Whiny Day

 

          I am feeling whiny today. I should be feeling better. My back, which was killing me Friday, is all better. My sinus infection is gone and I am no longer in pain. My feet don't hurt. My blood pressure is back to normal. All that is good, but it is also a reminder that my body is getting older and with the extra weight, it is going to break down more often if I don't do something about it. Hence the whining. 

          I have great intentions, but then I go and completely fail at following through with them. My biggest problem is too many calories, but everything has so many calories in it to begin with. Salads are healthy as long as you don't add any dressing to them. The light version dressings are way more expensive though. I try and get healthy food options, but then I get tired and choose something more convenient that generally is loaded with calories. 

          Every day I take my vitamins, that is easy. I can get 10,000 steps in a day when I am not working. This is a good habit. When it comes to my appetite though, I am totally horrible at controlling it. I really don't get how my kids can be so in control of their eating habits, I mean the specific times and exact amounts, and I suck at it. Part of it is they enable me a bit. I have good intentions, but then they tempt me with something I shouldn't eat, and I give in. I know they do not do it out of a bad place, they do it cause they just want me happy, but in the long run I am not happy. I end up feeling bad about myself. Maybe I should just be honest with them and tell them to knock it off LOL.

          Okay, today we are hopefully going to get to go to Aquatica. Yesterday it poured rain so we missed out on SeaWorld. It is hurricane season, but the rain usually comes in the late afternoon. So if we go early afternoon LOL maybe we can make it. Just have to get everyone awake at the right time.
