"I think no matter who you are, no matter what you do in your life, no matter where you've come from, you have to fight... We all fight in different ways. Freedom is on the other side of discipline. Your mind can only match where your body is." - Jake Gyllenhaal. Another thing he said "I care. A lot." - one reason why I've been eating junk today is cause I'm listening to the voice in my head that says "I don't care" It's temptations, I listened to Elder Gary Stevenson, I need to shut up those temptations and say "deceive me not."

Thursday - Drive to Las Vegas. Day 13 - IIII IIII III
Friday - Day 14 - IIII IIII IIII
Saturday - Drive back Home. I didn't exercise at all this week, which was pretty disappointing. I really thought Corey and I would both be able to make it to the gym everyday. Not a realistic expectation, it was just crazy, plus my thorn in the flesh returned on Monday night for some reason and I was kinda in pain all week. Today it is almost all better though, thankfully. Next week I restart exercising in the basement. Usually I feel so fat and bloated after a vacation, probably because of all the mindless carb eating. I really feel so great though, which surprised me esp since I haven't exercised. But maybe that's what a lot of veggies and no sugar does for my body, who knew! Today was Day 15 of no sugar!!! Go me - IIII IIII IIII Midnight (actually 2 am, but we're gonna count this for Saturday): Just did three 60 sec center planks on hands. Yay, I did something!

I'm starting some kinda goal, not sure - I'm going to eat 90%-100% non processed, and especially focusing on greens - trying to get in 5-10 servings of greens, then veggies and some fruit.

Feb 26 - Mar 2 (Peter is 6 weeks old)

Monday - Went to my 6 week doctor appointment today, I didn't look at the scale but I know I didn't reach my goal weight. I knew I wasn't going to last Monday and it kinda sent me into a slump for a few days. After a good cry on Thursday and some loving support from Corey, he assured me that I will get there. I then came across a new program that I am going to try, a 12 month program. Goal is to look amazing by our anniversary next year. I'm going to get there! Yesterday we had our family anniversary special dinner. Not over the top fancy like our very first one, but good enough (I ate some vegan choc covered coconut and seeds, it was good) Today I'm back on the wagon diet wise. But I didn't exercise. But I did eat my daily dozen and learned about the new program, I'm ready to kick but. Giving myself 1 year where I won't pressure Corey to have another kid cause I have a different goal. Not that a six pack is more important than a child, but Corey's done, so we'll see, I'll give him a break for a few months.

Feb 18 - 23 (Peter is 5 weeks old)

Monday - Peter is 5 weeks old. Spent a night away last night for our anniversary. I'm not feeling in the zone. Today I just shoveled the driveway, and did ten 20 second holds on the pull up bar, starting to toughen up my hands and work my way up to pull ups again
Tuesday - Happy Anniversary to us. I walked 1 mile on the treadmill this morning in 15:28, then 2 hours of night skiing at Brighton tonight. Very cold (zero degrees!) but it was good.
Wednesday - TEN 10 second let downs, I was shaking but I was able to hold a few at the top, most of them I was holding my best with arms at 90 degrees
Thursday - My knees have been hurting for a few weeks, not when I jogged but when I got up and down the stairs and when I get off the couch after feeding Peter (it's a real sink into it couch) So just did treadmill walk again, 40 minutes, 2.35 miles
Friday - About 20 minutes of random upperbody moves with 2/12 lbs in my closet, trying to get a burn. Watched a free online masterclass by Sculpted Vegan. I like it

Feb 11 - 16 (Peter is 4 weeks old)

Monday -  I shoveled snow this morning for 35 minutes. Broke a good sweat there, then did 3 miles on the treadmill, about half and half jogging and walking with a few sprints. Got interrupted a few times, was 40 minutes total. Weight at noon - 155.6, yay, new low
Tuesday - I've had sick kids for two weeks but today it was a bit harder cause the toddlers got it - fevers and throwing up - so all that plus a nursing newborn = I didn't get to working out today. I'm gonna give myself a break today, my eating has been awesome.
Wednesday - 2 Wonderful flows, then wake up kids, then 1 mile run in 9:12, then kids to school, then two more miles walking, finished 2 miles in 33:52
Thursday - Nothing, doh! Eating was spot on. Nursing lots and when Peter was asleep I was gone for 3 hours driving Eth to his sax lesson in Orem
Friday - Blah, not much, 10 min of stretching (2 wonderful flows) after midnight. I feel like I'm just nursing Peter all day
Saturday - 2 wonderful flows in the morning, feeling frustrated with life right now.

