It has been a week since I decided to give up Fast Food and I would have to say we have been doing really well with it :) I have also been really good at making sure if I have been drinking pop that it has been only diet pop!!! Go me!
I do have to be honest though...I know that Tim and I had said that we were going to start working out with doing P90X and everything but we haven't gotten to that point yet :( The kids and us all have colds and I have been feeling like I was going to literally cough up a lung everyday so we decided that it would just drag us all down even more if we tried to add an exercise routine on top of feeling like crap. Plus, Miss Adalyn got a really bad cold herself too so she hasn't been sleeping the greatest which wears out mommy and daddy too.
I am starting to feel human again though so even if Tim is not feeling up to the P90X then I will just have to do something else myself :) I was thinking about starting the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred again. I have tried it before and really liked it because it wasn't a "long" workout and with having a 3 month old and everthing sometimes all I get is 20-30 minutes of "free" time :) Not that I am complaining at all!
I took adavantage of the wet heavy snow we got yesterday and went out and shoveled some of it that Tim didn't get. It wasn't a lot but it is the fact that I got out there and did it. I am feeling it in my lower back though :(
I also got some great tips from one of my dear college roommates...Angie :) She looks AMAZING :) She also struggled with her weight but looking at her now you would never have thought that! She saw my blog and wrote to me and said that she was willing to help me out by giving me some advice on what she did. I really appreciated that too Ang!
I wish I could get a membership at the gym but I know that is just not financially possible at this moment but maybe some day it will be. There are some great exercises that she did but they will not work to be done in my living room...I actually need weight machines :( She did give me tips though on eating, she followed the "Body For Life" recommendations to help plan her meals and said that she has a "free day" on Sunday so she doesn't feel like she is totally depriving herself of a treat every now and then. I am going to do that also and hubby is on board with me! So Sunday is going to be our free day, the day that we can endulge in our sweet tooth! It will be a nice way to tell ourselves that yes we may want ice cream on Tuesday but it will taste even sweeter come Sunday!
I didn't weigh in on Saturday because I was feeling under the weather so I will weigh in this coming Saturday. I just need to remind myself that it isn't going to happen immediately and that there will be ups and downs. Sometimes you gain in the beginning before your body realizes that you are not starving and it stops holding onto every calorie you put in your body!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
