So although I haven't been actually exercising, I am trying to be more active in my daily activities, the plus side being I have a clean house too! I want to get a pedometer because I am sure I am not doing anything near 10000 steps a day being at home with the kids. We don't go anywhere really, or do that much through the week (we live in the sticks, there's not very much to do!), so I don't think I would reach 10000 steps at all. And that is probably including a 40min walk each day!
that sounds like my day, dont really do a whole lot, just at home most days, maybe go out in the morning to the playground or shopping before dh goes to work in the arvo....one good thing about living too far to walk to the shops and having no car, if its not in the house...i cant have it. so really my will power onlyhas to last a short time when we are out shopping and then by the time we are home and i want to eat a cubic meter of chocolate, its tough casue it isnt in the house!!

belfie: that sounds about righti guess, before i changed my eating habits i would have been eating well over that, but now ive cut out all the high cal stuff i found i was actually eating about 1400cal, so i have had to through a few healthy snacks in to make sure im not affecting my milk etc. did you see that link i posted??

mildez: i think going by measurments is a much better way to do it, i recon scales can be very fickle and can depend on water retention or muscle built and dont really give you the best idea of 'fat lost' which, lets be honest, is what we are trying to loose

dh has taken dd1 out for the morning and dd2 is asleep....might do a cheeky 20 mins of cardio while i have the time!!!

todays goals;
-cardio
-water
-walk
-low salt
-no snacking
-do a good healthy food shop with yummy meals to keep me happy!!

have a great day everyone!!
