Grateful

I am grateful that I have my health. I am grateful my kids have their health. I am grateful that Joe is healthy and working towards getting healthier.

Friday 1/8

Made an awesome dinner of turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes with butter, cream cheese and sour cream, roasted broccoli, peas, gravy, salad and rolls. I could not stop eating though :-) The cheese cake even turned out good. I did not work out since I was so busy cleaning the house and getting ready for the party. I started cooking at 3:00 and we ate 5:30.

Today I had a shake breakfast. For lunch I had leftover meatloaf, broccoli, potatoes and a ciabatta roll. Now I have heartburn. I think I put to much adobo on the broccoli. I did do a great cardio workout at Laura's house though. I have also ordered supplements and shakes through Laura. Expensive but high quality.

Wednesday

Very, very tired today. Woke up and had 1/2 banana, applesauce and a shake (not great but not horrible). For lunch had a green salad with caesar dressing and Amy's ravioli. For dinner the kids are going to have hot dogs and vegetables. I am nervous about my interview today. I obviously struggling being just a stay at home mom. I miss having other things to focus on, I am not happy to clean and organize the house.

YESTERDAY

Need to find a better way to deal with being tired. Alessandra was also very stressful. I think she was hungry but either way it was a little bit of a mess.

Sleep: D (woke up again to Joe's snoring. Cannot tell if he is snoring more or I am sleeping lighter either way it sucks)

Post Christmas vacation

It has been difficult getting back to into the groove. Yesterday I did a very tough workout at Laura's house. I wanted to quit, leave the room and cry all at the same time. It stunk. I had a shake breakfast which kept me full until lunch. For lunch I had Samaso but then I could not stop eating in the afternoon. Good news was after lunch

Sleep: C: (did not stop reading until after 10; which was 1+ hours)

Exercise: A (tough workout at Laura's and ran 1 mile)

Food: B (good breakfast, no snacking after dinner, did not do well during the afternoon)

Personal A: (took care of business)

Social Media: A (only checked Facebook 2x all day)

Sqishy belly

Today Vincent asked me if I had a baby in my tummy because it was so squishy.

week 1

Staying home is difficult. Depression creeps in more often when you don't have more to do then housework and photos. I try to play more with the kids and that is fun but then I feel guilty I am not doing more "work".

I have been working out about 5 days a week anywhere from 30-50 minutes a day. I did a four mile run on Sunday. I am sure that is the only thing keeping me sane right now. I try to eat healthy. In the mornings I can do okay but the rest of the day forget about it. I know what I should do but I am to depressed, lazy, cheap or any other negative adjective to make make healthy food. Part of me feels like I am not worth it and I am the only that will eat it. Joe makes it sounds so easy. Just eat Paleo and we will all feel better except the kids rarely touch it and are only happy with tacos, chicken nuggets, burgers or pancakes.

For sure I feel a lot more bloated with bread and cheese. These are my nemesis.

Blogging for Health

"In general I tell people to add instead of remove. When you add something, something else naturally has to fall away. Plus you’re focusing on an action you CAN do versus trying NOT to do something you’re already in a strong habit of doing." from David Dellanave

I am going to focus on eating good fats, vegetables and fruit at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am going to work out three days a week. I am already enrolled in Laura's bootcamp and I did PiYo today. I am also going to try to drink more tea and more water. Finally I am going to get more sleep...going to bed at nine will make me feel better and be a better mom. http://www.niashanks.com/20-tips-binge-eating/
