Let's Get It Started!

Ok, so this week marks my first week back into the fitness groove. Woot woot! Well, I did go out for a run at 6 weeks, been walking 1-3 times a week, a bit of p90x and did some plyometrics in between weeks 6 and 10, but I'm getting back into a training regimen and scheduling my workouts. If I dont have them scheduled, I just wont do them. Or I feel like I didn't work out hard enough.

Anyway, the biggest bummer is that I have some residual pelvic pain so I have to start sslllooowwwww or I can barely walk the next day. So, my training schedule reflects that. What is AWESOME though is that it is much better this time. After Jack I could barely walk for 3 months! So, way to go ME!

This week's schedule:
Sunday:
nada! (we were traveling from our friend's and I also came down with an awesome sore throat)
Monday: Plyometrics with the hubs (10 reps of the following: jump squats, lunge jumps, push ups-man style first, tuck jumps, throwing a medicine ball back and forth, long jumps, low lying jumps and a neat partner ab exercise)
Tuesday: 35 min run/walk with my lovely sister in law (1 min jog, 90 sec walk), 1 hour beach walk with my dear friend, Sara
Wednesday: couch to 5k run with sister in law (30 mins of run/walk as above), planks and abs
Thursday: couch to 5k run with sister in law (30 mins of run/walk as above)
Friday: Plyometrics with the hubs
Saturday: Probably p90x Yoga or Cardio

Only bummer: 1) sunrise is late (7am) so I have to time my runs just right with my sister in law to cover kidcare and 2) its been raining so frelling much around here! I love running in the rain but man, it's been a LOT! And strong storms, too. But, whatever! I teach boot camp-rain or shine, people!!

Speaking of which, APRIL 25th BOOT CAMP STARTS!!! Are you coming??? I'm so excited! I have new workouts, new ideas that will get your body moving and sculpt that body!

I'm BAAAACK!!

Hello there, blog world! I took a hiatus. I had every intention to blog while I was pregnant.

But I was pregnant. The brain and the energy was GONE.

I had a baby. Now I have double the trouble running around my house!

At this point in time, I am now 7 weeks and 3 days postpartum. I've had the clear to work out since February 28th. So, this is my attempt at sharing you my experience as I try to "bounce back" after having another kiddo! So, please follow me...I'll share the good, the bad and the ugly of dropping the pregnancy pounds and getting back to my prepregnancy fitness level. I miss 3-5 mile runs already! *Le sigh*
