Don't even start on the evils of candy. Why can't I resist the yummy goodness of M&M's. Mom...stop buying them for your candy dish!! Especially the scrumptious dark chocolate.....
And then there's the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Hearts, Eggs, Pumpkins and Trees. How can something sooo good be sooo bad?!?
Needless to say, my goals this week haven't been met. Luckily it's only Tuesday and I have the rest of the week to make up for the candy binge I had this weekend. Now to stay out of the kid's stash.

April Goals
Ok, I figured since it's still early in April I can post what I'm going to accomplish this month.
Walk 5-6 days a week to get myself used to exercizing. If I say only 3 days a week, I know I'll fail because I'll work out Monday....then before I know it, Saturday will roll around and I haven't done any more walking. So if I have more days I'm committed to, then I'll keep it up.
I'll be walking 2 miles this month (30 minutes) using the Walk Slim system mom has. I'm already feeling better doing it.
I also plan to cut back on the sweets and such. I'm going to watch what I eat and just try not to go overboard. Basically if I end up giving in to temptation I'll forgive myself and start again the next day instead of beat myself up and eat more of the same old thing.
That's all I'm going to focus on for this month. It's mostly to get an exercise routine set in place so I won't fail this time. This is a lifestyle change for me as well as my family. I'm hoping Jordan and Melody will follow mom's example and get active. If I'm active...I'll be more inclined to get them moving around.

Down again
So I weighed myself last Thursday and I'm down another 2 pounds. Of course this has been since I weighed on March 12th, but a loss is a loss. I've started walking again. 2 miles in 30 minutes. I'm going to stick with this routine 5-6 days a week for a month. This is just for me to get used to exercising.
I'm trying to make better food choices as well, but eating three handfuls of m&m's doesn't help. I have been really good though with not picking up goodies to have in the house when I'm at the grocery store like I used to. I really need to get a menu made up with what I'll eat for lunch and dinner so as to have it all on hand. Any suggestions on good recipes are always welcome.
