My previous lifestyle

Before the 24 Day Challenge (May 27, 2013)

      I am a single mother of a two year old. My days normally consist of waking up two or more times at night and nightmare/night terrors that keep me from a restful nights sleep. I wake up (between 7:30am and 8am), get ready for work- get my son ready for daycare and head on my way.
  
      I woke only 4-5 days a week, because daycare is too expensive and my sons father alternates weekends with me. I get off at 5 so that I can pick up my son in time. We head home, which at least once a week I can't help but stop at Krispy Kreme for a little "deserved" treat. I clean my house and wait for my boyfriend to come home. We make a relatively healthy dinner, get Jaden in bed, watch a movie- then turn in for the night. Usually we fall asleep between 10:30pm and 11:30pm.

     I started working out at the gym a month ago. I go to Zumba on Mondays and Core Yoga on Thursdays. A week ago, but boyfriend and I have started the Couch to 5k run. We runabout a mile total. The app on my phone has us walk for 5 min (warm up), then run for 1 min (8 time), then walk for 1.5 min (6 times), and end with a 5 min walk. Every two days I do about 200 crunches and 100-120 random leg and thigh exercises (both crunches and leg workouts stemmed from 8 Min Abs and 8 Min Buns). Working out and cardio has been an issue with me. I have a small lung capacity which makes working out much harder to do. I can do 12 pushups right now before I really start shaking.

     My normal diet consisted cereal in the morning.. for lunch, it would consist of eating out- I would pick the "healthy choice" on occasion. Usually it would be taco bell burritos or Spiteris Sandwiches- the sometimes Mountain Mikes Hot Wings would come into play being that I work next door to them. I also wouldn't start my day without coffee from work or a Dutch Bros. Iced White Zombie (would get it 1-2 times a week). For dinner, it was usually whatever my boyfriend would like. Sometimes we would eat at home- but mostly we would eat out. I would have a soda usually once a meal- I barely drank water. Maybe a glass of water- Total- a day
.

     Goals: My goal is to be healthy. I want to get my body back in shape so that I can be able to play with me son without getting tired so quickly. I want to feel good and look good. Right now, I just do not feel like myself. Right now I feel chunky and on the inside I just feel gross. I want to be able to contain my sweet tooth and not have it control me. I want to love natural sugars more than artificial. I am fine with my weight as long as I start losing the fat on my belly and my hips. The muffin top has got to go!
