Getting side tracked...

[nicci_ann]

Why is it everytime I ask to clean your room, the kids get side tracked?  How is it if I am in there we are done withing an hour, but if I'm not around it takes hours.  And I don't mean hours, I mean HOURS. LOL  I swear my 10 year old thinks if she is just sitting in her room on her bed, it qualifies as cleaning. LOL  I really think I need to look into ways to motivate them.  Taking things away and keeping them from fun activities is just not working. 

My diet... Well yesterday went well.  Day 4 is today.  I am doing alot better about not being as hungery.  Maybe my body just had to adjust to it.  I know more days will come where I will be hungery, but right now I am really motivated.  My very close friend just hit the 25 pound mark, and I just loaned her a bunch of my smaller clothes.  (with the understanding that I get them back when I get back down. LOL)   She won't be in them very long though.  She is shorter than I am, and will just keep shrinking.  But seeing all my smaller clothes really helped me put into perspective my diet and my health.  I felt so much better about myself when I was wearing them.  I have pictures around somewhere with me in them, and man did I look good! LOL  That in it self is motivating to me today. 

Now to get that exercise in.   I really need to make exercise a priority.  But it seems like I have so much on my plate.  Homeschooling, and the kids dragging their feet getting done doesn't help.  I really need to find out what will help them get done in a timely manner.  Hmmm.  Gotta think about this.
