Change Sucks!

Yea, yea, yea, I know that I posted the other day about changing your life, so why would I call this post "Change Sucks"? Well, because I have just come off one of the hardest weeks.

It is so hard to let your child grow up and make necessary changes. I have been a homeschool mom and able to shield my son from the big, bad world. We've had our warm, comfortable one where we snuggle on the couch doing school. Last week changed all of that when my almost 8-yr old went to school for the first time...starting in 2nd grade.

I had NO IDEA how hard it was going to be...FOR ME!

Yes, he's already hit bumps, but I know in my head that change takes time. I tell that to people every single day. My mommy heart, however, says something completely different. It's basically saying SCREW THIS!

I'm gonna suck it up. Not because I want to, but because I have to.

Change takes time. Change takes adjustment. Change is uncomfortable. Change SUCKS. Without change, however, there is no growth...and that isn't acceptable.

Day Off

Morning! I'm taking a few days off here. My son started school on Wednesday, and it's been a tad rough...for ME! I'll be back posting on Monday! Have a great weekend!

Healthy Eating Tips

The basics:

Don't forget your calcium
Good sources include low fat or non fat milk, cheese, and yoghurt, or calcium fortified foods and beverages.

Eat diverse carbs
A healthy diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk.
Eat healthy at restaurants
Choose steamed, grilled, or broiled, rather than fried or sauteed dishes.

Eat healthy snacks
Take healthy snacks with you so you aren't tempted to buy unhealthful choices. Try fruit, cut up vegetables, cheese, or unsalted nuts.

Eat low fat protein
A healthy non vegetarian diet includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts.

Focus on fruit
Eat a variety of different fruits each day.

Go lean on protein
Choose lean, low fat sources of protein, such as lean meats, poultry (remove the skin), and fish.

Healthy lunches
Take a sandwich on whole grain breads, with a piece of fruit and non sweetened drink (water, low fat milk, or fruit juice).

Know your food groups
Grains; milk and milk products; fruits; vegetables; meat, poultry and fish; and nuts, seeds, and legumes.
