Before After

Friends

Sometimes all you need to make your day happy is to see your friends.

As I was packing the car to leave and take my daughter to the playground, my daughter started calling out her best friend's name who is also 2 years old. So I paged my friend and asked her if she was free this afternoon. She was just picking up her oldest daughter from school and told us to come on over! We decided to take all the kids to the playground together and then have ice cream afterwards.

My friend has 4 kids and when I joined her, my daughter makes 5. So it's hard to drag 5 kids to a place and make them sit still. I went to the food store to pick up some of those ice cream cups and I found a birthday ice cream cake in those little cups. I thought how cute and they would love it. The ice cream really good. I would have been okay if it wasn't for my friend's husband offering key lime pie that he received from a friend. It was not bad.

After the ice cream and everything, another friend paged us who is Alyssa's babysitter asking if we would join them for dinner at her apt. So we left and joined my other friend. She ordered pizza. I wasn't crazy about eating pizza for dinner since I just had an ice cream cup and key lime pie. I didn't realized I was so hungry because I hadn't eaten all afternoon except for the desserts. That's not good meal planning, I know! But it was my daughter's birthday and I wanted to enjoy the day with her. So I had some pizza and we chatted for a bit. We got home so late and my daughter became very gassy. Her farts smelled so bad that she came to me and told me she was stinky by putting her hands on her nose.

I'm not going to let the food I ate yesterday to get to me but I sure had a bit of a tummy ache since I'm not used to eating so much sugar and fatten food. It's interesting how your body changes when you start eating more healthier. I used to be able to eat a lot of heavy food with no problem, but now I would get stomach ache and sometimes gassy that it hurts. I am lactose intorlance and when I eat a lot of dairy food, I get very bloated, gassy and it hurts. Most of the time, I would have a small ice cream and I would be okay, but too much is not good. I drink soy milk and eat soy yogurt with no problem.

Today will be a simple day for us. I may go to the gym and go shopping. Hope you all have a happy Thursday!

Special Occasions

When it comes to a special occasion like your daughters birthday I think that we should be able to enjoy those days and have birthday cake and goodies.  It is only far that we too get to celebrate so I never feel bad when then things come along.  That to me is realistic.

Thanks for the advice, it is a great idea and I am going to try real hard next week to do my exercise in the morning.

Glad to hear...

you had fun! That is all that matters! It looks like it was a blast and what's better than celebrating your DD's birthday! I hope you had an amazing time, and don't worry about what you ate, you only do it once in awhile, and like you said you are getting used to the new changes your body is taking which means you are listening to your body!

Keep up the good work, and I hope your tummy is feeling better!

Celebration

You've got to set certain days aside for celebration.  It sounds like you had a great time. Take each day as it comes.  Tomorrow is another day.  Work out as you planned and be confident in your journey.
