On to my health

So it's official, we are not pregnant and will not get pregnant again for at least a few years. What does this mean? It means I can work on me for a while. I'm still nursing so I have to eat for two for a while, but an empty stomach means that I can www.crossfitmiramar.com my heart out and not worry about damaging any growing babies. Yeah!

I started last week doing about 10 min of rowing a day. It's a start considering that I haven't "worked out" for over two years now due to being pregnant, nursing/husband being deployed, then being pregnant again. I do about 15 rounds of 20 seconds on 10 seconds off. It doesn't exhaust me but it's all I have time for. I'm going to see if I can up it to twice a day on the days when we are home the most. We'll see how well we do.

I've also started a food blog that just puts what we ate that day. I think this will help me keep from snacking out of boredom. My biggest problem with the Three Question Diet is learning when I'm really hungry vs when I'm bored. I have to work on that. I think I can mostly tell the difference because when I'm just hungry out of boredom I look at the healthy stuff and think "nah, something more snack like" vs when I'm really hungry I want the fruits, veggies, or meat we have. It def makes it easier that I only buy good stuff. That way I'm not tempted by sugary treats or typical wheat filled snacks. I also am trying to replace my boredom snacking with drinking instead. If I'm gonna sit on the couch and nurse it's better for me to have a drink than a snack anyway (need to replenish the fluids).

Tonight my husband has "mandatory fun," so we are just eating some fruit and lunch meat. Tomorrow night I think I'm gonna try the mustard pork...and then Friday night I'm gonna put together the bluecheese bacon stuffed burgers. It should be yummy. I'll let you know.
