January 5th 2015

Today marks the start of my 90 challenge.  I am starting my upgrade.  My upgrade to be healthier, fitter, and a better mother and wife.  Today is day 1 of my Bikini Body Mommy Challenge 3.0.

I love Briana's workouts.  I have attempted her challenges in the past, and have yet to complete one.  This one will be different.  Different why?  I am also doing a 30 day paleo challenge.  Also started on January 5th.  This is a semi following.  I found the site on Robins Sweet Confessions.  So far it's been a challenge on dinners.  I have never had this many dinners in a row not turn out.  But I will not give up.

Work out first:  This was our fit test day.  Whew! That was tough.  Weigh ins, measurements, and photos.  Only makes me more and more motivated.  I mean in the big scheme of things I'm really not too bad.  I try to eat pretty healthy, I just snack too much.  Especially at night.  I want to feel comfortable looking at myself naked in front of a mirror.  I want to look at myself at the beach and feel hot even after having two kids.
I can't wait until day 15 when we have our weigh in, measurements, progress photos.

Nutrition:  Ok I don't consider this to be a diet this is more a change of life.  I challenged Allen to do this with me.  We will see how long that continues.  It's hard for me to have to plan and prep and pack 5 meals a day for all of us.  A lot of work and pressure on me.

First things first is HYDRATION!!!  I find her way of breaking it down really works for me.  8 oz of water before you get out of bed.  8 oz at breakfast, and 16 oz before lunch.  8 oz at lunch, 16 oz before dinner and 8 oz at dinner.  I have found this easy and I have been so thirsty.  I am pretty sure I went above 64oz today.

For breakfast I had 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, and my coffee. Which I cheated and put regular creamer in.
Lunch I had: tuna salad wrapped in lettuce.
I snacked on celery dipped in sunflower butter.
dinner we had: baked chicken with sauteed baby spinach. (yum yum)

Had a hard time not snacking, I mean really hard!!!!

But I made it :)
