SOOOO Sore!!

UGH, I can't move. Our 1st week, and I've lost 2.8 pounds! Yay! OK, so I was hoping for maybe 4, but I'll take it. Actually, I miscalculated my calorie intake and wasn't eating enough. So the good news is that this week I get to eat more. Woohoo! Hopefully next week I'll have a weight loss that better matches my workout efforts. I'm seriously sore. Kettlebells class Monday, followed by a hard cardio workout on Tuesday, followed by Biggest Looser workout today. Yikes! I almost couldn't get up the stairs to put Ty to bed tonight. Good times.

The kids have been good. Lately Larson and Ali have been incredibly obnoxious, which is a little irritating. This summer will be very interesting. Ty isn't crawling or walking yet but wants too. He gets on his little hands and knees and goes backwards. I can't imagine his frustration. Ty's new favorite past-time.....pulling Ali's hair.

Workouts begin

I'm on my third day or working out and counting calories. The workouts are going great! I'm not AS sore as I thought I would be, and I feel that my arm and tummy muscles are getting stronger. The calorie part is harder. Being home most of the day it's tempting to open the cupboards and eat. Going out it's tempting to buy all the junk food I'm craving. Worse yet, eating out. We went to Applebees for my mom's birthday and it was really hard to not get desert. The 550 calorie menu was a life saver.

Gorgeous day!

What a day! I'm exhausted. Ty woke up early, but promptly fell asleep on the recliner for another 1-1/2 hrs. Unfortunately, the recliner was backed up against the wall. Yay for me. :(

We hit the gym this morning for my pre-Biggest Looser workout. I can't believe I start the program on Wednesday. Thirteen weeks and I should be back to pre-baby shape. Woo hoo! I'm excited to get started and at the same time not looking forward to the work.

After Ty's nap we drove into town, parked the car and walked. It was absolutely gorgeous outside today. Perfect temp for playing outside and no bugs! We hit the DQ (last chance DQ run) and two parks. We spent all afternoon outside. So a workout at the gym and a two-hour walk pushing a 55 pound stroller all in one day. I may be sore tomorrow morning.

Larson started Track and Field today. He seemed to really love it. I am SO hoping he'll like this. It's a sport without sticks or balls involved....should be perfect. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.
