Bad week

this week on the health tip wasnt a good one. So Ive lost 5lbs so far but I think Ive put it all back on this week. I started my new position at the other group home and Im not use to packing lunch/dinner for work so Ive been just dumping all kind of simple in a bag and taking with me to satisfy my hunger, that was Monday. Tues I didnt get a chance to cook because I took the meat out too late so I tried to grab some bread a can of tuna and some other stuff.

I ended up eating 1.5 beef patties and some cream soda for lunch. Not the bed lunch to eat. Ive also realize that Im doing so much that I forget to eat when I initially get hungry and when I do realize that Im hungry its at the point where Im starving and then I start scrambling for something to eat.

Yesterday for example I worked a double from 7-10am. Once I got to the second group home I was in training and doing this and that, would you believe I didnt sit down and eat until about 9 pm, mind you Im suppose to stop eating after 8pm.

I did manage to get 2 good workouts in on Monday and Tues mornings and I felt so hopeful about the week but this wasnt the best week. I have to find a balance between working and exercising and eating right and being a mother and everything else I have to be..

Wish Me Luck!

Slow and steady wins the race

So I started my weight loss journey last Monday. My goal is to lose 20lbs
by May 09 and I've got my 2 friends on the bandwagon as well. I've had a gym membership to Lucille Roberts since last summer and I stopped going once I was about 3 months into my pregnancy. Now that my son is almost 22wks I think its time to get this weight off. I've actually lost the "baby weight" through breastfeefding that instantly took off the 20lbs I put on so now I'm essentially left with the weight I had before I was
pregnant and before I started working out.

My plan is to hit the gym everyday starting with 1 class and and I want to work my way up to doing 2 45 min classes and then 30 mins on the treadmill. I really enjoy the classes that they offer and I really like that gym because its an all women gym, you don't have to worry about a
a cute guy on the treadmill and being conscious of him while your working out. All of the women there are there for the same cause and there are women from every culture there.

Last week was a little rough and I only made it to the gym on Monday and this week I slept in on Monday because I had a busy weekend and needed to recharge. My lilttle sis is home on spring break and she came with me and enjoyed the workout. My starting weight was 186 and I'm at 184 as of yesterday so I'm getting there one pound at a time.
