Traveling for a long weekend & I managed to schedule in a gym workout, running meet up with an old friend, a yoga class & a Zumba class! Hopefully, I can also keep the sugar content in foods low. Otherwise, an incredibly busy week … does moving boxes & storage crates count as a workout? Ha!

Ok… I haven’t been on for a couple of days, but I finished the No Sugar yesterday and I added a little bit today, but have stayed on a strict 1300 calorie day. I am going to eat some of what I like and stay in the 1,200-1,300 calorie range. This is easier for me than to stay away from everything. And I can stick to it longer…

Motivation Monday: up early to walk/run & achieved the 10k+ step goal! Adding in more walking & running has increased my energy level, improving my motivation to stay committed!

So my Saturday was horrible, but I got back on track Sunday and have done pretty good today. I just need to find more time for exercise!

Okay another day done! I’m enjoying keeping busy! Got stuff moved out to the horses property today and got a couple ton of hay today!

Ok… so to say I’m out of shape is understatement. However, on my iPhone I downloaded the app Asana Rebel. It has short workouts and stretches to do throughout the day. I highly recommend it. I’m already getting more flexible.

For exercises I can’t really incorporate Bubbles into, such as yoga, I’ve lucked out with his pretty consistent nap schedule that allows me somewhat planned time to myself to get it done! How do other mamas work around their baby’s schedules?
