Paleo vs Livestrong

So I've hit an age and body type

that

has forced me to really look at what I'm eating, ugh...

I exercise a lot...so it's gotta be my diet, bummer no more getting away with things...

I think I mentioned the Paleo diet before, well I felt great on it, but had a hard time excluding so many items from my daily life with three kids.

So.

I recently discovered Livestrong My Plate

This works for me and is something I can do on a daily basis.

It's so cool.

It puts you on a calorie amount each day and every meal you log what you eat, sounds a little tricky, right? 
Wrong.

Easy breezy.

I love it.

It deducts from total calorie's allowed each day and presto you can keep track of what your eating.

We have a laptop in the kitchen so this is really easy for me to log.

It's fun easy and motivating?

Has anyone else tried this?

No excluding items, just logging what you eat and staying within a certain caloric intake, easy.  With that said you do see where all your calories go...so I'm focusing on what I need to eat more and less of.
You log exercise as well so it's super helpful.

A Fight to get my body back after Twins...

So this may seem really lame to some of you, but i am definitely fighting to get my body back after twins. I didn't realize what a toll it took on me until i dove into the pool and started swimming with the Masters team; however it was swimming which help longate some lazy muscles and get me prepared for cycling and running again.

It is a fight though i mean you really have to make a conscious choice to get back into shape after babies. I have to say though that because i did nurse the twins for some time (longer than i thought) that really helped get the weight off initially (i dropped fast). One old man in the hospital asked me "do they have a treadmill in the maternity ward"... Thank you...that was nice...

In any case just to encourage all the moms out there and those that want to loose weight. Lately I have just made a decision on top of my normal exercise routine of swimming, running and cycling to just move a lot and also drop sugar. I've never had to take my eating to this extreme, but i'm there...I mean i am thirty four now i don't NEED sugar... I feel good....Lot's of tuna, salad, fruits, veggies...and LOTS Of moving. I don't want to be sedentary, i mean i have three kids...I've got to do it for my kids...and for me... It's a choice don't you all agree, but i tell you to all mom's out there that have child after child and get themselves back in shape so fast, "my hat goes off to you"... It is not a easy journey.

I'll post some new pictures soon...
