What Day is it Again?

Being mama to a 2 year old means being up and awake when he is. Although I'm currently on night shift, I have to switch back to normal hours on my days off in order to keep up with the kiddo. So some days I am left wondering, "What day is it today? What was it I was going to get done today?"
Ok, perhaps not some days. More like most days. Today is definitely one of them- is this day 2? 3? 4?
No matter the number, here is my check in for the cleanse ....
Mind:
Presently, I'm a bit aggravated. Over the course of my marriage I've found that most of my attempts towards healthier habits have been chided by my husband, and if I've stuck to them long enough, they've often been sabotaged. I've finally reached a point where I have stuck with my habits for long enough, and gained enough knowledge to where the sabotage is less likely. Yes, there are always sodas, white breads, cakes, cookies, and assorted sweets in the house (much to my chagrin). However, it is a rare occasion that I will be tempted by these 'foods' anymore as I've found great (healthy!) alternatives, and also have the consequences of par-taking close in mind. The energy slump, the migraines, and overall dulled feelings are just not worth it for a processed sweet.
Alas, my husband is quite offended by my veggie habits. He prides himself on his mastery of cooking assorted meats and probably (I say probably because he will not admit to as much) harbors hurt feelings that I no longer enjoy his culinary endeavors. Therefore, he will not try any of my own veggie creations, and usually will mock them. Were it just the two of us, this would not be such an issue. Yes, I would still worry about his health as I do now - I love him, I want the best for him, I want him around for many years. Greater than this is the 3 foot monkey who wants to be just like Daddy. I have learned so much about the importance of nutrition for growth, immunity, and disease prevention. It's a big deal to me that my son eats well, and I see nutrition as the top way we can influence his current and future health.
So when Dad sits down to a high fat burger on a white bun and nothing else, and monkey sees, there is little consideration for the healthy meal mama presents. I had heated some SunBurgers - to be served on my little mans favorite whole wheat pita for him, and romaine for me - made some carrot-tomato catsup from Kate Wood's Raw Living (two of his favorite veggies), and steamed some broccoli for dipping.
Had it been just me and the little man, he would have tried most of it, and probably just used the broccoli as a vessel to get carroty-tomato goodness into his mouth, then dropped the spears on my plate. Instead, he grabbed a white bun and started eating it before I could even serve his meal, and that's pretty much all he was interested in eating. Monkey see, monkey do.
Thankfully, tonight my husband decided to at least spare the drama where he sits down to a plate of cookies and a glass of cow's milk as he usually does every night, both of which my little man cannot have. The processed cookies are a no-go (says Meanie Mama), especially before bedtime, and he's been off dairy for a while now due to tummy troubles and frequent ear infections. This leads to one unhappy little man when he tries to go and share. I do wonder what happens when I am not home, as I think there is a reason he gets so very upset when Daddy does not share.
Really, I have no idea how to deal with this situation. My husband is a grown man and is responsible for his own nutritional choices. He grew up with a body-builder father who instilled "protein is the most important food" into his head, and was also raised under the medical model that nutrition really isn't that important. I can understand the latter, as that is what I was taught in school. It was only until having my son that I started taking nutrition research seriously, and my eyes have been opened. When it comes to the health of my son, I have a hard time closing my eyes again.
Body:
I've been having green smoothies or juices in the afternoon when I wake for the day, usually followed by some fresh fruit. Yesterday I scored and found a carton of organic cherries at Wal-Mart - so delicious. For lunches at work I stick to a big salad and some sort of dried fruit/nut combo later on. I usually skip having a meal when I get home in the morning from work as I like to go to sleep straight away. On days off I'm enjoying trying raw soups and other creations such as zucchini lasagna or homemade spring rolls.
Today I'm lagging a bit in the exercise department. Rather than stay up and do a video, I'll probably try to get to sleep early so we can hit the gym in the morning. I just downloaded some high energy songs that I'm looking forward to enjoying on the treadmill.
Spirit:
I'm enjoying my quiet times and taking more time for reflection. This is desperately needed, as I've neglected my spiritual life for a while now. Just as I want to model health eating for my son, I want him to grow up with a Mama who is centered and grounded in her faith. I've started to feel a tugging for community recently, and realize this is another area where I have neglected myself. My rotating schedule makes it hard to join groups, but it's something I need to do. All or nothing are not the only two options.
