This marks the end of my first week of a new lifestyle.  I wouldn’t say it has been easy but it hasn’t been difficult.  I made sure I had things for me to snack on and I also prepped earlier in the week so I wouldn’t have to try to fix something to eat when I was hungry.  I have great motivators also helping me stay focus and on track as well.  Roni from the thesavvyhousewife.com and Dee at theexquisitemommy.blogspot.com.  I must say they are truly a great support system for me at this time especially since I just had a baby.  One of the challenges that I am experiencing is that I am breast feeding so I have to make sure I take in enough calories to still produce enough milk to feed my baby (he is greedy).  But I just try to incorporate more veggies and fruits and I am taking a liking to brown rice also.

My exercises consist of squats and planks and lying on my back and using my baby as weights for my arms.  This week I will be incorporating Hip Hop Abs.  I was doing this prior to becoming pregnant and I loved it so I am excited about starting back up.  Once the weather gets warm and stays warm the Kid and I will be going for walks.

I keep forgetting to take pictures of my meals to document.  It looks so good that I can’t wait to eat it but I will place a sticky note up in the kitchen to see if that helps me remember.

This has been my motivation for Week 1

What are your motivators?

How do you fit in working out and kids?

Do you prep earlier in the week?
