SO much better.

Dawn Patrol class was GREAT this morning... I expect to be feeling it tomorrow. Plus I get to swim again tomorrow and I'm just stoked for that. Despite getting sick yesterday I am SO glad I went swimming. I have always been a water-bug. My grandpa taught me to swim around 3-4 years old in the river near his house. Swimming feels natural to me. I know a lot of people struggle with it. My husband HATES putting his head underwater, but for me, swimming is like flying... totally free.

I ate nearly 0 protein yesterday... lots and lots of carbohydrates tho. One thing this clean-eating challenge has shown me is that I had been allowing myself WAY WAY WAY too many licks, bites and tastes of things through out the days. A few goldfish crackers here, a bite of ice cream or two there, a few corn chips and pretty soon you've got an extra 500+ calories that you haven't even written down. Whoah! Maybe I thought I was eating 1500 calories but really, with all of the licks, bites and tastes I'd been creeping up toward 2000 or even 2200... no WONDER I have been stalled for so long!

In any case, it is a good lesson to learn... and I truly believe that if I keep even that ONE lesson in mind for the next few months, the scale will move again and maybe I'll finally leave the 150s behind for good. We can always hope, right?

Oh... and I added links to some pics of the boys in the stats-section... but all of the pictures are at LEAST a year old, so when I get around to putting up the France pictures, I'll put up some more recent ones of the boys as well!!!
