DAY 12
Ahhhhhh back to the gym. It was good to be up early again; I always feel so much more productive when I get up early.
Alright, on to my exercise and eating.
Exercise:
ran for 25 minutes on the treadmill and burned about 300 calories. I lifted weights for twenty minutes. It was a good workout.
I also walked around the mall for about 2 hours with all 3 kids. I had the stroller this time, but I did quite a bit of walking from one end of the mall to the other and felt pretty worn out by the time I was done.
Eating:
turkey bacon
piece of bread with almond butter (great snack before exercising btw; it always fills me up)
cheese
carrots and spinach dip
cheese
almonds
granola bar
3 apple slices
broccoli with cheese
peppers with spinach dip
2 bites of macaroni and cheese (I was surprisingly able to stop myself after 2 bites)
sauteed chicken
orange
cheerios without milk (this has been kind of a nightly treat for me recently)
I tried to eat a little bit more protein today and I think it helped with my energy levels.
Tonight my husband and I watched the documentary Food Inc. It was a very well done film but extremely disturbing. It made me sad to realize that I have been pretty naive about where my food comes from and was content to go to McDonald's or Chick-fil-a or whatever fast food joint I felt like going to without thinking about where the chicken in my chicken nuggets actually came from. The fast food industry has had a major impact on meat processing (negative in my opinion) in regards to growing and slaughtering animals; the methods used by these large meat companies to bring meat to the table is just plain cruel.
I have decided to stay away from fast food--which I had kind of already decided a while ago anyway because of my husband's cholesterol--but now my decision is final. I am also going to stop buying any chicken, eggs, or meat that is not free range. I'm a little slow to get with the times, I know; many people made that decision long ago.
It is absolutely horrible what the big meat companies do to their animals and workers. I hope that as a nation, we will insist on having better food in our supermarkets. I will get off my soap box now, but just want to finish by encouraging everybody to pay attention to the food they are buying and educate themselves on where it comes from. Knowing this information will keep us all healthier.

DAY 11
Sundays are usually my "cheat" days, but I actually did really well on this day.
Eating:
turkey bacon
bread with peanut butter
cheese
apple slices
broccoli with cheese
orange
granola bar
almonds
cheerios without milk
carrots with spinach dip
cherry tomatoes with hummus
I almost broke down and had fruit snacks, but I talked myself out of it. I'm noticing lately that I'm not getting enough protein. I may start adding some tofu along with more nuts to my diet.
Just for fun, I checked my weight on this day and I am officially down to 163. That means I've lost about 4-5 pounds in the last 12 days which I'm pretty pleased with. It is so much easier to keep going when my scale shows measurable progress. Every night I remind myself that my family pictures are coming up soon and I don't have as much time as I would like to get off the 20 pounds that I'm trying to get rid of. It is extremely important that I eat healthy and exercise EVERY DAY and not just when I feel like it. Now that my husband is back from his trip I can get back to my regular exercise routine.

DAY 10
I was again super distracted by the hurricane, but will try my best to remember...
Exercise:
None. What a lazy day!
Eating:
1 egg
3 slices turkey bacon
cheese
4 apple slices
carrots with spinach dip
1 piece of cod (I overcooked it and it was not good)
1 granola bar
broccoli with cheese
1 orange
1 bowl of multigrain cheerios with now milk
My husband was supposed to come home from his trip on this day but his flight was delayed. I was really upset when I found out and discovered that I don't handle bad news very well when I haven't had my exercise; it is essential that I exercise because it really makes me more relaxed and...well...just plain happier!

DAY 9
I have to confess I was a bit distracted by the hurricane and sort of lost track of what I ate; I will try to do my best to remember all the details from day 9.
Exercise:
Going up and down the stairs with my 2 kids all day but no aerobic.
Eating:
cheese
turkey bacon
orange slices
carrots and spinach dip
sauteed chicken
broccoli with cheese
2 granola bars
handful of cereal
piece of bread with peanut butter
???
I need to do this everyday or I forget! Luckily I know that I didn't eat anything bad. Hopefully I will be able to remember day 10 a little bit better!

