Day 2: Getting into the swing of things

Today was much better than yesterday. I kept a food diary for most of the day and when looking back on it I can already see (and already kind of knew) that I snack way too much. I packed a lot of really healthy food today, but it was still a lot. Sometimes I was actually hungry, other times I was just bored. It's important now that I pay close attention to why I'm snacking.  

No exercise for me today. I'm beyond sore from that RIPPED workout yesterday. I have workouts in store for both tomorrow and Friday.

Day 1: Always be ready for a curve ball

Most  people don't start their New Year's resolutions until January 2. I'm assuming it's because they are recovering from the night before and don't want to start something new feeling like crap. I totally understand that. I, on the other hand, wanted to start January 1 because I knew I would not be doing anything the night before. Well, the kiddos did not have a good night, which resulted in me not being conscious of what I was eating. Poor Elisabeth had to be taken to urgent care because she had a horrible cough and could hardly breathe. The diagnosis was croup and a double ear infection. While my eating wasn't really on track I did go to an exercise class called "Ripped", which kicked my butt, and I went to the grocery store to stock up on good food for the rest of the week. At least I accomplished two good things!!!! Tomorrow is a new day and I'll be back at work where I can keep better tabs on my eating.  I'm taking this a day at a time. That's all I can do and some days will certainly be better than others.  Until tomorrow!

Countdown to Day #1

In two days I will begin my journey to get back into shape after having triplets this past June.  It's not going to be easy, but I will succeed. I know it's cliched to start this on January 1, but the last time I set a goal to lose weight and get into shape I made it a New Year's resolution and stuck to it for several years, until I got pregnant with my bambinos. I am once again making it my New Year's resolution.  Documenting this journey via blog will make me hold myself accountable.  So here is to a new beginning and a new me in 2013. My goal is to be able to wear a two piece swimsuit again Memorial Day weekend.  Let the journey begin!!!
