Rough Start
Ok - so I set this weeks goals - drink at least 10 glasses of water, cup of green tea and an hour of cardio…. As the title states… I’ve been luck if I get 8 glasses of water, no green tea and yesterday was too tired to go for my second 1/2 hour of cardio. I’ve been lousy at what I’ve put in my mouth as well. Monday wasn’t too bad, yesterday I was stress eating by dinner. Wound up having what the family was having ww penne with meatballs… then 3 oreo cookies! My plan was to have grilled chicken over lettuce. I also was eating whatever the kids didn’t eat. Granted it wasn’t hohos or anything, leftover apple and a banana, but still. I was eating every hour or so. So much for the 2 to 3 hours.
So today is a new day. Couldn’t go to the gym early am since my middle boy woke up at 4:30 after the fire hall across the street alarm went off for a good 5 minutes then the babe woke up at 5 and didn’t go back to sleep. I couldn’t just leave her… the hubby went to bed late so I gave him until 6 then kicked him out of bed to get her a bottle. Of course it didn’t help that I drank coffee last night and stayed up to watch law and order SVU. I’m considering a nap as I write this.
Oh, back to the workout. I’m on Julie’s plan (what her trainer gave her to do). I worked Chest, Bi’s and abs. It was a good workout. Definitely broke out in a sweat (which is hard for me to do, just ask Juls) Then after did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I feel great right now. I’ll have to go tonight and do another 30 minutes worth of cardio or maybe go for a run around the neighborhood. Will see what time and family permit.
Have some work piling up around me that I need to get to, not to mention about 5 loads of laundry that I have once again ignored.
Hope you all have a great day.
PS - I came across urbanmommy’s figure competition blog (figurecompetition.blogspot.com/) which I found very interesting. She’s looks amazing. She’s had a great transformation in a year. She will be competing in her first in June. You go girl. Looking awesome!

I hear you loud and clear! I have had a similar time with the stress eating of course! And the water- I swear I pee all day from drinking all that water. I’ve been packing around a liter bottle everywhere I go trying to get them all in. Keep pushin’, mama! You look great!
