Fit Friday - Week 1!

It's official, I have come the conclusion, that I MUST do something about this weight. It's not going away on it own. For the last several weeks a few of my friends and I have been trying to think of a good way to keep each other motivated. And it is hard. I do so well one week and then the next week I do horrible and make up all kinds of excuses and try to justify my actions with something or another. And it has to stop! Today is the day!

Missy @ It's Almost Naptime has started Fit Fridays and I'm joining in. I need to have some goals and really try to get to them.




Here they are:

Goals:

• More upper body strength....I am so weak, sometimes I don't know how I am able to lift my kids.
• To have my current clothes fit better. My several pairs of jeans are a little tight (but there is no way in H-E- double hockey sticks that I will buy the next size up!) It just not going to happen.
• To work on my baby tummy and arms and really try to get the muffin top under control and some definition in my arms
• I'm not really going to worry about the actual number, I would rather feel the results as to see them (if that makes any sense)

Here what I will do:

• go to the gym at least 3 (1 hour) classes a week
• stop finishing food off of my kids plates (oh how I hate to waste food)
• drink water, water and more water (I'm so bad at this.....not that I drink soda instead, I just don't drink anything)
• portion control !! Yes, this is my big problem. I really don't feel that I eat bad throughout the day, but when dinner comes, I'm hungry, so I eat more than I should.
• We are going to start using the "salad" plates for dinner. Smaller plate, smaller portion and no seconds!!!
• Little healthy snacks throughout the day, that way I won't be as hungry at dinner time. These are my new favorite veggie, String less sugar snap peas! Yummy!
• Saying "NO" to the extras when out to eat.....no mayo, no sour cream, no extra cheese! Goodbye good friends, I will miss you, but I know I don't need you.
• Oh, one little confession from early this week. I had a busy day on Monday and I only had a Kashi bar for breakfast (I know bad me), I had been running around doing all kinds of errands and was headed back to get the kiddos when I stopped at a Jimmy Johns and got a #4 (Turkey Tom and yes, it had mayo) I ate the entire sandwich, it was so good. I won't be giving Tom the complete boot. I can still have the #4, just without the mayo and cheese! It won't be the same, but I don't want to be the same either!
  
  So there it is! It's in writing for all of my two followers! I will be posting how things are going next Friday, so stay tuned.
