Lean Mom Checking In

I started (well, re-started) Lean Moms again a few weeks ago and I promised to update my progress. 

Diet: Let's be honest--it is Summer.  My children are home all day because of the rain.  I have been  eating a LOT of feelings.  But I am drinking my water and I am trying to eat as much real food as I can (except for the weekend I made these cookies because COME ON I AM ONLY HUMAN.)  I like Lean Moms because I feel like I have been given better information about what foods my body runs better on, and when I am "cheating" I am doing it knowingly.  I don't waste my time on mindless eating.

Exercise:  HOLY GRAVY I AM OUT OF SHAPE.  I have been using the Lean Moms At-Home Workout that consists mostly of bands and free weights and it is kicking my butt.  But my measurements are telling me that inches are slowly but surely moving here and there, and off of my choir-director arms.  YES.

Energy and Health:  This is the main reason I started Lean Moms again and I am thrilled with how my energy has climbed, and how much healthier I feel!  I am waking up earlier, doing more, and feeling all-around better.  My kids had some virus and (of course) I it---but it only kept me down for a day, as opposed to a week.  This is HUGE.  And today?  When Jooj went to swim lessons I decided to swim, too.  And I spent 45 minutes doing laps and can barely move my arms.  For a girl who, three weeks ago, couldn't get out of bed for more than three days in a row without needing antibiotics, I feel pretty awesome about lapping it up at the community pool. 

Now here is the cool part--Lean Moms has started a new program where you can try out the whole business and get access to the community--with workouts, recipes, and all of the Lean Moms to answer questions and cheer you on.  (True Story:  Mostly I just whine and people tell me I can do it and then my sister tells how she cracked a walnut with her glutes and then I feel motivated.  I love the community.)  For $7 you get a week of access, to see if it is for you.  So if you have been feeling like you wanted to try the program out, but have been feeling broke-ish, now is your chance.

I am off to eat some protein and ice my arms.  And probably beat the kids--let's be honest.

Disclaimer of things:  I paid for Lean Moms, and then they renewed it for me if I blogged but it was worth every penny I originally paid.  And if you click on links or something I get something, maybe, but I am not sure because I wasn't paying that much attention.  If I get a million dollars I will split it with you.
