Week Four Check-In

Body - I'm actually feeling smaller and my clothes are getting baggy, so some progress.
Endurance - still getting my arse kicked by my work out DVDs. It makes me feel like they must be working though, so that is good.
Diet Progress - great progress this week-I skipped last week because I was in NY for DS's Christening. I tried to be good but was afraid I gained because of all the food and because I didn't check in for a week. Instead, I was down 4.2, bringing me to 32.4 totalChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
Workout Progress - Started new mini goal to alternate 30DS and Cardio Max DVDs for 30 days straight. Finished day 6 yesterdayChat Icon

Just hoping I can stay on track-I would like to hit the 35 lb mark in the next 2 weeks (this will be hard because we have guests!)



AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!

check in! Chat Icon

wowsers, last week was a busy week!
did some sort of physical activity (30ds, fios on demand exerciseTV, etc) everyday, but didn't get to c25k at all Chat Icon

Didn't weigh in yet, will do it tonight or tomorrow morning. Got into some 2007 pants today - these date back to when I first started at my current job and when I got married! Chat Icon

I've made good food choices, and I'm getting much much better at portion control. The baby is also sleeping later in the morning, so i have time to throw together eggwhites for myself and have a decent breakfast. Chat Icon

I'm also off the prednisone I've been taking for my chronic hives, so I'm less swollen. I've gotten several compliments and while it makes me blush, it feels good.

...25 days til sister's wedding...

Girls I've been bad, bad, bad.Chat Icon Help me!!

I think I did 30 day shred about 5 times over the last two weeks. Last week was nuts so I never got around to it...and now I've fallen off the wagon. And how ridiculous, this workout is all of 20 minutes!!!

Seriously though...coming from the way I used to work out - an hour & a half every day - 20 minutes seems like a total joke. I wasn't believing it. Has anyone had success with just doing 30ds?

I think I'm just waiting until school is out, and I finally have my days to get a good workout in. Then Riley & I will be going to stroller strides.

Week 4


Body - I was so excited, because I finally fit into an outfit I haven't worn in about 3 years. Down 2 shirts sizes and one pant size!
Endurance - I'm doing much better with running. I noticed that I can run for longer than c25k asks for, and when I can sprint for about 30 seconds
Diet Progress - Still on track with WW. One small indulgence this week, but overall very good
Workout Progress - Doing c25k 3x a week. Biggest Loser DVD on days I can't make it anywhere. I actually did the high intensity cardio on that dvd without feeling like I could die


And, I'm down 3 lbs this week! This is my 6th week of diet/exercise and I've lost 22 lbs



you are doing a freaking awesome job! You must be SO proud of yourself!

Just got to get back up, there is no magic recipe for this! I think 5 times in 2 weeks between work and the little one is great!!!! Youve just got to do what you can and and keep at it whenever you can!!! If you have even less time, Ive been doing the "perfect abs" DVD which has 8 min workouts, or try this one which has 5 or 10 minute workouts you can sneak in

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Couldn't do C25k as DH had a meeting until 7 tonight then was going to pick up a free A/C we are getting (ha!) So I was on DS duty (which I think is a workout in itself!)

HOWEVER he went out at 7 and I came into the den and instead of plopping down on the couch I just did

Excercise TV 21 day cardio 1 (I'm sweating my A * * off right now & it was only 20 minutes) & then I did a 10 minute ab workout, ( i have no idea which one, I just picked one and went with it)

Today I ate

B-fast: Iced Coffee (sorry I can't live without)
WW Banana Nut Muffin (why do they always have to be so sticky)

Lunch: leftover grilled greek chicken, with reduced fat feta & yogurt sauce & strawberries

Dinner- cucumber salad earlier when I was feeding DS & now I'm going to make a turkey hot dog (no bun)

Dessert- skinny cow flying saucer! Chat Icon

I skipped my one glass of red wine tonight too! haha (mostly b/c I'm alone with DS but still, I skipped it!!)

Had to share b/c I realized after talking with my sister & the awesome FM with Hayley, *I* can only help myself, so maybe I have to update this everyday and annoy you all

YAY Dev, good for you! Im proud of you!

Heres the thing, I was thinking about you before and look, you can either do something about it now and get it over with, even if you dont want to, or live for the next 2 years hating the way you look and thinking about it all the time.

love you!

Week Four Check-In:

Body - Down another ~1 lb - 4 lbs away from mini-goal, 8 lbs away from goal!
Endurance - Pretty darn good considering I never sleep as much as I'd like.
Diet Progress - I've been sticking to WW religiously during the week; this weekend I was away at a family wedding so I just tried to make healthy choices - fruit, veggies, egg whites, steamed meat/fish, nothing fried...ok maybe a few things fried but not much Chat Icon
Workout Progress - Wasn't able to do much this weekend from being away but I have kickboxing and spinning alternating between today and Friday - so I'm guaranteed at least 4 hard workouts this week!

Great job everyone else!!!!!! You are motivating me! Chat Icon

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Body - down 1 pound from last week
Endurance - getting better slowly but surely
Diet progress - herein lies the problem, but I re-committed to entering everything I eat in my calorie count analysis thing, started again yesterday. I am doing net 1300 calories a day, Saturdays off from counting but still make decent choices.
Workout progress - I worked out 4 of 7 days last week, going to add a 5th day this week. I am going to stay with elliptical this week again before resuming C25K next week, I need to make sure my knees are fully better.

Congrats to all of those with success this week and good luck to those of us that have fallen off the wagon. You ladies are true motivators!

Body - Down .7 No change.

Endurance - I can feel my legs getting stronger & my breathing getting much better.

Diet Progress - I do sooo good during the week & then the weekends kill me. I didn't eat lunch on Saturday because I was running around so much that by the time I got to a BBQ I just about ate anything that was nailed down. :eyeroll: It was actually disgusting.

Workout Progress - I totally slacked this weekend. I have in my schedule to do c25k on Tuesday, Thursday & Sundays. This weekend it didn't happen. I also didn't workout any other days. I really love doing the c25k, but it's impossible based on DH's schedule for me to get a run in on M&W. I just need to take the time on the weekend to get it done.
