No Girl is an Island

Being on the Best Life Diet has changed some of my daily routines like eating and particularly my workout.  Before I started I really didn’t eat until the late morning because I have never really been a breakfast person.  Something about eating a heavy meal first thing in the morning was never a habit although breakfast is my favorite food.  I usually ate my heaviest meal for lunch and being a stay at home mom that was usually breakfast.  Now, instead of grabbing a piece of fruit, I have to adjust my nursing schedule to create a space to make myself an entire meal.   As far as what I eat that hasn’t posed any challenges because their wasn’t anything crazy in my kitchen to begin with.

 

My workout schedule is an entirely different story.  My neighbors, husband and girlfriends are all involved in the childcare aspect of my going to the gym.  I work out three times a week, and each of these times my husband, my retired neighbors, or a girlfriend baby sits for me.  Asking them to look after my little bundle of joy was a big step because I’m never more than 5 minutes out of his presence at a time.  But now that I’m secure about his welfare I have to now deal with the, ‘so how’s the diet going?’  What can I say?  It’s another point of accountability and yet another point of not wanting to discuss it.  I guess when I start seeing bigger results in the mirror or any reduction on the scale I’ll feel different.
