Before After

Exhausted

I am exhausted! I did so much activities yesterday and I don't know how I kept up with it. After I dropped my husband off at work, we went to the YMCA.

As I was running on the treadmill, I noticed I started to feel sleepy for some strange reason. Not sleepy like I'm exhausted but like my whole body felt very relax and that I was in some kind of tranquil. I wanted to laid down and close my eyes. Of course I can't do that in the middle of a gym.

I did my 30 minutes walk/run and went to Kohls to shop for some new clothes. I was happy that I can fit into a size 10 short now but what surprised me the most was the shirt. I'm used to buying size L shirts and when I put it on to check if it looks good with my short, I was surprised how baggy the shirt was on me. So I ended up getting a M size. I guess I shrunk more on top than on the bottom. But that's okay because I know I am getting closer to my goal than I realize. I was really happy to get some new clothes. I told myself that if I hit the 130's, it's time to get myself some new clothes. So I did.

After my clothes shopping, I took my daughter to the playground for an hour. She was so excited to go and make some new friends. But there was a little girl there that was about the same age as my daughter. I was very concerned about this girl because she was very heavy for a 2 years old. I watch her play with my daugher and they were climbing a ladder to the slide side by side to each other. My daughter made it up faster than she did. I watch how this little girl struggle with each breath to get up that ladder. I don't know this girl's situation as why she is heavy but I hope it's not because her parents let her eat whatever she wants and doesn't move around a lot during the day. But that may not be the reason. She could be sick herself with cancer or some type of disease that I don't know of. I know those chemotherapy can make you all swollen and stuff. I don't want to make judgement on that girl as I don't know her situation but I do wonder why. I never saw her parents around the playground and she stayed there for only 10 minutes and then she was gone.

Later, I saw a boy who is about 7 or 8 and he was playing with some of the older boys. He too was heavy and the boys were picking on him, pushing him around, and laughing at him. He was laughing along with them but I can tell they were laughing AT him and I thought it was really mean. I'm deaf and I don't know what they said but I have to wonder if this boy is covering up his feelings by laughing along with them because I didn't see anything funny about it. Those situation made me think a lot about children today not eating healthy because parents don't have the knowledge of healthy eating or they just don't want to bother.

It's funny how I was thinking about that because a friend texted me on my pager and asked me if there is anything in particular that I don't want in a dessert for easter. I told her that as long as it doesn't have trans fat, I'm fine with everything else for now. She texted me back and said what is trans fat? Oh boy. Then my husband and I tried to invite her and her husband to join us at this BBQ place and she didn't want to go there. She rather go to Johnny Rocket for some hamburger, fries, and milkshakes. I was like whoa that's one huge calorie dinner.

Later we met a park to play with some frisbee to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. That was more running around for me heh, but I don't mind. After the park, we left and stopped at McDonald for a small ice cream sundae. I wish I could take a picture of my daughter's face when  I brought the ice cream out. She was sooo thrilled to have some ice cream and she ate it like she was starving all day LOL.

On our way home, my husband surprised me by telling me how my friend look like she is gaining weight from all that food she is eating. I didn't even know my husband was paying attention to our weight. He also mentioned how I look more slimmer now. I was really flattered that he told me that. So that was a nice way to have my day ended as we drive home. I was soo tired as we got home and I feel asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

What a lot of insight...

I feel sorry for those children.  We are totally responsible for what goes in our kids mouths and I really see a lot more overweight children now more than ever.

My son does not get fast food.  He eats at home most of the time.  And he sees me run....I set a good example for him so that he sees me living it and he will just life it naturally too that way. 

What a sweet husband to say that you are looking so good!!  YEAY HUBBY!!!  lol.

Hope you are having a great Saturday.....I will be posting to my blog in a few with my WI results!!!  YIPEEEE

Have a good one!!

Awesome!

You had a fantastic day!  Hubby is wonderful for commenting that you are looking slimmer.  You bet'cha that they are watching!! 

Be on the look out in 2008 for a book called "Raising Fit Children in a Fat World" or something to that effect... it's by Judy Halliday and someone else Joani Mack, comes to mind... but it will shed a lot of insight to parents.

Have a great week!
