Fitness Friday: Oct 17

Finally Friday! This week seemed a little long to me...probably because of the constant rain we seemed to get until yesterday! Today, I am linking up for Fitness Friday



Eating and Training
Week 2 of the 21 Day Fix is ending.  I feel like I worked really hard this week.  I used heavier weights during both the Upper and Lower Fix workouts when called for, went the full 60 seconds and rarely modified.  I definitely feel stronger.  I even went for a run yesterday; the first one in a LONG time (like 9 months!). Definitely wasn't feeling so strong after that.  

My eating has been pretty good.  I've been hungry more this week.  Not sure if that is because little guy is going through a growth spurt so I am nursing all the time or what.  It has been a constant battle to not just go snack every time I want to.  When I have caved (because I'm so darn hungry) I have made healthy choices. 

I am up .7 pounds this week (151..can't get the photo to load).  I feel like I need more calories and that not having enough played into the gain.  I could focus on it or I could focus on the fact that I feel stronger, thinner.  I'll go with the latter.

Looking Forward 
Looking forward to continuing with this program, my healthy choices and getting results.  I plan on adding in a few more runs next week too!

Fitness Friday

Happy Friday! I know it has been awhile since I linked up but life has been crazy! I am so happy to be back!


Eating and Training
This week I have been following the 21 Day Fix nutrition to a T. There have been many a times when I wanted to cheat.  {Going to the grocery store hungry, having a super fussy baby all day, playing referee to two toddlers...just to name a few} Yet- I stayed strong and on track. 

I also followed the workouts each day.  Some days were better than others.  I had to pause a few days to rock our sweet G back to sleep or to referee but most days I gave it my all without having to modify to much I am proud to say.  My older two even joined in on some of the workout fun and I love that!!

I mean, I can't even resist!

Excited for leg day!

I am happy to say the hard work these past five days has paid off! I weighed in this morning and...

Down 3 pounds!!

Looking Forward To
Continuing these next two weeks.  I hope to keep up the consistency.  Even if the scale doesn't show it, I want to be losing inches, especially in my hips and thighs which seems to be the area that is holding on to my pregnancy weight.  This month is super hectic as we are packing to move in just a few short weeks.  I know that final week as I pack up our kitchen, eating well will be more difficult but not impossible. I am already planning how to keep myself on track.  I love how much more energy I have this.  Here is to another great week!
