“Doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching!”

I have been thinking about that qoute a lot lately, especially when it comes to eating healthy and getting exercise in. I got into a cycle of hiding food for awhile, I don’t know why I did. I don’t have anyone that would chastise me for my choices, except myself. Sometimes I hid it because of the kids, if they saw me eating something sweet then they would want it too and I didn’t want to share it. Selfish I know. lol

This past week I have really strived to focus on doing right even though nobody is looking. I haven’t felt the need to get my fair share in..something I think I have held onto since I was a kid. I had two big brothers and if you didn’t get your share you might as well kiss it goodbye. Its pretty much the same thing in my house now. Before WW’s I had bought some Ben N Jerry’s and I was proud that I could eat just a few bites and put it back in the freezer…it met my need without consuming the whole thing. Only to find out a few nights later when I had another craving my ice cream was GONE! Both my husband and oldest son are the culprits and it really makes for a bitchy mommy! lol

So along with staying OP I am trying to focus on those habits that I developed since I was a kid and retraining my thinking about food. No hording or hiding…and I am striving to eat right and live a healthy attitude even though nobody is watching.

I had a pretty good OP Tuesday and even got my exercise in. I got busy with my homework when I got home and figured I would have to skip it. It was 10pm and I asked my dh if he would mind going with me down to the lake so I could swim. My husband is a magnut for mosquitoes and sweat flies and every bite makes him swell. I was surprised that he agreed to go with me…I decided to skinny dip which I am sure is a big motivator on his part. lol He doesn’t swim as well as me so he bobbed along on his innertube. lol We did two laps on the lake and it was beautiful…no moon but the stars were out in abundance. We had beautiful music provided by the crickets and frogs and a few jumping fish. The water had a mist over it so my nudie butt wasn’t as apparent to the neighbors who might look out their back windows. lol DH asked if I wanted to do it again tonight..he wants to be supportive. lol

I truly need to get moving. Its going on 10 am and I need to get my breakfast in and sort laundry and pack for 2 of my kids who are leaving for 3 day summer camp tomorrow. I am totally NOT ready for it. ugh