DAY 8
Not feeling super long winded tonight, so I'll just jump right to it:
Exercise:
25 minutes of jump-roping, stair stepping, and jumping jacks combined. I was lucky to get that in with my almost 2 year-old tugging on me nonstop. It was a difficult work out though and my calves were super sore afterwards.
I can't wait to get back to the gym on Monday morning!
Eating:
turkey bacon
carrots and hummus
fruit snacks (a whopping 12 grams of sugar for just one pouch!!!)
Kashi granola bar (only 5 grams of sugar. Usually granola bars and protein bars have tons of sugar, so I was pleased when I found these at Costco)
handful of multigrain cheerios
small wrapped cheese (1)
cooked veggies
One mistake I made today was that I kind of skipped lunch. This is so dangerous for me because then I tend to binge later which is exactly what happened. I didn't intend to skip the meal, but when my daughter fell asleep in the car, I didn't want to wake her up to go inside and eat. I had some almonds in the car that I snacked on, but it wasn't enough. I caved later and ate the fruit snacks as a result of my intense hunger.
note to self:
KEEP MORE PROTEIN SNACKS IN THE CAR JUST IN CASE!

DAY 7
I've been sticking to my fitness plan for one week now and I have to say that I am proud of myself. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to jump in my car and speed to the nearest 7-eleven for peanut butter M & M's. Eating healthy is becoming easier, but it takes CONSTANT effort to stay on top of it. It also requires A LOT of planning. Luckily, I like to plan, so I find all the planning kind of fun. I've also noticed that when I make the effort to plan anything in great detail--be it food or vacation or home design--I am rewarded.
So onto my health habits for day 7. Here they are:
Exercise:
I didn't get any aerobic exercise in, but I carted my kids around on errands for 6 hours!!! I did it without the help of a stroller, and it was HARD. There I was carting my infant seat around in my left arm while holding my 27 pound toddler in my right arm. It was hard, and I am never going to forget the stroller again, but it was good exercise!
Eating:
turkey bacon
peanut butter toast
carrots and hummus
swiss cheese
almonds
rotisserie chicken
cooked vegetables
cooked corn (this and 2 items above were from Boston Market--a good place for me to go when I'm sick of cooking and want to still keep it healthy. One thing you have to be careful of is that this meal can turn extremely unhealthy if you decide to get any other side besides corn and vegetables. The macaroni and cheese looked super good as well as the potatoes; STAY AWAY from the carbs. The meal comes with a small piece of cornbread which is also unhealthy but very delicious. I gave half to my toddler and let myself have the other half. It was perfect).
raisin bran. We are completely out of milk so I had it without milk. It was a little dry, but kind of a fun snack. Milk also contains a ton of sugar anyway, so it was quite a bit better in terms of sticking to my daily 15 grams of sugar or less.
Yesterday I googled some new healthy recipes. I'm going to give them a try and post some of favorites soon. I'm excited to have some new food around. I can't eat the same thing all the time or I will go crazy.

DAY 6
Today was my weight check. Uggghhhhh. Sometimes my scale and I are just not very good friends.
I've lost a total of.....(drumroll please)
2 measly pounds.
LAME!
My husband was actually really excited for me which was kind of fun. He reminded me that losing more than 2 pounds per week is really REALLY hard. I felt a little better after that conversation.
Exercise:
Spinning again. I probably didn't push myself as much as I could have; I need to not be lazy. The class went by so fast though. It has been fun to get to know other people there and have some social interaction with other adults! The class is a great break for me in many ways and boy do I need it. Some days I think I may go insane from carrying my toddler on my left hip non-stop and listening to her scream in my ear (I think I'm going deaf--just ask my husband :))
Eating:
turkey bacon
carrots and hummus
bread with almond butter
Texas Style ranchero beans
cooked veggies
black bean burger
almonds
bowl of rasin bran
Even though I've only lost 2 pounds, I really feel a lot better and have more energy so I need to remind myself not to get too hung up on weight.

