Exercise

I'm starting exercising this week more than I was exercising last week. And I'm going to stop putting my eating habits on the back burner to Jocelyn's. I find myself, when I grocery shop, getting everything that Jocelyn wants/needs then just getting whatever for me. My whatever usually includes fruit snacks, chips, mac n cheese, etc. Easy stuff. Ya know...easy to get in your mouth and hell to get off your body weight wise. I buy all fresh fruit, veggies, lunch meat, cheese, etc. for Jocelyn. I like all the same things as she does but I "feel bad" if I eat "her" apples...or "her" tomato slices. I'm going to just start buying double. And putting her food in a section of the fridge that way I know what is hers and what is mine to eat. I'm sure it sounds kinda dumb but I can't put myself before her. I'd rather suffer eating junk than see her eating a crapload of chips and cookies. Eating junk was a lot easier when I was pregnant because I was supposed to gain weight. Now I'm exercising 3 days a week and still gaining weight while trying to watch what I eat. But if I eat healthy I won't eat at all because I don't have healthy food for myself.

So here is my plan: Monday and Tuesday
I will be doing ---
100 reverse crunches
100 jumping jacks
100 leg beats
50 lunges each leg
50 leg lifts each leg
100 sidebends

Wednesday Thursday and Friday
I will be doing---
30 minutes to an hour long brisk walk around the neighborhood.

The reason I'm blogging this besides accountability on my behalf is I'm looking for a partner. A mom. Who can make time to work out even on a schedule. Someone I can count on, on certain days to be ready to walk. Or go to the gym. I used to exercise with my sister when she was at Spring Arbor because she could get me into the gym for free. Now she is at U of M so I'm SOL. I can exercise by myself but it would be nice to have someone to talk to while walking. My biggest issue is Jeff weight trains at Planet Fitness on Mon/Wed/Fri night around 8pm after Jocelyn goes to bed. My workout buddy before my sister was Jimmy. And he is now Jeff's workout buddy since he needs a spotter more than I need someone telling me to run for 10 more minutes.

So here is my schedule: Going to Planet Fitness ($10 a month btw) or an exercise class would have to be Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday during the week it would have to be after 6pm weekend could be any time.

Walking would be Wed/Thurs/Fri during the day anytime.

Going to the gym T and Th night then walking the rest of the week would be ideal.
