Day One

I was so tired this morning when my kids woke up at 6:30am and thought I could start this journey a different day. A day when the kids wake up at 8am and I've got more energy. But lets be honest there is always something that could stop me. Some excuse that pops into my mind and there always has been and always will be as long as I let it. But I'm not going to make excuses anymore.
 



I started today with a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats. This is how I always start the day but it's the rest of the day that needs to change. The snacking, the sweets, and the constant drinking of pop. At 9am I did a one mile walking video. My two year old son did it right along with me but doesn't really understand how to do it. His favorite part was the kicks. The whole time I was trying to make sure I didn't step on my 7 month old daughter and my son ended up getting stepped on three times because he kept going behind me and getting under my feet.

For lunch I had a cup of veggies and an egg sandwich. I'm going to admit I also had two Cheetos. I need to say this because I need to make myself accountable for everything I eat. After lunch I did another one mile from the walking video and half the time my daughter was on my hip. That extra 20lbs really made me feel the burn. By the time I was done it was time to feed my daughter and I was all sweaty and my son wanted to sit on my lap with a blanket. Of course I let him which just made me sweat even more.

Salmon patties and fried potatoes were for dinner. I know fried potatoes are not healthy but I do believe these things are OK in moderation and I stayed within my calories for the day. Tomorrow I plan to spend some time on the treadmill and exercise bike after my husband gets home from work.
