We did the Yoga today and it felt so good!  I forgot how much I loved it!  I have a little cold - so it was especially nice to do it today.


I was thinking yesterday how it may be a little crazy to do this right now in the midst of Macie joining our family, but really it is so much better than what we were doing.  My mornings are so much more calm with doing 30 minute workouts instead of an hour.  I eat breakfast with T and the boys now. It is really nice.


I am still trying to figure out a menu that will work for us.  It needs to fit both our lifestyle and our budget.  Our grocery budget is $480 a month/$120 a week for all of us.  I also want to make things the kids will eat.  I will be posting our weekly meal plan on here once I figure it out.  I am hoping that as I eliminate things like buying 4 cereal boxes every week, crackers, bread, etc - it will free up enough of the budget to buy enough fruits/veggies. 

P90x3 Beginning

We started P90x3 yesterday.  I am loving it so far!  I have put myself to a challenge to complete the 90 days while sticking to the workout and the diet. 

Workout:  It is a little bit different because I am used to running for an hour and my an-aerobic exercise has been at least 45 minutes, so switching to 30 minute workouts feels like I am slacking!  It is definitely HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) and the 30 minutes are tough! 
Food: I have felt great over the last couple days.  I am excited to continue the program.  The eating plan is pretty simple.  It is just eating healthy and how we should be eating! Each person has a code of how many protein/carb/fat they should have for each meal/snack and you just have to figure out what to want that fits the code.  


It was an answer to prayer last week - once again.  I was REALLY snacky and binge ate for 2 days straight. I can always feel a loss of the spirit when I over-indulge.  I know the Holy Ghost leaves me.  I feel awful and Satan is in full force to tempt me to continue the gluttony or to become very depressed about myself. 
I plead with Heavenly Father to let me know why I was so snacky.  I wasn't feeling any sort of emotion or boredom that usually leads to my gluttony. 


He peacefully answered that it was because I was tired!  Yeah!! Of course it makes so much sense with our newborn - even only getting 6 hours of sleep instead of 7 was taking a toll on me.  I decided that when I felt those snacky feelings I would stop working, lay down, meditate and perhaps power nap for 10 minutes.  Now - I haven't officially done it yet - but I have stopped working and performed some breathing exercises.  That really seemed to help and the snacky feelings have dissipated.  Heavenly Father is so mindful of us. It is incredible!
