Busy Mom on a Diet

Posted on July 22, 2014

Hey!!! This is my first time writing a blog. I just want to write about my journey as a busy mom trying to lose weight. Throughout my journey I'll share the joys and struggles about dieting and losing weight on a busy mom schedule lol. Hope everyone enjoys reading this :)

i know today was day 1 on diet bet but I started yesterday :) I started diet bet because my husband and I are having trouble getting pregnant. We have 2 amazing kids and want to add more craziness and joy to our family. We've been trying for over 7 months now without any success. We've read and done everything we can so far, so now we've decided to focus on our diet and exercise and to not stress out too much on trying to get pregnant. Now that you know a little about my backstory, ill get into my journey so far on dietbet.

Yeaterday was a crazy day; we're rehabbing our basement

Day 3&4: yesterday I was so busy that I couldn't fit in a workout. I baked all day and was preparing for my moms surprise party this Saturday. I did do some landscaping and mowed the lawn, so I guess I got a little workout. Today I'll be finishing up preparing for the party and then definitely fit in a workout! I have to admit that yesterday I cheated for dinner. We went out to eat and I did not eat the best :( anybody else have trouble when eating out?? What are your guilty eating pleasures? I'm nervousness for the party tomorrow...hopefully I can control myself with all the party food. Does anyone have helpful tips for party eating?

Day 2: quick note; I didn't workout yesterday :(
Today I finally got my basement done!!! I worked out today too; 1mile on treadmill and 1 mile on elliptical :) felt good to get that cardio in. I need to find time to the 9 minute workouts from Chris powells book. 9 minutes may not seem like a big deal to fit in a day but it's hard for busy moms and dads. Are there any parents out there that works out their kids?? If so I would love to hear back from you and let me know what kin do workouts you do with your kids.
I also had a small victory for me tonight. We went out to buona beef n I got a beef sandwich with side sala instead of fries, and I didn't the bread from the sandwich :) very proud of myself and I've been really watching my portions. I still need to consume more water. I'm not a fan of large amounts of water...I need to start flavoring my water! There are great recipes on Pinterest for flavoring water, maybe I'll start posting those :) I hope everyone had a great day 2!!

I just had my first baby 14 weeks ago. I share this only to say that we struggled too!! Saw a fertility specialist, etc...ultimately I started following a primal / semi-paleo diet. I truly believe we became pregnant by dropping the processed foods, breads, milk, etc. I was also CrossFitting which probably helped as well.

You can do this! You took the right first step :)
