Getting back on track.

The last time I posted about my health was in October. I apologize that I have not been giving updates on my progress. For those who are interested I have lost some weight. I was on a great plan and was seeing progress. So what happened? The Holidays. I know that's not a very good excuse. But honestly that's it.

I am a single mom with 3 very excited kids. I picked up a second job and just did not have the time or energy to work out every day. And on top of that all the sweets!! It doesn't help that I work in an office setting where clients were constantly bringing in "end of the year, thank you goodies". We STILL have cookies and candies sitting here staring at me.

So now that all that is over with I'm ready to get back on track.

NO! this is not a new years resolution. THIS IS FOR LIFE. I want to be a healthier person. Get to my goal weight, have more energy and be happier with myself. How will I do this?

1.) I plan on being smarter with what I eat. I tried counting calories. Its smart but I just got tired of it. I had this great app on my phone called "My Fitness Pal". It was great, really. And I may still use it. But I think with what I've learned over the past few months on fitness I think (hope) that I can make smart healthy decisions on my own. But If you would like more info on that app click here.

2.) I also follow a really great blog. The writer is a ballet student and she posts some great tips on staying healthy. She also creates her own fitness calendars each month. I started this the month of October and saw great results in my body toning up. I am definitely excited to get back into that.
You can follow her blog here. Check out her Calendars here.

3.) I want you to encourage me and keep up with my story. They say that's its best to have a "fitness buddy". Well I want that to be you!!! I promise I won't quite this time around. I will post more pictures and give regular updates on my progress. So please keep encouraging me. I want to hear your stories. I want to know what you are doing to be healthier. Deal?

I plan on keeping this blog all about my healthy progress but if you are interested in everything else in my life.
How I make my living as a single mommy. How I've helped friends start thier own businesses. And anything else about me. Then click here.

Be Blessed!!

Weight Loss Suppliments

So here's my dilemma ... I really want to lose just a little bit more weight. Not a lot. I'm talking like less than 10 pounds. But I am having a terrible time doing it . I know the best answer is diet and exercise.  Definitely 100% agree !!! My problem is that when it comes to dieting I have plateaued. :( I lost a bunch of weight when I first changed my diet. I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm" - yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that. Exercise is great. It really is . I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises  BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME . I have 3 kids to take care of ...
