Healthy Mama Link-Up {Week 1}

Welcome to week 1 of the Healthy Mama Link-up!  Here’s how my week went:

Diet

We really did not start watching what we are eating until Monday.  Last week we were finishing off a few things around the house and I did not shop until Monday.  Since Monday I have stuck to the meal plan and it has gone well.  Just to give you a feel for what we are eating here’s what I had yesterday-

Breakfast: I had 2 egg muffins and a banana.  And water.  I drink water all. day. long.  Forgive the poor photo quality.  I eat breakfast EARLY.

Lunch: I had a can of Progresso chicken noodle soup.  And more water.

Snack: Some carrots.  There were more in my bowl, but I snapped this picture after I had eaten some. With my pal, water.

Dinner: I had the Daniel Plan Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry.  I have no picture of dinner from last night so I snapped a photo this morning.  Again, sorry about photo quality, but getting up when it’s still dark means photos are not good.  This is a great recipe for any of you looking for a break from typical “diety” food.  There is nothing diet at all about the flavor of this dish.  Oh, and I had some water too 🙂

Exercise

Monday I took a long walk with the boys.  Yesterday I did an elliptical workout.  The elliptical workout kicked my butt.  I want to lose weight, but I also want to get my level of fitness back up, to be strong and in shape again.  I have yet to get back into Pilates or running but I need to.  Maybe by the end of this week?

 

Weight Lost

I weighed in this morning and since last Wednesday I have lost 2.0 pounds.  That’s 1.1%.  I have a few weight loss goals-

• Get to a healthy BMI (9 pounds to go)
• Get to my pre-pregnancy weight (11 pounds to go)
• Get to my pre-marriage weight (16 pounds to go)
• Total Weight Loss Goal {Get back to my ideal weight} (26 pounds to go)

 

Now it’s your turn!  How are you all doing?  Please feel free to share any posts about steps you are taking toward becoming healthier.
