Finished all reps. 

Fitness Goals

I decided I needed to write down some concrete goals that I have for fitness. Mostly so that when I am feeling discouraged, I can look back and say, hey, I might not be doing everything, but I can do this and I have reached these goals. So here is my list in no particular order.

1. Get back to pre-preggo stats. 

2. Handstand push-ups. - Getting these! 1/23/17

3. Handstand walking

4. TTB strung together - Goal reached! Can do about 10 - 15 when practicing 7- 10 when working out.

5. Over 200 lb DL - Got this June 27, 2016 Yippeee!

6. Pistol squats - Got em! August  21, 2016

7. 95#  OVHS

8. Bar muscle ups - getting these with a band 1/1/17

9. Double unders - Got these. Or getting them. 11 strung together! August 2016.

10. 100lb + cleans - Got it! 140 power clean PR 12/20/16

11. Sub 7 min miles (running)

12. PR 10k

13. PR 5K

14. OVHS squat snatch - just to master this movement. 

And I think that is enough to go on! 

Working out

I realize I have hardly been posting. It just seems like so much work at the end of the day.
I have been making progress at getting in my exercising and sometimes I even eat well. Mostly, I just do what I can do and sometimes I get depressed that nothing fits me still, and I am still so much bigger then I would like to be.  But then I look back at Emma's pp posts and remember that I hadn't made any progress at this point either and I still got into best shape I had ever been in and I get over it.
I am so SORE today from Sunday. Holy COW! I made up a WOD and the result was not being able to sit up and my arms hurting like crazy.
It was 5 Rounds of:

10 Pull ups
10 GHD
Run 800 M

It took about 35 minutes and I was so tired afterwards. It was a good feeling. I feel like I might need to switch which site I look at for WOD's as, I am usually never sore. I think I need to do more. I don't WANT to do more, but I think it would benefit me.

I also need to get my S*it together in the eating department. I do well for a couple days, then just throw it all in the garbage because I am hungry and the quickest thing, is something crappy. I feel like I am stronger though and that is progress. I can do pull ups again without too much trouble, which is also progress. I also did a 2 Rep Max in DL of 185# and I probably could have done a bit heavier with a belt at the Gym with more weights. But I was home, and had to work with what I had. So, that is some good news.
I also have been really enjoying Juliet. She is a sweetie! She has started sleeping SOOOO much better and that makes like a lot easier to take and to enjoy too. The older kids have their ups and downs, but so far, the summer has been pretty fun!

3 Months PP

Thank goodness April is almost over!!!!! Soooo many birthdays!!!! AHHHHH! So, we had a party every weekend the entire month of April. First, my birthday. Quiet dinner with our family. Dan cooked. Lovely. Second, Jackson's party. Lots of little kids and a dragon cake. Aces. Next Emma, Jordan and Emily's party. Lots of girls and family and a rainbow cake. Next, Amy's 40th birthday bash. HUGE party with tons of people, and a surprise from my sister April and my parents. Smashing success! And now, we have our annual island hoedown this weekend. It will be fun! BUT WOW!!! I AM READY FOR A WEEKEND OF SITTING ON MY BUTT!

Month:3

Babies Weight: 15# Ridiculous baby is enormous! She is in the 97th percentile for both her height and weight. She is 25.5 inches long. 

Babies Habits: She had a really rough patch of the 45 min intruder for quite a long time. Even now, she usually wakes up early from her naps. But now it's more like after an hour or hour and a half instead of 45 minutes on the dot. She is super happy though. VERY talkative and noisy. She loves to lay down on the bed and kick and talk to people. She isn't as smiley yet as Emma. Emma would smile at everyone, and Juliet likes to smile and those she knows. She also is not to keen on strangers. But, I think that is fairly normal. Emma was an extremely friendly child, so I have to remember the norms or the average child.
She eats at 6, 8:30, 11:30, 2:30, 5:15 7:30 8:30 and then goes to bed for the night.

