The past few weeks worked out alright up until the 21st. I ate something that didn't agree with me and have suffered the consequences ever since. Today I was able to go on a little walk with the family. Hopefully it is the start of being well again.

It has been really nice having 3 family walks planned with my parents each week. It keeps all of us accountable and a nice environment to get talking. Husband has mentioned before that he likes taking walks because I become really chatty. After the walks with my parents it was obvious I got this trait from my mom. I'm okay with that.

Worst. week. ever. The weather's poor effects on the body and Baby's illness totally took over. Why did I let that happen?

Week 7 Fitness Recap

Feb 14 - nothing
Feb 15 - 13.5(!) mile family bike ride
Feb 16 - yoga
Feb 17 - small walk with Baby
Feb 18 - nothing
Feb 19 - family bike ride

Obviously the main event this past week was the major bike ride. It was so awesome and very draining. Look at my handsome boys!


The night after the ride, I bashed my knee into the corner of our office desk. That definitely put a damper on things. Luckily everyone else at yoga was pretty sore as well, so there were not many intense poses. I wish that yoga were twice a week but it is a blessing that I get to go to a class once a week for free and I am grateful for it.

Week 4 Fitness Recap

Jan 23 - Family bike ride
Jan 24 - Short family walk
Jan 25 - Pilates with Husband
Jan 26 - YOGA!!! For a whole hour!
Jan 27 - Family bike ride
Jan 28 - Family bike ride
Jan 29 - Post-natal yoga

This week went much better than the last one. Thanks to the sun for shining so nicely for me. And also a big thanks to my friend who invited me to join the yoga/cardio group she attends weekly. That was what I attended Tuesday night. The cardio group meets in the early (for me) morning, so I have yet to attend that one. It sounds fun and there will be kids there so Baby can make friends.

It has been a month since I started working out a little everyday and I'm starting to see a difference in my appearance. I have a waist again! Or at least it is more defined than it was 4 weeks ago. My energy is up, as well as my stamina. It is easier for me to keep my cool when Baby throws a tantrum and I just feel healthier. Score for being more fit!

Week 3 Fitness Recap

Jan 16 - nothing :(
Jan 17 - post-natal yoga
Jan 18 - post-natal yoga
Jan 19 - nothing :(
Jan 20 - family bike ride
Jan 21 - short family dance party

This week has been a hard one for me. Have you ever experienced aches in a body part that was injured in the past due to humidity or a change in weather? Times that by 4 and you may understand how my week has been. I'm hoping that next week will be loads better.

Week 1 Fitness Recap

As part of my goals this year, I'm exercising for 30 minutes a day. To keep myself honest and motivated, I plan to document my progress.

Jan 1 - 30 minute walk with Husband and Baby
Jan 2 - 30 minute family bike ride
Jan 3 - 30 minutes of post-natal yoga
Jan 4 - 30 minute family bike ride
Jan 5 - 30 minute bike ride with baby
Jan 6 - nothing :(
Jan 7 - 30 minute family bike ride
Jan 8 - 20 minutes of 30 Day Shred

Because of the nature of 30 Day Shred, I'm going to let it count for 30 minutes if that is all I can fit in for the day. Hopefully I will be able to fit a little walk or bike ride in as well, but the purpose of the goal is to git up off my duff and actively tone my post-natal tummy and get rid of the weight I gained after nursing Baby.
