Back On Track

I stepped on the scale the other day, and then went downstairs and threw away the chocolate chips and marshmallows. I have pretty much weaned Ollie off of breastfeeding and am struggling with my portion control now. For almost 2 years I've been pregnant or breastfeeding so I was able to eat whatever I wanted (and I did!!). It's time to retrain my brain and get back on track! Whenever I have realizations like these about my weight/diet I turn to my 8 week Be Healthy Challenge, which was introduced to me by my mom. The reason why I love this Challenge is because it's not a diet in that I'm restricted in what I can and can't eat. You give yourself points based on certain things you do such as drinking 64 oz of water or having 3 servings of veggies daily. Normally you do this Challenge with other people and you compare points at the end and give a prize to the winner (my mom won this last year with some friends and got $100!). I posted what Week 1 looks like but you can go to this link and see all 8 weeks.

These homemade popsicles may look like chocolate to you, but think again, they are Spinach Berry popsicles and they were awesome. Baby approved!

Fortunately I was able to get the spinach I needed before he got to it

Ok so our fitness has been pretty low key with taking Ollie on walks through our neighborhood, gotta start somewhere right?

I was grabbing a few items in Whole Foods today and was so excited when I saw these Tram Bars. This energy bar was created in my home town and when I moved away I had completely forgot about them. I guarantee this is the absolute best energy bar you will ever eat. Everything is organic--no GMO's baby! Try one.
