Fast food withdrawl?

I MISS MY MCDONALDS!!! I have been doing so well not eating fast food..although tonight after oldest daughter's soccer practice we went out for KFC. At least there are no trans fats there..and it is a change from Mcdonalds. I have been trying to give up sodas but have only gotten to the point of buying the little baby cans from the grocery store instead of the large bottles. I actually had 2 of them today but I was sooo tired I really needed the caffeine. I hope to give up sodas completely again as I had did once before. I also had given up Mcdonalds for over a year but got hooked after one fry.
My workout routine has been steady..keeping at the walking, especially with the nice weather. I am doing more sit ups now so possibly I am strengthening my muscles. I doubt they will ever be prebabies though. I am going to have to go through my photo album and find a pic of my belly to post when I was prego..you won't believe it. :-)

Weekly post..fitness update!

I am sooooooooo proud of myself that I have started eating a salad for lunch instead of my usual Mcdonalds... Okay, so all the Mcdonalds within a 3 mile vicinity know my name but hey, I am trying. :-)

I have been working out too, slowly and surely. I chase children around all day so you would think my cardio would be good but the other day I had to take my oldest daughter to soccer practice and it was at the Annandale NOVA campus (btw-did anyone know that there was a soccer field there because I sure didn't) and I had to walk up that hill by the lake...OH MY GOODNESS! I felt like I was going to die. Why is walking up a hill SO much harder that just walking around on flat ground?

Sit ups aren't going so well but I really need to work on them. I honestly think my muscles are forever changed from popping out 2 babies (sorry for the gross visual, lol). Walking has been good, I am sticking to it but I seem to always try to get out of the rest of my plan. I am trying though...I try to make it interesting by changing up my weights. For instance, I am babysitting my friends very overweight pug..and I thought I could lift him a bit in lieu of arm curls. :-)

My first post

I have chosen to mainly focus on Muscular Strength/Endurance in attempts to improve my stomach muscles that were stretched out so far after my 2ND daughter. I also would like to attempt to cut back on the amount of fast food and sweets I eat. I would like to set a good example to both my daughters that exercise and nutrition are important factors of life and that they should be incorporated into every day living. This is hard for me because I could literally live off chocolate ice cream and Dr. Pepper. My elementary school aged daughter will be doing some crunches with me in attempts to motivate me and help develop her own strength and endurance. I was concerned during my evaluation when she wanted to see how many she could do and it was less than myself. She is in no way overweight or lacking in endurance as she plays soccer for 2 teams each season which means rigorous training and two hours of actual play time each weekend. I am hoping this class changes my life as well as promotes healthy living for my girls.
