A Week Away

It's almost that time, time to see if I met my challenge. As of now I need about 2lbs to go, which I'm sure I can loose by Wednesday of next week. The question is if I can run the 10 min mile :/

I know that last time I wrote about the challenges I was doing. Well like usual I kinda dropped the ball on them. That doesn't mean I stopped working out! I continued to work out from home and attempted to eat as healthy as I could, which seems to have worked so I'm happy :)

Although the scale hasn't always been my friend though this past couple of weeks, I have noticed a difference in my size. I haven't measured myself since the 1st time but my clothes are loose! My husband took us shopping yesterday and I brought home size 7 jeans and small shirts! I can't remember the last time I wore either!

Yessss

So excited! My loves got me a Sportline watch for mother's day. I had been looking at heart rate monitors for a while but never purchased one. Always thought "what for, you don't actually work out." Now it's a different story and I'm so glad I finally have one! Properly keeping track of my heary rate and calories is going to help a ton.

It's A Must!

Quite a few people know that I have been itching to chop my hair completely off, but have been restraining myself from it just to please my hubby. Well not no more!

Hubby has agreed to let me chop it off if I get down to 125 by my birthday! That gives me 5 weeks to loose 5lbs! I have never been so determined to loose 5lbs until now!

But wait...

There are a few conditions :/ I have to run a mile in 10 min, do 17 push ups and 45 sit ups. I should have known that there was going to be a catch lol It's ok though, that just gives me an extra push to get myself in shape! Plus I REALLY want to chop my hair all off!

Pixie cut her I come!

***UPDATE***
Mu husband just changed my conditions! I no longer have to do the sit ups or push ups! The 10 minute run is still a must but I'm totally okay with that :)

A Few Too Many

I've always been self conscious about my body. This year I've decided to change that.

With that being said, I give you my before pictures.

These pictures are from last week. Weighing in at 133.2 and measuring:

34 waist
38 hips
20.5 thighs (both same)
11 arms (both same)
14 calfs (both same)
And I just realized I forgot to measure my chest :/ I better get on that asap!

I don't have a goal for my measurements but I do my weight. I would love to get down to 125 by my birthday, so that gives me about a month.

As of now all my workouts are from home. I walk pushing my son in the stroller about 2 miles every other day; sometimes I even jog a bit. Walking is not enough I know,  that's why I'm also doing 3 30 day challenges: the squat, plank, and crunches.

Hopefully it will all pay off at the end of the 30 days.

It's a new month. Well I might be a day late but I'm here :) A new month means new goals/challenges I have set for myself and May has accumulated a few. Mostly health ones, which is what I'll mostly be posting about. One of them being:

This challenge started today. I have taken before pictures for this, which I will admit I am a bit hesitant to post. That won't stop me though lol but that will be a post all on its own.

My blog is called Mama Le Daily so it wont just be this months goals, I'll be throwing in some of my daily routines as well. I have a few post all ready brewing in my head lol Hopefully everything will go just as planned.

Torn

That's exactly how I'm feeling. There are 3 different eating habits that's in looking at and can't seem to choose. I thought I had found the one when I posted last, but since then I've been doing some more reaserch.

There's the 6 small meals a day, my mom's nutritionists meal plan (which unfortunately I'm not allowed to share, I will say that it consists of three meals a day with LOTS of veggies) and lastly, the paleo plan.

I'm in love with all three, choosing the right one is what I'm having a little bit of a hard time with. I have to keep in mind that I'm doing this not just for me, this is a life style change for the entire family.

6 small meals is hard with my husband. My mom's is hard on my kids because it consists of lots of veggies. Although my kids do eat them, they need more. Now paleo, only thing with that one is that we are huge grain eaters :(

After typing all this out I think I finally figured it out. My mom is going to be a bit disappointed but I'm sure she will understand. It might take my family a little bit to get it fully going, but paleo it is.

All we can do is start slowly.

Stoked

I'm super stoked!

Finally got my 1st real workout in for the year a few days ago, which by the way I'm still sore from LOL Plus, I came across an awesome blog yesterday when looking for clean eating meal ideas before heading to the grocery store.

Meals Fit for a Family has a ton of different meal plans, complete with shopping lists and recipes.  All her meals look super easy and sound delicious! I have the turkey chili pie in the crockpot now and it smells awesome. Her shopping list made it super easy for me to go grocery shopping yesterday. I loved going in there with a list of what I needed and knowing exactly why!

Just in case you were wondering, the menus are based on 6 small meals a day and she also gives you times of when you should be eating each meal. The 1st meal starts at 6am, which does not work with me since I don't get up until 6:45am. Its ok though, I can customize it to my schedule which I totally love!

I'm hoping this great blog find and me being back at the gym gets me to where I want to be.

Here's my breakfast for this morning from the Week 1-2 menu of Meals Fit for a Family. Whites Spinach Feta Omelet didn't just sound delicious, it WAS delicious!
