fit mamas 9/8 -9/13

[intensityjunkie]

well I'll get us started since it hasn't happened yet. not feeling very fit lately. I hate all pics taken of me. kinda getting depressed about it. but when I get home I'm going to go gung ho. this weekend we went to shenandoah. I did a 3 mile hike(total) to a waterfall carrying Liam most of the way. that was a nice little w/o. esp cause the way back was all up hill. felt like I was doing weighted steps on the high step some spots.

here are two pics of Liam.

Hope everyone else is doing well.


Jen-lucky you on loosing all the weight. mine isn't budging. I'll have to wage war on it when I get home from my parents. I'm here another couple weeks. they like to feed me good here too. I'm trying to do my best on eating.

hi jess! i wonder if everyone is busy with kids going back to school. i think mine was latest, ods just started today. hope others will come out of the woodwork soon to say hi! enjoy the time with your family! you will have time to focus on workouts soon enough when you get home. it is always so hard when away. liam is an absolute dollface! so cute!! i hate pics of myself, too... i am still 25 lbs over my pre-pg weight plus it is really more complicated than # on scale because i lost so much muscle tone during the pregnancy/pp.

so i finally had my knee appt and it is not a surgery-type issue (i was really worried about that) but something to do with the tendons behind my kneecap, cant recall the name right this sec... he couldnt pinpoint how this happened but thought some or all of the following: loosening during pg and pp, quick weight gain, exercising in certain ways too soon pp, muscle imbalance. need to work on it by strengthening my quads and inner thighs as my other lb muscles are much stronger. pt soon but for now he gave me exercises to do at home.

i am having a lot of trouble with this site still and dont know why, dh cant figure it out. so i havent been able to use the workout mgr which is a bummer and also havent been able to navigate around the forums without glitch after glitch. but the last few weeks have been a combination of power yoga (i am up to 30 minutes at a time on my wrists) and firms from the library, christi taylor workouts on myfbn.com (free!), and cathe ub (pub, mm, bm2). i just broke down and bought christi's fit to dance because i liked it so much, plus ultimate cardio core, squeeze, and shiva rea fluid power - you can never have too many videos! lol!!! so much for my spending hiatus.

JJ is still not sleeping well at night but he has 4 teeth in a row coming in and i know it hurts him., im just trying to wait it out and keep from being a zombie!

hi kate, stephanie, sydney, trish, lisa... where are ya?

Hi Mammas!!!!

cold is finally gone!!! It was a rough week last week. One day, I slept for 12 hours straight!!! but I'm feeling good today. I made it to the gym and was able to spend 40 min on the treadmill. I did a mile in 9:30min !! I am soo happy about that. Then did some hill work and finished up with some fast sprints. I have my beachbody DVD to do tonight.

Wendy.... 4 teeth @ one time....oh my.... I do hear you about the videos though I will never tell how many I counted over the weekend but variety is the spice of life right???

Jess... I'm with you with the weight. I lost 5lbs last month, but I'm dreading stepping on the scale this week having not done a thing last week!!!
hi everyone...... check in soon..

here are some pics of Anna..

Hi mamas!

I'm a horrible, terrible Cathe friend. I've been so pre-occupied lately that I haven't had time to post. I hope that you all are doing well and your babies are doing well!!

Between going out of town, getting back to school, soccer with the big boys and right now bad colds all around (yuck!), I've been away and oh how I've missed you all!!!

Finished up CLX. LOVED it! I lost about 17 pounds with it. And now I've started Cathe's Pure Strength series and plan on doing a four-day split rotation with it (two upper, two lower body weight workouts per week), plus two days of cardio. The leg one about kicked my butt last night. LOVE it!!

Hope to be better about posting in the future. You guys keep me on track and inspired. I totally feel off balance when I'm not checking in!!

((Hugs))

Steph -way to go on the weight loss!! its ok were all busy about posting.

Sydney - well I haven't done much in like 3 weeks and will be 6 before I get home. I'm avoiding the scale till I get home and workout for atleast a week. Unfortunately I keep getting headaches again and am not feeling well. ugh. Anna is SO cute!

Wendy -I hope JJ feels better soon! glad your knee won't need surgery. hope the exercises work. sorry the site is acting up for you.. ? I dunno either.

Yall's babies are so adorable!! Here's one of Charlie that I'm sending on his bday party invitation. His party is next month, and we took this outside a couple of weeks ago in the sweltering heat. He was such a trooper!

Stephanie your little pumkin is a cutie too.... yu did soooo good on the weight loss!! I have the CLX but I am stuck on Cardio. Insanity and running. I did do a 28 min DVD a few nights ago (sculpt 1-2 from power 90) I used 5lb weights and felt it the next day.... sad.....

[Stephanie0523]

Sydney-- Your routine sounds much MUCH tougher than mine! I'm scared of Insanity!

Hope everyone is having a good evening!

Gotta go watch the Pres. Later taters!
