Sarah- lost count of weeks :(

I didn't realize that I was forgetting my "diet" until I passed the scale today and couldn't remember the last time I weighed myself! It's crazy how adding a little to our family calendar can knock me off my focus. I have added duties at work and I just traded my me time for stress, I guess. I really don't like that I immediately trade my needs to rescue other people- including my family. Even though it is nice to serve others, I need to find the balance and stop sacrificing my physical and mental health to solve other people's problems. That may sound harsh, but I really get tired of finding myself in this situation time after time. I often think of the phrase, "If mamma ain't happy than nobody's happy." I know this is true and I also know that sometimes it feels like I am in charge of too much!
I must keep repeating, "Vitamins. Water. Sleep. Exercise." and to fill up my stommach with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and THEN a little chocolate :)
