For those of you who know me, you know my eating habits are less than stellar...and you know my husband's are that much worse. We've been together since high school, and we share a love of all things fried. I've slowly but surely realized that your body doesn't handle that kind of food as well in your late twenties as it does in your teens and college years!
I did great in my pregnancy by doctor's standards. I ate crap, but still gained the recommended 30 pounds. I even lost 35 after having him, but it's slowly crept up on my that...crap...I'm going to have to eat better, and even worse, work out. I thought it would be the end of the world, but alas, it's not.
Luckily I work with a few girls who are fitness experts, or seem so to me! I've started (gasp) counting calories and working out. I actually feel amazingly better in just a few short weeks. I've lost 4 pounds and have a lot more energy. Who would have thought not eating fried everything would make you feel that way? I'm trying to eat a lot of fruit and veggies, and I'm eating more during the day. Hopefully this will be a lifestyle change. My next goal is to get Taylor on board with me!
It's funny. We would sit and eat chicken fingers and french fries, but not my child! I stuff him full of organic yogurt, fruit, veggies (which he barely eats!!), and "good foods". I've let up a little bit now that he's a toddler. I will let him have chick fil a nuggets, and a few other things. But I figure I should pump him full of good foods while I have the power to do it! So here's to healthy eating...I hope it sticks!
