Re: Fitness Fridays
How are you liking crossfit? It's the best thing for fast results. At the beginning it's hard because you are so sore and there are so many new movements to learn. Give it at least two months and you will be hooked just like me!
I hear ya. My 5:15 alarm is rough, especially knowing that if I ignore it I can sleep until 6:30/7. But it's just part of my routine. As a SAHM, it's my alone time and my adult time.
That is really early. Are there any other options? Can you possibly pump after? I nurse before I go but I do it 5:15 not 4:30 and usually snooze through it.
You have to add it daily as a food. Search breastfeeding. A few take off 500 cals but one adds it. So try a few.
Thanks!! I'll have to try that. And fitness pal app.
I'm not eating enough, not drinking enough -- I've put myself, my health dead last, which I never intended to do.
I'm back in prepreg clothes but since I'm not toned I don't look anywhere near prepreg. 5 pounds to go, need to make some changes. Feeling a little down this week.
Only adding a minute to your mile time over the course of 6 miles is awesome! You should be psyched, not feeling down. Fitting it all in is hard, especially with the long cold winter. But summer is almost here, you can do it
I have a 5k tomorrow. I hope I at least get close to my last time

I love it, but it's hard as shit. I can't do a full mobility squat with any weight- not even the training bar. Running kicks my ass. I can't get my chin above the bar even with the thickest band. BUT I know if I keep at it, I'll feel incredibly accomplished. I hate that I've had to miss the last week, but I'll get going again Monday.
DH does it and has had great results.
I was having some motivation problems lately but what really spurred me was Friday night for dinner DH brought home dairy Queen without consulting with me first since I was asleep and he didn't want to wake me. He got me fries, chicken tenders, pulled pork sandwich, and a blizzard. Sad thing is, this was all stuff I liked and probably would have chosen anyway. I just sat down looking at my dinner and realizing what complete junk it was. Not one fruit or vegetable. All processed. Then I started thinking about my other poor food choices over the past week.
What really solidified my kick in the pants was my moms birthday dinner tonight. My whole family eats pretty healthy, and for dessert we had not your usual birthday cake but fresh fruit with a healthy chocolate mousse dip. No added sugar. I was inspired and just downloaded some sparkpeople apps. DH packed a couple of brownies in my lunch for work, but I don't think I will eat them. I'll eat the apple, Mandarin oranges, yogurt, and peas instead. I also just got a veggie steamer in the mail to make LO's baby food, but I will be using that for me also. I can do this!
For anyone who uses sparkpeople my sn is sventurarn. Come find me!
