Picnics Can Be Fun! Into my third week of Body Back!

I had a lovely day with my children at the park today but was worried about making the right choices for all of us while wanting to have a picnic! I knew this would be one of the last nice days we would have for a while, so I wanted to take advantage of it! My daughter reminded me that it would not be a picnic unless we brought a blanket and sat on the ground. I was just glad she was as excited about it as I was. So, with hesitation about actually being able to eat as I wondered if my 2 1/2 year old would sit long enough to let me get something down, we headed off.
Packed in my handy thermal tote were 2 turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread with hummous and lettuce (for myself and my 6 year old) , a peanut butter and jelly sandwich sandwich for my 2 1/2 year-old (natural peanut butter and real fruit spread), carrots, grapes, string cheese, and organic chocolate bear cookies. I of course just had my turkey sandwich and some carrots and was fine, and my children thouroughly enjoyed their healthy lunch on a beautiful fall day! So here I am into my third week of eating clean and on my way to getting my body back, I feel great that I can be a good role model for my children and help to form their ideas of what eating well is all about!

I want my Body Back!!

Well, I am not really sure I ever had it in the first place, but I am lucky enough to have just started this journey with Kim Strassman who is an amazing fitness guru and is on the Stroller Strides corporate team. The program is called Body Back and is an 8 week results driven program geared towards moms. I want to bring this program on along side my current Stroller Strides program but I think that it will be more successful if I go through the program first my self. So I started Monday, October 25th and I am on day 4. I am feeling good, and sore, which means I am working my body hard! I was working out 2-3 times a week. Well, I thought that was enough. Ha, Kim has me working out 6 days a week. I look forward to sharing my journey here with you!
