*Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

Okay I thought I would start another challenge since I was a complete failure with the 30 day shred one!

I'm thinking:

Couch to 5k program - 3days/week
Abs exercises - 3 days/week
REST - 1 day/week

Anyone want to join me? I really need some help being motivated and committed! I have about 10 more lbs to lose and want to get my belly back!

I found some other podcasts where they use newer music (no techno!! kanye, beyonce, etc) for the couch to 5k.

And then I'm thinking for abs... we can look for any Exercise TV (on demand) 10 minute ab routines...

So, who's in???

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

I so wish I could commit to something like this but I know me and I am the worst...but I wanted to chime in and tell you in December I bought an ab video (Perfect Abs (2005) by Meghan White) I love it because it's like 8/9 different ab videos that are strictly abs, no frills, no crazy warm ups. Pick your workout and hit play and it goes right into abs. I thought I would recommend!

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

I am starting week 4 of C25k! I am still doing 30 day shred!

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

I'm in week 5 of C25K and just starting the Brazilian Butt Lift program. I'm so excited for something new. I've bee doing 30 day shred on and off for a few months and love it I just needed a change.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

Im in! I totally fell off the getting my @ss in shape wagon after mod February...I even started smoking again, after having quit for 10 weeks!!!!!!!

Today, before I even read this.....I ordered the 30 day shred, perfect abs DVD, bought myself the patch to quit AGAIN, joined WW and went for a walk/run after work...oh and I bought myself some new workout clothes.

This was perfect timing for me for this post!

ETA: I have about 15 pounds to lose (ill call it baby weight, but DS is 2.5yrs, LOL). Plus I just overall really need to be healthier! You should XPOST on parenting for all the mommies who dont venture over here.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

when will it start?

i'm ready to do c25k, but i lack to motivation to get up in the morning.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

im in!! i started the c25k last week, but i never did the 3rd day! so i may have to start over.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

For 30 days ? I can do it if its for 30day ..... but Im not a mom is that ok :) ?

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

Hayley, as your friend, I will commit to support you, but I am doing the elliptical instead every other day except when I am in NY, where I will do the treadmill every other day. And the elimination diet for Miss Sienna.

I was going to use the 30 day shred for the strength exercises because I like them.

So here is my plan thus far:

Elliptical-30 minutes every other day, 4-5 resistance

Off days-either strength from 30 day shred, swimming

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

I'll join!!! My goal is to run at least 5 days a week. I also just ordered/won Turbo Jam on Ebay and I want to do that atleast 3 days a week (if it ever gets here)

My birthday is in 6 weeks and I would love to lose at least 10lbs by then. I have 68lbs to lose but I am just going to focus on small goals.

I need to get myself a joggin stroller so I can take DS with me when DH is not home to watch him.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

So my plan is to start on Monday for good. This is when I will start with taking progress pics too. Maybe if I get brave I will post.

Couch to 5K
Mon
Weds
Thurs


Perfect Abs DVD on my lunch break
JM 30 Day Shred in the evening
Tues
Friday
Saturday

Sunday rest.

Today is day 2 of not smoking, I made it through yesterday. Monday I start WW.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

alright, I'm going to try this one. Only b/c my sister convinced me by showing me new cute workout clothes Just Kidding! I really need some motivation b/c I have ZERO and I'm getting mad at myself for it.

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

Glad people are joining!

I'll put everyone's names at the top when we see who wants to join!

I think I'm going to wait and start on Monday because I want to go get fitted for REAL sneakers.... the only ones I have are like AirMax 95s

Do you think it would be worth it to get an IPOD shuffle so I can download the podcasts for C25k? I'm thinking if I spend the $$ on sneakers and the Ipod... it might be more motivation to stick to it, KWIM?

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

for anyone else interested in cute workout clothes.....

I got a bunch at walmart, Im sure they arent the best quality, but they are workout clothes. Plus I didnt want to spend a fortune in case I didnt stick to it.

Walmart has all different 2 packs of shorts, shirts, tanks, pants, stretch capris for working out for like $10-$15 per pack.

I also found these podcasts that are techno free (thank god)http://gonicoleyourself.blogspot.com/2008/06/couch-to-5k-podcast-page.html

You can also get a refurbished shuffle for up to half off at the mac store online

Re: *Mommy Makeover Challenge - Anyone in?

I am in. I want to lose about 20 pounds - my goal is to get there or close to it by Labor Day.

My plan is to do Couch to 5K Tuesday and Thursday, elliptical Saturday, and walk with the stroller Fri/Sun/Mon as long as it's nice out.

I am looking forward to staying motivated with you girls!

I think maybeamommy should start an "official mommy makeover challenge" post with a start date, where we can log our progress.
