Can't Remember What Day - book is upstairs :)

The things that I have been working on are sitting to eat, eating slowly and mindfully, rearranging my environment, taking the time to plan the diet, and committing to an exercise routine.

1. Stitting to eat – this I’m going well and do this most of the time . Yay! I will work on doing it all of the time.
2. Eating Slowly and Mindfully – This is so hard for me. I’m on turbo mode most of the time – which is why yoga is so good for me. That just gave me an idea. I’ll calm down before I eat and take some deep breaths. The breath is so underestimated. I’ll let you know how it goes.
3. Rearrange environment – Done. Junk food gone except a few chips that don’t tempt me much and chocolate chips. All are on a high shelf that I have to get a chair for. My husband has been so good and supportive. He loves sugary stuff, but was fine moving them or eliminating them.
4. I’m going to plan my menu on Fridays during nap time and plan my week on Saturdays. That is today and I hope to do it during nap time for 1 and 3yo and when 6 yo is at T-ball. (He had a fever this morning so we will see if he actually goes. I’d rather he didn’t, but that kid likes to be where the action is.)
5. Monday during nap time will be yoga.
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning will be a pump class at the gym.
Wednesday will be walking/jogging or hills at the gym during nap time – (practicing to join hubby on some big hikes this year)
Friday Morning will be walking/ jogging or hills.

If I miss my normal time to exercise then I will make up for it later in the day. I don’t like to do it later in the day so hopefully that will be motivation.

Hubby and I have talked about ways to get the kids and ourselves into bed earlier so that I can make my early exercise times. (I won’t wake that early if I haven’t gotten enough sleep. One thing I value is enough sleep and I’ve also heard that not enough sleep can cause weight gain. Don’t know if that is true, but I liked the idea. :)

Today I plan on packing up 1yo in the storller and letting 6yo ride a bike and going for a walk before a BBQ with my hubby's new business partner and his family. (Hubby will be self-employed at the end of this week.)
