"Made it through all the 4th of July festivities! Two days of Bar-B-Q's. Now it's time for myself to start putting my focus onto the second week of my personal challenge! Made great choices in food today. I could tell I didn't drink enough water today I was busy taking care of kids who are tired from a long couple of days and another one who is sick! I feel that is what every mom does. Puts their kid's needs first over their own even when I know what I should be doing. Over all I feel strong and back on track! This week is going to be awesome. I still have positive thoughts and a strong motivation to rise above and knock it out despite my other obligations I have to do.
Today I went grocery shopping. Picked up the staples for the week. Some fresh fruit, veggies. I found myself spending most of my time on the outside of the store then in the aisles! For me that is a big thing. My cart was full of greens, colors, lean chicken, eggs and egg whites, whole wheat breads and some brown rice. Feels good to know that my fridge and cupboards are packed up with healthy choices! What I really enjoyed watching was my kids and there excitement as I put them away! I washed the plums and dried them off and put them in my fruit basket on the counter. They noticed them and sat down at the table and bit into them. Loved that they chose that then asking me for a cookie or fruit snacks. Which they did have later on by I'm glad that they will eat fruits and vegetables too!
Also I was super excited that we got to eat out of our garden tonight for dinner. The kids and I were able to pick lettuce leaves to put on our turkey burgers! I also made a salad with it too! So fun to be able to do that! Even more fun I was able to get it from my back yard! I'm making a list of veggies that I want to grow next summer! It's been fun for the whole family and everyone benefits it in many ways!
I didn't get in a run today so I'm hoping tomorrow I can get in a good exercise. My body and my stresses definitely build up if I go a few days without a workout.
Onto keeping up with my goal! Going onto week 2!"

My favorite part of today's journal (the whole thing is amazing, very inspiring!) is how SuperMom's kids chose healthy, whole fruits! I've noticed myself that my children copy what they see their mother eat. Maybe not right away, but eventually! Spending some time during the weekend to stock up on healthy fruits, vegetables, and dinner staples is a wonderful way to insure successful eating habits during the week! Great job, SuperMom!
