Day 4 of 23

There are only 23 workout days in the 6 week program I am following. I'm kicking it's butt! Go me! Day 4 was supposed to happen tomorrow but I had free babysitting tonight so I said "it's almost tomorrow" and decided to workout. Can I just say I kicked the gyms butt? Usually it's the other way around...I'm sure I'll feel it in my butt tomorrow! LOL Okay, enough about butts :)

I'm getting more and more motivated as each day progresses. I need to be eating better. I'm meeting my calories just not in the healthiest of ways. I've been reading a lot about green smoothies. Next time I go grocery shopping I will be buying ingredients to make some. Also, I have this cookbook called Deceptively Delicious. It's written by Jerry Seinfeld's wife. It talks about disguising healthy foods into foods kids like. Well, I'm a picky eater so I'll be trying those too!

It's Friday...you know what that means!

So, it's Friday morning. Official weigh in time. My weight has gone down :) I'm very excited. I didn't eat very healthy but I did still consume the amount of calories I wanted. I debating if I'm going to give myself a cheat day today like I normally do or if I say that it's a not going to happen.

The results of this week's loss is: 3.2 pounds!!!!

I'm so excited :) It's off to breakfast (probably an egg mug: full of protein and super yummy! Thanks Hungry Girl!) then the gym to go do workout day 3 of the 5k program.

Have a great day ya'll!

Food

As most of you know, I sit here and constantly say that I need to start getting in shape and eating better. I do well for about a day then bam, I stop doing well. I know, it's all about will power but damn! It's hard work. I don't keep crap food in my house. I figure that if it's not here I won't eat it. Wrong.

I'm very good at making a quick trip to McDonalds, Taco Bell or any other place that serves wonderful, nutritious food like that LOL I'm on a tight budget. I have to stop eating out. It eats up all free money I have and in the end leaves me struggling at the end of the month. I don't have a problem with soda, thankfully.

The only other problem I have is I'm such a picky eater. I try new foods all the time. I'm not a huge fan of veggies (I try them all the time, but the taste is just awful). The only veggies I do like are lettuce, carrotts and potatoes. I know, pathetic. I love fruit, I could live on fruit alone.

I'm trying to teach my son good eating habits but he has a hard time trying new things. He has an aversion to weird textures. Any suggestions on getting him to try and like new foods?
