At a stand still

Hey everyone! Hope your day is fabulous! Mine is OK. Kids are trying my patience, but we are hanging in there. The weather is nice, but a touch windy. I did get out of the house with the littles and took a walk with my awesome neighbor!

My weight has been at a standstill at 140. I seem to give in to temptation, especially when it comes to sugar. I also struggle making a salad for lunch, and end up eating bread! I LOVE bread! I especially love bread and butter. There is so much comfort in that. When we would eat at my grandma and grandpa's house growing up, grandma would put out a basket of WHITE bread and butter! YUM! I loved eating at my grandma's! We don't buy white bread in my house though.

There are so many things I could do daily to improve my diet and lose the weight! I guess I need to make a stronger commitment! I think I need a buddy! Or, a personal chef, and grocery shopper! I need to pray for some SELF-CONTROL!

I did a CRUNCH video on Exercise TV this morning. It was good. It worked butt and abs. Then, an 8 minute Pilate legs workout. It was a windy day walking today, so I feel I got a decent workout pushing the stroller in the wind.

Well, just checking in! I'll try and check in more often!!!

Have a great day!

10 lb Slimdown

I don't know if you get Exercise TV, but if you do, then this workout is awesome!!! We get uverse and Exercise TV is free on demand. I've been doing the 10 lb slimdown series. Each workout is 20 minutes long and it's circuit training. Yesterday I did upper body and today I did lower body for 20 minutes and core for 20 minutes. Last week I did lower body as well and I could feel that workout for days. The 10 lb slimdown is quick and doesn't require anything but hand weights. If you have Uverse, or if your cable provider has exercise TV you should definitely give it a try!

30 Day Shred

Today I'm going to start Julian Michael's 30 day Shred. One of the biggest reasons I'm starting with this is because it's only 30 minutes long and works all muscle groups. There are 3 levels. I am going to go the route of 10 days for each level. Some people say they see results, other reviewers of the video say they saw nothing. Some say they felt stronger but didn't lose any inches. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with what you eat while you are doing it. Since I'm keeping a food log on the blog as well, I'll be able see how my eating does in conjunction with my workouts. I'm going to walk on nice days too! I have to take the kids with me on my walks, so the weather has to be decent.

Also, I'll be keeping track of my steps, with the goal of 10,000 a day. Burn baby fat, BURN!!!
