I'll say it again....I'm not very good at keeping up with this! :)
I'm going to really really try to do better at keeping this up!
I became a stay at home mom right before Thanksgiving 2012 which was the best decision for not only myself but my family. I now watch 3 little girls during the week. It's what I love to do! There is a HUGE problem with it..........I've become a lot less active then when I was a front end supervisor at Wal-Mart. Needless to say it has resulted in me being heavier then when I was 9 months pregnant. It it just too easy to eat junk food all day! Not that I feed the kids junk food. I'm sorry to post these pictures but this is my turning point. I'm DONE looking like this. I am SO tired all the time and I've GOT to change not only for myself but for Randall and Nicholas, too.
I weighed myself yesterday for the first time in a LONG time and I shouldn't have. YUCK!!! I refuse to say just how much yuck there is here but that will change. This won't be a crash diet but a change in eating habits and for now nightly walks (weather permitting.....it's been raining the last 2 days.)
I started actually eating/drinking breakfast yesterday. This week I'm starting pretty slow and have just had a few home-made smoothies and had lots of fresh fruit instead of doughnuts and cookies. Yesterday I had an Avocado Smoothie for breakfast that was actually VERY VERY good. I don't care for Avocados much but I know they are super good for me so I thought I would give this a try. I found the recipe at http://www.bhg.com/recipe/avocado-smoothie/
Today for breakfast I had a Blueberry Swirl Smoothie and I also found at http://www.bhg.com/recipe/blueberry-swirly-smoothies/
These smoothies and others that I will post become my night time snack (we might have a bad habit of eating a bowl of ice cream every night) as I am starting the Slim Fast 3-2-1 diet, well as soon as I get it! I was checking prices and found that http://www.walmart.com/ has a special one month package of just about everything you need. You get to pick our own flavors and everything! Besides my fresh fruits and veggies and dinners I won't have to do much thinking about breakfast, lunch and snacks.
On a much cuter note....
I LOVE THIS KID.......
Ok....Ok...I'll stop! But I can guarantee there WILL be more!!
I missed this post. You GO, Girl. It's not easy, but worth it. Felt so much better when I lost 40 pounds after having Sam.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try avocado in a smoothie, I've heard it's really good.
Sure wish it was as easy to lose weight as it is to gain it!
ReplyDeleteI have gained 25 lbs since being here in Omaha! My diabetes is probably running rampant but I don't want to go to a dr. here. I will go when we get home though. This is not good on my kidneys.
Hopefully this one will post! oxoxo
