Day 19: Get up and finish a project you started

I don't know about you, but I have so many unfinished projects. So today I am sitting down and finishing one project!

Day 18: Review

Go over each day and try to combine what we have done into one day. 
Drink water through the day. I have noticed that as I drink water throughout the day I become less hungry. The water is kind of filling me up so I eat less. Also, try eating your fruits and veggies first before you eat your meal. This way you fill up on the healthy stuff before you go to the main dish.
Exercise, I have continued exercising and I love the way I feel!
Eat healthy food, your body will love you for it!

Keep going I will be posting pictures of what I have done soon! 

Day 17: Smile

Sorry I'm behind my son got strep throat so I was taking care of a very sick boy.
Today I want you to smile all day long! A Smile goes a mile!
I know over the last week I have had a hard time smiling. It is hard to see the child you love so sick, and he only had the flu, but to keep us all sane we watched funny movies and when he got down I would try to make him laugh. Keep smiling! It gets you through a lot!

Here is some info about smiling. 

Check this out! I guarantee at least one good laugh! Let me know what you think!

Day 16: Eat healthy fat

Eat healthy fats, carbs, and whole grain. I use to think that whole wheat didn't taste near as good as white anything, until I tried it. Unless I make my own noodles I only use whole wheat pasta now. I have also made the switch with bread, crackers, and tortillas. Fish is a great way to get your good fats in. Check this out for five reasons we need this good fat.

Day 15: Don't go cold turkey

 Don't tell yourself you can't have something. Telling yourself you can't have something reminds me of when I was 16 and my mom and dad told me I couldn't be out past midnight. What did I do? Stayed out past midnight just because they said I couldn't. Telling yourself you can't have something only makes you want it more. I have tried the no soda thing several times. I went 4 years with out it... Then met my husband. The key is to try to eat/drink less. Instead of drinking soda all day, drink five sodas a day, then down to two then only one. You may start to find yourself craving it less and less. Remember though, these things take time. It doesn't happen over night.

Day 14: 20 minutes of exercise

Love this poem!

 Slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
Slow down mummy, make yourself a cup tea.
Slow down mummy, come and spend some time with me.

Slow down mummy, let's put our boots on and go out for a walk,
let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
Slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet and rest with me a while.

Slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let's have some fun, let's bake a cake!
Slow down mummy I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, its nice when you just stop.

Sit with us a minute,
& listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood is not here to stay!

I wish my boys would stay like this forever!
