Eating healthier has been EASY. Though I have been using whole milk in my oatmeal because the store was OUT of nonfat. And I did eat a super unhealthy meal Friday night when we took my parents out for Mexican food. But whatever, as long as I don't keep crappy food in the house, I don't eat it. Well actually, there is some crappy food in the house, I still don't eat it though. Exercise has been another thing. I have been more active, I'm in almost a constant state of motion throughout the day, just not calorie burning exercise. Lexi and I took a mile and a half walk one day and worked up a good sweat, but other than that, our plans have been foiled by chores, kids, and life. I work from 6:45 to 10:30 keeping the kids in check and the house in order and then I crash. Getting up early will not work for me. I would love a gym membership to a gym that watches kids free. But, we're broke as far as affording that stuff goes and I'm sure I would hear Lexi's "don't abandon me" screams throughout the whole gym. Well, time to get the boys from my parents, run an errand, come home to do Saturday chores, and then to do their science fair projects- yuck! (Why do we voluntarily do them every year? Cause they learn things? Pfft.)
PS- School starts for me on Tuesday. :(
I'm glad you're finding the eating part easy- sometimes that's the hardest part for people while exercise is easier. Glad you're making progress! Exercise is exercise, even if it's small. Constant motion keeps the metabolism going, so always count the little things too! After any workout session, be it 20 mins or more, as long as your heart rate goes up, you'll continue burning calories throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with school- and glad the science fair projects are over now.
PS- I would totally babysit Lexi if I could! She's so fun. Too bad I'm a bit far.
