Staying on the healthy road

Trying to stay on track with eating a little bit better isn't as difficult as I thought, but I find myself making the same meals and snacks. What can I say, I'm a creature of habit. If it ain't broke why fix it, right? However I managed to come up with a few more new meals and snacks to help us stay on track.

Honey flavored greek yogurt with grapes, strawberries & bananas

Chocolate peanut butter banana smoothies
(We sometimes have these by themselves for snacks, but I will also have these with eggs for breakfast)

Baked potato with homemade salsa
(I know it's not the prettiest, but very delicious)
(It's not a jumbo potato, it's on a salad plate :0) )

I've also made a few adjustments to my exercise routine. Most of it was working for me, but I started to notice that on the days that I was scheduled to do cardio on the elliptical I was finding ways to avoid it or simply get out of it. I like the elliptical, but  lets face it, it can be extremely boring. I used to wait until Rory was asleep, whether during a nap or at night, to get on the elliptical. But more times than none, he would wake up before I was done or I would just be too tired to do it. I would tell myself that I would definitely make up the missed cardio session the next day. But then that would lead to me missing the following day's workout because I just didn't want to do the cardio I swore I would do. So I decided to move the elliptical workouts to the mornings that I didn't have to leave the house early. Fortunately  for me that's only two days a week. By moving my cardio sessions to the morning, it gives me plenty of time to complete them and eliminates my excuse that I'm too tired to do them. The two days that I can't do the elliptical in the morning, I decided to move my pregnancy DVD to those days. It has cardio built into it so I don't need to do the elliptical. And even though I don't have to be anywhere on Sunday mornings, to even out my routine, I decided to do my pregnancy DVD instead of the elliptical. Here is my revised routine:

Monday morning: Elliptical 20 mins

Monday afternoon: Pilates Legs

Tuesday: Pregnancy DVD

Wednesday morning: Elliptical 20 mins

Wednesday afternoon: Pilates Arms

Thursday: Pregnancy DVD

Friday morning: Elliptical 20 mins

Friday afternoon: Pilates Legs

Saturday morning: Elliptical 20 mins
Saturday afternoon: Pilates Arms

Sunday: Pregnancy DVD
