My Week So Far..

Well, I know that I said I was going to start the 30 Day Shred on Monday, but over the weekend I changed my mind and decided to start Couch to 5k first. Running is something that I have read about for a while now and have always been interested in, but never thought I could actually get into it. After giving it some thought....I decided why not?? What would it hurt to give it a shot? I have heard such great success stories about this program and how it's not only a great program for the beginner runner, but also that it's a great way to lose weight.
Yesterday (Monday) I woke up and took my before pics (which I decided not to post)--(maybe one day) and weighed myself. The scale read 153. Being that I am 5'4", I would like to reach a goal weight of 125 overall. Even though I am comfortable at around 140, I am ready to get healthy and for me I feel that will be 125.

  After getting the kids breakfast & while they were busy playing I started the C25k program. I am so surprised at how good it felt. Considering that I haven't "ran" since high school, I thought I was going to hate it. I did day 2 today and sweated my ass off, but I finished without stopping. I feel amazing.

Along with starting this program I have decided to cut some things out of my diet (just until I reach my goal, then I may add them back in moderation.  I am currently cutting out all sweets, dairy, and only eating a certain amount of (healthy) carbs per day.  So...what am I loving right now? O-M-G.....I am obsessed with Almond Milk! I love to mix it with 1 scoop of 100% whey protein powder(chocolate) and have it post workout. I am also loving Organic Girl's Super Greens. Yum!

I am thinking about incorporating Jillian's 30 Day Shred with the C25k program maybe next week (if I can squeeze it in).

See ya tomorrow for another update!

Low-Key Saturday..

This weekend has been pretty low-key so far. Today we were super duper lazy. I downloaded a new mag to my Kindle and gave myself an at home mani. Isn't that color fab? It's called Sonic Boom---so fun for summer!

I'm really excited to get back to working out on Monday. I will start Jillian's 30 Day Shred (posting before and after pics) ((if I get the nerve to show my lovely post-pregnancy stretch marks)) They say milk does a body good...HA, well so do two kids. ;)

I will also post my current weight and measurements. Yikes! Maybe I'm not that excited for Monday to come..

As far as this weekend is concerned....cue all the carbs and sweets that I can digest!!
