New food plan.
Tyler from WellStrong Fitness and I had a conference call this morning about my 3-day food journal. (I was very good! I wrote everything down! Even when I didn’t want to) Tyler helped me to map out a plan for my meals. More protein and few carbs. Not real crazy about the egg without a yolk part…. I mean….. uhhhh ewwww it’s just the white stuff?? But I’m willing to try. Oatmeal is in. English Muffin out. No more Special K cereal with the chocolate pieces at night. I’m going to try a salad and 3 ounces of protein instead. 100 calorie packs as snacks stay but I need to add more fruit to my diet. Tyler said I can still have my peanut butter but ummmm my English Muffin is gone? OHHHHH WAIT!!! I get to eat it out of the jar with a Spoon!!! (Can you all hear Tyler talking to his computer right now??) Tyler also gave me a modified way to do push-ups! YEA!!!!!!! I can actually do 2 sets!! (Tyler still thinks that I’ll be able to do them on the floor in a month or 2. (OHHHH I wish you could hear the laughing…

Four Things to Consider When Vacationing with an Infant for the First Time!
Despite popular belief, having a new bundle of joy does not mean that you have to give up the joys of vacationing. It’s easy to get paralyzed by fear when it comes to traveling with a little one. There are tons of potential “what-if’s” that may make new mothers second-guess their decision to go on a vacation. Here’s the deal: you do have to take special care when it comes to your destination and travel arrangements. Keep the following four considerations in the back of your mind regardless of your vacation plans. Keep Your Plans Wide Open Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of traveling with an infant if that as long as wherever you’re going allows children, any sort of destination or activity is fair game. After all, babies don’t really have schedules or expectations beyond being fed and getting their sleep, right? Trip to Disney World? Totally cool. The great outdoors? Check. Even outside-the-box vacations fair game: Outdoorsy.co notes how families with small children can enjoy RV trips while volunteering along the way. Case in point, you can do just about anything with an infant in tow. Just keep in mind wherever you decide to go that you…

Week 1
It’s already been one week on the Channel 10 Half-Year Challenge. I got on the scale this morning, weighing 1.5 pounds less! YEA ME!! It was surprising since in this last week we’ve had a family BBQ celebrating DH & my birthdays. The Del Mar Fair trip and really can you go to the Del Mar Fair and not have a cinnamon roll or (HEY! I said OR and not AND!) the caramel apple tower. Anyway, a pound and half makes me HAPPY! Tonight after work I walked at the mall…. okay so it’s really called window shopping (but I like for you to think I’m just always exercising! Like a MACHINE!!) I drooled on the new Blackberry 8330 . Didn’t buy the very cute strappy red heels. AND didn’t even go near the food court. So see?? That’s exercising not shopping! Now I’m going to try to work on the push-up thing. Tyler at WellStrong Fitness said 20 reps and 2 sets. I can’t do even ONE! I’m going to try those everyday till I can do at least 2! I did move up to a bigger water bottle. Now I’m drinking at least 2 (but usually 3) bottles…
