With that thought in my head I have made a commitment to them and to myself that I will be healthy. I will fix us healthy and nutritious meals. I will fix us fresh snacks. I will make being active a part of our normal life not something mommy does because she is trying to lose weight.
I may not be a great or even consistent blogger but I am a consistent reader of other blogs and have become so motivated by all the amazing women I have found on here especially those I have also been following on instagram. I see the meal planning ahead of time, the regular gym appointments and the balance of family, fitness, and finances (i.e. work).
Well I started my planning Monday and was at walmart till 11pm getting us groceries. I bought all new tupperware and a 1/2 gallon jug I now carry with my to make sure I drink my water for the day. So what did a typically day look like for me yesterday:
Meal#1: blueberry power bowl (I got the recipe from muffintopless)
Meal #2: cheesestick and 15 almonds
Meal#3: salad with romaine, cucumbers, 1/6 avocado, and 3 oz turkey
Meal#4: protein bar
Meal#5: turkey sausage with onions and green peppers on corn tortillas with salsa and a dap of light sour cream
I had a meal #6 planned which was a post workout protein shake but since I didn't make it to the gym thanks to a little baby who refused to go to bed. Anyways, as you see totally doable and not only that I wasn't hungry like I was when I was counting calories and most important everything I put in my mouth was because it had nutritional value. I don't want my girls growing up using food as comfort or rewards I want them to learn the value of food that it's there to provide fuel for our bodies and that we have to take care of our bodies to be healthy. Anyways stick around won't you as I navigate my way through getting fit and healthy.
Oh wait one more thing: just because I am not dieting doesn't mean I don't want to see the numbers on the scale and on the back of my pants go down: so hello weigh in wednesday!!
Weight: 162.2
Pants: 8 or 10 depending on the brand
The goal:
Weight: 130
Pants: 2 or 4
