On the road again...

Well, we finally had a break in the cold winter weather to squeeze in a run AND a workout outside! This week has been especially good for me, I worked out Monday (gym) Tuesday (nap time outside) and Wednesday (road run)... go me

It hasn't been easy recovering from this pregnancy. I will say, my uterus is still sore. I feel it when I run and I feel it when I do lunges. I wonder why it's so much more sore this time. I just ignore it and keep going, I hope I'm not hurting myself more 😣

I have to keep reminding myself, constantly, that it takes time, it's a slow process and, after all I did just use this body to create 3 beautiful and healthy human beings!

So I currently weigh 157lbs and my goal is to get back to my pre pregnancy weight of 130lbs... I would also then like to start really toning and building muscle mass... since it will only start to deteriorate as I age. My goal is to keep this body thriving for as long as possible.

27 lbs to go!

Here I go again...

Well it's been 5 years since I first started this here little blog. It's started as a place for me to write about my weight loss goals after giving birth to my first baby, Sienna, who turns 5 in a few weeks!!!

Now, 3 babies later I'm here to do it all over again...

Here is my sweetest little bundle of love - Elle... it was a tough pregnancy but it was so worth the 10 mos of pain and struggle.

This time, 5 years older and a little heavier than the time before, I really have my work cut out for me. Im currently 35lbs over my starting weight. She was born on 11/17/17 so I'm about 2 1/2 mos postpartum.

I've gotten back to the gym in the last month and omg can I feel how weak I am! I've been through this 2 times before and it as never this hard. Every motion is a struggle. (Maybe it's because I suffered from pubis symphasis disruption so I stayed off my feet as much as possible due to the chronic pain. So there goes my muscles.) getting to the gym is definitly a struggle since J and I are officially outnumbered. Someone always needs something. If I do get to the gym it's usually after the kids go to bed and he can hold Elle. My goal is to make it 2 times/week.

This month I mostly focused on cardio - running 1 mile to start and always work in some burpees for a full body workout as well as lunges. I also make sure I have 5 minutes to meditate in the sauna for sanity points haha.
