Damn, a good day so far

Woke up at 6, rested even. Exercised for 40 minutes... not my best, but better than lying on my ass. Showered, herded the kids into clothes, made breakfast & snacks for the short ones, made a healthy breakfast for myself, packed a healthy snack for the shopping expedition I'm leaving for in about 10 minutes. Started dinner for the slow cooker (italian pork loin over sauteed onions with broth and wine). Made a grocery list (last night even) full of supplies needed for South Beach'n it this week. Have *not* had a smoke today - gave the pack to Quasi yesterday. Have a plan for getting through the rest of today (well ... mostly). Windows in the house are open, birds are singing and the sun is shining. ~snoopy dance~

How are y'all this morning?

Feeling accomplished

I've also registered for Pennsic today. Is it War yet?

The hardest part of the day

So yeah, I'm a post-whore today ... get over it. The hardest part of the day for me anyway, starts around 3 in the afternoon. The kids are up from naps and quiet time or home from school. If it's Tues/Wed/Thurs then I'm running them somewhere and trying to squeeze in dinner. These hours last until about 7 or 8pm, or roughly until the kids go to bed.

These hours between 3 and 7pm are when I tend to lose my resolve - my resolve to eat better (oooh ...potato chips ... shiny!) or have a cigarette, or whatever I'm struggling with. It's so farking ~aggravating~. Today I managed not to give in to either bad choice, eating poorly or smoke, but by ghod it was a struggle. Some times minute to minute. I know as soon as my blood sugar evens out (after a couple of days on the SB eating plan) and after the nicotine leaves the system (3 or so days), it *should* be easier, but I'm worried it won't be. The resolve will crumble, and I'll just end up in the same place all over again.

Waking in the morning the day seems full of possibility. Getting to the end of the day with everything intact though, is practically a miracle. Tomorrow I'll get up and try and do it all again, but bear with me over the next couple of days ... 'cause this shit is hard, yo ...
