Back to me

       Back to me...

  March 4th was a magical day for me, it marked the birth of my 3 child but besides being blessed with another beautiful daughter it was the day I got to turn over a new leaf in my life the day I finally got back to me.
  Now as most mothers know with three kids making it about you is never easy especially in a situation like mine. my eldest Logan is 5 and my two girls Rylee 14 months and my baby Emma only a few weeks. So my girls are nice and close together which means not a lot of time to get back to me. But I am ready to make time. my husband and I decided at the beginning of this pregnancy that this was going to be our last baby we were both happy with three and with our girls being so close, new it was going to be hard enough let alone start all over again in a year or two so baby Emma is our last. 
  With this decision set in stone and after a long 9 month wait I decided it was time to get me back in shape and healthy and not only did I decided this the hubby did to. So about a week ago we started. We got rid of all the junk food and in came the vegetables. But its been a week and I can not get into it as well as he is I mean he is working out hard core lifting weights doing insanity which I tired and I am now convinced my husband is insane. He is even taking supplements and almost completely cut out soda another reason I think hes insane and even after watching him and seeing how much better he feels and how good he is feeling about himself even only after a week I still cant get into the whole thing. I have worked out a few times and I am really trying to eat better but I want results NOW with as little effort as possible because after a long day with my kids and cleaning cooking and cleaning some more and don't even get me started on the amount of diapers the last thing I want to do is put my kids to sleep and stand on my feet some more. I really be leave most mother would agree with me. So I sat down tonight looking for quick ways to get my pre mommy body back or you know as close as possible we all know after three kids we cant look like we did at 18 but like I said as close as possible. So I went searching and found so many websites and diets gyms you name it I looked into it and then I came across something that caught my eye and something I thought I would never think of trying but here I am starting a blog to help me through.
  Kassandra avid chicken lover since i was born has decided to go vegan. I know shocker for me to I can not even be leave I am actually thinking of doing this but I am and that little voice in my head is telling me you can do this. So we are all clear on this vegan is short for vegetarian and after today short for me. Now when I first started considering this I thought oh I no what this is no meat I got this I can do it but wait no there's more so much more not dairy or eggs.... Yeah I no I was like WHAT to but its true no meat dairy or eggs after reading that I was a little more skeptical but that little voice chimed in again and told me you can do this so I started looking into it more and found out some of the benefits to my health were really awesome.
  Let me just point out some of these benefits before you all think I have really gone of the deep end.Eating less red meat lowers your risk for heart disease the number one killer of woman. To lose weight, a recent Dr. went on the Dr.Oz show and said that cutting out meat and adding more nutritious vegetables can help you lose weight fast and keep it off and with this you get to eat more food rather then starve yourself. Thank god for that cause that is one of the number one reasons why I no I cant do all most all diets I love to eat and cook and when u love to eat what you cook it makes it super hard to diet unless you have a whole family who needs a diet then you may have it easier then me. But with this I can still cook and eat and feed my family food they will like and actually eat and not only all that but food that is good for them.
So now we all know why I am writing this I am hoping if i put down my struggles and triumphs in this new lifestyle then it will be easier to stick with it which is a problem I have a BIG problem. So I'm going to write as much as possible and really try to stay with this.
