You have already had your first victory by making the decision to start this diet and give yourself a healthy body and lifestyle. Even better that that is the example you will set for your girls.
I am also a mommy who is 30 and I have 1 daughter (14) and 2 boys (6 & 15 months). They keep me busy, but I was tired of being too tired to play with them or after a few minutes want to sit down.
I did not want my daughter to grow up and struggle with the weight like I have especially after having babies.
A suggestion about your veggies would be to check out some threads like having fun with veggie purees, and look at the sticky with Rainbows recipes. Her threads are called mixin it in the kitchen with rainbow. AWESOME!
Totally worth the time to read through and pick up a few recipes to try. I have made the cauliflower rice, the wildberry yogurt cookies, big mac in a bowl, and zucchini oatmeal muffins.
You sound like you are also starting a very active exercise routine. My only caution about too much activity can help your body gain muscle which is good, but muscle also weighs more on the scale than fat so keep that in mind with your weigh ins. Also you want to be sure that your muscles are fed after strenuous activity. If you have a good relationship with your coach then she can assist you in your exercise and weight loss goals.
I wish you all the best and keep posting on the daily chat thread. There are many people who are on the same journey and we are here for each other every step of the way.
