Didn't get a workout in today. But I'm still figuring out the logistics of working out with two kids. For now i'm happy with 3 workouts a week, which means i have to get one in either Friday or Saturday....somehow.

B - toast, yogurt, hot chocolate
L - French bread pizza
S - apple, orange, grape, yogurt, carrot, celery, ranch
D - BBQ chicken, baked sweet potato

Noah really wanted ice cream for some reason, so we went to arctic circle. I confess that i got a chocolate oreo shake, and ate the whole thing. I didn't eat ANY chocolate for 7 months, so I'm going to binge on it a little bit. so sue me.

Last night was really rough on me mentally/emotionally, so I'm having a rough time with getting things done today that aren't 'essential'. Yes I know that working out needs to be as essential as brushing my teeth is, but it's just not today. I have been up and moving a lot today though. The boys and I had to run to the store this morning, and then we went to the aquarium. Personally I think that carrying K while keeping track of Noah should count as a workout, but I know that it technically doesn't.

B - Egg McMuffin, Orange Juice, Hashbrowns
L - Protein shake, toast
S - something healthy, I promise
D - French bread pizza

If I somehow manage to get the house as clean as I need it to be for tomorrow's play date, I'll get a workout in tonight some time. If I'm still standing.

My ankles are a little sore from yesterday. Next time I do that much hula hoop I need to wear shoes. I think I'm going to look into getting a step and doing some serious step aerobics for a while. I did step classes in highschool and LOVED them. And I know that I can get workouts off of netflix. It's just a matter of finding one that I like, that is on the instant queue.

I did wii fit again this morning, this time focusing on lower body strength training. I did rowing squats, side leg lifts, and lunges, plus the yoga positions that are associated with them. It's not a GREAT workout, but it's at least something to get me back into the routine of working out. I think I'm going to change the time of day that I'm doing it though. I've been working out during K's morning nap, but if I do that, I feel like I'm taking time away from playing with Noah. The solution will likely be to workout during Noah's nap. That means I won't be taking a shower until like 3 or 4 pm, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to be a problem for me.

B - 2 eggs, toast
L - Mac n cheese (I have a toddler, it's going to happen a lot)
D - Chicken and baked sweet potato

Like everyone else in the world, the holiday season threw me off of my eating/workout ideals. I tried hard to eat healthy, but it just didn't happen. On top of that K's stomach decided to behave itself FINALLY so I've been able to eat corn, chocolate, cabbage, onion and all of the other things i've been restricted from for the last 7 months. And on top of all of that, Z and both little boys have been sick for 2 weeks. Excuses I know, but pretty darn good ones if you ask me!

B - Toast, protein shake, yogurt
L - Tuna salad sandwich, chips
D - Chicken enchilladas, refried beans, green salad
D - Lemon bars

I've had the wii fit for a couple of years now and never really done much with it, because it never felt like that great of a workout. I'm in bad enough shape right now though that I think it will help me in the beginning phase of all of this. Plus it's kind of fun, Noah likes watching me run around the island, and it's a good way of tracking weight loss. So I did a bunch of running, hula hoop, and some step aerobics.
