Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Ok here's my info:

Diet Plan: Being going to weight watchers since October and so far I've lost 55 pounds! I just rejoined yesterday.

Exercise Plan: Workout 5-6 times a week. Meet with personal trainer 2 times a week. Walking, gym and 30 day shred dvd rest of the week

Goals: I would like to lose another 35-40 pounds. I would like to get into a size 6-8 jeans. My exercise goal is to increase my endurance, get up to 4 miles on elliptical and eventually I'd like to run a 5K.

I think that's everything, right?

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Week Four Check-In:

Body - no change - gained back .6 lbs but ik why
Endurance - no change
Diet Progress - Going good I think - I am doing much better with my portion control
Workout Progress - I did absolutely nothing again tast week or this week. I have been so tired and stressed out.

I am feeling good about tomorrow's weigh in though. I just hope I don't sabatoge myself today. We have our company picnic today. I think I will be ok though because I don't plan on staying too long. My boss and her boss both can't attend so I can skip out whenever I am ready.

I am also feeling optimistic about next week. I won't be able to exercise much but we are moving back into my parents house (to save money to buy our own house) So my workouts will be packing, moving/lifting boxes and cleaning. Also I think I'll be so busy, I'll probably having to remind myself TO instead of reminding myself NOT TO eat!

I another good thing about moving back to my parents house is that they have a small home gym. So I will be able to workout a little more and have more variety.

Once we are settled in a little bit, I am going start my training schedule for the Diva Half Marathon and start going to the kickboxing classes.

Week Four Check-In

Body - I feel like my belly is getting a little bit flatter and my calf muscles are awesome, so I guess that's SOME improvement. I only lost .7 at yesterdays weigh-in though, for a total of 3.5 pounds. Sigh.

Endurance - I actually haven't gone to the gym because life has been getting in the way, BUT I have been walking with DD every morning. I bought a pedometer but it's crap so I use mapmyrun.com when I get back and today I walked 3.07 miles and only starting getting tired at the end!

Workout Progress - I am going to start the gym up again this weekend, continue walking everyday and alternate crunches and arm workouts everyday, too.

Diet Progress: Okay. Last week I sucked because we had something to do practically everyday. I couldn't wait for the week to be over to get back on track.

week 5 check in:

Your Body: about the same as last week. Clothes are loser on me. Not 1 size down just yet though.

Endurance: Feel lighter. It's not that much weight but it is noticeable when I do activities.

Diet Progress: -3.2Lbs this week. I am sticking to the points. For a total of -10.6Lbs. First mini goal of 10 Lbs achieved.

Exercise Progress: NADA again. Except for work but I had no show clients so I worked even less. MUST do gardening this week.

Week 5:

Body: About the same as last week but I can definitely feel myself toning a bit

Endurance: Pretty good

Diet Progress: Nothing this week I stuck to points and didn't lose an ounce. Very discouraged.

Workout Progress: I did some hard workouts this week - 4 days of alternating kickboxing and spinning and a regular session at the gym yesterday. Each class was at least 45 mins and left me sweating, sore and with my heart rate jacked up. So I know I'm working hard. Maybe my lack of weight loss this week was a muscle tone issue? I don't know. I'm frustrated 4 lbs away from my short-term goal and 8 lbs away from my ideal weight. ARRGGHHH.

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Check in:

Body..no difference

Endurance; Getting better but still not able to do week 4 day 1 of c25k
Diet progress: horrible this weekend but will change my lunches to salads to see if that kick starts something.
workout progess: took the weekend off..starting strong again today!!!

DOWN 2 LBS THOUGH!!!! (not sure how with what I ate this weekend!)

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Body - I dont know what the deal is but it looks EXACTLY the same to me. I must be losing weight in areas Im not concerned about instead of from my stomach which is my trouble area

Endurance - Definite change this week. I finished week 4 of C25K and despite almost passing out on the first day and not being able to finish the last run, the 3rd day was a BREEZE

Diet Progress - down 3 this week! Total lost is 11lbs! 12 more to go!

