~Baby in May 2013-Getting Fit-NTNP #2 :) Lets do this!

[faithforbaby]

I find myself on here a lot lately and looking for people who are NTNP/TTC #2 with a LO less than 4 mos. I am ecstatic to say that our LO was born in May and I am so in love with being mom that the smile just stays on my face when I look at her. She is worth every pound on my tummy! ...along with those beautiful stretch marks!

I am sure there are other ladies out here who are NTNP #2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) and are ready to get fit in the process!

I figure if I start a journal/thread, I will keep myself accountable and get my workouts in. So far the past three weeks have been great. I have been getting a lot of walking/weights in and running on the other days. I have been very good at logging my food in My Fitness Pal.

A little back ground. We TTC #1 for 1 year and 7mos and then sought out fertility specialist. I have PCOS, so I was started on Clomid and the ovidrel trigger shot. With success, we concieved our daughter after the second round. In my life I have ever only gotten AF three times on my own. The first AF I got was when I was 18 and it was VERY VERY heavy for 11 days! I was put on BCPs to regulate and came off of them shortly after being married. From here on out, there will be no contraceptives used and we will live our lives ready for a baby at any moment.

I think staying fit and healthy is very important, especially for child bearing purposes! Don't get me wrong, I am not some 100 pound, calorie counting, crazy with work outs girl. I am just health concious, watch what I eat and always get my heart pumping with all different exercises. I LOVE to run!

Pre pregnancy I was 140-145lbs, and have been since I started running 3 years ago. (Prior to that I was always 130.) I guess it's true about muscle weighing more than fat.

At delivery was 162lbs (total gain of 22lbs) 11 weeks post baby I am sitting at 154lbs. Starting to look and feel better every day. I always have to remind myself that when you start to get back to working out, you gain a little and then start to lose. Soooo ready to see the scale numbers drop. More imporantly, I want my body in prime shape to feel good and be ready for ttc #2.

Who is with me!?! I know this is long, but I know this can be a super positive and successful thread! Lets stick together. I plan to update daily.

Todays weight 154
Goal for Monday 8.26 is 152

Good morning/afternoon/night to all!! Today is going to be a great day full of lots of success. If you are serious about your fitness goals, follow the thread! I am a positive person and I LOVE seeing people meet goals..along with getting those beautiful s!!

So far the morning has been great! I've had a bowl of oatmea and a cup of coffee so far today. A large glass of water is in order in the next hour along with a yogurt. KEEP that metabolism going, and eat small every couple hours. Heading out for a jog with LO and the stroller soon after! I may not get far, but it is farther than sitting on the couch!!

Now come on, I know you are all out there! Let's reach these goals, look great, feel great and keep motivated!!


Weigh in: FRIDAY!!!

 

[faithforbaby]

Morning breakfast done, and baby fed! Getting ready to do 30 day shred day 2! For the past couple weeks it has been running and mild weight lifting. Ready for a change up! Good luck to all with your health and fitness goals!

 

[faithforbaby]

Holy cow! I feel the soreness today. I did day two yesterday, and then I also took a long walk with my little one Today, I am aiming for a 2 mile jog plus day 3 of the 30 day shred. I'm supposed to go out tonight to dinner with some friends, & I want to make sure I burn enough calories in case I indulge too much!

My arms and legs are killing me from Jillian, but I know that that is a good burn!

I wish everyone else well with their fitness goals today, wherever you may be!!!

 

[faithforbaby]

Day 3 done and in the books!! Holy cow am I sore. It is currently raining here (well...sprinkling), but thats not stopping me. Heading out for a short run!

Not sure if anyone is reading or not, but again! I hope you are doing good with fitness and health goals!! Have a great day!

 

[faithforbaby]

YahooO! I did go out for that run yesterday. I was intending on just doing 1 mile since it was raining, and ended up doing 2! Today, I am feeling a little less sore and ready to knock out day 4 of 30DS.

Feeling kind of silliy though, as I woke up and started cleaning and getting LO ready for the day. I forgot to eat breakfast! Getting some other stuff done around the house, eating lunch and then doing DAY 4!

Have a great day!

 

[faithforbaby]

On day 6 of 30 DS! I took Saturday off and did a 3.6 mile run where I PRd by 40 sec!! Yahoo! I then took Sunday to heal a little from soreness. I am soo ready to start day 6 and knock it out of the park!



Todays Weight: 152
Goal Weight for Friday 8.30.13 = 150

 

[faithforbaby]

Day 6 done and in the books! LO seems a little fussy today, but I still managed to get it in Feeling less sore which allows me to put even more effort into it!

Hoping to maybe also get a 2 mile run in tonight. Apparently today could possibly be a fertile day for me, so DH and I may try

Hope readers are having a great day! ...Although most are read and run...bo big deal!

 

[faithforbaby]

Yahooo!!

Another workout in for the day! It ended up being more of a walk/jog rather than a run due to it being sooo HOT! I was under my calorie goal, and feel I made very good eating choices!

Each day, I feel like this is getting easier to make good decisions on MAKING TIME for the workouts and staying in charge when it comes to eating out for dinner.

Again, I didn't eat breakfast today. I tried to make up for it by eating some more fruit!

Night all!

 

[faithforbaby]

Day 7 done of 30 DS!!! I also went ahead and went to a 1hr step class in town that incorporates weights and abs

I am feeling soooo positive lately about getting this body back in prime! I have ALWAYS been the person that said having babies will NOT make me get too big.

I am really hoping to atleast lose 1 pound this week. I weigh in Friday, and based on my calorie intake (1500 cals) daily, I feel like I can do it.

Currently, LO is sitting in my lap sleeping and I have lullabys on in the background. Feeling soo blessed!

 

[faithforbaby]

Day 8 is here!! Holy cow, before I know it I will be on to Cycle 2! I have been very busy with LO and housework today, and I have not exercised yet.

I have, however been very good with what I ate and I am getting ready to head out for a 2 mile run and then do 30DS.

On another note...I think I may be fertile and LO #2 could be in the near future We shall see!!!

Have a great evening everyone!

 

[faithforbaby]

2 miles done!! Starting 30 DS now...sweating my butt off, but feeling the burn and loving it!!!

If you haven't done your workout yet today, there is still time!! Get to it!

I love your enthusiasm DH & I aren't NTNP; part of the reason we're actually waiting is so I can lose some weight so I'd love to join you on this! I have the 30 Day Shred too so it'd be fun to do it "together" & keep up with each other's progress
