day 2 of week 2

Re diet & journaling: So far so good.

Joshua is feeling better today and this makes me feel better. Unfortunately, he will not be feeling so hot after receiving his (very late) 15 month shots this afternoon... but I will aim to be brave so he is brave too.

I am trying to think of something I can reward him with for being a brave boy instead of shoving a cookie in his mouth... maybe we will go to Chapters instead and get him a nice new book to enjoy?

I am trying to instill the good food skills I am currently learning about into Joshua's life early on so he does not grow up thinking the best way to reward himself is through a yummy treat... If only I could get that through MY thick skull, this weight loss thing would be oh-so-much easier!

Congrats to Penny on your victory on the scales yesterday!

The thing I noticed at RPC was the fact that there were really not many opportunities to snack between meals. There are so many different things to do that you don't find yourself trying to keep those hands busy. And, if you want to snack, you have to bring your own (or buy it from the tuck shop). I think this is great as it makes it so you are able to indulge (just a little bit) during those meals since there really are only 3 of them (unlike when the food or access to somewhere for food is essentially available at all times when you are at home). Keep up the good work!

Have a good day.
