The Words I Never Thought I'd Hear

I took my kids to the dentist first thing this morning. Ellie took a little longer than Jack so I took him back to the waiting room so he could play while we waited. After talking to the people at the front desk I sat down. There were some ladies sitting on the other side of the room. I'd guess they were mid-20's. They were with a little girl who was waiting to go back. So one calls out to me and said that she just told her sister, "I like her shoes, I like her shirt" (Note: I was in my workout clothes because I was going to run when we were done). Then the sister says, "And I said I like her stomach! It's flat!!"
Who me? After I had Jack (and by after I mean a year), I couldn't even suck in my stomach to go flat anymore. My stomach has never really been flat, mind you, but I used to at least pretend it was for about 16 seconds before I had to exhale.
So that's awesome. I am struggling a little bit though. I'm getting too lax. I notice that I'm slipping into old habits, only I'm keeping active. It's starting to show a bit on the scale though. I just can't kick myself into gear. I keep forgetting to track. I start out great, then by lunch I just space it. By the time I remember, I don't want to track because I know I've snuck too many things in my mouth and I just don't want to be accountable for it. It's not like I eat a whole key lime pie or anything. I eat 2 or 3 PointsPlus values at a time. But those totally add up. I've got to get in gear. I'm supposed to be the example now! This has been going on for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. I've stayed within plus or minus a pound or so, but I want to lose about 5-10 more and the way I'm sliding by is not going to cut it. I blamed it on my period at first, but that so can't be an excuse anymore. I'm going to clean my fridge tomorrow. Maybe that will help things. I've noticed before that when my fridge it clean, I'm more likely to go there to find a snack than my cupboard. The fridge always has better snacks for me. And if my kitchen is clean, I'm more likely to cook something in it. That makes my kitchen dirty and thus the downward spiral begins. But I'll try it. I'm going to clean out my fridge and keep my kitchen clean. I'll check in next week and post my progress.
