Today is another day to succeed

I went over in my caloric intake yesterday by about 500 cal.  I had a snack of trail mix in the middle of the day that I usually don't have.  I also ate more at dinner; challah french toast w/ bacon= yummy!! (no, we aren't Kosher). I caught myself saying, well today is another day to succeed :)

I recognize, that while I went over my calorie intake, I am getting better not only at staying within my caloric range, but choosing a diet that keeps my fats, proteins, and carbohydrates balanced.  I am finding ways to make sure I get fruits and veggies as well as protein without adding fat.  I am becoming very aware of my lack of knowledge around dietary needs.  As an RN, I assume that I know enough, but I realize I know very little. 

I get the general idea about what to watch, what is needed to help build and keep my body going, but to get to the specifics of  how to accomplish this, not even close; and I continue to learn.  I hope that in the end, I will not only come away with a better understanding of my body and how to care for it, but also be able to set an example for the twins.
