Keeping at it
I have been working hard to get back on track and despite a really really sore knee and a hectic schedule I have been doing ok. I am changing things up a bit and decided before I get my body totally smoking ;), I need to get my house in order. So this week all the time I would have spent working out I am going to spend doing a deep cleaning on my home. I love my home, but as living with four boys under the age of 8 can do, it is needing some TLC. So we are having "house cleaning parties" every night this week. My kids HATE house cleaning parties. With this new plan, I am also planning daily menus and going to try to get our food under a budget, home made and healthy. My kids, at least one of them every meal, WHINE about what I cook. I can never please everyone, unless we eat fast food, or I make hotdogs. Well sometimes after working all day and toting kids where they need to go, I give in and make junk so i don't have to listen to it. Well NO MORE. Starting tomorrow I am going to be a mean mom that makes my kids a home cooked healthy meal every night. And they are just going to have to deal with it.

You will be the meanest mom ever to cook for your kids and have them eat healthy...wow that's torture ;] I do understand trying to please everyone, but I've decided that the kids can either eat what I made or have crackers and water...it amazes me how often they go for the crackers. Either I'm an awful cook of my kids have no taste.
If they are hungry, they'll eat what you put in front of them. I never gave Kyle the option of crackers. If he didn't want to eat what I fixed, he could go to bed hungy. After going to bed hungry a couple of times, he always ate what I fixed. Now, he'll eat anything (including a lot of things that adults won't eat) and generally enjoys all of it.
