Fitness Journal: Day 29h

Let me just start by saying I had an amazingly relaxing weekend this weekend. Sort of. If you consider housework and chores and meal prepping relaxing. I seem to always make plans and fill my weekends with social things like catching up with friends and family. This weekend I put my foot down and said no. I told my baby girl to get her pjs on after we all got home on Friday because we weren’t going anywhere. By golly, we didn’t. So proud.

I did workout, though. Don’t you worry. Day 29 of the Bikini Body Mommy challenge is complete. Although, she says I’m supposed to up the weight on my free weights but I have yet to do that. Not even really sure if I will. I ended up going on a run in my neighborhood and someone actually got me to do Insanity abs. Holy cow! It was not easy after what I think was about a 2 mile run. Mind you, I have not been running like I used to so I very honestly just jumped back on that horse and am so proud. Minimal stops and uphill battles.

This week’s meal prep is a one pot pasta recipe I found on Pinterest. Wheat spaghetti, zucchini, peas, garlic, Parmesan and heavy cream.

Edite to add that I am incredibly sore. So much that I can barely walk. Victory!!!

Here’s to this week!!!

Fitness Journal: Day 8

It’s sort of day 7 but I skipped a day because somehow I got off schedule. So I took my rest day yesterday when it should have been my final workout of the week. I’m not sure how this got mixed up but regardless I am here, and I have completed day 8. It was pretty killer.

My arms feel like jello and I’m curious to know what tomorrow will be like trying to hold my 20lb son. Oh dear, now that I’m typing it I am dreading it more and more. My son is a tad bit spoiled and likes to be held 98% of his day.

The good news is that I feel challenged and I love feeling challenged. I guess the focus for this week is to keep meals protein based and I think I can do a pretty good job of that

 

I’m tired. It’s late. Good night.
