Getting Fit - Week 3

[carolyngrace]

Well, I ate like crap last week. It ended in today, where I had a root beer float, sugar toast, and cookies. Serious sugar cravings! It doesn't help that I drank last night, UGH, always makes me eat like crap. 

On a positive note, I exercised 3-4 times last week. I feel really good about that. 

This week's goals:
1. Walk (or more) daily.
2. Cut back on desserts. 

I'm keeping it simple since it's going to be a busy week and I don't want to set myself up for failure. 

How are the rest of you doing? What are your plans for this week?

Goals for this week is to finish painting the basement. DH has this week off so he can help with the kids while I paint. Then I can get back to working out. Also, I want to drink my water quota every day this week. If I loose just one more pound I'll be under what I perceive to be a "big number"

My exercise this week consisted of walks with DH & DD every night plus lugging huge boxes of books up 3 flights of stairs at school every day. That wasn't too bad for me, since I'm the worst when it comes to exercising. My goal for this week is go back to water instead of sugary drinks and stop snacking so much (she says as she pulls her hand out of the family size bag of sour cream n onion potato chips). I was doing great with eating and drinking healthier for a while but now I'm on a slippery downhill slope and the remaining 4 pounds of baby weight has remained firmly packed onto my stomach lol

I did terrible this week. It was freezing cold, so I only walked once. I am definitely eating less, but probably drinking more beer, so I am probably canceling everything out. No weight gain or loss this week.

This week I am focused on no sugary treats (this is the first time since probably second trimester that I have no candy or cookies in the house). I am going to keep "3 walks" as a goal again. I feel like I can do it this week! I have given myself plantar fascitis pacing the house with the baby, so it really hurts sometimes, but I know that's not an excuse!

I also did shitty this week. Can't stop eating carbs, eating chocolate, and drinking wine. I take 1-1.5 hour walks with M every night but it doesn't seem to make a difference. No time/energy to jog in the evening when it's cooler.
I went shopping for new pants bc none fit and I just couldn't make the leap from 8 to 10. I have one month but am doubtful I'll fit into my old clothes. So depressing.

Doing my first weigh in tomorrow....I'm probably not going to like my Wii much afterwards. Have a doctors apt and hoping I'll be cleared for actual exercise.

Goals for this week:
1.Only drink water or milk
2.Walk at least three times with baby
3.Start practising with baby in the carrier to build up strength.

I have been good with getting out for walks and eating a little better but I still haven't done my stomach exercises enough! I need to pick a time to do them each day as a routine. Next week's goal.

I'm being really good until nighttime. Then it all goes to crap!

The one positive is I've finally started wearing my fitbit and tracking my calorie intake. Plus I've been trying to make sure I have lots of water.

Goals this week:
- get more walking in
- limit calories for nighttime

[holliberry28]

Just did a 2.5 mile jog! Now if only I can try to do this 3x a week.

I shouldn't substitute Splenda for sugar, right?

I'm going to join in this week! I'm 2 months pp and am finally feeling well enough to work out/the baby is getting into a decent schedule providing time to work out.
My goals for this week are 3 jogs, use my Fitbit everyday, and 3 yoga videos. I also want to do some ab workout everyday even if it's just a few sit ups.
I'm trying to up water intake, so I've made a rule with myself that if and only if I drink all my water I can have a glass of wine, a can of pop, or a bowl of icecream at night. I have a feeling I'll be chugging water around 7 every night haha.

I'm doing well in the movement department. B and I have been walking a lot, and I've been pretty good about exercising for a half hour or so after he's gone to bed (except last night because I got an adult coloring book yesterday. I. Am. Hooked.)

Still not doing great in the water department, and my eating was horrible this week because I had so many events to eat out for. It's a work in progress :/

[baytosa2013]

I did pretty good last week, especially with food. I kept it up pretty well over the weekend except I drank on Saturday night. I did manage a run on Saturday morning, 2.60 miles...my farthest since the baby. I feel good when I get done, tired but good. Wish this heat would let up a bit so I can maybe go after work though.

My goals this week are continue with the food and water since I did manage to lose a pound last week.

[txngrl31]

I exercised nearly every day last week- long walks some days and Jillian Michaels circuit training on others.

My eating has gotten better during the week, but I indulge a little more on the weekend- balance, right!? I've been ok on the sweets, but I've been having some wine at night with my dinner.

My goals this week are to exercise every day and drink more water!

[carolyngrace]

I did yard work for a solid hour today, which was quite the workout... And then I ate everything in sight. This eating thing is not coming together for me. I just can't keep yummy bread in the house I guess.

I got in a hilly 3 mile walk with the baby in the jogging stroller, drank plenty of water, and didn't snack after dinner! Snacked a bit mindlessly waiting for dinner, but overall a good day.

I tried on some pre-pregnancy jeans for motivation. Still have 20lbs to lose so I'll let you all imagine how ugly that was.

well if it looks anything like mine it's a sad sad vision haha

Thanks for sharing that @imapenguin! I'm going to join.

Last week was pretty terrible for eating and I only made it to the gym 2 days (my goal was 3). We went on a 4 hour road trip this weekend and ate nothing but fast food.

But alas, it's a new week! My goals:

1. Go to the gym 3 days.
2. Don't buy any junk food at the grocery store, because I won't eat it if it's not in the house!
