The first weekend!

I get nervous about diet and exercise when the weekend rolls around! Between catching up with friends, trying to run all of our errands and just being at home with the family, things can be a little 'lazy'. During the week I really have to plan out the day, which includes dinner and usually we stick to a good diet for all other meals and snacks.

James wants to have friends over when he is in town for the weekend, which usually means 'entertainment food.' Would you like to go to some one's house for dinner and be served veggies in hummus or other things that a healthy diet includes? Usually we indulge in things we know aren't great while we are in entertainment mode.

To solve this dilemma I will be referring to the numerous magazine recipes that I cut out of Shape magazine, Women's Fitness and other healthy magazines. I know that some may be duds, but again I will share what I find out! Wish us luck, this is a really hard thing for us to transition...we just love great food, which usually means too good to be good for you!

Week One!

This is the start of something really exciting! My business partner, Claire, and I are officially cutting the baby fat! We are the owners of an event planning company, and we both had babies in 2008...which means, busy schedules, short nights and not too much time to workout!

We have decided to do workouts with our new babies, Miles and Lola. They are with us so much that if we are going to workout - they are going to have to do it with us! Miles is 6 months old, and he makes the perfect substitution for a medicine ball. We are working on our moves for a few weeks, and I will certainly share what is working and what isn't working along the way!

With a husband who travels a few nights a week, and swimming lessons for Cooper, our 2 year old and family obligations....I welcome the opportunity to take a few minutes a day to spend alone with Miles, and work on my post-baby body! I will also weigh in weekly and let you know what the results are there too!
