I'm a chocoholic.
I don't mean to be but it helps me get through the days. Not that there is anything wrong with my days. I'm am as blessed as any person can be; with husband; with child; with a roof over my head; with education; with the ability to fend for myself etc. The list could go on and on until the break of dawn!! But sometimes I'm brought to my knees by the realities of life. I'm not going to go into details, but I'm thankful for what I have.
This is a sentiment I've developed over the years (although I still take many things for granted...many, many things I'm sure) but I've decided, in conjunction with the Rock that Firecracker would possibly benefit from this kind of sentiment also. We are going to add something to her routine now that she's talking and processing her thoughts out loud. Instead of prayers before bed, we're going to give thanks and think of ways to give back. Just before story time. I'll keep you posted on how it works out. Thanks to a special friend for planting the idea in my head :)
Back to being a chocoholic, I just ate a white chocolate brownie while drinking a hot chocolate. It needed to be admitted and hopefully I'm on the road to recovery. Since I stopped BF-ing Firecracker in December, my weight has shot up...thanks to my love of chocolate and driving instead of walking, it's time to do something about it.
I'm contemplating banishing sweets from the house but that could give Firecracker negative images of food consumption...maybe I could put them in a safe and give The Rock the key...too far? Well, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I've eaten chocolate (in one form or another) almost every day since Firecracker was born (2 years ago) and I'm ready to let go.
Oh, I almost forgot. I have to make a GF Cake for tonight's dinner party with my parents...guess what flavor :s
im both a chocoholic and a blogoholic..lol so im always excited to see friends who have blogs! yay... anyway i have recently been on a downsizing mission, my discovery has been... if you put it in you have to work it out... if you have to have choc everyday, you must exercise!
ReplyDeleteI use an iphone app 'myfitnesspal' its AMAZING... and you can log in online or use it on android so it not ltd to only iphones. anyway let me know if you need some support, post baby its so hard to do something for yourself! xx KARA
Thanks for the support, Kara :) I've recently come to the same conclusion thanks to a billboard that said: 'I like to run...because I LOVE dessert' or something like that lol! But it's true. However, the soles of my 2 year old $200 fitness shoes have hardly felt the cold slap of a Dunedin pavement so I have to get back to it! But it's a mission!!! That and the fact I can't set foot in a gym, not on principle but the levels of motivation almost knock me to the ground he he! XX