I didn't eat that great today, darn kids found the rice krispy treats that I had forgotten about and I ate too many. Haven't been in control, Peter's been nursing all day it feels like, I haven't been able to complete a task without being interrupted. I did get all my daily dozen, so I would have been good if I'd skipped the 8+ krispy treats
Friday - 12:30 pm - 1.27 miles in 16:55 - walking and did three 60 sec sprints. Then got a call from the school that Lily was not feeling well and needed to be picked up.

Saturday - busy housework day, but I didn't workout or even stretch, doh. But I'll give myself a break, cause it's hard for me to do really plan/schedule with a newborn.

Jan 28 - Feb 2 (Peter is 2 weeks old)

Monday - Peter is 2 weeks old today, we love him. He has messed up my morning workout time though, but I'm still getting it in, so it's okay. Today I did 3 miles on the treadmill from 11:15 - noon. Finished 3 miles in 41.16. I did it while the kids were in the basement watching Wreck It Ralph, so they didn't want me to sprint cause then the treadmill was too loud. So I walked most of the time. First mile was 15 min, 2nd mile 13.30 min. Then the movie ended as I was near the end of my workout, so I was able to do two 60 sec sprints before 3 miles was up, but then wanted to finish and get 4 sprints in, so I did two more. Total time 3.5 miles in 47 minutes, then 3 min cooldown. Total 3.66 miles in 50 min. Nice and sweaty. 2 Wonderful pigeon stretches. Peter was an angel and slept the whole time, he's a good baby. Weight after workout - 157.8, yay, new low. When Owen was 2 weeks old I was 173, with Daniel I was 165, so I'm doing really good!
Tuesday - 12 minutes of planks
Wednesday - 3 mile walk in 52 minutes. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night and so I didn't feel like jogging, but I can make myself walk

Monday - This little boy got a name on Friday - Peter Benjamin Wride. We're all still getting used to it though... Corey's calling him Percival, I keep calling him Daniel on accident, Ethan calls him Simba. He's a cutie and is one week old today!
I'm very sore from the lower body workout on Saturday, but I can walk, so that's good. Did 3 miles this morning. 1.54 in 29 minutes - walked and talked with Nicole. Next 1.5 mile was mostly jogging and done in 17 min, Total time 46:14. Also did quite a bit of shoveling today - we got dumped on big time. Weight 160.0, I'm only overweight anymore according to my samsung app, not obese anymore, ha, yay
Tuesday - More shoveling cause they finally plowed the street and it gave us a wall of snow in front of the driveway that the cars probably would be better to not drive through. Still sore from Saturday's workout. At 12:30 did 2 Wonderful warrior flows. Let's still sore and tight from Sat workout. Going to try and do some upper body later...
Wednesday - Peter slept really well last night - he woke up to nurse but didn't cry, so I didn't have to come onto the couch, yay, I slept in my bed and kinda feel rested! 2 Wonderful warrior flows, 3 miles on treadmill. Carpool this morning, so didn't workout first thing, tried to do it with kids awake, .5 miles in 9:28 before I gave up (O and D have been on one!) then did 2.5 after they went down for naps, time 34 min, total time 43:28. Did a few 60 sec sprints. Waterfasted all day today.
Thursday - Weight this am - 158.8, yay. 2 Wonderful pigeon stretches at 7:20 am. 10:15 pm did 12 minutes of planks
Friday - I was looking at old entries today of what I did for workouts after Owen and Daniel were born. (I was actually looking for my weight stats, but guess I'll have to go look in my old planner for those) Anyway, saw that I was doing 2 miles, and when D was 2 weeks old I did 2 miles in 21 minutes! Wow, so I thought I'd give that a go since I only had an hour before Natalie had to go to school and thus I was cutting it close to do my usual 3 miles. I pushed myself hard and did 2 miles in 21:10! I did four 60 sec sprints! Then an 8 min cooldown walking .5 miles. It feels good to work hard (after it's over anyway!)
