Eating Clean Week 3

You may have noticed I skipped week 2. I was at the beach with my in-laws this week and let's just say it was a bust.

Happily, I only gained 1 lb on that trip so I'm not too upset about it.

Now that I've been home almost a full week let's recap. I have been eating great since being home. I actually missed eating this way while I was away. My number 1 staple has to be rice cakes. If I am hungry and I want to feel like I am eating alot without ingesting all those calories..this is where I go! I even put almond butter and raspberries on them for a sweet treat. At only 30 calories per "cake" it's a steal! yummy..seriously..try it!

So right before the beach I weighed myself and I was down 2 lbs already since starting this journey. I weighed 125. Now that I've been home for a week I reweighed and I am 126. I know it's not the direction I wanted to go but I am relieved the damage wasn't worse!

I haven't started a real fitness routine yet. I am waiting for my hubby to get home next week so I can join Gold's Gym again. Avelyn has gotten to an age where she likes to play by herself for 30 mins or so. I am going to try to put her in the gym daycare sometime when B is home. I am so scared of this! For the first time, I will probably just do 30 mins and see how she does. I will also probably have B watching her through the glass the entire time.

My decision to rejoin the gym was made by the fact that I need some "me" time. Even if it's just an hour a day. With B gone for weeks at a time, I can get pretty worn down.

When I exercised regularly, I had so much more energy and was able to get so much more done! My moods were also better. I don't want to be selfish though so if Avelyn cries in the nursery, I won't put her in it. My fingers are crossed!! I will let you know how we do!
