Today is a new day, a new beginning. Life is good. You make it what you want it to be!
My baby girl, Ariel, is 5 months old. She is such a joy to behold. I never knew having a baby could be so much fun and bring so much joy. The thing I love best is her smile. She greets me every morning with a big grin when I get her out of bed. It brightens my day. She is growing fast and should be rolling over any day now. She has begun to scoot around in a circle on the floor and loves chewing on everything! Can we say drool? It is a privilege to watch her grow.
I have been working out at the gym regularly. It is nice to have a gym which has childcare available. I do have to pre-schedule it and I know that if I wasn't doing that, I probably wouldn't be working out as much as I am. I currently at 4 days a week for 1hour and am increasing that to 5-6 as time/childcare/etc allows. Currently on the treadmill I am doing an interval of sorts...I walk at 4.0 for 6 minutes, then run at 5.2 for 2 minutes...do this 3-4 times depending if I'm doing 30 or 45 minutes cardio. If I'm on the elliptical, I am sure to increase speed at 6 minutes also. I like to switch between the two cardio machines. I am also doing weights. Legs, Arms, Chest is my switch up and I do some abdominals everyday. Having a baby really, really weakened them. I have already seen an improvement as I can do 40 crunches on the ab machine at 20 lbs. The first time I did it, I couldn't even move the machine and tweaked out about 5 at 10 lbs. So, definite improvement.
I have joined up on Buffmother.com for the Sexy in 70 challenge. I am hoping it will help me to stay motivated as well as give me new ideas for workouts! I want to lose this excessive weight I have and look and feel GOOD!
