When I put morning/night that's for my reference. I can look back and see how often I was up early, etc. Wednesday I ran after the girls were asleep and my run started out light and ended in the dark. I won't do that again. I couldn't see well and I felt unsafe at times and turned off my music so I could hear around me.
My weakness with snacking is eating the girls snacks (a handful here and there) and night snacking. I don't feel like I eat a lot during the day, but calories from snacking adds up. Plus, I never know how many servings I actually ate. I want to get better about this. For example, I won't be buying chocolate animal crackers and mini peanut butter crackers from Trader Joe's anymore! I think I eat them more than Ellie does.
I really want to keep up my mileage with running because I know how easy it is to get out of shape and how hard it is to get back up there. That's why I will be running 5+ miles on my run if I can. In order to challenge my body I will add jog/sprints on some runs. Usually I will sprint a block, then jog a block and so on. Running is my favorite workout to get my body in shape. I do feel it's harder to tone up after having kids so I'm hoping P90x will help! I also really enjoying running. It is a great stress reliever and it's my time to think.
Yesterday I ran another 5 miles and I plan to take a bootcamp or TRX class this week to switch it up in addition to P90x.
Here are a few eating changes and goal:
- No sugar in my coffee at home (I started doing this last week)
- Limit snacking at night (find a healthier alternative)
- Plan healthy dinners for the week ahead of time
