Last Weeks Weight: 135.5
Current Weight: 130
My diet was very clean (1500-1800 calories).
My workout was as follows:
Saturday-50 minute Kenpo Karate (P90X)
Monday-1 hour arms and running (7.0-8.0)circuit
Tuesday-1 hour legs and running (7.0-8.0)circuit; 15 min ab ripper
Wednesday-45 minutes P90X Yoga
Thursday-1 hour chest/back and running (7.0-8.0)circuit
Friday- 30 minute treadmill (6.0-7.0)10 minute incline walk; ab ripper
Weekly Fitness Tip: When you workout, do the things that you hate the most. I super hate push-ups and pull-ups, so I do them! My chest/back workout day is really hard, but I notice awesome results. Women especially should concentrate on compound movements. These exercises work your entire upper body and your core/abs. Start off light and push yourself each time; it will get easier and you will see quick results. Don't be intimidated, just get going. Here are some examples to vary it.

Weeks 9/10
Last weeks weight: 135
Current weight: 135.5
So I drove to Seattle with the kiddos to visit Crin and her family. We had such a blast! I was able to go to hot yoga (super sweaty!)with her twice and run twice (I was flying because of the lower elevation). I got a total of 5 days in the first week and only today in this week. I did an hour full-body/running circuit. My diet was pretty clean. We ate the yummiest fresh spring rolls from Crin's favorite Thai restaurant and I ate a huge salad and tofu fries at yummy Zao. We ate pretty good and didn't indulge on sweets, as I am still on my sugar fast. I felt great about maintaining.
Weekly Fitness Tip: Results during Recovery: I've been pretty gung-ho with my workouts and so this last week when I rested quite a bit, I didn't feel guilty. My body feels a bit tighter and it made todays workout really intense since I missed the gym so much. So don't be afraid to rest a little bit as long as it's just once in a while.

Week 8
Last week's weight: 137.5
This week's weight: 135
Yipee skippy!! I hit my goal weight today! My diet was clean, but I upped my calories because little baby Gray has only gained 2 lbs since birth (4 months). Bring on the peanut butter!
My workout was as follows:
Monday- 50 minute chest, back, run circuit (P90X)
Tuesday- 50 minutes legs, glutes, calves, run circuit; 15 min. ab ripper
Wednesday- 50 minutes yoga (P90X)
Thursday- 50 minute shoulders and arms, run circuit (2 min runs are up to 8.0)
Friday- 50 minutes Kenpo Karate
Saturday- 30 minute treadmill run (6.0-7.0 with 2 minute 8.0 sprint) 10 minute incline walk; 15 min ab ripper
Weekly Fitness Tip: Reach your goals-
I attribute reaching my goal weight so quickly on a number of things. 1) I workout hard 6 days a week and I am always mixing it up, read: muscle confusion. 2) I recognize that my nutrition and eating habits are a lifestyle and I eat good because it makes me feel good. 3)I try to stay balanced in my life and really try to be non-obsessive. I think that nursing may have helped, but I'm not sure because when I nursed Diesel I plateaued at 150 for months and months and didn't lose all my weight until I was done. So remind yourself, consistency, lifestyle and balance. I find that focusing on fitness goals ie; becoming stronger, faster or gaining more endurance helps to increase positive body image and your body will be shaped more into what you want it to be.
