Body Progress Report.

So I am going to put it all out there and let you know that when I started working towards this body transformation I weighed 195.6 lbs according to my Wii fit. I am going to continue to use the Wii as my scale since it helps me keep track of everything. I did really well the first couple of weeks and then we went to WI/IL and then I got all the way up to 197.5. We are trying to get back on track with eating healthier and I have been working out for the last couple of days and I think I am looking a *little* more tight. I have been having some back issues since having Milo so I have been having a hard time going full swing into working out. I am going to the Chriopractor today so hopefully everything will start to go better from here. Adam and I are also going to eat better next week because we have had a few bad meals this week.

Stats:

Day 1: 195.6 lbs

Day 28: 193.8 lbs

Total: Down 1.8 lbs

Pictures:

1 month stats!

On Friday Milo had his one month appointment.
Length: 23.5 inches
Weight: 11lbs 6oz
Head Circumference: 15.5 inches

My child is huge but I love him and he is staying right on track with his growth.

I also had my postpartum Dr. visit. It was quick and to the point. Apparently I am all healed up nicely and on top of it all I have lost 30 pounds since having Milo when I only gained 19 during pregnancy. I am really happy about that. I had lost about 26 lbs within the first 2 weeks but then had put a pound or two back on. We have been eating healthy this week and that has really helped. We started using e-mealz.com to get our meal plan for the week. We are doing the points system for 2. Everything we have made so far has been fairly decent and we have noticed it has helped us also cut back on our portion size. We had a few bad meals this week because it was Adam's birthday but overall I still feel really good about this plan. We are hoping to be able to maintain it and see if with more consistency if we lose even more.

Shred day 2

Is it bad that even my 4 year old who never runs out of steam can even handle the shred. She wanted to do it today with me so I turned it on and about 30 seconds in realized I just couldn't do it today. I literally could not force myself to do a single jumping jack. I would mentally prepare myself to do it...1,2,3...Jump and nothing would happen. So I sat down and let Eve jump around and pretend she was doing what they were doing and by the time they finished the first set of crunches Eve was spent. She then complained for the rest of the night that she worked out too hard and her back hurt. Seriously I just couldn't muster up the strength to do it. I actually feel really good today except my thighs are so sore. I almost peed myself today because I was having a hard time sitting down fast enough and there were a few times I thought my leg was going to give out while walking (not good when you have a newborn). So I did the Wii fit step aerobics for 20 minutes instead. Tomorrow I will go swimming for a LONG time. I love swimming. I need to stop by our storage and pick up my handweights and workout bench. I have another workout that my best friend Rachel did that helped her lose and keep off a bunch of weight. I have done it before and although it will also make me sore it isn't as hard on my joints. I think I will start with that on Sunday and work my way up to the shred. I can't live with this much pain when I have 2 kids to take care of.

Transformation Begins

Adam and I have been doing some serious talking about how to get back into shape. I am beyond out of shape. Honestly I was a little shocked when I saw these pictures. In my mind I am not as fat as I look in these pictures. I need to make a change and hopefully by publicly humiliating myself with pictures in my skin tight work out clothes every 10-15 days I will not give up like I always do. I want to get healthy for my children and I want to get sexy for Adam. So today marks Day 1 of my transformation. I did the shred that everyone has been talking about. My legs felt like jello and I only made it half way through but at least it is a start. I had a really hard time even doing the jumping jacks. I mean seriously they are jumping jacks and I could barely handle it. I found myself having some serious words with Jillian in my head and a lot of them involved the f-bomb. Eve was my cheerleader through the whole thing and kept telling me when I wasn't doing it like they were on the TV. This week I am starting by adding the workout and next week we will work on eating healthier. I think this is going to be good for our family.
