Jacobsmom's Journal

[Jacobsmom]

Okay, I am going to give this a shot, please be gentle!

I started a relatively new plan yesterday. Here is a little background on me... I used to be pretty good about working out and eating clean, then I got pregnant and had Jake and all things changed. I need to get back on track and get moving again. I am at my prepregnancy weight, but need to reshape things if you know what I mean! I need a lot of work on my legs and butt and hell.. how about a whole overhaul. I know that spot reducing is not possible, but there are areas that need a little more attention than others!!

I have started a running program to help with the legs and hope to lose quite a bit by June!

Here is today's plan:

6:00 am - Protein shake w/pb
8:15 am- Oatmeal with scoop of Polaner All Fruit and small dab of honey butter
10:15 am - Luna Bar
1:00 pm - chicken salad w/mayo (made at home) Not sure what else to add..any ideas would be appreciated...
3:30- Protein Shake w/ pb
6:30 - Fish and steamed veggies

I will workout from 11:45 to 12:45... running for 30 min and arms today

Hey ladies.. my name is actually Shannon!

As for eating so often..those are plans... in the morning I tend to be a little hungrier... most of my meals are about 3 hours apart..but that 10:30 luna bar is before I go to the gym at 11:30.. because I know I will be dying if I don't eat from 8:30 until 12:30 or 1. Also, I am usually so busy in the afternoons at work I usually don't get around to those afternoon snacks.. so I basically am not eating from 12:30-1:00 until dinner... and I don't eat after dinner. I am trying to stay away from starchy carbs at dinnertime as well. So we are trying to do just protein and veggies.

Okay.. that was a mouthful!! Thanks for checking on me!! I am going to post today's meal plan in a moment...but I am a little unprepared today!

 

[Stacey]
