I am having trouble actually running. I want to get up uber early and hit the streets before others are up moving....and seeing my fat ass running. My problem is I am really more of a night owl type. My husband doesn't get home until 11:30 p.m. so doing it then would be way too late. Thus early mornings are really my only option. I don't think I mentioned it yet, but I have four kiddos ages 18 months-7 years....and I home school....so that makes scheduling the exercise difficult.
Any suggestions for making the workout fit into a crazy schedule?
Today I hit the rebounder straight away. Up, poop, drink of water and I was jumping away. I love it! I won't go on and on about how it was killing the sides of my feet because the pain was minimal compared to the emotional release from jumping like a little kid on a toy. It's truly amazing what getting the body moving can do for the soul. It's no wonder that when I laze around I feel such a heavy emotional load as well as the physical weight.
On the food side I am still having a hard time limiting my portions. I know this is key for progress in my weight loss and health goals, and yet when the meal was super tasty I have a super hard time turning away from the second helping.
What do you do to keep your portions controlled?
Well I'm off to the market. Restocking the kitchen with all healthy food choices and finally ridding the house of Halloween candy. Crossing my fingers for a better food week:)
Good luck on the better food week! For me, I have to start with low carbs. It's the only way I break that habit of eating more and more...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm in for this week.
4 kids and homeschooling?! I bow down before you.
I only have one 3 year old, but I do remind myself on days I can't get a proper workout in that if I just play as hard as she's playing, I'll burn a lot of calories.
