Over the past 2+ months I have started exercising. I see it as an issue of health. I want to be healthy whenever we are blessed with another pregnancy and I want to be around to experience my grandchildren and beyond. I know I need to lose weight, but I thought I would first start with the fitness thing. (It's kind of hard to think about losing weight when you're hoping to get pregnant.) I have been using Leslie Sansone's walking program. She has 1 mile, 2 mile, and a 3 mile walk on DVD and VHS. It uses hand weights, too. I usually do the 1 mile b/c the 2 mile kicks my butt. Also, I have been taking walks in the neighborhood with my boys during the morning. It's about 1.3 miles on the loop that I do. I have been very consistent in doing this at least 3 times per week--sometimes as much as 5 times per week. Haven't lost any weight yet, but I have been sleeping very well.
Any ideas to combat the late night snack attack? Many nights around 10:30 or so you can find us eating sushi, chips & salsa, or ice cream. If I stopped that, maybe I would lose weight, lol! Or how about snack ideas that are healthy.
Meanwhile I will trust God to take care of me and direct my ways...especially in how to care for my body, His temple.

Hi! Made it over here to check out pics of your cute kids. :) I'm all about doing weight watchers when I'm not pregnant . . . the last time I got serious about it (lost about 10-15 lbs.) we got pregnant. Go figure! My favorite late night snack when dieting is popcorn. Very filling. :)
If I have it in the house, then I eat it. So I have to not buy it. But I still do, just not that often. You need to ask Lettie to go walking with you.
Popcorn sounds good...if my daughter can put up with the smell :). I should drag Lettie on a walk with me. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so I'm reduced to the VHS or DVD walking.