DAY 5
A pretty uneventful day, so I'll make this post brief.
Exercise:
no vigorous. I just walked to the park which is about quarter of a mile up the road. I waited for my husband to get home so I could go to the fitness center, but he had to work late. I need to dig out my jump rope on days like this one!
Eating:
turkey bacon
swiss cheese
tuna salad sandwich
cooked carrots
almonds
ritz crackers
crock pot chicken with golden mushroom soup
cooked veggies
more cookies (those darn things!!!)
It was a pretty good eating day overall. So excited to get back to the gym tomorrow!

DAY 4
Feeling MUCH better today. It's been interesting to reflect on good health while being sick in bed. My sickness was a great reminder that:
1. I shouldn't complain about exercising; I should just be happy that I am able to exercise at all.
2. Good health is essential in my life (and any mother's life for that matter). How in the world would my family function without the meal-maker, butt wiper, and kid-entertainer that I am? I was down for one day and there were many unhappy kid moments and unfinished tasks at the end of that 24 hour period because of my sickness.
Exercise:
I've officially decided to take Sundays off. No exercise today other than walking through IKEA with my family to get some blinds for the house.
Eating:
Turkey bacon (3)
Swiss cheese (2 slices)
Black bean burger
Carrots and hummus
Chicken noodle soup
California Pistachios
Iced Animal Cookies (got them for my toddler and ended up eating way too many!)
Ritz pretzel crackers (cheese flavored)
M & M's (about half a small bag)
So I basically botched the night. It wasn't my best eating day. I recognize that if I don't plan each meal, I will eventually cave when faced with hunger. I hope it will become engrained in my brain that the secret to weight loss and good health habits is more about preparedness than desire or ability. I think I need to repeat that again for myself:
The secret to weight loss and good health habits is more about preparedness than desire or ability.
It is incredibly dangerous for me to go out in the evening ANYWHERE if I haven't had dinner. It is so important to feed myself a healthy meal so that I don't get hungry in the wrong place (like IKEA where the smell of cinnamon rolls envelops me at check out). I even had my desert gum and I still gave into temptation. Discipline can only take a person so far; sooner or later the hungry stomach will dominate!
Tomorrow is a new day. For now, I recognize that I had a bad day and learned some valuable lessons about eating.

