Day 35, or is it day 36?

I am not counting these days to healthy, I guess.  I am feeling good about how far I come.  Some days I am hard on myself about not "being better" at it. But I am proud.  I successfully turn down the sweets my husband offers me...except last night ;).   I ate a very small piece of pie that he bought.  I felt I deserved it.  I continue to use veggies in anything I can, in any way I can.  hehe.  I have been successful at getting all the older kids to like something healthy TWICE this week!!!  This is a huge accomplishment because I have 2 extremely picky eaters and one who just doesn't like "new" stuff.  I have been food processing veggies and putting them in turkey meatloaf, spaghetti sauce and anything else that looks like it could "hide" something.  We ate Israeli cous cous with an assortment of healthy  "things" in it last night and they loved it.  It definitely put a smile on my face. 

My biggest struggle is to stay moving. I get stuck on the computer or just want to sit down after doing chores..how do I pry myself up???  It is a self-discipline thing, I know, I know.  And getting up at 6 is working about half the week.  Sometimes my alarm doesn't go off and sometimes I press snooze and then off and never get up.  I knew this would be hard for me.  I have always been a night owl and far from a morning person.  I would do these things during nap except that it's finally me time and I really want to read the bible and pray during that time and I don't feel that should be given up for a little exercise. 

So, progress is slow but I feel I am giving a good effort.  And very very slowly I am seeing a drop in weight.
