Workouts of Week! (WOW)

 

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Easter yesterday! We had a great group come enjoy Zumba on Saturday! You can burn over 600 calories in one session. I'm getting closer to my goal of losing my last few pounds of baby weight. Anthon said I have to give it until the 30th because the 25th isn't actually 3 months so I have until Saturday. Wish me luck! What is your goal of weight loss or fat loss? And when do you want to reach it by? Write it down.

Craving It!

So it's been 6 days since I have stopped drinking Dr. Pepper and let me tell you, it has been no easy task. I have craved one every day since I stopped. It is just such a sweet, refreshing taste to my mouth! There is one sitting in the fridge staring at me everyday but I have remained strong. To reach a healthier life style or our goals sometimes we have to give things up for a while that aren't getting us any closer whether it be alcohol, ice cream or cookies.

 So one of the things I want you to think about it is what do you need to give up and sacrafice in order to meet your goals?

On another note I had a great weekend. I walked about 6.5 miles on Saturday which includes the distance it took to walk to and from the car to Pat's Run and then the 4.2 miles for the race itself.

That evening I went paintballing for my birthday for the first time. We spent 3 hours doing that and I was wearing about 3 layers of clothes so it would hurt as bad when I got shot. I must have lost 5lbs from sweating alone. It was a blast though.

One thing people need more of in their lives is SPA. Spontaneous Physical Activity. Think about that.

Everett and I at Pat's Run on Saturday

My Big Goal!

This picture was 10 days before I had Everett. The last time I was weighed a week before I had him I had gained 51 pounds!

So I weighed myself yesterday and realized I'm only 15lbs away from hitting my pre pregnancy weight. I have made a goal that I want to lose that last 15lbs by April 25th which means I really need to hit the exercising hard and cut out a few things in my diet that aren't helping.
Here's what I did for my workout today!

I jog/walked 3.66 miles which took 50:43 and my average mile pace was 13.50
I did this around 10 something so it was pretty warm and I pushed Everett while I was going. He enjoys the walks and they normally put him to sleep.

I just finished doing 6 rounds of Tabata (20sec work/10 sec rest) for squat knee raises, jumping jacks, and push-ups. I also did 3 sets of 25 squats with a dumbbell and 3 sets 8 bicep curls on each arm

I'm going to finish my workout up with 5min AB routine. You do each of the following exercises for 30 sec.
Basic crunch, left side crunch, right side crunch, bicycle, reverse crunch, long arm crunch, crossover crunch, half curl, toe touches and the plank.

I'm going to make sure I drink 3 liters of water today. I had a protein shake before my run. I have decided to make a PROMISE to myself and everyone else that I will not drink a Dr. Pepper until I have lost my last 15lbs. What are you willing to give up?
