Day 20: 3/9/13

Today we played catch up on housework and hung out as a family. I'm struggling with some serious depression, to be honest. My clothes had gotten looser, now they are tighter again. I'm hoping I just ate something salty or something, but it still sucks. I really need to get moving and exercising. So today, I did. I did 20 min of high intensity Zumba. Not a long time, but super high intensity, and a really good start. It was hard work, hard to follow as a newbie, but also super fun! Not likely to get repetitive for a long time, which is good! Monday I start back to Yoga and do more Zumba, and add more as I'm ready. I need to build some momentum!

Day 19: 3/8/13

Groceries. I love gathering the ingredients for better health, but it's become stressful as its become more expensive. And I'm still not buying the stuff at the quality level I want to. We will get there, but dang is it hard to wrap my head around sometimes.

Day 18: 3/7/13

I really need to start working out. I'm also kinda confused. My favorite jeans that I hadn't been able to wear since early in my pregnancy fit me perfectly just a few days ago and now there's muffin top. I'm not sure what to think about that. Food is still great, and Scott seems to be feeling at least some better in the tummy.

Mama's in a funk

I put myself through this so often. I make a big fancy workout plan and then get overwhelmed by it. I want to do everything to get the fastest results and then either get discouraged or burn out. I'm about to make my March workout calendar for the fourth time. Blargh. I really wish I'd kept moving while I was pregnant.

Day 17: 3/6/13

I slept terribly last night. Lexi is having a bit of a reversion in her sleep, which is hard, and I'm sorta at a loss as to how to deal with it other than try to be consistent at the start of the night. Anyway. Food stuff is still going well. Beef lettuce boats for dinner were fantastic! I'm not sure if maybe I should be eating more at meals or what, but I'm finding myself hungry between meals. Gonna work on figuring that out, even as I start working exercise into my day. The schedule I so painstakingly designed is basically moot till Lexi gets back to normal with sleep. I had plenty of energy today despite the bad sleep and really wanted to work out, but needed another day to rest my back-I think this is a sign the Whole30 is starting to boost my energy.

Day 16: 3/5/13

Food is still amazing every day and fun to make! Scott is still having tummy issues, he thinks from all the veggies. Hope that lets up soon! I started to do my circuit training while watching BL this morning and tweaked something in my back. I'm frustrated to tears. :-( gotta get my mojo back!

Day 15/ 3/4/13

Today was a hard day. Not with food, but with energy and emotions. I started the day determined to get this routine building started. I got up at 7:30, which is 90min later than my target, but considering Lexi had spent the night in our room, it was a win. I started my yoga DVD a bit after eating, around 830. I made it only 10 min before I was just done. Too sore and tired and bleh to keep going. So I spent the rest of the day feeling defeated. :-( I know getting started counts, but I also know I need momentum to keep going, and I'm frustrated that I had the time (Lexi slept till 10) and I still didn't fully make it happen. I've gotta stop beating myself up though, because tomorrow is a new day.
