Monday, February 20, 2012

Mind Blog # 1 Feb 19 2012

Had way to much pop today and I need to work on cutting it out. for now will cut back on the amount that I am drink and then gradually out all together. Also need to get more activity in as well. The walks are good with the kids but I need more. So that will start soon. Eating is getting there as you can see I have good days and bad days. My goal is to make it less and less bad days by just changing one meal at a time. So far it is working for me. I know that by doing things the way that I am is going to work for me and I won't feel like I am missing out on things. If there is a time that I want to have something not on plan then I will and not feel bad about it, but I also have to learn to not go over board with what ever it is that I decide I am going to have.
     This is why I am doing it the way that I am and making sure that I don't change to much at one time. I get to over whelmed with too much change.

Braving it

  So I have heard people talking about this exercise program called turbo fire. And well I got it to give it a try. I have read the books and I have started eating clean again. Today I ate well under my calorie limit and I drank 72 ounces of water and ate 3 meals and three snacks. I am not putting pressures on my self to do a certain amount of goals each day. I have started with the basics and baby steps. I am working on two main goals this week and they are drink my water everyday and to track my food every day. I find that when I add to much to my plate that is when I tend to fall of the weight loss journey. I am also just eating simple foods and watching my portions. I have the Turbo fire inferno meal plan and I am taking some of their food ideas from it and putting it into my plan. And my plan right now is simple. Three meals and 2 to 3 snacks as needed.
   Drink my water and get my workouts in. I am back tracking on my fitness pal again which is a great tool to have and I should have never stopped using it in the first place. Also I need to blog here more often as well and not stop doing it. I also need to make sure I am eating all my calories and not under my calories allowed for the day this way I am not starving at the end of my day and wanting to eat the hole fridge or cupboard. I am finally getting baby girl onto a schedule and so this means it's time to get both kids on a proper schedule. And to stick to it. This way I can be in bed by 12 midnight and up at a decent time. I plan to do my workout's after the kids have both gone to bed. The baby feeds at 7:30 and then William goes to bed at 8. I had him up stairs before 8 and he was asleep by 8:20 or so, And then the baby fell asleep while I was sitting in the bedroom waiting for William to go to bed.So this means once the living room is cleaned it is workout time. No excuses. This starts on Monday night. Alright that's all for now I am going to post my food intake in another post.
