I got to the gym today with both boys in tow and remembered why I blew it off the day before. Getting both of my kids, dressed, fed, and packed up with diapers and snacks is WAY too much work for just a normal day at the gym. Let's not forget all of MY stuff that needs to come too - change of clothes, water, headphones, wallet, phone, keys. I keep thinking it will be easier when my eldest is back at pre-school (it's vacation week) and I just have the babe but I might test this membership out for an additional week before signing my name on the dotted line for a year long commitment. I felt like a freaking pack mule walking in there today.
I mentioned in a previous post that I was thinking about doing a photo journal of my food intake. Yah, no way. I did a dry run and even with an app on my phone that allows me to upload photos instantly it was way too much of a pain the arse. I think what I might do is a simplistic record of my meals. So simple in fact that I'm not going to stress about totaling my calories. If I know the value for a meal, I'll write it down, if I don't, no stress. I've food journaled in the past and gotten so anal about it that when the odd day came that I couldn't record EVERY SINGLE CALORIE, I got frustrated and abandoned. I think the important thing will be just to keep a general log of the meals and snacks. That alone might curb the random handfuls of raisins here and there. We'll see. I'm going to start tomorrow in celebration of 70 days to go! Eeek!
Workout:
20 minutes on the elliptical
22 minutes on the treadmill on an incline (alternating between walking and running pathetically slow.)
5 minute arm circuit with free weights
