New food rule - don't diet it sounds like you know what to do - if you veer off from what you want don't shame yourself - you look and sound healthy and beautiful so take it in your stride and by that I mean don't get sucked into any diet culture - I wholeheartedly agree with you about sleep and just remember your children see and hear your example just as we did with our parents So maybe try and creatively think of a way you can fit enough sleep into your 24 hours without missing out on the valuable quality time with children of different ages What will work for you will be what you can stick to - what is sustainable for you - we all have different lives so experiment, tweak and see diet as a lifelong work in progress There are some foods I went through a phase and ate everyday that I am not interested in eating now and you may have observed in your family some members tastes change over time Diet is not an exact science and no one else can really tell you what to eat - try as they might I am responsible for everything I choose to put in my mouth for good or bad We all have contributing factors or stressors that make it a challenge (medications, chronic illness, busy lives etc) though at the end of the day it is me that is responsible for how I treat and care for my body Prayer helps Some altenative snacks that may help include apples, protein bars, natural yoghurt, zero sugar cordial, low calorie jelly, tuna with corn, some cooked chicken breast sprinkled with cinnamon salt and a little bit of honey Having a savoury breakfast can also really help It is ok to have a treat even if it is chocolate and even a healthy eater may occasionally overeat It is more about learning how not to binge or at least lessen how often You got this!

Yes, thank you for this! I need to just bring back some good habits that are sustainable. We are a musical family so there are a lot of later nights. The performers don't like to eat much before performing so are usually very hungry when they get home so we usually have late night snacks. I definitely don't need to partake in that all of the time. :-) I need to find that balance between making an effort to be healthier, but not being so extreme that I won't continue. Thanks so much for watching and your comment!

My gardening is done in 15-20 minutes increments daily, and yes, it makes a huge difference. I am trying to talk myself into going out to weed right now. Have a wonderful day. I have a Roku and get pandora on the app list. If I am trying to make myself work in the house (which I hate being indoors) it works to set myself a 5 song ritual. I tell myself that I only have to work through 5 songs, and sometimes, if the music feed is right, I will find myself working through a longer stint of songs and getting more done than I planned. Music makes it better.
