1. How did last week go? Not great. I just cannot seem to fit exercise in with going back to work. I need to try to get up early and do it in the mornings because it is looking like the evenings just aren't going to happen. I ate well though.


2. Goals for this week? Try to exercise at least twice. YOU CAN DO IT PIVOT. Also, I am starting a Whole 30 on Monday with my boss. I have been doing a modified version this past month so we shall see. I'm sad to give up my dairy though


3. Food thoughts (recipes, grocery shopping, etc.) I recipe tested a couple whole 30 recipes for my lunches this week. They were actually really tasty considering they don't contain grains or dairy.

Thai Coconut Curry Meatballs I put these with cauliflower rice. Really Really tasty. I thickened the sauce with some arrowroot too because it seemed pretty runny to me.

Coconut Lime Chicken Served this with zoodles. Yum.


4. Questions/AW/Rants/Thoughts: I need to break down and buy a jogging stroller so I can take the babes on some jogs.


5. GTKY. Favorite outdoor activity to do with the kiddos. Stroller jogs! And soccer or catch in the yard.

1. How did last week go? Not great. I only made it to the gym once (goal was 4x), but I ate well.


2. Goals for this week? Get to the gym 3x and continue eating well. I may start getting up at 5 a.m. to get to the gym and do my morning routine without disrupting the rest of my household. At this point it's either 5 a.m. or 9 p.m.


3. Food thoughts (recipes, grocery shopping, etc.) I need to start precooking proteins for my lunches. I'm good at packing a full, healthy salad, but if I don't have hardboiled eggs, tuna, or chicken precooked, then I usually skip protein. Or I pack peanut butter and celery, but I'd rather have protein on my salad.


4. Questions/AW/Rants/Thoughts: My rant is my family is against me. I can't seem to find the time to exercise. My thought is I ditch the gym for a while and pick up P90X again so at least I can workout at home. But do I feel like killing myself with P90X... we'll see.


5. We just love being outside! J loves walks around the park, going for hikes, or we swing/play water table in the backyard. Anything outdoors really.

1. No good. Between being back at work and completely exhausted I haven't gotten into a good pattern of working out/gym time. This is what I feared would happen once I started back.

2. Gym tomorrow, Friday, Sunday. *hopefully*

3. No thoughts. Get something on the table lol

4. Just feeling like I wish I had more time for gym/myself without DH getting annoyed or sacrificing work hours. I can't imagine sleeping less than I do but I think that's the only way I'll get there.

5. Playground

oldbaylover1024 flyinghorses6 I don't remember it being this hard to get to the gym or workout while working after my first. Maybe it's the extra kid that's making it more difficult. I just signed up for a CycleBar class for Friday though so I feel like I'm forced to go to that lol.

I don't remember it being this hard either, pivot. I think part of it is the 2nd kid, but part of it is managing expectations. I definitely wasn't working out 5x/w at this point with J. It took me and MH about 6 months to get in a rhythm/routine where I could consistently get to the gym.

I hate it! The only way I can go is on mornings where I didn't work the night before and DH can stay home a little bit. Doesn't leave many days. It's going to get worse in about 3 weeks when his summer schedule kicks in once September hits our lives will slow down again. But I won't be seeing much of him this summer, thankfully we have a baby sitter who helps me. But I'm not looking forward to it. I've got to find a way to make the gym work regardless because I'm SO much happier when I go.
