I know that it's been a while since I weighed in. The last few weeks have been a bit challenging. My twins came home from Arizona last weekend. My folks were in town. 4th of July at my in-laws. Losing my best friend. Long nights with the new baby. It has all added some weight back on. I have not completely fallen off the bandwagon, just tripped momentarily.
I found it easier to eat better when my kids weren't home... There was no junk. I never realized how much crap I buy for my kids. I had always thought that I was providing them a well rounded diet. I don't by cookies, chips, or ice cream. But the PB&J's, Grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, Mac'n'cheese (all alongside veggies and fresh fruit) - it all adds up - especially since I have found it easier to just eat with them instead of making me something a little better.
I think next time I go to the store, I will be purchasing a large amount of chicken breasts, cook them up, and store them in the fridge. That way, I will not have an excuse to eat the same things the kids eat.
I did get on the elliptical trainer today for 12 minutes... My goal was to just go as far as I could since this was my first time exercising in a few years. So my exercise goal is to go 12 minutes a day for the next 5 days. Then I will take a day off and bump it up to 15 minutes. I know that I will not be burning massive amount of calories - but I am more concerned with making exercise a habit instead of focusing on the end result.
