Fitness Check in

[packerfan4life]

It's been a while since we've had one of these! How's everyone doing? What goals are you working on? Any major accomplishments? Things you're struggling with?

[packerfan4life]

I've gotten back into running regularly again (minus the past week or two). A friend and I may be signing up for a half marathon this summer. Which will be interesting since I've never run farther than 6 mi before...

It took until a couple months ago but I'm finally back in my prepregnancy clothes and prepregnancy weight.

This week was a bit of a wash though since we were traveling so lots of eating out. Although we did hike almost every day

Packer fan how do you do it on no sleep? I want so bad to get back to working out but I'm so effing tired.

I joined a running club and I'm training for a 5k. Not bad for not having run in 17 years!

I'm working out on Saturday and running Sunday, Wednesday, and then by myself one other day. I wish I had more time but this is good for now.

One of my coworkers made a comment about my weight this week. It made me feel really bad. And I've been working at it harder than I ever have before. It's just hard. I'm still 30lbs over pp weight. I have gained muscle but still.

F that coworker. That is so inappropriate. I can't remember if you're breastfeeding (I think you are?) But I've heard some people can't lose the weight until they stop BFing. I stalled out for a long time at 10-20 lbs over PP weight.
We have a similar schedule, I'm supposed to run Sat, Sun and Wed.

I struggle with napping. Other than when I was I pregnant I don't nap. So I figure I may as well do something that makes me feel better while the kids nap. On Wednesday I run while they're at daycare.

I'm working out 5-6 days a week. I do 20 min of cardio (usually elliptical) then 30 min of weights/abs. I've been run/walking most Sunday's with my 3 year old to spend some one on one time together. I still have 5 pounds to lose and I know i need to cut the sweets but I just can't. Also I'm running (literally) on fumes most days since I still have a non sleeper. I've had two friends ask if I want to run with them but I'm a slow runner so I don't know if I'll take them up on it.

We should run together this summer!

packerfan4life good luck training! Will it be where you are now or where you're moving?

GOmamab15 so inappropriate for a coworker to comment on your weight! Congrats on signing up for a 5k! I think i might sign up for one this summer too.

It'll be right after we move (like 3 or 4 days after). I'm hoping training at altitude will give me an edge. So far I can't run farther than 5 miles though so it should be interesting

[GOmamab15]

Go mladerri Go! Sounds like you're finding a great routine. I'm so much slower than all the ladies I run with but at least I start out with them and then I normally turn back sooner and they catch up with me at the end.
packerfan4life yes, still BF. I hope that's part of it.

We hike regularly with hib and I'm doing the 30 mile challenge this month. Already done 3.5.

I've lost two pant sizes since last summer and had to buy new Pants

No set working out schedule, but now that it is getting warm I am walking a lot more. I try to get out for at least 20min every day. My weightlifting is rocking DD to sleep every night . On the food side I joined WW, which has helped me tremendously in watching what I eat. I wish I had done it sooner!

GOmamab15, that coworker totally sucks. Like how completely inappropriate. I want to punch them in the face. Good for you for running again!!
