Safe & Sound

That's the song going through my head at the moment. It's catchy. I shall have to download it and add it to my running list.
Speaking of running, I ran six miles on Sunday. In 46:50 no less. It's only the second time since having Emma that I've run that distance so I am quite pleased with my progress. It was on the treadmill and my hips have hurt since, but so what? I did it! In other news, I am still doing well with the 100 challenge and in better news I am going to the chiropractor next week! HURRAH! I can't wait!

"Just Keep Swimming"

Yep, that about sums it up really. I am tired and low energy and depressed by how I look, but I know that I am doing the right things to keep gaining on my goal of getting back to pre pregnancy fitness/strength TRIM!
So I am now on day six of my 100 challenge. It should be day seven, but I skipped Sunday because it was crazy and I literally never had time. Oh well. I ran 15 miles last week, which was encouraging to see the number climb a bit.
I did a kick ass work out Tuesday night, thinking I only had a SHORT amount of time before baby woke up from her after dinner nap, I did my hundred challenge and threw in quarter mile sprints with every round. Then I ran a fast but comfortable mile afterwards and called it a night.
Yesterday I did this workout - http://www.blogilates.com/pop-hiits. And let me tell ya, OUCH! on the burpee to tuck jumps. Yick! Tonight I am trying to decide if I should do weights or go run. BLAHH!!! Probably weights. Oh and baby is rolling over!
Totally unrelated but it's so cute!

I still weigh a lot and am still not eating that great. But as soon as I start her on solids, I will buckle down and get my act together.

CHALLENGE!!!

Ok, so Sunday I ran 4 miles at a 8 mpm pace. Monday I kicked butt in a weight work out... very similar to the one I already posted. Tuesday was off, because my DH is away and yesterday, I ran on the treadmill yesterday and did a smokin' 3 miles in 22:48. Plus I added another mile for a total of 4 in 30:40. I was doing quarter mile sprints so I was exhausted and then I decided to do a challenge.
For one month ,100 air squats, 100 sit ups (real ones) and 100 pushups. I did it and it was not too bad, though I was already very tired.
I ran another four miles today though it was outside and SLOOOWWW.. compared to yesterday. I was tired so there's no surprise there.
I am eating on a time schedule now. It helps me not snake all day and night if I have specific times for meals. So I eat at 7 AM 10-10:30 12:30 3:30 -4 6 PM and 9 PM. I'm hoping to cute out the extraneous snacking and this has helped in the past.

Sore!

Well Monday I FINALLY made it to the gym and did a awesome hard workout with HEAVY weights. (OK, my version of heavy but a lot heavier then I have been doing the last two months or so.)
This is a brief overview of what I did. I do two exercises and switch between them three times so like
Abs/Calves each set 20/12 times then a different exercise/same muscle group.
Then Quads/Hamstrings - which was Back squat and walking lunges. - I worked up to 105 lbs squat and only 20lb lunges.
Chest/Back - Dumbbell bench press/Rows - up to 30 lb dumbbell (ohYA) in both exercises.
Bicep/Triceps - Dumbbell twist curls/and triceps kickback
Shoulder/hips - uprightrows/ side lifts

Tuesday I took the day off because I really needed it.

Wednesday this workout kicked my butt! http://www.blogilates.com/pop-hiits
Thursday I ran 4 miles in 31:25. It was on the treadmill, but it was still a pretty good run though I had to dodge a giant exercise ball that my 2 yr old threw on the treadmill on the last minute...
Eating, well, it's not so good, but it's getting better. I need to grow some will power soon!
