Yesterday was Sunday but I hit the ground running..well I hit the elliptical running to be exact. Day one of the ab challenge wasn't so bad and my other exercises went well. I don't push myself as hard as I could so I hope to push harder. My eating was okay until I ate popcorn (healthy yes) and I wanted something sweet after (not healthy at all)!
Today I ran a little longer, did a few more arm exercises, and PUSHED through the ab challenge. It's only day two and I'm thinking it will be a miracle if I make it to the end. My breakfast and lunch were yummily healthy and the plans for supper are the same. If only I could stay away from sweets during my munchie times.
I'm not perfect but I'm making progress!
I have decided not to weigh in this month until June 27th, which is the day Josh and I leave for camp. I am going to do my best and leave the rest up to God! I am not defined by the scale or my pants size. While they do measure a certain level of success I feel I need to focus on how I'm feeling and the choices I make day to day. This month will be successful no matter what as long as I stick to my goals of eating healthy and exercising! And I REALLY hope the scale will reflect that come June 27th but either way I will be closer to my healthy mama lifestyle!
I love watching my girls play and love on each other and I pray they are best friends as I am best friends with my sister Jessica!
Most days instead if having awesome crafts and yummy snacks I feel my day is full of washing clothes and picking up toys. I have to stop myself and remember they won't care if the toys are picked up every night but if I read them their favorite book. They don't care if I have to run the washing machine twice because I forgot to put the clothes in, but they want time flying kites outside. Motherhood is such a wonderful balancing act and I hopefully I get better day by day.