DAY 3
Woke up feeling not so good, but could still function. By noon I was shaking all over and felt so awful that I had to call my husband and make him come home from work.
I'm pretty sure I had/have strep. I felt pretty awful until about 10 pm tonight when my fever finally went down.
So much for exercising today! Oh well. My body was pretty sore from my previous workouts anyway, so I probably wouldn't have done all that well in the new gravity class I was going to attend.
Here's what I ate though (I did pretty well considering how sick I was):
3 slices of turkey bacon wrapped in swiss
2 oranges
hummus and carrots (I try to keep my carrots to 1-2 handfuls/day; they have lots of sugar)
vegetable soup (a little high in sodium; I may start making my own with sea salt from now on)
black bean burger with a little ketchup
cherry tomatoes
1 full peanut butter and honey sandwich (this was the worst thing I ate because of the high sugar content that honey has; I really need to watch it)
1 stick of Extra desert gum (this has saved me btw; it really helps with sugar cravings)
I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow!
DAY 2
Before I woke up this morning, I had a terrible dream. I dreamed that I was trying on clothes in front of a mirror next to my closet. Every time I put on a new outfit and went to look at myself in the mirror, I had gotten heavier. Each new outfit added 5 pounds or more. It was awful.
The next thing I knew, my phone alarm was beeping at me to get up and go to the gym. Luckily I was so startled by my nightmare, that I had no problem waking up this morning at 5:30!
PS, it is really hard for me to get up early. I am proud of myself for doing it 2 days in a row! Small triumph!
Now onto the nitty gritty stuff.
My exercise:
I went to a spinning class taught by the same instructor as the class I went to yesterday. I like spinning. I really enjoy listening to the music. I enjoy feeling the burn in my legs. I enjoy pushing myself as hard as I can, but being able to tone it down if I want to. I guess spinning is one of the highest calorie-burning workouts out there if you push yourself hard enough. I thought about that a lot as we were doing our sprinting and out of the saddle stuff. I felt like I got a good workout, but I didn't feel like I was going to die. It was perfect.
My legs are like jello again though! Stairs are brutal.
My eating:
black bean burger with swiss cheese (no bun)
salad with avocado, tomatoes, and cucumbers
hummus and carrots
California pistachios
bread with almond butter
Tilapia with freshly squeezed lemon, olive oil, salt & pepper
bowl of raisin bran (my "treat")
Not feeling so good tonight; I think I might be coming down with something involving a sore throat. I was extra grumpy with my husband and feel bad.
DAY 1
Day 1: OUCH
my exercise today:
My husband and I just purchased memberships to our local community fitness center. I am pretty impressed with the facilities so far, and I like how close it is to where we live. Working out at a nice place kind of softened the blow for what was to come. Exercising for the first time after an 11 month break is pretty awful. There are many reasons for this--not wanting to even get in clothes for the gym being the first one. I felt so fat and so out of shape and so gross!
My first day at the fitness center was yesterday; I attended a class there. My instructor is a very large man by the name of Kevin. I have to admit I had doubts about him as an effective teacher based on his looks alone (aren't aerobics teachers supposed to be in really good shape?).
I soon realized that his class was kicking my butt. He really did give me a good work out full of squats and other torturous moves. I had to modify almost the entire work out.
I did think it was kind of funny that he didn't actually do the workout with us, but then I realized that as long as I was getting a good workout, that was all that really mattered.
My legs were like jello when I got home. Going up and down my 3 level town home was crazy painful. I think I passed out for 20 minutes on my bed while my toddler watched Mickey Mouse clubhouse and my 8 week-old took a nap.
My eating today:
I think it went pretty well. Here's what I had (I tried to eat often in small batches. It has really helped me to do this because then I don't get starving and binge. I'd highly recommend it):
piece of bread with almond butter (almond butter is surprisingly good; I like it better than PB)
black bean burger
3 slices of turkey bacon wrapped in swiss cheese
spring mix salad with tomatoes and cucumbers
bowl of raisin bran (this was kind of my treat--has a lot of carbs)
hummus with carrots
cherry tomatoes
sauteed chicken with lemon pepper seasoning
I kept my sugar right around 15 grams. I felt good at the end of the day. All in all, I am pleased with myself and feel that I am off to a good start.
Yikes
Today my sisters sent some pictures from our recent family trip. I was happily looking at pictures of the kids and then I clicked on a picture of me standing next to my Mother-in-law at my son's baby blessing. It was like some awful nightmare. Surely that person with the gut and chubby face could not be me. I did not even recognize myself.
I could probably go on and on about how awful I feel about myself, but I realize that blogging about how terrible I look isn't going to change anything. So, I've decided to start this blog and post every day about my journey back to fitness. I know it will not be easy. I know it will not be pretty. Most importantly, I know that I need to keep myself accountable each day by keeping a record of what I am doing to improve my health and eventually get in the best shape of my life. I intend to make this blog honest. If I can inspire you or make you laugh along my journey, that is great too. If you feel like commenting, please do so. I'm sure your thoughts and experiences will uplift and inspire me to attain my fitness goals. I will specify what those goals are exactly after I document some facts:
Age: 31
Number of children: 3
Current weight: 168
Weight before pregnancy: 135
Preferred weight: 127
Current date: August 18, 2011
Goal: To lose 41 pounds by December 15th (my husband's 34th birthday).
Plan: 1 hour of vigorous exercise every morning M-F including spinning, Gravity aerobics classes, and resistance training. Eating balanced meals with a higher concentration of protein and fiber. I want to keep a rule of thumb that I consume no more than 15 grams of sugar/day. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and tend to get carried away, so that is going to be very difficult for me.
Each day on this blog, I plan to record what I did for exercise and how I am doing with my eating. Like I mentioned before, it is going to be very honest and I know that sometimes I will feel frustrated or sad with my progress. I hope there will be days where I feel triumph too! At the end of the day though, the purpose of this blog is to keep me accountable. So, today it begins! I'm ready to get started!
