2 Pounds Down

Since my girls have been gone for a little over a week now, mommy has had much time to sit and reflect. Maybe to much reflection at times. During my times of reflection this past week, I decided that instead of continuing to put on pounds I would try to get a good start at shedding some pounds while my children were away. Last Monday I began a diet and exercise routine. I am sure I am like so many, "not good at this sort of thing". To be honest I was not excited last Monday when I began, see I like to eat but within the last 6 months most of my eating has been out of pure boredom, I have come to realize that this has to stop now.

My plan to loss my pregnancy weight and the weight I have put on due to eating out of boredom is the old fashion counting my calories and at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.

Now for those of you who think this is simple, I challenge you to give it a shot. Over the past week I have become aware of how many calories are in certain foods, man have my eyes been opened. As a child I remember my mom trying to diet and how she used to write down her calories, at this point in my life I never understood how this all worked but wow now I do. See when counting your calories you must remember to see exactly what the serving size is, many times that favorite food is just not worth it.
