No weight loss. I've been trying to find my way...feeling depressed. I think I'm figuring it out. I've been making good choices and I'm in a regular habit of drinking green smoothies and eating lots of healthy salads. My problem is that before the end of the day I crave junk and usually give in to the craving. It's my mindset that has to change. I've started feeling more positive about things and really do have confidence that I'll lose this weight. I want to try to be about 75% raw foods with some type of healthy cooked food for dinner. I also plan to be more involved in twitter to support my Mamavation Sistas. I haven't been good at that lately because I feel like I'm such a mess that it's strange to encourage others. I guess I shouldn't really look at it that way.

Question: What are your strategies to fit everything into your busy life? Any areas you need to work on?
I'm not good with this. I especially struggle to fit it exercise. I feel like I'm always rushing, but I really think it's an issue of time management. I'm working on it.

I know what you're going through. Having smoothies and such throughout the day leaves you craving protein and carbs at night. Perhaps, eat a lean meat with veggies for dinner, and save for your last snack a smoothie with a big glass of water? I try to drink as much water at night as I can, even tea with Truvia, but there are nights that my body is still craving food (which is good, this means your metabolism is revved and plowing through what you're eating/drinking). I also have found some good, low calorie snacks. Did you know an entire bag of Natural Popcorn by Orville Redenbacher is only 50 calories, popped. The ENTIRE BAG. Eat only half, and it's only 25 calories with a huge glass of water. Food for thought, eh? (literally) :)
I haven't lost anything since I hit my 2nd milestone. So worried I've hit that plateau. Maybe we can cheer each other on. I crave the junk during that time of the month, which was why this weekend killed me. I did the no no. But trying to get back on. How do you convince yourself to stay on the healthy food instead of the snacks? Don't feel too bad I had a rough two weeks and wasn't a very supportive sista either. I think we all have our moments. I have a time management issue too. One tip I learned, drink water every time you want a snack and with each meal. It really makes it harder to snack.

It's interesting, I find I can go out and encourage others when I am low because it kind of allows me to 'hide' that I'm struggling.
Anyway. I see in your comments you got some good nutrition/snack suggestions. And I'd say keep connected with your Sistahs too! You CAN do this.
I just googled "working mom too busy to exercise" and I came across your blog. I praise your honesty and you documenting a struggle so many of us have. I wanted to suggest something that helped me lose some weight (i am still struggling to lose more!) It is called Walk Away the Pounds. It is a fun DVD I do after my baby goes to bed. Try it-- you will see results. take care :)
