Its Spring Break here at the university, meaning that its quiet, most of the staff has taken off and our usually overcrowded parking lot is almost empty. As a staff member I LOVE school breaks, even though I usually still have to be at work. In celebration I decided that I would eat that wonderful Butterfinger Sonic Blast that I've been dreaming about for 3 days. Of course, it and the cheese tots completely crashed any hope of a good dietary day. It was sure good while it lasted though. Obviously I'm going to have to do a little thing called 'planning' for the rest of the week to keep from having to post such embarrassing food diaries. Geez, I'm an adult why can't I manage to eat like one? The thing that I am proud of for today is that I did actually make time to go to the gym and swim for 30 minutes. I'll be repeating that tomorrow for a longer period of time. I REALLY enjoyed it.

Diet Observation: Its been weighing really heavy on my mind that my unborn child is also consuming all of this garbage. If she was sitting right next to me in her high chair I can't say that I would be feeding her a Lucky Charms for lunch, followed by a Sonic Blast and Cheese Tots covered in ketchup. I want my baby to eat and enjoy healthy foods. I'm embarrassed to say that as the sole provider of her nutrition, at the moment, I'm failing miserably. I might as well be putting her to bed with soda or sweet tea in her bottle. That also brings up the question, as a mom, how do you help foster a healthy relationship with food for your child?
