Starting over. Again.

I hope it's the last time. In the last year, I had baby #2, quit my job & moved 30 miles north. I'm doing Fat Olympics for the motivation. It started last week.

07/18/2016. 182.4 lbs
07/25/2016. 177.6 lbs

My measurements were 41/39/42. I know. Sexy. I don't think they've changed in a week.

I'm working on couch to 5k because I'd  like to be able to up & run 5k.

Strength.

I don't have the time or money to throw at going to the gym anymore.  I tried doing crossfit in the basement, but it's irritating to have to constantly find subs for everything that I don't have equipment for.

I'm starting a bodyweight program though because I have to lift weight to lose weight.  

Baseline was today. 

1 min time limit with 3 minutes rest between :

Squats:  23
Chin/pull-up:  0
Pushup:  3
Burpees:8

Weak sauce!

1/15/15 weights

Squats 90# 5x5
OHP 50# 5x5
DL 85# 1-1-1-1-1

I almost decided to skip my workout because 'I'm tired & have so much to do & I always pick tot up so late.' All of those things are true, but I went anyway. Then I read about how moms need to have time to take care of themselves & somewhat grudgingly agreed. I should wholeheartedly agree. Since tot was born I have been very good at not taking my me time. Occasionally I get better at it and then let it get away from me again. And that is probably why I had such a hard time losing the baby weight the first go round. So let me get this straight.  Maybe, just maybe, if I make a practice of working out, I'll not only be in better shape mentally but also physically?! Insanity, I know.

Squats felt good today. They are getting tougher. Almost failed on the OHP. Actually took breaks between DL reps. I needed to watch my form & catch my breath.

3 weeks going strong!

1/14/15 rest

Planned rest day. Tot & I took the opportunity to wander around Target & get home late. He did really well. Mostly because he decided the shopping cart was a fire truck and wanted to hang off the side of it.  I slept hard & awoke a little after midnight thinking it was wakey time.  Only one other wake up at 4:30.

I weighed in at a whopping 168 this morning. Up 12 lbs at 17 weeks.  That's not gonna fly, so I'm going to try the eating plan my krav maga coach gave me...but doubled. If I keep gaining crazy on that, I'll down out to 1.5. It means I have to plan & cook, but it should be all around healthier.

Week 2, day 1.

Felt good. Possibly influenced by a higher carb intake in the afternoon.

1/12/15 weights

Stronglifts

Squats 85# 5x5
Bench 50# 5x5
Upright rows 50# 5x5

Skipped Friday

I exercised 4 days in a row this week. By Friday I was exhausted. I believe I will try M, Th-weights and T, F-jogging this week with a rest day on W to break it up.
