Oye vey!
I have made no progress this past week on my mummy tummy. What I did do was purchase a groupon for a month of boot camp. I just haven't called to sign up and get started. It's just so chilly outside the thought of getting out of my bed at 4:45a and getting dressed to head to boot camp is not thrilling. Hubs said I can get a treadmill but I haven't actually purchased one. I leaning towards a proform because that's what I am used to seeing in the gyms and I am pretty happy with it. Next month if I drive to my mother's house I can get my sister's elliptical but really these are all excuses!!!!!!!!!
I need to get my butt moving. I need to work out. My kettle ball work out set sits by my front door waiting to be taken to the gym area to be opened and used...I know I know...I need to stop slacking...we are now about a months from the slated event and 4 months from summer. And I have yet to get my butt in gear and as a result I have avoided the scale the last 2 weeks...sigh...my food is not so bad...although super bowl Sunday was a splurge but I came right back to set meals on Monday.
I just need to work out and stop making excuses. This weekend we are going away, just the hubby and I (it's going to be hard to leave the wee one - don't even want to think about it), and I am going to try to use the gym at the hotel to jump start my alter ego that loves to workout...will let you all know how it goes...sigh...I will get moving I will..

Mission: Mummy Tummy - wk 1
Yesterday marked the end of my week on focusing to lose the reminder of this horrid baby weight.
It was marked with a few milestones and some stumbling.
I still have not added back working out. However, I am happy to announce that when I came home last Thursday night my kettle ball workout had arrived and I fully plan on doing that at least twice in the coming week. I am still in search of a treadmill, although the hubs uncle has offered me a nordictrack...at this point I am going to take it. It does after all offer an amazing full body workout if I can get all my limbs coordinated.
I stepped on the scale Wednesday morning I like to weigh in the morning after the biggest loser and it showed I was down 2 lbs from the previous week so just changing my eating has helped. Also I am in a new size pants all be it they are tight they fight but they didn't in December so that's another triumphs.
And now for the set backs, so I went to the grocery store on Wednesday to get some items to couple with the items I was cooking from the pantry challenge and what did I see but the delicious cranberry oatmeal cookies I have just started to love at Safeway. Of course the little one packs that I like to buy and freeze for the unbearable crave days were not available so I got a 12 count. CAN WE SAY BIG MISTAKE!!!!
I came home ate two and froze the rest in baggies of two in order to restrain myself...and it's working and it's not because I have eaten another two today...sigh...well at least I am trying.
Next week I am focusing again on eating healthy and adding in 2-3 days of exercise... Still on a mission to find my treadmill...so we shall see...How are your weight loss goals going?

Mission: Mummy Tummy
Ok...so after I had my wee one...I lost 37 lbs in the first 6 weeks...awesome I thought I will have this baby weight off in no time...well I was wrong (faint wimper)
Another 10 weeks later and I have lost maybe 4lbs...I saw pictures of myself on facebook last weekend that my cousin posted from my awesome Christmas vacation and I look like a stuffed human skin...not so pretty...
So I am a mission...I would like to lose 20lbs by the time Ben's baby blessing which is exactly 60 days away.
And then another 50 lbs by year end. It's reasonable really...But I do need to be careful I have been reading articles lately about losing weight two fast after the first 6 week loss can release toxins in the breast milk. Also, that some people have trouble losing the last 10 lbs of baby weight until after they finish breastfeeding...I don't know but I am on a mission to try - with in reason I promise.
My strategy is to eat more fruits and veggies...I have started this for the past two weeks - with a few hiccups I have been doing well.
Step 2 part 1 - is to add back my workouts...I had been working out before my awesome vacation but haven't since we moved...so I am going to look to get a treadmill, some kettle balls and then fingers crossed add back yoga...all in moderate increments...we shall see.
Step 2 part 2 - is to read the book how to lose you mummy tummy and incorporate some of those techniques daily... I have the book from the library now if I could only read it.
I will update weekly on my progress...I am tempted to do PX90 but I think I need to work on building some strength before I torture myself to that degree...wish me luck
