So. Being at the gym at 5 am is harder than it looks on paper. Well, I assume it’s harder, since I haven’t done it yet!!
Maybe, right now, this just isn’t going to work for me. So, I have a NEW PLAN!
MWF – Gym after dinner, 1 hour
T – workout at home for 30 mins – hour (depending on which DVD I decide to use)
Th – rest day
Sat- Track, early, kids in tow if need be, 1 hour
Sun – ASS KICKING with Jeff, 2 hours plus
I know this seems like a lot, but I am not just trying to lose weight, I am training for the Avon 2Day Walk that I signed up for! So it’s necessary! Apparently!!
Food Plan for today:
Brekfast: Egg, multigrain english muffin, 8 oz lowfat (1%) milk, (just can’t do skim!), grapes
Snack: protein bar
Lunch: grilled chicken wrap, salad…only used a BIT of dressing – did you know that one packet of dressing from Chick-Fil-A is 2.5 servings??????
Snack: nectarine, peanut butter (1 tbsp)
Dinner – Meatloaf patties, broccoli, carrots, potatoes
Snack (if needed after workout) Cottage cheese and grape tomoatoes
WATER WATER WATER
Gym after dinner…I am still struggling with snacking after dinner so I think exercising then will be very helpful – and kill two bird with one stone! 
My husband remarked that I am spending more at Trader Joe’s and less at the Harris Teeter – which I think is a GOOD thing! Trader Joe’s is WAY CHEAPER and has much less processed food, no soda, things with no preservatives and HFCS and all that stuff. I never intended to be an HFCS activist, but it really is bad for you, along with trans-fats and preservatives and processed food – I know, I know, we have been hearing this for years. Somehow, now, suddenly, it matters.
I don’t want my kids to deal with this the way I have to. I want them to be strong and healthy and happy. And the only place they are going to learn how to do that is at home.
Oh, and I haven’t watched Food Network all week. And holing steady at one diet coke in the middle of the day, although not DYING for it, and I have lost 6.2 pounds.
TAKE THAT, WHITE FLOUR!
