I had another good week. This past week ended a 5 week rotation I put together. It was emphasised in cardio and weight training for lower body doing an endurance type method with machines and some free weights. Here is my results, and I'm pretty happy:
I lost about 1.5 lbs - which is awesome since that wasn't the goal, I'm now under my prepregnancy weight - which is MORE than a surprise, last time it took me 6 months of working out (10 months post partum) to get to my prepregnancy weight! I lost .5 inch in the upper thighs (thank God!!!), .5" in my natural waist line, and .25" in the hips - I'm now at my previous messurement for hips! I still a little bit to go down in my stomach, and definately don't have my fourpack back - put all in due time, and it's something to inspire me to Another future goal is to get my endurance and stamina back so I can do longer runs that I was able to achieve in Dec 04 (5 mile runs). And because I kinda neglected my upper body in this rotation due to time, I want to emphasis that soon as well. My biggest accomplishment is being able to fit back into my FAV Banana Republic jeans!!! Their my "good butt" jeans IYKWIM!
This week I did:
Monday-Wednesday: nada
Thursday: lower body weights and eliptical on level 12, abs = 1 hour 15 min
Friday: elliptical, and 150 walking lunges, abs = 1 hour 10 min
Saturday: elliptical, abs = 50 mins
Sunday: lower body weights, abs = 45 min
Due to DH's busy schedule this month we opted to suspend our membership for the month of March. I'm way bummed cause I'm not sure how I'm gonna fit in my workouts now. DH says he'll watch the kids at home for me, but in a 1200 ft apartment it doesn't leave a lot of room for my son to play. I think I'll be running a lot this month to get that alone personal time working out has given me.
So a big move in our home was made this weekend, we moved DD into her crib in DS's room. I needed sleep bad, she moves a lot and I've been waking up 2-3 times a night to nurse, and in sleep limbo from like 5-6:30. (I'm hoping moving her will show me just how much she actually needs to nurse, sometimes I think I've reacted to quickly to nurse her cause she has woken me up - we'll see, 2x's is doable, 3 times sucks!) Needless to say I've been a crank so I"m hoping this works out. So far it seems promising! (PLEASE GOD, let me get off easy with this kiddo, K????!)
So that's me
Marcy - you are doing so awesome with your workouts! You encourage me a lot!
Petra - how is your back doing? I hope it's healing well.
Lynnie - is the brace helping any?
