Fat Mommy to Fit Mommy

Whew, the week is over. Workout-wise - a huge success. I got 5 workouts in - 1 with the trainer, 2 cardio workouts, 1 weight training, and a lovely walk.

Eating-wise - not entirely great, but we're on the right track. Today I followed my meal-plan. It was pretty challenging, as Ian and I were out running errands getting ready for our trip. I had to remember to pack my snacks, and we had to take a detour home to eat lunch, which was a pain. I also had to make my meals separate from what the rest of the family was eating. This won't happy that often, but there is just no way my kids will eat that much chicken!

Anyway, I'm happy that I was able to follow it, but I'm slightly worried, as everything is always easier when Ian is home - and after tomorrow, he is back at work for a tour. Hopefully, if I plan ahead enough, I'll make it work.

Of course, with all this focus on eating/working out, I've been neglecting my math book. The new laptop hasn't helped - I'm still in awe of it and want to spend lots of time with it! Well, I plan on taking my math on vacation with me, and hopefully I'll at least get through the 7th grade.

Why am I talking about this on a fitness blog? Because that's part of the challenge - don't you think? Finding a way to fit everything into your life.

Along those lines - I'm pretty scared for September. Busy doesn't even begin to describe how things are going to be then. Well, I just have to keep myself a priority - even if I have to get up at 6am to work out, or do it at 10 at night.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm hoping to incorporate some of them into my meal plan soon!

PS - Heidi - come over soon and you can do a workout with me. It'll probably be easy for you but you can adjust the difficulty with extra reps and/or higher weights.
