So I'll give you a quick run down on what is going on today. We started the diet- BORING! Usually the hard part about trying to eat right is knowing what you should eat, how much and when. This diet provides all that information to me and being the detail oriented person I am- I love that part. However, I realize the hard part is going to be making sure I have the stuff I am suppose to eat at the times I am supposed to eat. You may not think that hard but think about this- it's 11 am and your taking the kids to swim lessons or some other activity. Your diet tells you that at 12 you must eat. No problem if you have prepared that meal & have it ready with you in the car. But what if you don't and you run late getting back & its not prepared....your late on eating & timing is everything!
So besides figuring that out, the workout today kicked my butt. We started out on these ropes & straps. That plyometetric exercise is KILLER. I hate squats (and it shows) and we did almost everything in squat position today.
Okay, so enough whining- I got myself into this fat and now I have to work myself out!
There are a couple of things I wanted to talk with you about today. I know that it may seem I'm doing all of this to look good. That is partially true. If that is conceited or something- what can I tell you? But there are other far better reasons.
They are:
1.) I want my daughter to see me looking and feeling healthy.
2.) I don't want my daughter going to school and kids saying her mommy is fat. (Kids think a lot of their parents in those early grade school days and hearing that hurts)
3.) I want to set a pattern of behavior that my daughter can follow. One where food is energy and exercise is essential to good health and a well formed physique. I do not want her to yo yo diet, worry & fret about her weight or even see it as an issue. I want her to have healthy habits that make it a none issue.
4.) I want to feel freer when I make love to my husband. I worry to much about the fat here and there and it makes me self conscious.
5.) I want to wear super cute clothes! (I know- but it's TRUE!)

I wanted to tell you as well that I think we as mothers have to get our butts in gear. Even if you are the weight you want to be or you look like you want in clothes, you should ask yourself- are my habits healthy? Do I set a good example for my kids when it comes to food? Do I let my kids eat crappy food because its easier?
I know I haven't set good habits for Ainsley to see in me but I have always tried to make her meals nutritious. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be self righteous. I've made mistakes. But as moms we want our kids to have better than we have and do better than we have. I definitely don't want my girl struggling with the things that tear me down.
So you guys keep reminding me of all the reasons I should keep going even when I think I'd rather have a hamburger.
High Point: I got on the scale today & since Wednesday I lost 6 lbs.
Low Point: Thinking about eating some of the yummy lunch I fixed Ainsley.
As always- I'm keeping it real.
