Example

I read this blog post over a month ago and it has REALLY stuck with me. 

I have been feeling really bad about the example that I am setting for my children.  If they never see me exercise, where are they going to learn the importance of being active?  If I don't eat right, where will they learn to?  I have got to be a better example and teach them the things that will help them forever, like eating fruits/vegetables and working out. 

I do not want them to think that being overweight is acceptable just because that is what they saw in me.  It has been really weighing on me lately and I realize that this is not just about me anymore but about what I am teaching my children. 

Things have got to change!!!  Fruits and veggies will be a part of more meals and exercise will be happening in our house!

I'm Back!!!

I have been posting on a private blog for me lately and then decided tonight to post here instead.  There are certain things that I have wanted to post that are personal so I created another blog to do so and have completely ignored this blog in the process.  So...here you go for anyone that wants to read it.

Well, I worked out tonight after a two week hiatus. I really need to get into a routine so that my workouts do me so good.

I did Biggest Loser Cardio Max Level One....well I attempted it!

I got through the warm-up, and 10 of the 20 minutes of the workout and then skipped to the cool down. The cool down is all yoga positions which I really enjoy. I really think that I would enjoy yoga! I might have to buy me the BL yoga DVD or Jillian Michaels yoga workout. Maybe it can be my rewards once I reach my next goal.

I have not measured or weighed in two weeks. I am gonna push myself really hard this week and hope for a good number next Wednesday.

I think it is time to journal my food again. Breakfast is seriously an issue and I find that I munch more if I don't eat a good breakfast. So...I am gonna focus really hard this week so that the scale will move DOWN!!!
