Well here it goes. I try to work out first thing in the morning, but I usually don't get around to it until around 10ish. This also means that by the time I'm showered, dressed, and have fed the baby again it's time for lunch. It is nice to avoid the calories of breakfast, but I try to make sure I have a snack before to ensure I have a little bit of exercise. For food wise I had a graham cracker before my workout, and a salad with a boiled egg for lunch. For a snack I had a banana and yogurt along with some flat earth chips. (have you guys tried those? The cheddar cheese ones are excellent, just don't count them as your veggies, they are closer to grains, marketing ploys!)
Dinner was a grilled ham and cheese sandwich which I scarfed down on my way to church ball. When I got home I had an orange and a few crackers and cheese. I think I may finish my day with some chocolate milk, but we'll see, I may just crawl into bed as well. Overall not a bad day considering I worked out twice. I guess we'll see when I get on the scale tomorrow. Yes I do weigh myself daily, it helps me to stay motivated and I can see the small losses because my scale goes in increments of .2. I'm hoping it starts warming up so I can go for a run soon, I miss jogging. I'm really slow but hey I'm still out there right ;)

Day one
This has been a good week so far in regards to my diet and working out. I have done 30 mins of TaeBo every morning and some toning afterwards. I am pretty sore today, I'm fine as long as I'm on my feet, or on my bum, but getting between the two is a challenge.
As far as diet goes for the last 2.5 weeks I have been cutting out sweets. I'll let myself have a desert on the weekend, and it has made a difference. I have also made sure to make one of my meals a salad. That is also proving very doable since I really like salads as well. Today I didn't get breakfast, but I did have an early lunch which consisted of a banana, two eggs, and some oj (sounds like breakfast though doesn't it?) A piece of french bread for a snack, salmon salad for dinner with a role and two graham crackers for a snack with some milk before bed. I thought I did pretty well, but now looking at it on the screen I need to watch my grains and get some more fruit.
One of the challenges is when I eat a lot of green veggies it makes Gideon really unhappy with me. He has been gassy and fussy for the last week or so. I think I"m going to try to eat my salad right after a feeding so he doesn't get as much of it in the breast milk.
Well here it is, for everyone to see. Please let me know if you want to keep track with me so I can add you as a user :)
