So this exercising thing is hard stuff. I'm just not motivated. I know, I know, action leads to motivation. I know I need to get up and exercise and then I'll become motivated to do it. It's hard when a child gets you up twice in the middle of the night because of  a scary dream. By the time all is settled and the alarm goes off the bed feels too nice to leave once again! (I turned off the alarm and rolled over that morning!)
I did however get up this morning and do a little exercising and stretching. I kind of cheated. I put in Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and put it on fast forward, the slower setting. I make it through the video in half the time! Only down side is, you only get half the work out, but a little is better than no workout right!
I know that eating healthy is a major part of shedding pounds and feeling better so I try to make better choices. I really need to stop the snacking and that will help tons! Board? Eat a snack. Tired? Eat a snack. Happy? Munch on something! Stressed cause the kids wont leave me alone? Eat a snack! You get the picture, I snack. Not the healthy stuff either. My favorite snack is a bag of chocolate chips. I dump a few out in my hand for every snack. And we all know that you can't just stop at a few chocolate chips so I get more. Sometimes I even add a spoon of  peanut butter!!! Don't gasp I know you do it too with your favorite snack!

So my new favorite thing to do is Leslie Sansone videos. Look her up! She does these walk off the pound video's. They are easy but still get you sweating. I rent them from the local library! I love to put one in and do that while I watch biggest loser on Hulu! Since hers are simple I turn the volume down on the video so I can hear biggest loser. I don't know about you but I've never felt right about watching those people work till they drop and not working out myself.

So back to the eating healthy part and less calories. I made myself a breakfast smoothie! Not as good as my husbands but it was alright. My youngest insisted on having some as well and she liked it! It's super easy! I'll post a pic of what goes in it!

So I just noticed that the milk isn't in the picture. You will need some kind of liquid, usually milk to make it creamy. It's easy and quick to fix and tastes great! Make it and take it on your way to class or work and you've eaten breakfast.  They say the common most thing among over weight people is they skip breakfast. Not a good thing. It'll make you more hungry and you'll snack more throughout the day. A good breakfast, however simple, is key to keeping you on track for the rest of the day! Don't skip breakfast!!
Happy exercising!
