Over the past few weeks I've become more dedicated to getting back in shape. Summer is coming and while I've never been a bikini kind of gal, I want to look good, feel good and start rock climbing again!
Now that AngelBaby is a little older and the weather is warming, I feel more comfortable taking her to the gym's day care without fear of her crying or getting sick. Which means now I can add more classes to my regimen, rather than only going to the pilates studio. I also met with a trainer to talk about nutrition and am working at that. I cut my overall calorie intake by a significant amount and am pleased to find that when I eat better foods, I feel full even though I'm eating less. (the kind of thing I've heard all along but couldn't convince my sweet tooth to get on board.) I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables (lots of salads and smoothies), reduced my starch carbs and quit eating junk food. I made it three weeks with no candy or desserts and I was surprised that I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. (I gave in over the weekend for my daughter's birthday party.) I know people who do this regularly and always believed that I couldn't do it--I don't have the discipline and I simply like food too much. But I've enjoyed learning how to eat better and feel motivated. So one step at a time and onto a healthier lifestyle for me and my family.
