I succeeded in challenge number 1. Also during the weekend I managed to stay calm, I didn't yell of got angry and even we had some terrible weather this weekend it was good. I have that idea that the kids are listening better (I only have to ask things 3 times instead of 5...), they are more cuddling, more open. I'm really amazed by the effect. I was setting this challenge because I didn't feel good by the way things with the kids were going. But now I know that also the kids probably weren't feeling well.
This morning (getting ready for school is always a challenge and at some point something is going the way they want and one of them will get a mood swing). This morning it was the eldest and she was screaming and kicking is the middle of the street. But we had to go to school in order for not being late. I stayed calm, didn't yell back, but reflecting on it, I could have listened more for why she was feeling this angry and communicate about solving it later. I will work on that.
So up to challenge 2: getting a more healthy food habit and losing some weight!
A few years ago I lost a lot of weight by setting myself to a stick eating regime for about 10 weeks. De years following, the weight didn't come on again. But the last few months I'm eating too much of bad stuff like chips, chocolate, candy, cookies and drinking soda's with too much sugar. So, a few pounds are getting on again. And I want to stop that process now. So in order for that I will follow my food regime for the loosing and keep attention of what I put in my mouth. Asking myself if what I want to put in my mouth, is it good for me of not? So my goal is to loose about 9 pounds and after that keeping the healthier food intake!
My question for you: how do you resist eating the bad (but o so nice) food intake into proportions?
have a nice day, smile and be kind
