17 July 2017

Well no surprise I got off track again. My beloved grandpa passed away last week and our family came from all over to celebrate his life and mourn his passing. Both boys also ended up with some health issues so we were in and out of the Dr.'s and ER (nothing serious) so we got pretty far of our daily routine. I've just decided to try and stick to a smoothie/liquid regime for this week due to not having shopped and all my kitchen appliances being packed. (still no closing date on the house!!!!! AHHHH) I have frozen veg and a few lean cuisines if I feel the need to chew something. Hoping this gets me back on track and ready to address a real diet change in a few weeks once we are finally settled into the new house. I've already had some trail mix since I found we have very few takeaway containers at home with the packing so I was only able to make 2 smoothies for my 10 hr day and that will not be nearly enough to tide me over.

Oh I have really just been pigging out, I should have just been more moderate but alas homemade ice cream and cake lured me in! I feel like crud and it's not any easier NOT dieting since I have to think about every single meal and figure out what to eat and then prepare it etc. My conclusion is I may as well just get back to it and meal prep or at least stick to some form of diet even if it's far from perfect while we tackle this transition to the new house. I would really like to go to a gym and get help with weight lifting since I know I enjoy that and my body would really respond if I started beefing up my muscles; I just don't know when I will find the time. I wish I hadn't taken my single years or my pre-mom years for granted and used my free time better! I am pretty intimidated to go to a gym and ask for help with the weight machines but I am more concerned about when I will have time to do this with my kids. ok I've just talked myself into a home workout it seems- I am sure youtube has some videos on weight lifting or better yet weight free moves to build muscle! I will aim for 3 days a week to start and build from there. I also plan on doing some intensive gardening before fall at the new house so I will try and do that early early so the kids will still be asleep. Wish me luck! :)

so I didn't go shopping or meal prep at all while my husband was home this weekend, instead we packed. I'm trying to organize a move for our family of 5 while my husband is on the road and a moving company isn't in the budget ... enter mighty mom! (mighty tired, mighty busy and mighty hungry!) I am giving myself a pass on dieting until we settle in the new house in a couple of weeks but I already feel the guilt creep in as I see the scale 'swelling' OH Well! I know I'll get back to my diet but I can't focus on all the moving parts of our life right now and be successful so I'd rather not beat myself up too much by 'failing' at dieting too. That being said I think my Mom Muscle's are getting a workout since h is teething hardcore and won't sleep in his crib for me no matter how long I sway or dance with him in the evenings, plus all the boxes I'm packing and moving must count for something right?

27 June 2017

So yesterday was my first day- I had a good food day but was super tired and hungry. I am hungrier today but in a different way. I am also extremely tired since little h was awake most of the night after sleeping all day. It seems both H and h are going to really challenge me this time around! Daddy being away is nice since I don't have to cook for or figure out meals with him. I was hoping for a BIG week to really get motivated and I have lost 2lbs since yesterday so I should be happy with that. I am mostly disappointed that I have gained all this weight back, but considering the spring I have had I suppose I understand it. My next appointment with Dr. E is 9/8/17 so I am hoping to lose at LEAST 20lbs by then so she won't go wacky and adjust my meds to much. I am afraid that h is almost done nursing and it's almost impossible to pump at work since our offices moved so I worry that will make it harder for me to lose the weight transitioning away from breastfeeding. I am looking forward to more energy and leaving behind this constant mental fog I am feeling. I also hope my joint pains start to diminish since I have been noticing them when I eat certain foods. I know once I am really able to get vigorous exercise in I will sleep better as well... now if only h will start sleeping through the night that would be lovely as well.
