Ok, I can't believe I started this blog on December 13th and haven't blogged since. Man did the holiday season fly.
The good news is - I worked out and ate fairly well over the holiday season! I even weighed myself on Christmas Eve and I had lost 3 lbs - down to 180 even. That puts me at exactly 20 lbs away from my 'pre-pregnancy' weight. I was stoked!
I ended 2011 with a 2 mile walk with Ireland. The weather was very warm and I put on my shapeup-esque sneaks and pushed my baby to some tunes. It was honestly relaxing and so nice to get out. We started 2012 with a 7 mile bike ride at the loop. I was only about 5 minutes behind MP's time. Yes, I know that 5 minutes is a LONG time when it comes to racing times, but it made me feel better that it was not horrific.
Yesterday I gave myself the day to just relax with Ireland. We met Dad for lunch and hung out. As a trade off for now working out - I only ate 1/2 of my lunch and got a side salad instead hummus and pita. Additionally, at night I did some cleaning as a way to burn a little fuel before becoming a couch potato!
Today, I ate well - lots of fruits and veggies and even tapped into some fresh grapefruit for some snacks. I did my cardio day on my post-natal bootcamp and the HIIT kills me. I'm feeling more in shape with each workout, but still feel so far away from the shape I used to be in!
I can do this!! I also really need a scale....we do not have one in our house....fail! :)
