Welcome New Leaf, I finally turned you over!

Today was workout day one with Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Ohmygosh!! That was intense. It's only 25 minutes from start to finish including warm up and cooldown, but you never stop moving. I worry greatly what my legs are going to feel like in the morning. I also joined Livestrong today which is a really great site. It helps me track my fitness and nutrition goals. I should say, before someone says it for me, that my main focus is not to lose weight. Yes, I'm at my highest "not-pregnant" weight, but it's not the weight that bothers me. My goal is to tone and firm. I won't be disappointed in a few pounds lost, but it's not my focus. My nutrition goals are mainly to eat healthier. Garbage in, garbage out is also a good reference when it comes to what you are eating and drinking. I eat a lot of snack and junk food and drink a lot of soda. Today was day one with no soda, just water and iced tea (can't give up my caffeine altogether!). I also started taking a daily multivitamin.

Yes, I started this because I have a month at home without Adam here and I'm hoping to reveal a little mini makeover when he returns, but I also want to feel better about my appearance. I don't want to constantly be concerned that everyone is silently picking out my flaws when they talk to me. That might need more than just some working out, but it's where I'm starting.

I also made dinner tonight. Not that healthiest, but it was yummy! Pork chops, steamed carrots, and macaroni and cheese.

My plan is to incorporate a daily craft time with the kids and to get my cleaning on a better schedule. We'll see how that goes.

In the meantime, Jillian kicked my butt today with that workout. Zander is still peeing in the potty. And tonight, I'm letting the boys stay up to watch Toy Story 2 on tv. We own the DVD, but they are showing Toy Story 3 clips during the commercial breaks so the boys wanted to watch. :)
