Ode to a neglected blog:
Oh, how do I neglect Thee?
Let me count the ways.
I neglect Thee in August
I neglect Thee in September
I neglect Thee in October…..
I neglect Thee through new flooring installation
I neglect Thee while cruising
I neglect Thee while “Single” parenting
I neglect Thee the worst…..when Thy guilt thrust upon me is too much to bear.
But, here & now I pledge Thee my faithful attention & care.

FOOD: April 20th-26th
April 20th: True confessions: Ate after 7:30, because I was still hungry, & things got crazy right before then, w/ kids needing to go to bed. I ate a few small chunks of cheese, since my stomach was still growling, & then felt so icky, I stopped.
April 21st: Ate after 7:30, probably, but I'm not sure what time we quit, since I was out w/ friends.
April 22nd: Didn't eat after 7:30-got too busy w/ kids to finish supper, so just DIDN'T EAT!!!!
April 23rd: Did eat 3 pieces of candy after 7:30.......got so busy in the nursery at church, & they were sitting in my stroller cup-holder. These are some of the yummiest candy "kisses" I have ever had-not even really kisses-just sort-of shaped that way.......

FOOD: March 31-April 5
Mar. 31st: Didn't eat after 7:30. Thought about it, but when I remembered my new rule....I knew I couldn't. I still think it's one of the easiest things I have ever tried in being healthy!
Does anyone have any other really easy tricks for me?
April 2: Still doing ok, here. Though tonight, I was SO hungry & it was a real battle.

Mar. 31st: Dave got back.......we all were up way too late, as he didn't arrive until 9:30 pm.
April 2: Have been up too late....still. Having a bit of a hard time getting into a schedule. I'm sure it's the combination of a new baby & Daddy being back home.

FOOD: March 23-29th
Mar. 23rd: Finished eating at about 7:35. This is the best "rule" I have ever come up w/! Once I get the hang of it, (& actually REMEMBER that it is my goal), I think it will also be easy & make me feel better.
Mar. 24th: Didn't eat after 7:30! Drank almost all my water.
Mar. 25th: Ditto, except DID drink all my water.
Mar. 26th: Finished eating at 7:30. Did not eat after that, though the thought crossed my mind several times. Drank all my water!!
Mar. 27th: Did eat after 7:30. But, when I remembered my new rule, my fork went down & that was it. Not ANOTHER bite. This is actually one of the easiest "rules" re. food I have ever tried.

Mar. 23rd: Went to bed at a decent time......read a bit. But, the big news is, Natty went to bed at 7:30 pm!!! Now, today, I can finally start him going on a more normal schedule for a baby.
Mar. 24th: In bed later than I should have been. Natty went to bed well, though.
Mar. 25th: Headed to bed about 10:15 or so. Read. Natty in bed at 7:30!
Mar. 26th: In bed about 11-way later than it should be.....Natty went to sleep about 8:45. Any hints for starting to establish a schedule w/ him?
Mar. 27th: Don't rememer.
Mar.28th: Stayed up too late-watched KU Basketball w/ Ana! :-)
Mark 'em down!!!
Moving on!

FOOD: March 16th-22nd
Mar. 16th: Woo!! Hoo!!! Last night at about 9pm, I remembered my new goals for the next few weeks.
Trouble is, I had spent the time between about 7-9 bottling, diapering & tucking in kids. Natty is still rather difficult sometimes to get to sleep.
I did real battle in my mind about whether or not I could still eat-& have a good excuse. But, I couldn't come up w/ the good excuse, so.........
I DIDN'T EAT!!!!
Yeah!
I'm giving myself a round of applause for that one!
Mar. 17th: Man, is it harder to not eat past 7:30pm when you have company! We sat down to eat at 7pm, & had dessert after the kids went to bed.
Mar. 18th: Went out to eat at 7:30........so, there you go!
Mar. 19th: Forgot about new rules, since things were a bit CRAZY at my house yesterday.
Mar. 20th: Ditto
Mar. 21st: Ditto
Mar. 22nd: Remembered the rules!!!! At 7:11 last night, & I had started to cook myself some food, which wasn't done until 7:45......but I ate until I wasn't hungry, put the food away & didn't eat anymore!