Workout Progress - I have so many new things Im trying, Im still trying to get into a groove and figure out a schedule. Last week I did 3 days of the c25K, one day of kickboxing, 2 days of my ab dvd. I start yoga one day a week on the 12th. So I need to figure out how to do yoga, 2 days of kickboxing and 3 days of c25K, all well working and taking care of the little guy.

I just have guilt about leaving him at night since I work FT - KWIM? How do you working moms find the time, or if you do, how do you do it without the guilt?

Today is also 5 week not smoking!!!

I do the c25k on M, Tues and Thurs bc DH picks DS up from my moms those days, so I usually have about 45 minutes before they get home to get that in.

Then I have KB on Tuesday and Thurs at 8pm (so Im home for dinner, but miss bath and bedtime). If DH isnt working on Sat, then I will do Sat instead of Thurs nights, just so its an hour out of the entire day instead of the only hour I have with him on Thurs. Then Monday is yoga at 6, so Id go right from work. Id miss dinner, but be home for bed. Plus, I just feel guilt too about me not "pulling my weight" and the bulk of the weeknight care falling on DH shoulders then.

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Body - I feel like my waist is thinner & my thighs have gone down a little (at least that is what my jeans feel like)

Endurance - Definite change this past week. I am finishing up week 4 today, I was going to do it last night but honestly I just couldn't.

Diet Progress - down 4lbs total- not ideal but I started WW this past week, so that is helping.

Workout Progress - I don't have a lot of time. So I'm sticking with C25K & Excercise TV. I'm not very good at working out on the weekends, I need to get better at this. Although I did heavy gardening on Saturday (9am-3pm) and I counted that as MAJOR activity!!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Oops! I played the wrong day podcast on my ipod when I was out running today and started week 5 on day 2 instead of one. I was like *** is this......they arent kidding when they start week 5. Only to realize later that I played the wrong podcast. Oh well.....at least I did it!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

I haven't been weighing myself cuz, hell, it's too depressing. I'm basically focusing on being active regularly. And since last Wednesday, I've worked out every day except Sunday! I did 30ds two nights in a row, then did Stroller Strides Saturday, off Sunday, stroller strides again today and I can't even tell you how working out does WONDERS for my self esteem. Though I'm not back to the size I want to be...I feel like 'me' again. I've been on this crazy high now that I'm back on the workout wagon. I forgot that awesome high I used to get!! Even if it takes a while to see results, I'm just happy that I've started!!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

Body - Feeling pretty huge and good old AF is here this week!

Endurance - Just started C25K on Friday, and even though I only did 2 days so far, it was a little easier yesterday than it was the first day.

Diet Progress - I started WW online this past Friday. I was doing it three months ago and had lost 12.8 lbs in 6 weeks but gained 10.2 back. So, as of Friday, I am down 2.6 total from my original start date.

Workout Progress - C25K Week 1: I don't have a lot of time so right now, C25K is all I can squeeze into my schedule. Since W1D1 was such a shock to my system, and because I started on a Friday, I am going to do an extra day of Week 1 this week and have Sunday be my W2D1. I'm feeling good that I am FINALLY doing this!! Come to think of it, I did take all of the kids to Rita's for an ice on Sunday and we walked there... so I did a little extra walking too!

Thanks for all of the support ladies!!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

what happened to all the mommies??????

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

checking in again - i was away from the computer for a couple days!

i continued my daily physical activity... did less than great on the diet this week though

a family party always throws me for a loop!

didn't weigh yet, but my BM dress for my sister's wedding is looser than it was 2 weeks ago. That's a good sign, right!

And Melissa, congrats on the non-smoking

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 33 members! WEEK FOUR CHECK IN TODAY 6/21!

I just wanted to tell you girls that I think you are all doing amazing! One day when I become a mommy and hope to join you all!

Keep up the great work ladies!

SORRY LADIES! I've been such a slacker on keeping up with this thread.

I finished the school year last Tuesday and went back to work summer school yesterday so it's been a little hectic, but I'll update everything that has been posted so far as soon as I get a chance (should be in a few hours)

Body - Maybe a little change, DH says my butt feel firmer, lol
Endurance - on to level 2 of 30 day shred (modified where I can)
Diet Progress - down .8 this week...I'll take it
