Workout Wednsday #2

My workouts
I haven't been able together in as many bike rides as I wanted. Papabird has been working on the garage so I didn't have anyone to watch the baby and  I cannot take her with me.

I  started incorporating some DVD workouts, I planned to start  Jillian Michaels 30 shred program but there was no disk in the case! So I  moved on to shred it with weights.

I had a  few set back in my workouts this week. I tripped over a large log a child of mine out in the driveway  while getting into my car and  hurt my ankle pretty bad. I can walk on it but it hurts pretty bad. NOWAY I could do some of the cardio in those DVD with my ankle so I  did lot on upper body strenght training to get rid of the undder arm jiggle!

I did most of the workouts on this site and added in skull crushers as well.

I did not finish through the 30 day squat challenge, I got halfway through then quit I am still exersizing just doing more than just squats now.

Weightloss  2  more pounds 13 more to go to get to goal #1

My favorite snack
8 oz of coconut almond milk
1 frozen banana
1 T of caco powder
1-2 T of chia seeds.

My favorite green juice
6-8 Kale leaves
8 celery stalks
2 -3 cucumbers
3 green apples ( must be green)
2-3 lemons ( peeled)

Makes 2-3 quarts so you have lots to drink all day.

I may add a few raw eggs  from my hens to this In the future to up my protien intake.

Love this one.

Workout Wednsday 8 weeks postpartum. #1

What is workout Wednesday ?
Well  at least once a month (maybe even 4 times a months) I will post what I am doing during my workouts, my weight-loss ,  and a current favorite healthy meal or snack (maybe both.)

I am really an all or nothing type of person. I wanted to jump right into working out  doing high intensity interval training again but I know I need to start slow, as I have had a few set backs in recovery already doing too much too soon ( blood clots, hemorrhaging and mastitis),

My workouts:
So here  is what I have been doing since May 1st.
Walking -about a mile or two each walk in the park with the kids.
Bike riding -Robin and I went on a few 30 min bike rides (she doesn't go as fast as I like but her legs are much smaller than mine, so a light easy bike ride for me is a hard bike ride for her.) When I go on bike rides with her I try and stand as much as possibly holding a squat position just over my seat to make it more of a workout.)

I have gone on a few bike rides by myself. I go much farther, faster and longer by myself.

 I started the 30 day challenge with the kids every day we All do the squats and push-ups.

A few times this month   I did my squats while holding the baby. Not because I wanted to but because she was cranky and wanted to be held, and not be  put down. So I had the extra added bonus of 14  more pounds to lift yay!

My favorite  snack this week:

Sugar snap peas with some organic Greek dressing.

Weight loss - 4 pounds.

I have been quite sore, but it is the kind of sore that I LOVE. It is the feeling of getting stronger and reshaping my body.
