Let's get it started!

Ok so my first post was a little  lot of background information. So as you can see I am sort of a yo-yo dieter. I do not want to be that way! I want to get fit and stay fit. There are tons of fitness blogs out there, but a lot of them don't seem very realistic to me. You have people who don't work a full time job, don't have kids, or their job is to be fit. I work full-time at an office and have two kids. I don't have time to go to the gym . I work during the day and my husband leaves for work when I get home. My mom babysits during the day, so I don't want to bother her with keeping the kids for me to go to the gym in the evening. All of my exercise routines will have to be done at home with my kids there. My plan is to eat (mostly) clean during the week and have a couple of cheat meals on the weekends. I want to stick to that as closely as I can. I am hoping to exercise at least 5 days a week.

Here is my meal plan for today:

Breakfast-EAS Protein shake

Lunch-Hickory Smoked Tuna packet, special k cracker chips, banana (that I didn't eat on my morning break as planned)

Afternoon snack-Carrots

Supper-I don't have solid plans which is probably a set up for disaster haha...but my tentative plan for supper is baked tilapia, green beans, and brown rice.

I have several different exercise dvd programs at home and am deciding between those at the moment. I have kind of a knock off of P90x that I will prbably try to start back. Each one is around 30 minutes, more or less, that is what I used last time with success. I used Slim in 6 by Beachbody after having Jackson and I was successful with that. But, the more advanced you get, the longer the workout is. I am not sure if I can manage over an hour in the evenings. The kiddos might not allow that. I have also considered getting up earlier and doing like 20-30 minutes each morning then 30+ in the evenings. We'll see!
