Day 4

I didn't end up going to the gym last night. So instead of doing the leg workout I did this really GREAT circuit workout:

It's pretty fast paced and a definite sweat producer! My legs and arms are SOOOO sore today.

I definitely think I will keep this in my arsenal of workouts! 

Today I'm going to do a 30 min run and the leg workout from yesterday!
 

Day 3!

I'm not feeling so motivated today...which means I need to get my butt MOVING!

Tonight court and I are hitting the gym. I plan on doing a 30 min run and then this fancy little workout from my Pinterest board: http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/top-10-moves-thinner-thighs?page=6

I mean, c'mon! Who doesn't wish there were some more inches separating their inner thighs!? THIS GIRL!

Thanks for all the encouragement friends!  It was very Ghandi-ish wisdom. I am drinking LOTS of water! I'm pretty sure our water bill just might double from all the flushing going on! Holy tiny bladder!

I'm excited to get rid of these 10lbs yes, but even more so I'm excited to just feel good! I already notice more energy and my old lady knees and hips are starting to get stronger! I made a goal to run a 5k this spring and I'm feeling pretty good about it!

Please, if you have any great workouts you  love, feel free to share!!!!!

 

Day 2...starting over

I don't know what happened to my body on Saturday but I got hit hard with something! I was cold, hot, shivering, achy all at the same time and by Sunday night I was totally fine!

I sometimes wonder if my Mother-in-law is right about her Aliens theory!

So..... back on track! I was going to do that great arm workout but Joe ended up getting home from work in time for me to go to the aquafit class at LA Fitness. I've been wanting to go for a while now because I have a bum knee but Joe has been getting home late recently.

I'm not going to lie....I had a vision of a geriatric swimsuit competition....and well, yeah it kind of was...BUT...it was such  a GREAT workout. It was very high-intensity and a major burn! The teacher was probably in his 60's and waaaaaayyyyy more fit and in shape than I am! I really like and am going to try and go back next week. I will however wear a different swimsuit...the girls and I had a close call.

Okay...this is the part where you give me some feedback! I have been trying to lose 10lbs for a year! I finally got down to 135lbs. My problem is I am STUCK!!!!!!! I am doing everything I can possibly think of and still nothing. The really frustrating thing is I feel skinnier and my pants definitely fit more loosely but I gained 2 lbs this week!!! What the heck! I haven't changed any eating habits, or gone on a Krispy Kreme binge or anything. I am so frustrated!

Has anyone had this problem or have some Ghandi-ish wisdom to impart??????

 

Day 2 and 3...a bust!

Sooo, my workout Friday was pretty good. I went to the gym and did the ab workout I posted as well as ran for 10 min on the treadmill and cycled for 10 minutes as fast as I possibly could! I think I did around  miles on the bike.

And then Saturday came and I got SICK!!!!!

So, this post is going to be super short! I'm getting back on the horse tomorrow and will be doing this lovely pinterest workout: http://www.shape.com/blogs/fit-list-jay-cardiello/5-exercises-ditch-arm-flab-forever

Happy exercising!!!

Pinterest 30 day fitness challenge

We all know the saying, "All roads to Hell are paved with good intentions" Well, in this case maybe not to hell, hell as in geographically. But definitely the I have muffin tops, side boobs, back boobs and still look 3 months pregnant HELL! 

Also, if you're like me you have this fancy little board on Pinterest with all these awesome workouts etc...that you haven't even taken a second glance at since the day you pinned them.

I finally feel motivated enough to tackle these last 10lbs that have been the bane of my existence for the past year. I'm starting a 30 day fitness challenge and everyday I'm going to do at least one workout/exercise I pinned on Pinterest! 

I'm using this as my motivation. This was from our Honeymoon and the last time I saw my abdominal muscles!



 Day 1:

This is my first workout I'm doing. This lady's blog is really awesome and has lots of great tips and educational info!

I'm also going to do the 5k loop every night on the treadmill at the gym (and not eat leftover Christmas candy for breakfast eek!)
  

I'll let you know how it went tomorrow!!!!
