Minor Setback

So apparently food and I are having a bit of a problem separating.  It seems I started my workout and diet this week and was quickly reminded that I am a mother of three.  All of the sudden I have had the immense urge to eat whatever I want and it seems kind of uncontrollable.  My plan is to start again next week with a more diligent attitude.  I am thinking that I just got a snapshot of my eating and emotional connection.  I don't want to eat myself huge so I need to work on working out to relieve stress, which just trying to find the time to workout can be stressful.  Anyways,  I enjoyed working out last year and I felt good doing it, especially after I began to see results.  I just need to retrain my thinking again and make sure I find the time to get some sort of exercise in no matter how little.  It happens to everyone, I am not worried.  Keep it up, it only gets easier!

Back in the Saddle!

Well, it has been a year, Baby was born and recovery is completed.  I allowed myself the indulgences of the holidays since I was recovering at that time so my weight is about where I started. And the new beginning number is 225!  The goal is to lose 50 lbs or more in the next year and to successfully keep it off.  I figure 25 gets me down to 200 and another 25 gets me to 175.  That should be a nice comfortable weight to live at.  So after feeding Baby this morning and playing around a bit he gets sleepy and takes a short nap.  Naptime meant Mommy could attempt a workout. I got 25 minutes in before Baby woke up and absolutely needed to be picked up, (he was crying a little at the end of my cool down, sorry love).  Even if  I can only get 15 minutes each time, it will be something, it just means I work out more times a week. I feel good and happy that I was able to get some work started on reshaping my post baby body.  Here's to a new year and a healthier family!  You know what my husband wanted for Christmas?  A gym membership and to go with that he got workout stuff.  I am so proud of him for doing this.  Now we can live healthier for our family!
