What a week it has been!
We're now five days in to the 12WBT and I'm catching myself looking forward to exercising in the mornings. I hope that lasts!
I will admit I'm not following the nutrition plan very closely at all. The calorie level is far to low for me (tandem breastfeeding = sucking the life out of me ;)) and I had a couple of near fainting experiences early on. I have very low blood pressure so am using those dinners that I think will appeal to my family and making more mindful choices with other meals.
My whole family enjoyed the lasagne so that is going on the menu rotation!
The biggest change I have made so far (aside from daily workouts) is eating breakfast. For years now I have had a coffee or two and called it breakfast, then been starving by around 10am and eaten whatever I felt like. I get some serious sugar cravings while breastfeeding so you can imagine what I was grabbing!
This week I have had an egg or two with grain bread every single morning. It has made a huge difference to my eating habits during the day. I'm still having a snack mid morning but that's what it is, a snack. Usually yoghurt or a slice of banana bread.
Because I'm eating a decent breakfast I am also motivated to have a good lunch, so in that sense I've really overhauled the way our days run.
I've started the C25K running program and am doing that on the treadmill. On alternate days I've been doing Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred which is hard! But because it is a 20 minute program I can manage it and the little two cope with that okay so far. I'm looking forward to feeling a bit stronger though!
So how is your first week going? I'd love to hear about it in the comments, or if you are a blogger please do join in our blog hop!
