328 days to go!

Oh man, the life of a mother with 3 is daunting some days!  We left our home at 9 AM and didn't get home until 1:30 PM.  That doesn't sound like much but add to it, a pricked finger for a little girl, 2 super poopy diapers, a forgotten bottle, a screaming child, children who like to touch everything in every store, then hungry children . . . oh boy! 

Last night when I was going to bed I told myself if I didn't wake up early, I wasn't getting a workout in today because I knew I would be SO busy, and busy I was.  I had school clothes shopping to do for Cayten who starts kindergarten in just over a week, I had a bit of grocery shopping to do, then make treats for our ward bbq, it all made for a really long day.

I didn't get a workout in in the morning so at 9:00 PM I turned on the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. At 9:01, I wanted to turn it off.  I stopped doing the jumping jacks and made some lame excuse that my shoulder was hurting too bad (it really was, I have hurt it somehow).  Cris was sitting on the couch and told me that I could quit half-way through if it was still hurting pretty bad.  I thought to myself, I can probably make it half-way.  When I reached the 2nd circuit at the cardio, I knew I would finish.  That is definitely one thing I LOVE about the 30-day shred, once you kind of get bored of one thing, you move on to the next, and after you have done it enough, you know the end is in sight and you can do just a bit more to make it!

I think I failed on the eating realm today.  At our ward bbq (ward members, please don't judge and think oh my gosh, how could she eat all that) I had 2 hamburgers, some chips, half a hot dog, a bite of a cookie, and 3 small no bake cookies . . . yeah, not so good at all!  I was proud of myself for drinking a lot of water though which led to a lot less snacking on those yummy no bake cookies!

  1. Callie, looks like you are doing great! One tip I have for you...try eating more in the morning. It will help curb your appetite in the evening. I only offer this advice because I really struggle with it. I've really noticed that if I eat a bigger breakfast (500ish calories) then I'll eat a lighter lunch, a lighter dinner, and have the urge to snack less after dinner. Keep up the good work!
