I have been indulging lately. In bad vices, good food and evil money. I haven’t been working out like I used to and I am way out of shape. For the most part I am healthy. I don’t drink soda, well maybe once a week, I eat my veggies, drink water, etc.

I feel tired, I feel blah, I feel like I am almost 32…

Oh wait, I will be in two months.

I don’t want to feel sluggish. I don’t want to drag myself in from work, and plop down to two or three bad vices, then pass out. I need energy, I need good sleep, I need a flatter belly good dammit. I only want to lose about 15 pounds. I am realizing that I need to change my ways, again.

It is getting colder by the minute. I take my husband to his drop off point where he is picked up for work at 6 am. Last week it was ok. This week it is cold as hell in the morning. And because of the time change it is now day light at 6 am. So its cold and daylight and I don’t like light or coldness.

Thats why I had such a great day today. It was over cast and because it was cold,  I got a Venti Non fat vanilla latte at , yes you guessed it, Starbucks. I love Starbucks and I don’t care what anyone says. Its like christmas when I get to go there. Anyway it was an ok day. I’m glad the week is about to be over.

Actually its not. I got work all day tomorrow AND Saturday.

I know Ice cream is very popular among kids, I mean, I like it too. But how much is too much? I don’t let my daughter have it that much (maybe twice a week) She get too hopped up on sugar and not to mention weight gain. She is pretty active, but thats still alot of refined sugar.

I try to find healtier treats, for instance I have been making rice pudding. Now white rice is refined, but you can make it with brown rice. I want to try that. There is also loads of fruits that she likes and then there is the occasional bag of flaming hot cheetos.

We need to be careful… there is A LOT of refined sugar in food marketed towards kids.
