Weight Goals Week 2

Well, this week I've had an even harder time getting to they gym. I managed to go twice this week. BOO!!!! I really wanted too. But I'm a little concerned about my milk supply. Yes, I'm still nursing. On Wednesday I just felt a little low. So I stayed home. And last night, all Dexter wanted to do was nurse. There was no way that I was going to the gym. And I'm a little embarrassed to work out in front of my hubby. Lame, I know. I might go this morning, we have friends coming over tonight. I'm thinking of just going every other day now for a bit. I don't want to dry up. I love nursing Dexter, and I do have a history of drying up. Not from exercise, but from stress. We'll see.

I've had a few requests to share my workouts. I haven't asked Annie if I could. She did do this for me for free, even though she could have charged me for consulting her. I'm not sure the terms of all this. But, I'll share, and hopefully she won't get up set.

First, I do 45 minutes on the elliptical. Every day. (Treadmills and I don't get along. I get really bad shine splints whenever I get on one)
Then I follow this:

M-Total body
T-Core/20 min cardio
W-Total Body
Th-Core/20 min cardio
Fr-Total Body
Sa-Core/20 min cardio

Now, I haven't done my total body work out yet. I've been working my way up to doing that. I know, I'm chicken. But her total body work out KILLS!

TOTAL BODY


20 reps-Body weight squats(keep your knees back behind your toes, abs tight, knees straight ahead, and squeeze that booty when your standing up)
20 reps-Pushup w/ kickback to burpee
20 reps toal-Alt Front Lunges
100 reps-Jumping Jacks
Rest 30 sec-then repeat circuit 2 more times (3x total)

20 reps-Plie Squats
20 reps total-Side hop to side Lunge
15 reps-Dips on bench or chair
20 reps each leg-Static Lunges
1 min-Iceskaters

Rest 30 sec-then repeat circuit 2 more times (3x total)

20 reps(each time u hop is one rep)-Foreward lunge-center hop-reverse lunge
10 reps-Military pushups(do as many as you can with good form then go to knees)>alt with the plank. Do 5 pushups then 5 pushup position planks with knee in then 5 etc till you hit 20.
10 reps-Plank with knee in
12 reps each leg-Single leg squat touch to reach(Use 2 cans for this one.)
100 reps-Jumping Jacks
Rest 30 sec-then repeat circuit 2 more times (3x total)

CORE



1.Plank hold (on your elbows) your goals for right now is 30 sec. Keep your back flat and your elbows directly under your shoulders. Keeps your abs and booty tight.
2.Supermans-20 reps
3.Glute Bridges-20 reps
4.Side Plank Pulse-10 reps(Come up on side, make sure you are in a straight line. Hold for 2 sec then come down. Then come directly up. Do 10x each side)
5.2 footed drops-15 reps
6.Standing chops-10 reps each side
7.Single leg deadlift w/ reach hold(10 reps each side)

This is straight from an email she sent me over a year ago. Right now, I just do the elliptical and the core every time I go. I thought that my middle needs the most work right now.  

Now, if you are going to do this, Annie suggested I do this for 3 weeks to build up my strength. I'll share the next one at the end of the three weeks.
I'm planning on starting the total body next week. I'm feeling good about doing that now.

Now, onto the stats! I'm super excited for these! So without further ado:


Starting Weight: 181
Last Weeks Weight: 178
This Weeks Weight: 175
Total Loss This Week: 3
Total Loss: 6
Pounds to Lose: 13

Wow, I think you are seeing great results! I am really excited to be losing weight too with the calorie counting. I hope you don't lose your milk supply. I swear I could not eat or drink anything for a week and I would still have milk pouring out of me (I have the opposite problem you have, which I am not always happy about :) Hope you have a wonderful "blessing" weekend!
