Day 0

For the past 4 years since I had my first son I have struggled with getting in shape. Firstly, I am exhausted ALL the time, secondly, when I do get time to myself the last thing I want to do is spend it working my butt off making myself MORE tired. But alas, I have reached a point where my children can outrun me. Tis sad, but true.

So long story short, I have decided to enter my progress in a blog. Every day I will enter how I did with exercising, eating, drinking my water, and also the level of exhaustion. And at the end of every week, this time it would be Sunday June 22, 2014 I will "weigh in" and re-evaluate the exercise routine for the following week.

My plan for Week 1 June 16-22:

Monday: AB RIPPER X (no I'm not advertising for them, it is just seriously by far the best ab workout I have ever tried).
3 KM JOG/WALK
4 L H20
1800 CALORIES

Tuesday: 3 KM JOG/WALK

Thursday: 3 KM JOG/WALK

Friday: AB RIPPER X

Saturday: 4 L H20

Sunday: 4 L H20

As of now, my plan is to do the AB RIPPER as soon as my baby has a nap. I will do the run/walk in the afternoon around 2 PM. JOGGING if my husband is home to watch the kids, and walking if I need to take them with me. For the eating, I can't completely give up carbs, I just go crazy grumpy. BUT I will try to not snack on them. For example, instead of having crackers as a snack, I will have an apple. I will not eat after 7 pm, and I will be allowed something sweet everyday. 3 pc. of my favorite choc. bar for example. Also, I will try to get 8 hrs of sleep. Bed by 10 up at 6 (hopefully my kids let me sleep that long!)

I know this all sounds ridiculous and as I am writing I am finding myself feeling a little silly. But hey, I need someway of tracking myself. And, I just watched Julie and Julia and her blog made her go crazy, but it also helped her accomplish her goal. So here I go! I will upload pictures tomorrow.
