| I am back! And I am determined to get back into shape. So I want to keep my motivation high and hold myself accountable. And so far things are going great (today was Day 1!). I am going to try to ease myself into workouts so as not to get discouraged. And with 3 kids now, many of my workouts will be treadmill/at home workouts.
Today I got out and ran 1 mile (slightly downhill) in 8:15, walked 0.25, ran 1 mile (slightly uphill) in 8:45, walked 0.25. Total time: 25 min. A half mile into the workout everything hurt. Lungs, legs, etc.
Did a few situps, stretching, and lunges with my girls.
And I am putting my weight up to hopefully motivate myself to work on getting the baby weight off. And going to try to limit the times I step on the scale initially (to start hopefully just once a week). So goal #1 is getting down to 137, my pre-baby #3 weight. Goal #2 will be 128 (pre-baby #2 weight), and goal #3 is a long road...but hopefully back to 123, my pre-baby #1 weight!

| Fit Home Rivalry workout
2 sets of 1 min squat, 1 min situp, 1 min push up, 1 min wall balls, 1 min v-ups
2 min rest in between sets
Here are my results: set 1: 39, 22, 30, 30, 18 set 2: 38, 16, 27, 31, 16
struggled with set 2, but tried to keep quality over quantity. Especially need to get my ab muscles going again! Situps don't really hurt, I just struggle to get those muscles even working at all. Excited to see my progress over time.
Hoping for an afternoon walk once again

| Three mile church loop. Didn't wear a watch.
Stepped on the scale nearly every day this week, and everyday it said I weighed more and more, until today when I went right back to where I was. So I need to try to just weigh on Saturdays so I don't get frustrated.
Felt like I made healthier food choices this week as well. Didn't have dessert most nights (I was eating ice cream every night before). I think this was mainly due to our busy week, and by the time I got the baby to sleep we were too tired to eat dessert anyway. So hopefully I can keep that up!

| Three mile treadmill run. Did one of the pre-programmed intermediate workouts. Most of the time I felt like I should up the pace a bit, but I was worried if I did speed up it would cause me to need to take a break. So yes, I completed 3 full miles without stopping, even if it was slower.
The workout was a warmup, 1 min @6mph (2.0 incline), 30 seconds @5.5mph(3.0 incline), 1min @6mph, 30 sec @5.5mph and so on. Followed by a cooldown.
Felt like a good workout and one that will help me get faster.

| Met up with friend and our double strollers to go for a walk. Weather was gorgeous. Nice to get out, even with all the kids. My friend is 14 weeks pregnant so we didn't push it too hard, but anything is better than nothing. We walked for 45 min or so.
Came home and did Holly's workout.
30 sec Line Shuffle (10ft)
20 V-ups
30 sec Line Shuffle
20 Plank
30 sec Line Shuffle
30 mountain climbers
30 sec Line Shuffle
30 Full Superman
3 min Rest
Repeat.
14:50. Including rest time. But I completely modified the v-ups or I would never have finished the workout. I felt like I was struggling with form on the first set, so instead I did "suitcase" situps the second set. My ab muscles are still getting back into shape. 64 shuffles.
