Re: ***Healthy Living Check In***
Physical activity was only one walk this week. Really though it's been a stressful last couple of weeks. My MIL got sick and was in the hospital for a week and a half. Due to her health issues and extremely thin frame she cannot walk without assistance. She is in physical therapy and now requires in home healthcare. My GMIL fell Saturday night and broke her hip. She is in the hospital recovering from surgery, but will be needing to go to rehab, and get around the clock care. My DH is an only and his late dad was an only child...so all of this is on us. Then I found out today my uncle is having quadruple bypass (& his mom passed last Sunday). So needless to say on top of working full time and being a mom, you can add hospital visits and coordinating care to my schedule. So exercise this week will probably be a fail.
The thing I love most about my boys is their smiles. They are pretty happy kids. I hope the world doesn't change that for them.
@FmrAFBrat - Prayers for you and your family. Sorry, you're having to deal with so much right now.
@dillngr9 - Awesome job!
-How successful were you this week with your plan? Anything getting in the way? Another sucessful week! I'm on day 15 of my 21 day challenge, and I've lost 7 1/2 lbs! I'm so glad I did this. I'm only eating their pre-prepared meals and snacks, but now I have lots of ideas for things I can cook that are similar. Also, my belly finally figured out that the smaller portion size does keep me full if I have healthy snacks in between. I'm saving all of my containers this week so that I can portion out my food correctly once I'm cooking on my own.
I did have my 2nd cheat meal this past Friday. I had to have chili at our chili cook-off, and it was so good. Especially with an ice cold beer! It was so hot here on Friday, and I sweat a ton getting our booth set up. I thought that would totally derail me, but I hopped right back on track the next day.
-Were you able to get any physical activity in? Yes, lots of cardio on the elliptical machine at the gym, and I'm doing the Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred Workout. I'm not doing it every day because I truly believe in giving your muscles a break, but every other day is working for me.
Fun question of the day: What do you love most about your LOs? I love her goofy sense of humor! I still can't understand her babbling, but she'll point to me say something with inflection and laugh. I'll laugh with her because she obviously thought it was funny. I can't wait until I get actual words to go along with her little jokes.
