Week Two

It came and went. This time with a pound increase. Talk about frustration! I am trying to figure out what I need to do differently. There are so many methods, applications and calculations to fat loss. How to eat. When to eat. What to eat. Do I work out every day? Do I do cardio every day? Do I just focus on my diet and then start my workouts after I see some change? I wish I knew the answers. What I wish is that I was one of those girls that could stop drinking soda and lose 10 lbs. Nope...all I have to do is look at food and I gain weight. However, I need to remember that I had another baby since the last time I was super active and eating clean. So my body composition is different. I am also just about 30 and I have heard that "things" start to change. I am all for change...I just want to get a handle on my body before I can't anymore. So although the first 2 weeks of this process have been incredibly frustrating. I am still taking it day by day. I am reminding myself of a quote that I love..."Failure to prepare is preparing to fail." When I am not at work, I am driving kids all over town. I spend many hours in my car and away from my own kitchen. Which means I need to prepare my day before the craziness starts. For me...ziplock baggies full of protein and veggies will have to be sufficient. I can't get myself to spend a ton of money on fancy lunch boxes and tupperware containers. However, loading my purse with plastic baggies is easy. Execution is KEY! I WILL succeed! So here is to the next week! Wish me luck! I am also going to post a BEFORE picture. I already feel vulnerable just thinking about it. But it needs to be done!
