So both Matt and myself like to stay in shape. That said we are both partial to drink together and enjoy a chocolate here and there but who doesn’t? I think last year having a baby and taking the reasoning of “the baby weight will slip off slowly throughout the year” has not helped either of us though and juggling work and the kids has made us slip a little with our ways.
Lucky for us both Matt is an amazing cook!
And we both are not fussy. So this year we have made a promise to ourselves to lose the weight we have gained since our youngest was cooking away in the belly.
Our definite no no on this journey though is not giving up alcohol completely as at the end of the day it’s our treat at the end of a hard week at work. Cutting back and not being tempted by a glass of wine on a school night is our first step.
Water, something I’m pretty good at drinking at work, Matt not so much. I purchased these bottles from Amazon to attempt to keep us both on track with hitting that 2 litres a day marker.
Lots of lovely homemade cooked meals involving a variety of different foods, we particularly like fish.
Exercise. It’s not the key to looking amazing. If you don’t follow it up by eating well then it won’t make a lot of difference. You have to stay consistent too. We have different ways of keeping fit. Matt is into weight training, which I may have a go at myself as we have a set at home now. On the other hand ever since the Covid lockdown my go to has been Insanity and more recently Insanity Max 30. I can’t fault it, especially as a busy Mum of three. I also enjoy a bit of running when I can get out alone.
Let’s see if it works. First weigh in 1st of February. We also think a weekly weigh in can mess with your head a little in the way of progress if you don’t lose a lot so a monthly weigh in is what we are going for.
This is our life; this is our dream
