I was away over the weekend, so I'm starting everything today.
Initial WI - Oh Lordy!
Start c25k tonight, so I'll report back tomorrow on my endurance.

ETA: Since I tend to see inches lost faster than lbs I'm having DH do my measurements tonight.

Sat.. only did 8 min abs/ 8 min arms DVD with 3 lb weights.

Sun.. did 20 min on elliptical plus 2 reps of 15 on 3 different leg machines & 1 arm machine.

Mon.. DAY 1 of 30 day shred & my endurance was terrible. I couldn't even get through the entire DVD. I may be doing this longer than 30 days.

Tues.. Feel no soreness from yesterday's 30 day shred DVD. DS just went down for a nap & I never know how much time he'll nap for so I am going to start 8 min abs/ arms ASAP.

Nicole
10mos post partum
I currently weigh less than the day I got my BFP, but I'm still heavy. I'm taking steriods for an autoimmune situation I have going on, so I'm constantly bloated and still look pg.

I have PCOS, so I find cutting carbs is the only way I lose weight.

I'm down 11lbs in the last month, but it all came off my hips/thighs. My top half and stomach are my biggest problem areas.

Diet:
Low GI diet (basically I eat like a diabetic)
1200 cals a day
Increased water intake


Workout Plan:
continue to walk the baby in the stroller every night
sit ups before bed
maybe try a DVD
[I'm very limited in my exercise time. I have between 10, sometimes 10:30 and 11pm and that's about it.]


Goal:
I need to lose 50lbs total, but I don't think that's realistic. I haven't weighed that since middle school. I'd love it though!

I'd ideally like to drop 20lbs before my sister's wedding 7/16.

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

This was my first week on Weight Watchers and when I weighed in today I was -1.8 which isn't bad considering the crazy holiday weekend we had!

I would like to lose about 50 lbs to be back to my prepreggo size.

Completed W1D1 of c25k - Chat Icon
What a night - I had a minor breakdown because it started pouring just as DH came home. DS woke up & it ended up being the first night of CIO. Between the two & me REALLY wanting to start this I just did it. Thankfully the rain cleared before my warm up ended.
I completed it. Need to change my route - just so happens that every time I had to run I was going up a hillChat Icon

Now to find a video for tomorrow night. I have so many - some still in wrappersChat Icon I want to be prepared so I have no excuses.

just did day one of the JM 30 Day SHred.....I think I saw the light....you know the one people talk about right when you are about to die, LOL.

That was NO joke!

I also did day 1 of week 2 of the c25k today.

Im not normally going to do the DVD and the c25k on the same day, but I cheated and had Burger King for dinner so I felt I needed to.

HOLY MAGNOLIA!

I did my first day of Couch to 5k yesterday and WOW... I must be REALLY out of shape!

That was incredibly difficult for me! I honestly didn't think I was going to make it through. I almost stepped off because I was dying, but then it said it was my LAST run - so I pushed through! Even with the 5 minute cool-down, when I stopped the treadmill, I literally almost passed out! How embarrassing would that have been??? My vision started going black and I had to grab the side of the treadmill and sit down. UGH - I hate how out of shape I am!

Today I'm feeling it, but not as bad as I thought it would be! I have to say I'm glad that it's not an everyday thing because I don't think I could do it!

Tonight I'll do some on-demand ABS stuff...

And hopefully tomorrow do W1D2 of C25k as long as my neck is feeling better! I'm hoping I just slept on it wrong, but my neck is killing me today!

today, I did W2D2 of c25k...the last two 90 seconds and running were challenging and I definitely had to push through them.

I also did the Perfect Abs DVD today for the first time (I did 2 of the 3 of the 8 min beginner workouts) and WOW, thats some workout in 8 minutes.
