We went strawberry picking this morning.
It was fun, kind of. The people weren’t as friendly as the
people at other berry farms, but the kids had fun. I only had
$5 so we didn’t get a giant load of them, but it didn’t really
matter since no one lasted that long anyway. We met Michelle
and co. and while we picked the kids ate. I ended up with just
under a pound of strawberries and I’m pretty sure the kids ate
at least another pound. We left just as the sun was breaking
through the fog and headed to Panera Bread. That was nice
:)

This afternoon I packed
the kids up for another WW meeting. I’ve been struggling with
motivation for the past few days and another meeting was just
what I needed. I think WW is really going to help me because
the support network is what I need most. I know all about
exercise and healthy eating, but what I need is someone to
understand why I make bad choices when I feel guilty about
yelling at Lex, for example. So we went today and it was my
favorite one so far! The leader was great, the group was small
and everyone really liked the kids. I’m going to try a lunch
time meeting next week, with the same leader. I was thinking
that well rested kids at an afternoon meeting would be best,
but instead I have two very energetic, active kids. Maybe at a
lunch meeting Lex will be tired and happy to sit quietly and
read or something. We’ll see. I did an unofficial weigh in and
was very happy with the results. That helped a lot with the
motivation :)
