Let me start off by saying I'm VERY nervous! The last time I did this journey, I dropped 35 lbs and ended up pregnant! What a blessing in disguise! Well, Squish is now 6 weeks old and growing like a weed. With Hot Rod, I did NOT work out. I thought that breast feeding would magically make me lose all the weight I had gained. It didn't work! This time, I'm taking a more effective approach. Healthy eating and exercising. I started on Monday. Today was day three. I'm doing the Les Mills Pump program and truly loving it.
I have everything planned out but am a little nervous about a few weekends I will be out of town. Also a little nervous about days off. Do you ever take days off and find it hard to get back into it? I think I will have to do something like yoga or go for a walk. My biggest obstetrical though, will be working out on days when the boys are not wanting to cooperate. Or when I'm so tired from staying up all night all I want to do is sleep. I also hope that the days where the work outs are longer wont be too bad. No matter what, I'm determined to do them. I made a promise to myself to complete this program. What choice do I have? I want to be healthier, making excuses wont get me where I want to be! Speaking of excuses....
Food will be another obstacle. I can always find an excuse to not eat healthy. "Not home" "don't have anything healthy on me" "this junk food will be easier..." The list could go on. Oh, you parents out there, do you ever use the "my child wanted to eat at this crappy restaurant with the amazing french fries" excuse? Yup - can you say Chik Fil A? #3, no pickles, waffle fries and a small chocolate shake. It is my weakness. Time to clean up the eating though! Abs are made in the kitchen! I'm going to start keeping track of my eating through Myfitnesspal.com. If you'd like to follow me, feel free too! You can find me under the name "CoachrosieT." Want to keep me on my toes or cheer me? Follow me on Instagram. I'll post accountability, motivational, and status updates. I am also under the name "coachrosiet."
So here's to a new journey. One that certainly wont be easy but also one I'm not willing to let myself give up on. Not doing this is not an option. I want to do this for my boys. I want my old body back. I want to be confident! Now, I'm off to catch some Zzzz's. I'm tired!
