Anyway, welcome back!
This past week, on Wednesday to be exact, I only got to the gym once. I did a fast round of cardio though, and was pretty pleased with myself since I went home all sweaty and gross!
1 mile treadmill
4 miles bike
1 mile treadmill
6 miles
SIX!
And in only about 25minutes, so I was going at a pretty good clip! I think i got to about 80rpm on the bike? I felt like jello when I was done! While it's hard to find time to go to the gym after a long day, when i get there I just feel....free. Like...Supermom!
I want to talk today about snacking - something that I feel needs me to approach it headon, especially with the holidays around the corner.
To the point, I'm busy. I eat what's left on Owen's plate far too often (which usually isn't alot! Have you seen my kid!?) and I snack...all day...and on whatever's in the kitchen. Bananas are a constant go to (good) but so are gingerbread cookies (bad) and buttercream frosting (bad-er!)
How do you snack healthy? Do you choose things that will help boost your metabolism? I found this on Mrs07c's Pinterest board and thought I'd share it!
I mean...how east would it be to make a soymilk smoothie with apples and cinnamon? Or maybe just snack on some broccoli? A breakfast of grapefruit, almonds and a green tea? It's such a no brainer...but why aren't I doing it?
Habit. Pure and simple...habit. I need to change it and step one is getting some of the items from the list above to make it easier for me to change it here at home. It's been difficult, since we never know when we'll have a showing, so we can't really cook and dirty up the whole kitchen but it needs to change and FAST.
Then I figure once the habit is there, it'll be easier to avoid temptation while we're gone for 3 weeks on vacation.
