30for30,eating & exercise, children

My 30 for 30 update  for the week- I really did do good except for (possibly) Fri.  when my kids came in and we went to the chinese restaurant.  I was picky about what I got from the buffet.  I only chose foods that were not fried but as I mentioned elsewhere you just don't know what is in the sauce they put on the meat. 
Each day I stayed low carb,  I am not really seeing a differance in the scales but I am seeing a differance in the way my clothes fit.  I am not nearly as miserable in my church clothes.  I have more energy, I have less cravings.

Josie,  I read you blog and I want to reply to your blog here

I never was a big pasta or rice eater, my weakness was sandwiches.  I would eat what ever woud fit between two pieces of bread.    It was very difficult the first time I went to Golden Corral and they put that buttered bread in the middle of the table.  But the desire to eat like that gets a little easier to handle as I got more into the low carb eating.  I am not even going to try to say that I didn't want it I am saying it just got a little easier.

I quess I am lucky that I love broccoly and brussel sprouts and okra and cauliflower, I love celery -I put chicken salad on celery and eat it as finger food.  Fooling myself with child psychology that I am eating an unusual sandwich.

I ate good today, and I exercised for an hour. I love doing leslie sansonne videos. My niece asked today what I was doing I told her I was exercising and she asked why, (remember she's 5 and it don't pay to give too much details) I said to get big muscles she asked to see my muscle and I showed her and she said "where is it "so I pointed and she said where I pointed again and she said "that flappy thing under your arm is a muscle, too?"

I laughed, I mean what else could I do?
