WoRajput-I mean, workout. Week of 7/28

BluepointToasted

That is what autocorrect chose, I am leaving it for now because of sheer absurdity.

When the alarm went off this morning I promptly turned it off...then layed there for five minutes and got up anyway. Did a half hour cardio fitness blender routine. Good start to my week. Lots of healthy meals planned, so feeling good about it. How is everyone else this fine Monday morning?

I chose morning sex over morning workout today. /brag

Starting week 5 of C25K this tonight, and I'm scurrrred! Especially of day 3 which is a single 20 minute run. (

BluepointToasted

Morning sex (or anytime sex) should always trump a workout @PeanutButterFox‌!
Good luck on your run tonight, you got this! And think, if you can run 20 minutes you can totally do 30, and that's a 5k, bam!

angelashly

I am so in awe of you morning workout ladies. I have tried and I just can't do it. I would love to though

I am actually checking out C25k right now thanks to you ladies. I don't know if I'll do it. I just don't like to run. But I need something to do.

PeanutButterFox

@angelashly I didn't like to run either, but I've always wanted to be one of those people that loved it. That's why I started C25K, to ease myself into it. I still don't love it, but I'm definitely finding it more and more tolerable and I even look forward to it most of the time. It often sucks in the moment, but the feeling of accomplishment once I've completed a run cannot be matched.

BluepointToasted

I wish I lived near a PureBarre @ClaireFraser‌. I think I would really enjoy those classes

angelashly

Thanks @PeanutButterFox‌ I may try it then.

FrickandFrack

@PeanutButterFox‌ you will do great! I was so not a runner and I actually found the 20 minute run to be easier than running/walking/running combo.

I ran week 6, day 3 on c25k last night after about a week of no running and it felt great. Hopefully I will feel the same tonight as it's 25 mins. Eek.

I have been doing so well lately! Last week I worked out 5 days and Wednesday even did 2 that day! I have been trying to focus on weights and how good and strong it makes me feel! I even worked out with my husband twice and I really enjoyed it because he pushes me way past my comfort zone! He has started really telling me he's noticing a difference! That's helps so much! I worked out this morning and I got interrupted because the baby (ok she's 4) woke up but she came down to the garage and watched! I plan on doing at least 5 days since next week is vacation!

Another skip-for-sex here. I will probably do some power yoga tonight, maybe an additional ab sequence. I also plan on drinking wine, so not exactly doing great in the healthy eating category.

Need to get back on track ASAP because I'm in a wedding in 3 weeks. Eek! Got up and did 30DS this morning.

I'm a little freaked out because we're TTC, in the 2ww now. I know it's stupid, but I'm afraid too many jumping jacks could mess with implantation. Talk some sense into me, please!

Workout done.

Also, my new sports bra is the bomb.com. Holy smokes.

What kind is it? I'm skeptical. I only have one that I dare wear without a regular bra underneath.

BluepointToasted

That looks like exactly what I need. I have been double bra-ing it my whole life.

ShakeyJakey

Those do not look comfortable. But I need a new bra too because these fun bags are deflating more with every pound.

My mom and I did 20 mins on the elliptical and upper body. Super sets of rear flys/kickbacks, t raises/hammer curls, assisted chin ups/hanging leg raises and tricep dips.

Does any one have any good shoulder exercises? I have a shoulder injury so isolation moves are hard. Overhead presses? Arnold presses? I'm sick of those

PeanutButterFox

OMG day 1 was rough, and I wanted to quit several times, but I finished! I'm going to have to repeat it on Wednesday though.

I only did about 10 mins of yoga last night. Tonight will be a different story.

Soxgirl07

30DS again even though I'm still a little nervous with the whole TTC thing. I'm so stupid. Or not since I'm not letting it stop me!

Had cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast while the kids had yummy muffins.

BluepointToasted

Personal training this morning. Good workout, now trying to find the energy to throw myself in the shower.

atxfoodie

Did barre class last night and ran this morning. I've been totally off track with running the past few weeks so hoping to get back into my every other day rhythm.

Eating has been shittay. Meal planning and cooking have been nonexistent for 2 weeks. Hopefully, that'll get better, too, as I can feel my belly pooching.

PeanutButterFox

Good morning! Last night M and I did body weight strength training on Fitness Blender. It was a pretty good workout. This morning I got up and did a quick butt lifting sequence before my shower. Tonight is attempt #2 at C25K w5d1.

