Day 1- I feel like I'm already dying

Have you ever worked out so much, or so little in my case where you could feel your heartbeat in your chest? Or you felt like you could throwup the egg english muffin that you had for breakfast? That 's what today's workout was like for me.

It started out with getting Kaiden ready for the day, breakfast consisted of cerela and peaches for him, and an egg over easy on a dry english muffin and water for me. Followed by some playtime for Kaiden and mommy checking her grades, studying for midterm, Farmville and Facebook and then baby went down for a nap. So I decide I would take this quiet opportunity to utilize the 1-hour Cardio workout on my Bob Harper Cardio Inside Out Method dvd that I have. It clearly states on the dvd that you should start out with the 25 minute workout for awhile first until you feel comfortable but I'd grown tired of the mini workout and decided to see how far I could get into the hour long one. Turns out I can make 18 mins 32 secs. and thats also counting Kaiden waking up from his nap along with me feeling like I was going to throw up.

I will say what I did get done was something I would consider to be a great workout. I'm still sweating, It hurts to walk because my legs feel like Jell-O and my fingers shake as I'm typing this. Now I need to cool down, make some Green Iced Tea, finish my water and give Kaiden lunch. I'm assuming though that I can now give myself goals in starting to see how far I can go into the dvd workout until I'm fully comfortable in finishing it. This will work great with my Biggest Loser Family Cookbook that my grandmother so graciously gave me in an Easter Basket she won at work last year. Great workout and great challenges....maybe with a little work we'll start to see the baby weight melt off. :)


By the way?....Have you all done your Daily Healthy Challenge?

My new path to losing the baby weight....

Well, we'll see how this one goes.

I'm not the type for fad diets; i.e. Graperfuit, South Beach, Atkins, Special K or necessarily for fad diet pills; i.e. Hydroxycut, Quicktrim, or Alli. Not that I believ they don't work, Im sure they work marvelously....for certain people. I can honestly say it's been going on 8 months now since I had my son and instead of sticking to my adamant prophecies that I WOULD lose the baby weight & that I wouldn't be that "fat mom". I can say that I am finally admitting defeat.

I'm 22 years old, mother of one and I have nowhere near lost the baby weight the way I had originally intended to. In fact, I've actually gained 5 lbs. Now some of you may think that that's not much but for me it is incredibly bad. I was a size 3 when I got pregnant and can now only squeeze my post-baby body into a pair of 9's.  But today is a new day, I will be going "Balls to the wall" in starting a new cardio & strength interval weight loss program. Normally I am very bad at sticking to these things but I am hoping that with the help of this new Blog and food diary that I will  be at least close back to a healthy pre-baby body.

Along with the food diary I will personally be keeping and this blog, I will invite my readers to try new recipes as I come across them as I am quite the cooking fanatic. So here goes nothing.....ON TO HEALTHY MOMMY BODY!!!! lol

I do however invite everyone to start taking Daily Challenges to help make themselves healthier.
