Here's to a wonderful Sunday - Day 8
Well I was able to get up and exercise again this morning. I have to get up at 5:00 on Sundays because we go to church at 8:30 and live about 30 minutes away. This is better than weekdays when I get up at 4:15-4:30 though. Saturday is my only day to sleep in and that is only to 6:30-7:00, whenever the baby wakes up.
First let me say what I did last night - I did Denise Austin's Hit The Spot Pilates: Abs and Waistline segment. That was pretty tough for me who is just getting back into pilates after a second c-section - my lower abs are really weak and my upper abs aren't a lot better, but I will keep trying and I will be able to do all the moves eventually. I followed that with Yoga for Relaxation session 1 which I believe was 35-40 minutes long. Very relaxing, a lot of supported (with a bolster and blankets) restoration poses. I felt great after this. A lot of time for meditation and feeling my body. Very centering.
This morning I did Firm Maximum Cardio Burn Abs. I finally got the front back right, front back left part. Usually I am just making it up as I go along. I am so thrilled to finally get that down. Choreography really does get easier for those of you who struggle in the beginning. I promise, because it has for me - just keep trying. Anyway - this was a great workout, the leg press segments really got my heart rate up and I was sweating away.
Good news - I'm pretty sure I have lost another pound! I weigh every morning and the last two it has been down to 189! I will make it official with my weigh-in on Wednesday. Here's to watching the scale continue to go down and my fitness increasing!
Well off to get the baby fed, ready for church and the 5 year old up. Today is my toughest day eating wise since we go to my parent's house and they keep a lot of typical grandparent's treats for the kids. The problem is the mommy has no will-power at times. But I will perservere today. If I eat a treat, it won't be much.
Oh - speaking of treats. DH got out the ice cream last night (moose tracks - my favorite), but I only took a couple of bites. I am afraid he is trying to sabotage me a little. We have a friend who's wife lost a lot of weight, it completely changed her and she left him. I wonder if he is afraid of that. Trust me I love my DH - he is the perfect man for me, flaws and all, so I won't leave him, besides I really don't want to ever enter the dating arena again! So he is stuck with me. I just want to lose weight for my health, to be an example to the boys and yes to look even sexier for DH!
Good luck to all of you who are striving for weight loss/fitness in the coming year! Please leave comments - I would love to visit your blog for inspiration and motivation!
Have a great day!