BluepointToasted

Today was my morning to skip my workout for morning sex instead. I am so sore from the past couple of days so I didn't really mind, although I know in my brain that working out would probably help.

TheRunningGinger

I did yoga this morning! I never thought I'd be excited about yoga. But it's the first exercise besides walking I've done in three weeks. My six month old never sleeps. I can barely function most days so working out isn't an option right now. It's getting depressing. But yay for yoga!

ShakeyJakey

Yesterday was an awesome leg superset if anyone is interested:
Squats x 12
Deadlift x 10
Repeat 3x

Plié squats x 15
Bulgarian Split squats x 15
Repeat 3x

Calf press x 15
Hip abduction x 15
Repeat 3x

If you aren't familiar with supersets you do each pair back to back, 30 second rest, repeat 3x total, rest 1 mom, then do the next set. This is what I've found allows me to get a long enough workout and got me off the plateu I was on. I could tell the pile and split squats really worked some booty muscles that don't often get worked.


Today was a rest day except for some stretching. Tomorrow I might do yoga or a body pump class depending on LOs mood and what class I can make.

ShakeyJakey

^min not mom

PeanutButterFox

I didn't do anything last night because I was busy setting up and playing with my phone. I regret not just taking 30 minutes to run. It was lazy. Tonight, I'll do core followed by C25K.

BluepointToasted

Just got back from the gym. A little put off by a comment from my trainer, I probably shouldn't be though. We were talking about my macros, and I told him that they were easy to hit, and I had lost another pound this week. I told him I was happy with that, I was in no rush, as long as I was on a steady decline (weight and body fat) that I was satisfied. He said something along the lines of "to get started?". I guess my goals are realistic for me. I don't see myself competing like some girls at my gym. I want to be fit, healthy, and the rest of this belly to say hasta la vista. I am going to choose not to over analyze that comment other than this rant here. My clothes fit, I am down 18 lbs since March 1st. No, it's not fast, but I also have been living a normal life while doing it, cooking for my family, enjoying weekends away, the occasional dinner out.

He wasn't that bad, and honestly I am over it. I think part of it is that people are usually coming it with "I want to lose 30 lbs like yesterday!" And I am past that. He is always pretty complimentary, and I know I have to get over being so hyper-sensitive about weight.

ShakeyJakey

I wish I had done competition before kids. It seems impossible at this point but I think it would have been fun.

atxfoodie

Went running this morning.  Felt like I was being followed by some guys in a truck at one point.  They were definitely all hanging out and leering at me, which wasn't fun.  But, 2nd run of the week!  We also finally did a few meal plans and went to the grocery store Tuesday night so that should help.  

BluepointToasted

Scary @atxfoodie!  Did you see that article that is going around recently?  I think it is called "running while female" or something like it? 

atxfoodie

I haven't, @bluepointtoasted. I'll look for it.  Definitely the first time something like that had happened to me.  Our neighborhood usually has other people out running, walking their dogs, etc. and it's a good neighborhood, so I've never felt unsafe, but I should be more on guard.  

BluepointToasted

Here you go.  Instead of being lazy, I'll link it

atxfoodie

Thanks!  I just read it.  And then made the mistake of reading some of the comments.

So creepy.  And I hate that I've totally been in situations like that where you don't say anything because you don't want to be wrong and offend someone.  This morning, I just ran down a one way street where they couldn't follow that took me back to more populated areas.  

PeanutButterFox

So I repeated w5d1 of C25K and it went really well! I was able to complete all three 5 minute intervals without struggling at all. Now I'm amped for day 2 which is 8 minute intervals.

BluepointToasted

Just finished my workout. Of course ds woke up in the middle of it. At one point he decided the best place to stand and watch cartoons was smack dab in the middle of the floor, and that he could help my crunches by pushing on my belly. He's lucky he's so cute

PeanutButterFox

Butt, thighs, and abs this morning. So many lunges! Cardio tonight, but I'm not sure what yet...maybe something dance based.

Soxgirl07

Keeping up with the 30DS. Also making sure to get in at least a 2 mile walk with the kids everyday. Pulling that wagon with 60lbs of toddler must be worth some extra calories, right?

Eating has been really good all week except last night. Date night, it was a special little thing we planned. No regrets.
