allnavaesboys Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 OK - since i finally have my drive back again.... I have decided log it all! I am a *young* mother of 3 very lively boys. I had them all pretty close together so my body has had a hard time catching up... or should i say, i have had a hard time bringing it back up to speed? My friend and I decided that it was time to stop being irritated about it and get busy. I am only 26 - I want to look and feel it. Keep in mind that right now, i am still breastfeeding - not a ton, but enough to know that it isn't time for a cleanse, you know? Here are my first commitments. 1. Drink a TON of water.... only downfall right now is the toilet time involved.. but who cares? 2. Start my day with water/apple cider vinegar followed by vega w/ a little added hemp protein.3. Stretch once my muscles are warm, then proceed to either to some strength training or run about 3 miles. (Yes, the kids all come with me. They love that they get to stay in their pj's and put on their rain/warm gear. My oldest either stands in the back of the burley - like a chariot, or rides his bike alongside me.) 4. Throughout the day, i continue to drink water w/ a little acv - for digestion.5. Before a meal i prefer to eat 2 raw fruits/veggies/salad - then, some protein, and finish with some whole grains depending on my hunger.6. i graze....water/ produce/protein/whole gains (in that order) (oh, and i add coconut oil to my grains for good fats if i have no avocados.)7. I DON'T calorie count..... I don't really have a standard opinion of it as of now - but while nursing, i believe it isn't wise.8. We don't have a car - so I do bike/walk often.9. At night - I try to do some strength training (once the miniatures are in bed ) - but i can also squeeze some in during the day and get them involved... ** Children make GREAT weights!**10. Take it easy.. I make sure to be reading a book and or just getting tidbits of relaxation time. I don't want to beat myself up or wear myself out. I want my routine to be part of my life - not my "weight loss plan". So - thats it for now.... I am going to *try* to post my meal plans and exercise plans etc... but - it can be busy over here! Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCPinGviini Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That sounds like fun. Are you a single mom or is there someone else taking care of the kids while you're training? Well I wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
