Working On My Fitness

For breakfast this morning I had a cup of coffee with cream and 5 Cadbury mini eggs.  I have a carton of real eggs in the refrigerator that I could have used to make a healthy breakfast, but those eggs are just for making brownies and cookies.  This is getting out of hand. 
I'm not going to get on the scale until I finish breastfeeding my baby.  I refuse.  I give myself until next May to be back to my prepregnancy weight.  But right now, right this minute, I really need to start making some healthy decisions.  The milk I give my baby lately has zero nutrients in it besides my prenatal vitamins.  It contains zero vegetables, and when it does, they have been simmering in a crockpot for 8 hours.  Today I resolve to eat more protein and fresh veggies every day.  I resolve to stop considering a walk around the mall with a stroller as exercise.  And I resolve to stop ordering from menus by saying "I'll take whatever you have with the most calories possible, please, and supersize it, thanks".   
Today my big plan was to go to Macys and pay my credit card and return a shirt.  Now I'm going to become more ambitios.  Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, here I come!!  And then I'm going to Publix to get veggies and I'm NOT going to put them in a crockpot.  I will eat them fresh and ready, even if it means dousing them in fattening dips and sauces.  Baby steps.  Today I will begin relearn my former love for the taste of a healthy lifestyle.  I will attempt to find a balance. 

I did it real good tonight.

I really wanted to take a nap around my favorite nap time today, right in the middle of Oprah's hour.  Instead I motivated and went to the gym at 5:30 for Just Pump.  Agnes was subbing today.  She used high tempo music and she led us through very fast reps so I stuck to 8 lbs until the very end when I moved to 5 so I could keep good form.  She is crazy.  She's extremely positive though so you really want to keep up.  She's been teaching these classes over 20 years so that's just wow!  Impressive.  But she loves pain.  I know because I've seen her walk into the gym in her work clothes and her heels are about 5 inches high.  So after class, I walked out to my car to head home.  There I realized I had my yoga mat and an extra water in my car so I grabbed them and hopped back in, into the 6:30 yoga/ pilates class.  I stuck to level 1 & 2 and didn't push myself too hard.  I just wanted to stretch out mostly, and stop sweating.  It was good!  Rush home and eat 1/2 c low fat cottage cheese for protein and HYDRATE and now I'm feeling like a shower, 3 ounces of protein, and night night.  Today starts week 4 (my final week) of my medical weight loss program and I'm down 11 lbs, and 8% body fat.  I.Feel.Good.  Life is good.  Good is the word of the day.  Maybe tomorrow I will be more creative with my words.  I'm satisfied for today.
