Need some direction...

Hi! My name is Jess. I have been there done that so many times and this time i've finally taken a different approach. I have been in your shoes before time and time again. I have four kids and up until recently worked full time while trying to take care of me. I eventually lost 30 lbs of baby weight from my last child but that was when i ran 5 miles a day, did the elliptical for 1/2 hr everyday and weights every couple days and i ate properly. Then life catches up on you and all the stuff you do goes to crap because there is no time.

Here's what i did: plan plan plan, i am constantly planning my next meals after i eat my first meals that way i stay ahead of the game and reduce grabbing something when i am feeling famished. Keep a journal of when you are hungry and what you eat, regardless of if you are eating a healthy meal or not, this journal will help you see any patterns on cravings. Water water water. Incorporating exercise can be tough but any little bit helps. Plan your exercise just as you plan your meals and if you don't do a workout one day that you planned do not beat yourself up about it, pick it up the next day. Whatever you do take it day by day. Make small goals every week. Each week incorporate one new small goal, for example week 1 my goal was drinking at least 6 glasses of water....i hate water so for me 6 glasses is good. The next week i would shoot for 8. It depends on what YOU want to do. You have to make the choice of the importance to YOU. I've read and read and read to stay informed. Keep in mind it takes a couple months to put the weight on, it will take just as long to take it off, so do not think that after 1 week its just gonna fly off, especially as a woman that just doesn't happen.