Milestones: She has started sleeping through the night! Yippee! She even did a 12 hour stretch the other night! I had to wake her up so she could get the day started. She also found her thumb, which I thank the Lord for. A thumb sucker is a joy forever! Since she did, she has done better for her naps, though not perfect, of course.  She is able to hold her head up by herself and is getting more stable keeping her back straight. It's pretty amazing that she can as she is so fat! :) She is able to grab things and put things in her mouth now. She also can follow people with her eyes.

My Weight:157

Exercise: Well. It could be better. I didn't get more then four days a week and had several weeks of 2 and 3 because of sickness, babies not sleeping, parties etc etc etc etc. SO, not the highest but I am still going and now that all the snow is gone, I am able to run when I am at the office, so that is putting me over the barrier of 4 days. (As I am writing this I just finished a 5 day week!)
Crossfit is definitely worth its' weight in muscle :) ( Do you see what I did there?) I have a lot more muscle at this point, then I did with either of the other kids, so I feel like I am ahead of the game even though, I am heavier and still 15# overweight. But it will come. I feel confident that if I get 5 days a week for the next 4 months, I will really see good results by August or September. 

Eating: Which brings me to the eating. Yep. I suck! I am no will power anymore. Sugar is my major concern right now. Last week I decided to just focus small, like, "today I am not eating sugar." Instead of trying for a whole week. It is getting better and I minimized, but I need to get a lot better or I won't see any results! It doesn't help that there is tons of candy left over from all the birthday parities. I should just throw it all away, but I can't bring myself to do it. My goal for the rest of May is to reduce sugar drastically, and eat better. I am not cutting anything out, because there is no point and I don't want too. But if I eat good things and reduce the amount, I should be in good shape for the time when I can cut. 

Nursing: Good. She is a great nurser other then not being able to focus if she is anywhere but a dark room with a fan on. Silly girl. She is getting better with that too, but she gets distracted very easily. It's really great to be pain free and my boobs aren't getting huge and engorged every five seconds anymore. They still change size drastically, depending on how much she eats, but it's definitely better.

My Measurements:

1 Months PP: Hips: 41 Thighs: 21.25 Belly: 35.5 Waist: 32 Chest: 37

2 Months PP: Hips: 41 Thighs: 21.25 Upper Thigh:23.5 Belly: 35.5 Waist: 31 Chest: 37.5

3 Months PP: Hips: 41 Thighs: 21.50 Upper Thigh: 24 Belly: 34 Waist: 31 Chest: 37

Things of Interest:  It is turning into a really beautiful spring. I found myself just happy to be alive the other day. My allergies are getting allergish, but not too bad and I am just so glad that I didn't just have a baby and that she is over all the hard parts and we can just get on with being a family. THIS is what I was SOOOOO looking forward to for so many months last winter. All the major adjustments are finished, I am not completely exhausted and emotional. Juliet is sleeping through the night and her naps are getting better. It is just such a RELIEF! I love having a baby this age. She is beautiful and sweet and she looks at me like I'm the best thing since sliced bread. Always a nice feeling. :)
Now that the craziness of the birthday month is over, I can just sit back and enjoy the rest of the spring and summer.
My dad also got a job in Hawaii...... I know. Hawaii! So, of course, that means that we are going to need to visit. Definitely! We are thinking Christmas or spring break when April's kids are off school. It would be perfect. Juliet would be over a year old, I will be back in bikini shape and Jack and Emma would be able to remember it and it would be SOOO FUNNNN!!! I won't get excited until I have tickets, but it is a CHANCE to go! :) 

Older Kids: Speaking of older kids, Jack and Emma are doing pretty good, though Emma seems to be stepping up on the naughtiness stage for now. But she is three, so how can that be a surprise?  Jack is doing really well on the whole and being very sweet to Juliet. Not so much to Emma, but she is quite an overwhelming person to be around all the time. I am hoping that I can make them both understand that they don't need to compete for affection from us, as we love them both for different reasons. It's a challenge for sure. Jack is learning to ride his big bike we just got for him and doing really well. He just needs to get the hang of stopping and starting as the bike is too big for him and it makes it a bit tricky. The other weekend we went all the way up the bluff and Emma went all the way up and back with no help. I was super impressed. She only started to complain because her feet started hurting because her shoes are too small. (poor kid)
