Day 7: Mommy's View

Hey ya'll!
Today has been a pretty good day. I am finally starting to feel "skinnier". Its amazing how good you feel when you are eating healthy and exercising regularly. FOr breakfast i had some oatmeal with some fresh cut up apples and some dried cranberries. It was yummy! I've decided my first weight goal is going to be to lose 24 pounds. That will put me under 200 and make me one happy gal:) My biggest issue with eating healthy and being home all day is SNACKING. Its not that im bored (believe me i have plenty to do), I just find myself thinking all day about what snack i should have next. Today i tried to curb my snacking by eating one or two baby carrots every time i wanted a snack. Im glad we dont have any cookies or junk food around here. I think it will get easier for me once school starts because i will be busy teaching during the day and wont have time to think of food (hopefully). Anyone have any good tips on helping with the urge to snack?
For lunch the kids and I ate with Mammy at Chili's. I had the Margarita Grilled Chicken. It was really good!
For dinner i baked some cod with lemon, cilantro, and garlic. I served it with quinoa and asparagus. It was a light meal and i was hungry for a snack (of course) not to long after we ate. Today for our P90X workout you had the option of resting or doing a stretch video. And the fact that i already have bottles made for the night, Kaleb's lunch in the fridge for tomorrow, dishes from dinner are in the dishwasher, and Kaleb and Jax are passed out on the couch.. is making me think we chose the "rest" option:). I hate that Kaleb has to work long days outside on these HOT summer days. I'll be happy for him when school starts and he gets to go back to his regular  off-at-two-thirty schedule. 
Maybe tomorrow wont be so hot? (a girl can dream right?)
Anyway, thats all i have for today! Hope everyone has a great night!
