Friday Fitness Check-In (Oct 7)

Are we still doing this? I don't remember seeing one the past couple of weeks. I don't remember what sorts of questions are usually in it, so... post about your fitness-y stuff

I started 30 day shred this week. My diet changes and walks had had no effect on my weight after 4 weeks, so I decided I needed to add something. For me, the most important thing is being able to fit comfortably into my clothes, although I do also need to lose weight. I'm about 30 lbs over my pre-DD1 weight. :/ 4 pregnancies in 5 years was hard on my body.

Ugh I am failing in the fitness dept. just failing. Really need to get back on a good rating program. It's not that I really eat poorly I just eat with no plan and then I inevitably eat too many calls. I also need to eat to fuel my body better to do more work. I can't find the energy to do a workout on top of riding if I don't.

I'm going into week 3 of couch to 5k. Mostly just to get moving and DD really enjoys the stroller. When DS was a baby he wouldn't make it past 10-15 minutes. I take the dog with us and she loves it. I'm struggling a bit though. My knees are killing me and when I do the run intervals I feel like I'm running with lead weights. I thought it would go away after a couple weeks in but so far it's not. I need to also get my sugar issues under control. They take over my body after the kids are asleep. And I need to drink lots more water.

I would also like to start doing 30 day shred on the days I don't have time to get out and run or it's too hot. Yes, some days it's still too hot here to run outside. 😪

My work trip may have killed my progress - I think I'm going to wait at least two weeks before I hop on the scale again. In the mean time, I am going to try to squeeze in a walk every day - especially during this glorious fall weather!

crimsonandclover - you and I are in the same boat! I am about 30 pounds over my pre-DS weight - and I desperately want to get back there! I was about 145 in those days and am now probably closer to 175 :/ But I know we can do it!!
