7 Weeks Postpartum... GO TIME

Workouts this week:

3- 3 mile runs
2- P90X workouts

...Alright. It's go time. I am DONE carting this extra weight around and ready to take off! In the past two weeks, I have GAINED 0.5 lb.

Dang it. I could just punch something... well guess what! I ordered a punching bag. I am no longer near the gym I used to go to that had a kickboxing class with punching bags. So, I got my own! It comes in a few days, I can't wait!

I have been eating poorly. My pregnancy was very difficult with food. The first four months I all but starved myself and exercised excessively. I was desperately trying not to gain so much weight. However, it kicked my body into starvation mode and I gained all the weight anyway. Now, I am trying to psych my body out of starvation mode! The way to do this is to eat ENOUGH calories, eat a FILLING breakfast, and eat healthily.

Eating Goals:

1- No eating after 8 p.m.
2- No fried foods
3- One sweet treat a week
4- Eat out once a week
5- No overeating

Exercise Goals:

Three 3+ mile runs a week
One speed workout a week
One cross training workout a week

After 4 weeks, I will add onto these exercise goals with strength training and increased mileage as well.

I started this pregnancy 7 lbs. lighter than I did with my first two pregnancies, so I have further to go to get to my actual prepregnancy weight. However, I think I am going to tweak my goal to get to my original weight before those first two pregnancies. So, I have 31.5 lbs. to lose to get there. After I get there, I will see how I feel.

I am accountable! Here we go!
