The Journey to Get My Body Back: Week 3

This post was first seen on the FIT4MOM Front Range Fit Moms Denver blog. That blog has great content, so please go check it out!

——————————————————————

This is my 3rd out of 8 posts documenting the journey to get my body back via the Body Back program with FIT4MOM Front Range. My experience is unique, because in addition to being a participant in the program, I’m also the instructor! It’s pretty awesome.

BODY BACK WEEK 2

WEIGHT:

At Assessments: 157.6

At the beginning of Week 3: 154.1

Total weight change: -3.5lbs

I’m doing it.

FITNESS:

I said I wanted to bring up the intensity, and I feel I did! The quantity of my workouts was pretty good this week, but I did feel pretty fatigued at the end of it. Of course, the fatigue could be attributed to the fact that I’ve stayed up way too late!

Monday: Nada!

Tuesday: Body Back class – a traveling workout. I didn’t get to workout the entire time so I could instruct as needed, but I was moving for most of it.

Wednesday: Run with 5k group – 8 mins of running alternated with 3 mins of walking, 4 times

Thursday: 20 each of tricep pushups, high knees, resisted side steps, plank jacks, squats with bicep curl and 1 min wall sit x 5. I was SO excited to do a workout alone with no kids… until 2 of them surPRISEd me in the basement. Fantastic. You’ll find the picture below. At least they got in a good workout, too. wall sit with kids

Friday: I taught Stroller Strides. I didn’t do a lot in class, but it took a lot out of me, for some reason. I also did a run with my FIT4MOM 5k group – 7 mins running/4 walking for 4 rounds

Saturday: Body Back class, but I didn’t get to do much of it. Practiced for the March for Babies pre-run warm-up.

Sunday: It was raining! 5k running group – 10 mins running/3 mins walking for 3 round

Nutrition:

OK, so I committed to eating more veggies this week. I kind of did, but not totally. I added more veggies to the Way Easy White Bean Soup recipe in the journal and ate it for several meals (because it’s AMAZING!) I had a salad and more veggies with the Chicken Stir Fry. I still feel like I need to up my game, because I should be having way more servings. To my dismay, after really looking at my food journal, I need to replace some grain-based carbs with veggies. Therefore, although trail mix is my go-to, maybe I should really aim to have veggies and hummus instead. If I weren’t so darn picky with raw veggies, it would be a lot easier.

No excuses – I’ll make it happen!

Heading into Week 4 strong!
