Last night I ate dinner really late. I ate so late because we were so busy and I wasn't able to start making dinner until almost 7:00! I had nutritious food, but it was just too late to be eating. I have decided that I'm going to try to follow Sherry's example and not eat past 7:00. If I get hungry later one, then I'll have a small snack, but I really want to have my main meals done by 7:00. I hope that helps. I guess the good thing about last night is that I could have had a quick something that wouldn't have been as good for me, so to me, it was worth it to fix a good dinner. I just don't want to eat that late again. Usually, we eat shortly after Cean gets home from work. Hmmm...I'll have to try to do that even if our days are crazy busy! :)
Dimitri and I are going to go to the park today! Fun, fun, fun! It'll be fun to have that to look forward to!

Plans!
Another day has come and gone, and once again, I am feelin' GOOD!!! I love the energy I have! I want to move, move, move! Dimitri and I had our dancing time together this morning, it was fun!
I have noticed a difference in my skin. Having my good oils every day has really helped my skin to be softer and I don't have to be putting lotion on constantly to keep my skin smooth. Thanks for asking about that, Mom! :)
So, I have a few new things to report! :)
First, when I win this competition, I am going to buy myself a new wardrobe! I'm really excited about that!
Second, when I lose 10% of my body weight, I am going to use the spa package that Cean gave me for Christmas!
I've got two things to really look forward to! :)
PS When I say, "When I win..." I have to do that so that I actually do win! I am visualizing it in my mind! I can see it happening. I can see myself healthier and smaller! I can see it!!! Of course, I want every one to do a fantastic job, but I want to win!

Veggies!!!
I just got home from mutual and the meeting we had after mutual as YW and YM Leaders. Anyway, on my way home I thought, "Oh no! I didn't have all my vegetables for the day!" I only had one serving of veggies when I should have three or four! So, as I am typing this, I am eating my veggies! I hope that eating this late doesn't have negative affects on me! :) I guess I'll take that chance. Plus, I am hungry. Anyway, now I know that I've had all my good oils, my veggies and everything else that I need to nourish my body!

Biggest Loser of the Week!
I'm the biggest loser of the week!!! I'm excited about that! I've been so happy for everyone else that's been the biggest loser of the week, but it feels good to see my name next to the congratulations sign! :)
So, today, I did well. Our day started early and is ending late. I knew it was going to be a long day, so I made sure to eat my good food and to remember to think positive about myself. I had a board meeting tonight with my young women presidency and my advisers. I knew that there would be yummy food there, and I wanted to set myself up for success. So, I made a veggie platter. I didn't feel like I was left out because I didn't have a muffin (even though they smelled and looked sooo good!). I had my beautiful veggies and enjoyed every last bite! I had some red and orange bell peppers, cucumber, celery and grape tomatoes. It was really tasty! Anyway, I feel good about my choices today. At our board meeting, I told the ladies that we are all examples to the young women that we serve and teach. It is up to us to be a good example or a bad example, but regardless, we are examples. I have been thinking about that in the form of being an example to Dimitri. I am an example and it is my choice if I want to be a good or bad example. I choose to be a good example to him. I choose to treat my body the way that it needs to be treated. For so long, I have mistreated my body by feeding it things that were not healthy. I am so grateful that I have the power to choose what I will and will not do. I will be a good example and I will treat my body with respect.

Doin' it the right way
Yesterday, Cean and I went to Joey and Naries for dinner. It was a nice time. Joey and Narie know that I am eating healthier and really taking good care of my body. When Narie offered juice for the drink, I asked for water. That was no problem. When we finished our dinner, she was getting the dessert ready for all of us. I let her know that I'd like to pass but that it looked really yummy (and it did!). Anyway, I was so glad for the understanding on their part. I was glad that I was able to graciously decline. I felt good about doing that and am happy about it today. I have not always been very good at doing that. Before I would just take it because it was offered or it just looked too good to pass up. Anyway, that's my story for yesterday.
I decided when we first started this competition that I would focus on eating correctly before adding any type of physical activity for the first month. In the past, I have always had a very hard time with eating correctly. I either eat too much of the wrong food, or I eat way too little of any type of food. I have been really focusing on learning what makes me feel good and what foods burn the fat. So, I have had a pretty fun time with discovering new things that I can make and enjoying it. There have been a few things that I have discovered that I DO NOT want to eat again. But now I'm eating things that are so delicious to me. It's been really refreshing to me to be able to sit down to a nice meal and eat all of it and enjoy every single bite. I used to think that I had to eat as little as possible to lose weight, but now I'm learning that I need to fuel my body so that I can lose weight and still be very healthy. I feel healthier now than I have in a long, long time. I have learned all of my new knowledge from Mom. Thank you so much, Mom for taking the time to teach me and help me to know what's best for me.
It's just about been a month since we started, so now I'm going to incorporate some physical activity into my routine. I feel good about doing that now. I have naturally been more physically active just because of feeling so much better. I WANT to move. I feel like I CAN move. So many times before I have gone about losing weight the wrong way, but now I am going about it the right way. I eat 5 or 6 meals a day and I'm always feeding my body what it needs to succeed. The past couple weeks, I haven't had a great weigh in, but I plan to have a good weigh in tomorrow. I know that there are tough weeks and great weeks. I'm committed to pushing through each week--even when it's hard.
I like reading what other people put on their blogs. I think it's great that there are so many of us that are really striving to be healthy. I'm glad for the support hat I feel, and I hope that everyone else feels my support for them. We are all on the right road to being more healthy.
Here's to continuing on.
