Starting Over

So I put up a post about a month ago where I claimed I was starting "insanity" again. However, that didn't really happen the way I had planned (it really is just so hard and I am so so out of shape).  So I started again last week but this time, I'm doing what I can with the program, and not forcing myself to do an entire dvd a day. I'm doing away with the "I need to do this in 60 days" and instead, using it as a way to build my way back into intense exercise. It has really taken the pressure off and I have been doing better than when I started, so that is definitely progress.

 

 

So yes, I'm starting again, but I am also including a sugar-cautious diet.  Every monday, I used to tell myself that I would be watching my sugar intake for the week, but the problem was, I was not surrounding myself with anything that would allow me to do that. So as a result I was pounding away the pastas and desserts and sugar-full items.

So today I made a run to the store and splurged on the pistachios and lean meats and some yummy veggies. I've been struggling with removing all this pregnancy weight and so I'm sort of excited about this. I'm also doing it for 3 weeks and then starting again. It'll give me some reachable goals, keep me away from making excuses and focus my energy on maintaining a healthy lifestyle again. Again, I'm not cutting sugar out completely, but what that means is reaching for the strawberries instead of the ice cream or using quinoa instead of the penne.

So there you have it. I've posted it. Now I can have you turn me around towards the spinach when I try to sneak some reeses under the table =)
