Adventures of the start of the fourth week or how I'm halfway done!

Here I am halfway done. I can't believe it. I've kept up with it for three weeks and let me tell you it hasn't been easy. Week three was rough not the workouts but the eating and the motivation. I'm had a real hard time getting motivated. Troy and I didn't do our runs together which pushed my workout motivation back even farther. I worked out at midnight some nights and let me tell you it's not a wise idea. So this week I'm trying to be better so we'll see how it goes.

The positives from this last week are that I did the workouts no matter how late, I didn't do horribly with my nutrition but I did ok and I have a healthy body that works hard and birthed a beautiful baby boy. 9 months in 9 months out!

Adventures of week 3 update ( like a week late) ...

As I write this Harvey is asleep in my lap and I am doing this from the iPad so there will be more grammatical and punctuation errors than normal. Sorry not sorry ;).

So week 2 was hard not as hard as three but once I do my measurements tonight I'll let you know how hard it was ;)

I lost three more pounds and another 3/4 of an inch on my hips. Again at the end of the six weeks I'll post the before and after numbers.

I gotta tell you my eating was again on point and I felt good all week. 

 

Here are some updated photos:

 Three things: 1-my bathroom is a disaster but I did clean it finally on Friday. 2- I am not super comfortable taking selfies but obviously that hasn't stopped me and 3- my push-ups stink. I try so hard  to do them right but I am having a hard time. Push-ups and I don't get along actually anything that requires upper body strength and I don't get along. But I'm trying and that's what counts right? I hope by the end of this 6weeks my push-ups will resemble real push-ups. I'd show you a picture but I'd get laughed at really hard if that happened. And I have to have some semblance of self respect somewhere right? ;)

adventures of week 2

I always have grand plans of posting more than once a week but we've seen how that has gone. I'm going to blame it on nap time being discombobulated as of late.

So here we are week 2 of the Crossfit at home challenge. I weighed myself and did measurements on Monday and I have to say I feel pretty good about the progress. I lost two pounds from the week before. My eating/nutrition was spot on last week. I pretty much killed it as far as food goes.
I really do need to write something about how my eating has changed since having Harvey.

I gotta tell you though these workouts are no joke. They are thoroughly kicking my trash up and down. For example Monday Troy and I went for a run and then I did my workout, yesterday I woke up feeling completely worked over I mean the workout was really short too and I just felt beat down.

On that note I have had to switch around some of the workouts for this week because of my lazy-ness as well as keeping with my Saturday goal (which I also need to talk about at some point- so many post ideas but I digress).

Here are my week two photos. I should have worn the same outfit BUT laundry isn't a real high priority around here snuggling and kissing cute baby cheeks is.

Yeah, I'm still getting the taking a picture without looking thing down. Although it could be considered artsy in some circles, and I wouldn't put it past our "awesome" apartment to have a crooked mirror ;)

adventures of Baby Weight

You knew this was coming, especially since I spent thousands of dollars and years studying this exciting information (aka stuff ;) )

sidebar: is it pathetic that when I write sometimes (read most times) laugh at my own jokes. don't answer that.

Onto the baby weight.

over the course of my pregnancy I gained about 44lbs. from the very start to the finish. 

Not too shabby haha. Let's not talk about the month appointment where I had gained 10 lbs. in a month and left the doctor in tears. moving on...

So I took these pictures Monday I also weighed myself Monday and took my measurements (putting that exercise prescription and health class to good use)

Why did I do this? Well I started a 6-week Crossfit at home workout from Simply Sadie Jane. I want to chart my progress and see how I do.

AND this is a great way to stay accountable.

I have already lost 26 lbs. of the original weight

(granted a baby helped with that one) but I am down. And I have started to eat more vegetables and be a lot more careful about what I put in my body ( a post for another day).

So along with this I have decided to not put my starting stats up until the end because I like a big reveal. Who doesn't. Here are the before pictures and I'm starting day 3 today and let's just say last night kicked my trash HARD. (125 burpees-- they were ugly. Like SUPER DUPER ugly but I got it done).

So here we are Day 3. Each week I'll post the new pictures and check in. Let's just say at this point I have 16lbs. until my goal in April which I am not sure I will meet but I am trying.

Super Flattering I know. Victoria Secret called and I had to tell them to get in line ;).
