Just remember that saying……..

We eat to live not live to eat! I gave myself a good talk tonight about that. Hubby wanted homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner. It is like one of my all time favorite comfort foods. I really wanted it, had it in my food journal and everything. Then I decided why eat a half a cup of fatty mac and cheese for 543 calories. I was like holy cow I can eat a ton of vegetables for that! I did, I had veggies with my chicken instead and hubby had his mac and cheese and he gets the left overs tomorrow night too! He told me I don’t have to make it just for him anymore. Okay I wont’ he doesn’t need all that fat either!

I was wondering how much longer my BMI was going to be saying I am obese, so I played around with the BMI index tonight I guess I have to lose 34 more pounds. I can do it, I hate the word obese! It sounds crazy, but I want to be overweight.

I have been doing a lot of walking lately inbetween my bus runs. I need to get a new pedometer so I know how much I am walking.

Hope you are all having a great week!

Big HUGS!

    Good for you passing up that mac and how sweet that your husband said you didn’t have to make it anymore either. And I used to play with that BMI. Still do! I hate the word Obese. They couldn’t think of another word to use? :)
