I am not doing well. I am not going to the gym but I am eating lots of fruits and vegetables. I haven't been doing so well on the portion control or snacking. I have lots of fresh veggies in my fridge and I will try even harder to leave fattening stuff alone. I am ready for the boys to go to school so I can focus more on my plan and less on the stress of having both of them at home. Even though I have free childcare at the rec center where I work out it still hardly seems worth the work it takes out of the house and in the car across the parking lot sign in and drop the boys off for an hour and a half. A couple of times I gave up because we were running late and I would have missed the first part of my class I was trying attend. When I get there I am exhausted, frustrated and stressed. When Logan was in school last year it was easy to get just Brody out and to my Body Pump class in time but they get each other all worked up into a frenzy and it just seems better and easier to take them swimming and other fun outings. I am all set to start working out when they are both in school when I just have to get myself there and I can stay as long as I want. In the eight years I have been a member of the Paul Derda Recreation center I have almost always been lugging two kids in and out. I can finally be one of the gym rats that are always working out carefree not worrying about picking up kids. I will have no excuses left then.
I have been been avoiding writing in my blog. I have so much I want to write that I am having trouble sorting out my thoughts. I don't want to write to much because I am afraid nobody will read it. I am going to make an effort to write more often and make them short enough to be read quickly. I do feel embarrassed that I have not been exercising and I really haven't lost any weight. But I have been so happy. I am excited at the prospect of having a goal and just thinking of all the things I want to do. I really enjoy reading and getting information about diet and exercise. I like knowing about foods that will help my children in school and foods that contain harmful ingredients. My son has ADHD and I like to know ways I can change his diet for the better. I am anxious to know if it will help him concentrate in school better.
Here are some websites I have found interesting:

http://www.cspinet.org/reports/chemcuisine.htm
http://www.ehow.com/how_4519673_eat-like-diabetic-youre-dieting.html
http://www.foodmatters.tv/ This is a site for a documentary that I absolutely love. I think everyone should see it. I wanted my dad to watch it because he has a history of high blood pressure and is going through Chemo therapy right now. He really liked it and is using some of the information to change the way he eats.

Tell me about it!!!! It is nearly impossible to load up my 3 kids in the car, drag them into the gym, work out, and drag them out. oh yeah and let's add after working for an entire day. I am not joking it is so hard!!!! If another person tells me that is what i have to do to lose weight I might punch them hahaha (especially if they don't have kids and give that advice). I am in the same boat as you. Losing weight comsumes me these days. I have packed on an extra 8-10 lbs with each child and in is soooo hard to lose. I read and read how you are suppose to eat 1200-1500 calories a day that is NOTHING!!!! It was easier when i was home all summer, but now with school starting and being so busy i am about to give up again.
