Burpees.
Yea. 8 rounds of those suckers AT THE END OF A WORKOUT (including a run).
Done.
I survived, obviously. (I'm here writing it down.)
Steph says when the workout is hard..."yea, but did you die?!" Ok, ok... :)
I've been a bit nervous about starting off these last two weeks with this 30 day Shred program with Kyle gone (feeling lonely eating??) and so busy with kids that workouts won't happen. Only on the 3rd day with him gone and so far - so good. Sticking to it.
(It helps too that at night I don't want to go into the kitchen at the risk of seeing little critters that think they can enter my home.) #thatsanotherstory
I did a weight check and inches check this morning and happy to say that I lost 3.9 pounds this past week and 7.5 inches total.
What brings my heart happy is that I am now 2 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Man, that feels good. But, I'll be honest - my body doesn't look like what it did before sweet Lydia - even with only 2 pounds to go. Ha! Those babies does something to ya ;)
Next goal after those 2 pounds is to lose that 8 pounds that steroid medication has added. Boom! Bye, bye weight. Hello, muscle!
I am feeling strong. I see little muscles popping up that I haven't noticed in a while.
Slow and steady.
I feel like that's the key.
It was key the first time around for me - slow and steady. Small changes. Eliminate 1 Coke a day. Switch from white rice to brown rice. Order small fry instead of a large one. Little changes. All those little changes add up to big changes. Drop the caramel from the latte. Eek, that was hard. But not as hard as dropping ketchup. Oh man.
One thing that keeps me going...honestly...is my kids. They are watching. Paying attention.
Natalie, especially. She's watching how I care for my body. She hears what I say about myself.
I want her to be healthy and enjoy life. Enjoy going on a hike (Lauren Minshew!!). Enjoy swimming. Take dance. Enjoy a kiwi. Go out and savor a chocolate chip cookie. Well rounded.
I read somewhere recently an article about how we as moms are to talk to our daughters about our bodies. Basically, don't talk.... (I wish I had the link to add it here.).
But, instead, show through action. Show her that I love going for a walk or run and how great it feels. Feel confident. Teach her how to make cinnamon rolls for Christmas Day. Teach her how to make an amazing quinoa salad. Encourage her mind strength. Balance.
I like that.
I'm entering week 3 tomorrow. Halfway done. Things get a bit tighter these next 2 weeks. Game is going to be up'ed.
Excited to see what happens.
Although, not too excited to see burpees on the workout schedule again.
