Eating Out

Why it's it that I can do so well at eating right at home, but when I go to a restaurant I always easy crap?

My VT came over yesterday night and ended up staying for a little over an hour. It was a wonderful visit, but left very little time to make dinner. So Luca and I went to Noodles and Company. And instead of getting a nice salad with dressing on the side like I had planned, I got a big plate of Japanese Pan noodles. Ugh! I have NO will power when it comes to eating out. I just wasn't the good stuff!

The great thing about yesterday was Gabe and I got to play with some friends. I'm so terribly bad at staying in contact with people throughout the week. So we did a pop by visit to a friend that turned into a trip to WINCO and a couple hours of the grown ups talking and the kid playing. It was fabulous! And made me realize I miss having social interaction. So we continued the trend today with play group in our ward. Which was fun as well. I just hope I can keep it up.

My How Time Flies

So............how about those resolutions? Eh?

I suck! I can't believe I didn't blog once after that! I stayed pretty good on the rest of them.
This year I didn't make as many resolutions. I just made 2 new ones this year.

1. Get my family to eat more fruits and vegetables. Gabe is really good about this. He will usually pass on most foods unless he really wants something. But I can always get him to eat fruit. Luca and I are the ones that need the work. I always seem to forget to cook a veggie with dinner. And if we get snackie, we usually reach for chips. But not anymore!

2. This year I am really pushing to loose some weight. Mainly for health reasons. I have pretty severe asthma and the medications I am on for that make it pretty impossible to maintain a good weight. Which is stupid because the more overt weight I get, the worse my asthma symptoms are. This will be difficult, but Gabe is making it easier. He really likes to go to the park. And we only have one car that Luca takes to work most days. So we walk. And I'm loving it!

I bought some Chaco walking sandals and they have made all the difference. My feet get too hot for sites and socks in the summer, so this was such a great buy. I can walk just as much as I can with tennis shoes, but not have stinky sweaty feet after.

I have also started back up on Weight Watchers. This has been the only thing that has ever really worked for me to loose weight. I just hope I have the will power to stay on it for good. "It's not a diet, it's a life style." Let's hope that sticks!
