Update

It's been a while since I've posted anything about our Paleo Challenge.  We did the Paleo diet for one month, and then went off of it.  Since then, my poor eating habits have returned, as I feared they would.  We're actually getting ready to do another month long challenge to cleanse.  I hate how I eat.  I have such poor self control, which I really have no excuse, because I have done something I was never able to do before, so I should be able to change my eating.  I have stuck with doing my workouts since I had Jace.  I have outgrown my little Jillian Michael's DVDs, moved up in hand weights, and started running on top of working out.  I am now doing the Beach Body T-25 Total Focus DVDs and I LOVE them.  I had no idea I could like working out.  I've grown to where I'm a little addicted to it, and will put certain things aside to workout, or wake up earlier, or even be a little late to some things, just so I can get my workout it.  I function so much better if I do.  When I miss my work outs, I can totally feel a difference.  I hate it.  I also have started running outside, right after my work out since i'm already warm and ready to go.  I started my nursing program 2 weeks ago, and I have class at 930 AM tuesdays and thursdays, and I HAVE to workout before I go.  I sacrifice my getting ready time to work out, and just go to class as I am, still sweaty and stinky I'm sure.  Sucks for everyone else, but I don't care, because it helps me focus in class so much better, and stay awake.  I feel like I learn better.  Now if I can just discipline my body about eating as well as I have with fitness.  Life has gotten much busier for all of us.  Me going to school has affected everyone, but I feel like we are adjusting well.  Buck received a boat that he got for free and it has become his full time project.  Kallan has become friends with the neighborhood kids and he is always off playing with them.  Jace is finally crawl/scooting and he's constantly trying to keep up and get in on the action.  I'm gone more, and my free time is now being shared with text books.  Life is crazy, but it's good and we're doing okay.  And it will be over before we know it, and worth it.  I'm ready for summer, to not be pregnant or had just had a baby, and I'm ready to spend time with my family on the weekends because the week is pretty consumed with school.  I'm determined to get my body in shape, and healthy, and train my mind to eat better, to help my workouts pay off.  I'm doing all this hard work and then just throwing it away basically with what I eat.  I'll work on it and update later on how it's going.  Until then, I'll just try to keep up with everything.
