From 7.30am our day begins properly. The day revolves around bottle and nap times, this makes the day go extremely fast! However its finally allowed us to have a regular routine (and I love my routines!) and get back on track fitting in all of life's little things that got thrown to the way side during the first 3 months of Junior's life.
So today it began, I decided it was time to get back on the healthy eating / regaining some kind of fitness wagon. I weighed myself on the Wii Fit this morning, woah, was I depressed when it told me I was obese!! Now I'm no slim jim but the fact I was back into my own normal clothes after having Junior, I felt pretty good..until told otherwise! Anyway this just spurs me on.
So I've downloaded my calorie counter app, myfitnesspal.com works best for me and have so far managed to have balanced meals, drink plenty of water (only have 2 bourbon creams :P) and go for a 60 minute walk...that involved 2 steep hills while pushing a pram! So far so good...for day 1!
Now I'm not one for rigid "Don't eat this, don't eat that" kind of thing because I love my food too much but I believe in moderation and an 80/20 approach, in the past its been Monday - Friday good, Saturday and Sunday relax.
Aims:
- My first goal is October 28th, 5 weeks from now, to be down a "couple" of pounds, hopefully 5 pounds
- Try a new, healthy recipe a week to broaden my spectrum of cooked dinners..theres only so much steamed fish and veg a girl can eat in one week!
- To do my 60 minute walk at least 5 days a week
- To use Bio Oil every night and see if it actually does work on those wonderful things call stretch marks!
Only 4 aims for now but I don't want to go over board with things. So I will check in here regularly, actually I should add that to my Aims list...to blog at least 4 times a week! I'll work on that one too :)
Fingers crossed for October 28th that I can reach my goal.
Anyone else have any short term goals they are working on?? I'd love to hear :)
