Weight Loss Update...and Confession

So this week I was terrible at getting in my 30 Day Shred workout. The temperature has finally dropped below 100 degrees outside, and I have been spending my mornings at the neighborhood park with some of the neighborhood mommies or walking the dog. Plus, this week Luca has been on a napping strike during the day. He hasn't been fussy, just wide awake and not at all interested in napping. Needless to say my workouts have suffered...as well as the house cleaning. Oh well, it just means more time with my favorite little guy! That being said, I had somehow dropped down to 133.4 at my last weigh in. Now, I am certain that has gone up a bit due to my slacking off this week, but I hope I can get going in the right direction again soon. I go back to work in a week (ahhhhh!) so I am really going to have to push myself to fit it all in. I will finish the 30 Day Shred, I will finish the 30 Day Shred....

Weight Loss Update!

Ok...I guess this is the end of week 4 for my 30 Day Shred. I have been doing the video 4 days a week, except this week I was bad because I got a flu shot and pertussis shot to protect my little guy and my arms are soooooo sore! So, I technically lost count of the days but I am pretty sure I have completed a total of 13 days out of 30. I am currently weighing in at 135.2, which means I am down close to 4lbs I believe. I'll take that. It's coming off slower than I would like, but it's coming off. 15lbs until I reach my goal weight! I can see and feel a difference in my body just from doing the video. I feel a lot less jiggly and overall more fit. I am getting stronger, and that's important. I know eventually I will see my efforts pay off more on the scale. I also purchased a used jogging stroller on Craig's List so I can start running. I miss running, and with my handy new jogging stroller I can drag Luca and Tevez along with me. We took it for a test drive this morning because the weather was absolutely beautiful here! I think I am really going to like being able to jog with Luca and Tevez and it was surprisingly easy to run with the stroller and my wild dog. Hopefully I will still have enough energy when I go back to work. Ideally I would love to be able to sign up for a 5k in January or February...but that may be a little ambitious.

Weight Loss Update: 5 Days Out of 30...DONE!

I posted a week or two ago about losing the baby weight. Last week I started the 30 Day Shred.

I have always been a Jillian Michaels fan thanks to my Biggest Loser addiction (new season starts soon!). I have always wanted to try her 30 Day Shred, and after I got the go ahead from my doctor at my post partum visit I was excited to get going! I have been motivated to lose the last 20lbs I am hanging onto...well, actually I am only about 15lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight but I would like to push myself to go a bit further since I was a little on the chubbier side before I got pregnant. So, last week I squeezed in 4 days of The 30 Day Shred, and I am proud of that because last week was rough with Luca being so fussy. I weighed in last Monday at 139.6, and today at 138.4....down a little over a pound! I would say that is a decent start. I am going to shoot for getting in at least 5 days of exercise this week and today's workout is done! I will do mostly 30 Day Shred, but I would like to try for a jog since my ultimate goal is to get back into running. I will admit though, I have not been that great with my eating because breastfeeding makes me famished all. the. time. I am going to keep trying though! I am going to keep you all posted on my progress with the 30 Day Shred!
