I have been working out at least 3 days a week (usually 4), so there is a start. I started going to the gym because I quit working out at home because my husband was home during my work out times. He's not here right now, so I think I will do the at home workouts until he comes back. It's very easy to workout when I take my youngest to school. I drop her off and then go to the gym (well, home today). I tell you what though, it's SO much different doing Turbo Jam than it is doing the elliptical. My muscles hurt a bit right now, and I only did 30 minutes! No, I didn't burn as many calories as the elliptical, but I sure did use more muscles!!
Another reason why I am only getting in 3 this week is because my grandmother is very ill and in critical condition, Monday night and Tuesday there was a possibility that I was going to go home to be with her. She is making progress and getting better, still in critical condition but I'm taking it one day at a time and deciding by the information that I get.
So...back to "getting healthy"...I am doing "ok" at the working out (I could workout more, which I will!)...the eating on the other hand. OMG. Sucking majorly at that one! It's HALLOWEEN time...and guess what is out there. CANDY!!! So, I've been pigging out on caramels and tootsie rolls :( I'm going to do my best to not eat too much...and really do my best to not eat the kids candy! Oye!
So...My tip for the day....Think about what you eat (I really need to do this...so we can do it together!). If you are going to feel guilty after eating something, and you know this before you shove it in your mouth...PUT IT DOWN!! This is my goal for the rest of the week....Saying no to the stuff I know I don't need to eat. Which it is fitting because it's "Red Ribbon" week at my kids schools...Just say NO!
:) Happy sweating (whenever you work out).
OHHHHH!!! Reminds me of a Shakeology recipe!! Going to have to make it tomorrow and post it :) Super yummy for the fall season! :)
