I can't believe how fast these past 8 weeks flew by. While I had hoped for more weight loss, I'm not surprised that it didn't happen. Committing yourself to daily workouts is very difficult while raising a family and running a blog full-time. I've learned a few things about myself during this journey... 1) I'm physically stronger than I had given myself credit for. 2) My lack of commitment is holding me back from … [Read more...]
The last two weeks have been extremely rough for a number of reasons. My schedule, family activities and all of the little things in between have really knocked me off course with my workouts with the Total Gym. It's a sad truth, but I've fallen back into the role of putting everyone's needs before my own and my dedication to fitness has taken a back seat. But I'm not giving up, I'm a fighter and I'm going to … [Read more...]
During Week 4 of the Total Gym Challenge, I was fighting off feelings of discouragement with my lack of weight loss. Last week, those feelings really took hold of me again when I stepped on the scale to see very little change. But physically, I feel stronger. My lower body workouts are a breeze and my upper body workouts are becoming less of a struggle. I've seen the changes of strength in not only my workouts … [Read more...]
"Don't get discouraged!" "Don't get discouraged!" "Don't get discouraged!" Over the last two weeks I've found myself repeating that phrase in my head over and over again. Every weigh in, every measurement ... it feels like a set back when I don't see numbers dropping. But, I also have to remind myself that no change is better than gaining weight. I'm not living the life of The Biggest Loser and I certainly … [Read more...]
I'm a bit late updating my journey, what can I say, I'm a busy mom, even busier now that I've been working out more consistently. In fact, I've been using the Total Gym every single day and have gotten down a pretty good routine. When I first started using the Total Gym I struggled with remembering where each part went, how to change the wing attachment, which is fabulous for pull-ups by the way, something I could … [Read more...]
Week one is done, it's over and I'm EXHAUSTED! I knew coming into this that the Total Gym Challenge would be physically exhausting, what I hadn't prepared for is how emotionally exhausting it would be. The constant struggle to find the motivation to get out of the chair and into a workout was something I've battled with every single day this past week. Aside from the workouts, I've also been struggling with food … [Read more...]
To say I'm nervous right now would be the understatement of the year. Why nervous? I'm about to embark on an 8 week fitness challenge. Every single week I'm going to share my ups, my downs, my diet cheats and probably a few tears along the way as I work to take back my pre-pregnancy, pre-mommy body as part of the Total Gym, Total Mom Fitness Challenge. It's no secret that my family and friends have seen my … [Read more...]
