The plan

So as I am getting more into a regular routine as a full-time working mama I knew that it was time to get back into eating well and working out on a regular basis.
I looked at several options as I went back to work. I tried working out in the mornings with a new trainer at my local gym...I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON! Major kudos to all those who can wake up an extra 1.5 hours early to get it done and out of the way. I thought about going to the gym after picking the toddler up from daycare...to be honest I can only take the separation tantrum once a day (this may be a nice option as she gets a bit older and understands time a bit better)! So this leaves me with....??? A lunch workout! I have an amazing new gym facility just across campus from my office and the best part is, it's FREE! Yes Please, Thank You Very Much!
So I joined the campus gym last week and began my lunch workout routine this week. It felt great. I have a solid 30-40 minutes to get cardio in and still shower off and get back to my office for a quick meal. Since I would be using the majority of my lunch hour to workout I also needed to get better at packing a brown pink bag lunch. I prepped a weeks worth of lunches and snacks on Sunday and have been making delicious protein smoothies for a quick breakfast on the go.
Dinner is still a bit of an issue. I hate having to make two separate meals (healthy option for me, kid/hub friendly for the family). I have instead replaced my dinner with a protein smoothie which seems like a nice option that doesn't create a lot more work or should I say dishes!
As for the blog. I am keeping myself accountable. Tracking what I shovel into my pie hole as well as putting my weight and progress right out there for my friends and family to see. Those that know me well certainly know that this is HUGE!
