Day 2

Day 2 for my attempt at eating better. I more than likely will not do a blog post every day, but you never know!

I ate breakfast this morning. I normally don't as I really dislike eating early and it doesn't make me feel very good. Along with eating better/less, I'm also not eating after a certain time at night. I'm pretty sure it's because I did not do my usual late night snacking, I was pretty hungry when I woke up.

I packed a good lunch for work and did not bring a Pepsi! I usually do but am drinking water instead. I got home and The Boy stressed me out so I had a Pepsi and some chips but, I did get my litre of water in!

So for my second day, I didn't do too great but I didn't do awful either! After inputting my food into My Fitness Pal, I definitely need to work on my portion sizes. Now it's time to floss and brush my teeth so I'm not tempted to eat!

Day 1

I'm turning 40 in December and while I was perfectly happy with myself in the past, the past year has been rough on me, emotionally. I've always been chubby growing up but I never appreciated my younger body as much as I should have. Looking back at pictures of my 18 year old self, I kick myself for letting my weight get out of hand during my first pregnancy. I really embraced the eating for 2 myth! While my husband (Erik) has also been as chubby as I am, I took comfort in that fact and stayed the way I was. My second pregnancy really gave me a belly since my son decided to lay sideways and stretch that skin out. Erik has been going to the gym at least 5-6 days a week and has made such tremendous strides in bulking up and losing weight, that while so proud of him, brought forth a lot of insecurity inside myself. I've really been disliking myself and emotionally eating, also a lot of boredom eating. Last June, I made a huge personal decision to quit my home based dayhome ...

Something is happening!

It's been 11 days since I've decided to change how I eat. In some ways, it's been easier than I thought, and in others, a lot harder. I haven't bought a scale yet, but I do plan to do so soon. Here's an update to the goals I set for myself: 1- I'm drinking way more water than I ever used to. I make it a point to at least finish one water bottle while at work, and I normally drink 2 bottles of flavoured tea at home. I seriously love the stuff. I pee a lot though, and it's a pain in the butt, lol. 2- I've definitely made an improvement in all my snacking. More fruit/cheese and less chips/cookies. I don't deny myself the chips or cookies, but I really decreased the amount I eat and how often I eat them. I don't need them every single day. 3- Meal moderation has been working out well. It's been pointed out to me from a registered dietician who is trying to teach people to stop dieting and stop denying ourselves "bad" food that forci...

I'm so tired!

A few days ago, Erik and I took the kids and Ian's best friend out for Ian's birthday. We went laser tagging and played 3 games and holy hell, it was fun! It was also a great workout since Erik and I broke the rules and ran everywhere . I was sweaty and my legs had the good burning feeling, so I decided to start up a home exercise routine Erik made for me. 5 squats, 5 jumping jacks, 5 knee pushups , and 5 sit ups for 5-10 reps. I made it to 5 reps. And I felt okay. My legs were sore but nothing too crazy, until the next day. Well, even my elbows hurt the next day! I could barely walk and stairs were a torture device. 2 days of incredible soreness where my legs were trembling just laying in bed. Pretty sure I overdid it on the legs, lol. Today they finally feel better, though the long hours at work hasn't been helping. Tomorrow, I start up the home exercises again, and without the intense laser tag games, I expect it to be less painful. Why can't exercise be fun? I...
