#Mamavation Monday: Powering it Out

I feel like I didn’t do anything this week, but working from home seems to have that effect, I guess. That and Cam’s taken a liking to 4 in the morning. Basically, he’s asking me to embarrass him in front of all his friends. 13 years in advance.

But back to this week. I did do a lot. I finished the first version of a client’s site, I roasted chicken for the first time, I even squeezed in a couple workouts! It felt like the first time I’ve had a chance to have a focused practice since I had Cameron, and it very well could have been – at this point, it’s been a blur. One good thing does tend to lead to another, though. I practiced yoga and I was good & sore the next day, then I did a barre workout the day after that. Today I did a Jackie Warner ab workout (what we would have called ab f**k back in my early college days, except this was 3 times longer than a normal ab f**k workout).

All in all, I think I’m getting on track and getting my workout schedule together. However, I need to push myself to be accountable for my fitness. So I’m posting pictures and measurements every week from here on out. My hope for the end of the year is to get down to my ideal weight of 112 lbs. However, because I’m still breastfeeding and I plan to be breastfeeding at that time, the weight loss isn’t a priority.

That’s the whole thing. Weight loss and numbers haven’t been a priority because I’m breastfeeding and I need to focus on Cameron. However, as a result and while health is a priority, staying in shape is really easy to push off to the side. Like, it’s one thing to do stairs and light cardio and not be a total bum, but it’s another to get a full on sweat going. I’ve gotten the sweat back, I missed it and I’m hooked.

SO with no further ado:

Measurements

Height: 5’3″
Weight: 127 lbs
Bust: 36DD
Waist: 29″
Hips: 39″
Left Arm: 9 1/2″
RIght Arm: 10″
Left Thigh: 18 1/2″
Right Thigh: 18″

This week’s agenda & goals:

  • Jump in on the Tough as Nails Planks challenge with @FitnessCheerldr (also at fitnesscheerleader.com)
  • Rejoin the gym. And actually go to the gym.
  • Sweat every day. It takes me about 30-40 minutes of a really hard workout to break a sweat, so that means some serious working out.
  • Speak Your Mind
