Random Musings of One Tired Momma

Okay, folks, if you’ve decided to follow me on this journey, I will begin with a Day 1 update. I will post updates regularly, although not daily.

So, day 1 went okay. My daughters and I went through our exercise routine which includes the following stretches:

• flamingos
• knee lifts
• jumping jacks
• prayer hold
• straddles
• side, toe stretches
• butterflies
• snake

and then move into the actual exercises:

• pushups
• situps
• weight/arm lifts
• mountain climbers
• circle laps/jog in place
• lunges
• squats
• burpees
• leg lifts
• plank
• scissor planks

My plan for this challenge is to increase each exercise by 10 count/10 seconds every 10 days – starting at 10 for the first 10 days.

This first day was easy! We did all the exercises no problem. My food and fluid intake was no so great:

• 1 protein shake
• 1 basted egg
• slice of ham
• 1/2 C blueberries
• 1 1/4 C cottage cheese (lunch and supper combined)
• 2 Zevia
• water
• lemon pepper grilled chicken breast
• carrots
• 2 propel
• 1 quest protein bar
• pizza slice
• pizza toppings from remaining 3 slices of personal size pizza

I am working hard to stay away from sugar and breads, which is working out pretty well. I went from 4-6 cans of soda a day to no soda at all. I have changed regular soda to Zevia which took some getting used to. It tasted awful at first! But, they are my go-to when I feel the need for a soda!

Anywho, this was my first day. I want to start take better notes each day to add more helpful information to the updates! However, I hope you keep coming back! I can’t wait to share my journey!
