Baby Weight: Update #1

So here it goes: I weighed last week and I weigh 183 lbs. Wow that took courage but I feel much better.

I worked out 4 days last week by running on the treadmill that is out in our garage in this ridiculous heat. I ran 1.2 miles each day. I think that is a good start considering I felt like I could pass out the whole time. On Sunday I weighed again and I weighted 180 lbs. 3 lbs  down, 50 more to go.

My workout videos (INSANITY) came in the mail a couple of days ago and it looks insane (haha). After watching the videos I believe that saying, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. Chris and I decided to start the 2 month transformation (as the video calls it) on Monday.

I will keep you posted on how things are going. I can’t believe I put my weight on here.  Man!!

Baby Weight!!!

If you know me at all, you know that I am obsessed with my weight. Since my second year of college I have been on some sort of diet and work out program.


Before I had Maddox I was a size 6. I did a lot of running and ate nothing but protein and veggies, most of the time. Post Maddox I am a size 12. Yeah I said it 12. I have never been this big. Not only am I bigger, cloths don’t fit the same. Pregnancy does some weird things to your body.


So I have come up with a solution to my problem. GET UP OFF MY BUTT AND LOSE THE WEIGHT. Sounds simple enough but if it was simple more people would jump on the wagon but I have a plan and here it is;


1. Blog about my progress and set backs. If I blog, I will feel obligated to work out, eat healthy which will in turn mean losing weight.


2. Work out at least 5 days a week. For a new mother this will be the most complicated part so I have decided running on the treadmill and a at home video will have to due. I have been doing a lot of research online about workout videos and this is what I came up with.


INSANITY® - Product Detail


Now, my friends all know I took and taught karate for years. I loved it and I was in the best shape of my life. Karate has interval training which is great and so does Insanity. I love doing workouts like this so I think I will stick with it.


3. Eat healthier. Sounds easy again right. I going back to protein, veggies and fruits. Low carbs.


4. Partner. When you have a partner they hold you accountable. My partner will be my partner in life, my husband, Chris.


So here is my plan. I am going to make a blog post at least once a week to inform you of my progress. I am starting on 6/13/11 but I just ordered the insanity dvds so I will be running for now….


Wish me luck!
