I know it has been a while since I have posted. We had some pretty busy holidays!! I found out I am expecting another baby which is due around August 23, less than 10 days after his/her big sisters first birthday. Although this was not expected or planned my husband and I ate very excited! :) My weight loss journey will be on hold for now, but I am still working out. I will start posting my workouts at least a couple times a week. I am currently at 143 lbs. my goal for this pregnancy is to not go over 165 lbs. Go to my homepage for more on my birth plan 😃

My Fitness Goals
Considering my baby has just turned 4 months old, I am very happy to say that I am finally (it feels like it took forever) back to my pre pregnancy weight of 136 lbs (I weighed 176 lbs the day before my daughters birth and 160 lbs after she was born). Although I can get my old jeans back on and buttoned I still have a bit of a "muffin" top. I would like to lose that and preferable get into a size 3. Being 5'2" I personally think that would be a healthy size/weight for me :) I know some people are built differently so I am by no means saying I think a size 6, 10, etc. is fat, because I do not think that.
Now I have been trying to eat relatively healthy, which is extremely hard since we are in the holiday months. I am planning to start trying to eat mostly paleo. I know it will take me a while to stop eating dairy all together, because I love cheese. I tend to include it in almost every meal. (Learn more about paleo diet Here) This will be very hard for me to do, but I have told my husband my plans of changing our eating, so other than buying a few snacks for him I plan on not purchasing anything "man made" other than coffee after Christmas.
Along with my eating habits I plan to change my workout routine from 3-4 days a week to 5-6 days a week. This is sometimes hard with a baby, but she is usually good long enough for me to do a 20 minute hiit training workout, or I get up really early and workout before she wakes up. I do a mixture of my own workouts, Bodyrock workouts, and Back on Pointe workouts. Changing it up makes it a little easier for me to stick to my workout schedule :)
Now I have started a 30 day Squat Challenge. On the first day I did 100 squats and after that I add 5 squats per day so:
Day1: 100
Day2: 105
Day3: 110 and so on
I will keep you posted on how I am doing throughout the 30 days. If anyone wants to join me, that would be great!!! You do not have to start at 100. Start with 10, 20, 30, or whatever number you feel comfortable with. You are going to get some type of benefit from using your muscles daily!
Well that's all for today! I hope everyone has a fit week :)
