6 week checkup
Jay and I go for our 6 week checkup today. Once I get the OK I hopefully will be starting a 12 week challenge and what a challenge it will be as I have to work around Jay and hubby's work which will be quite difficult. I can't wait until we move house as I will have my very own gym room and whilst I will have no weights at least I can get cardio done if I can't make it to the gym. I do have a gym room now but it is in the shed and with all the hot weather its just too hot in there to work out, plus its not very friendly too many spiders and what not. I have decided to use part of the baby bonus to help me with my 12 week challenge, I figured that I carried Jay for 9 months and now part of that money can be my reward. The rest is going into an account for Jay.
I was quite surprised, I woke up this morning and my stomach has considerably shrunk. I'm sure once I start ab work it won't take long to get back to normal, none the less I was quite impressed. The main area I put on weight whilst pregnant was my legs and butt, those are my prone areas and always have been even when I was slimmer these areas were still a bit weighty.
Well better go and get all my bottles done before little Jay wakes up:)

Aren't his shoes so cute!!:)
Bugger lost the rest of my post!!
Spin
My first spin class this morning since I gave it up when I was 20 weeks pregnant. I was scared about sitting on the seat but all I can say is class went better than I thought. I thought I would really struggle but my fitness is obviously not as bad as I thought it was. It was good to get into the swing of things again and I'm slowly starting to push myself.
Now...........I'm still down about my weight. I was contemplating going back on my competition diet but to be honest with Jay I really don't have the time and energy to focus on the strict eating. I want to loose weight and eat healthy but I don't want to be spending ages organising my food as I just don't have the time, its hard enough finding the hour to get to the gym which I'm managing. I've been eating very healthy since giving birth and exercising but the weight isn't shifting. I'm getting desperate and I'm not sure what to do. I know I need something to follow not just eating healthy, I need a plan of action!!! I went to the gym on the weekend for a weights session, back and bi's and came back so depressed after looking at myself in the mirror. I'm wondering if I'm doing the right workout, 3 days of weights the rest cardio or maybe I should be doing a circuit style. Who knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More Pics....
Just thought I would post some more pics, these were taken about 2 weeks ago. Will update later Jay is crying and I must go out.
3 Weeks today!!
Jay is 3 weeks old today!! God bless his little cotton socks!!
Not much to report really. Been at the gym every morning but as you know just taking it easy, at least my fitness is starting to improve slowly, getting back to it after the week in hospital was like starting from scratch and I know in 3 weeks time when I get given the ok and start to go harder it will be damn hard but I will get there. Everyone is really surprised to see me there, they said to me that when I have the baby there will be no time for gym and I was like no I will make time and I have. It's only an hour out of the day and if I can work around Jay then I will. Now I know hubby has been home from work which makes it easier but I will just have to adjust when he goes back. Lucky for me he works 2 day shifts and 2 night shifts then 4 days off and that is when a ship is in. No ship no work!!
I am thinking after I have my 6 week check up to start doing pilates. It's $90 a month but you can go as much as you want. I will still keep up with my cardio and weights but I think this will benefit my core especially after having a baby. I know a lady who did this after she had her baby and she looks great and she is not into fitness at all. They may even replace my weights sessions for a while.
I need to come up with a new weights program. I am ditching the all over weights I was doing whilst pregnant and want to come up with a new 3 day split as I feel this will help me get back into it, only doing light weights and slowly buliding up to my heavy weights. If anyone has any ideas to help me out you can email me at
sarjay76@yahoo.com. I do have heaps of programs at home but they are all locked away in my fitness folder and I can't get to them, it will save me the trouble of trying to find the time to sit down and write out my program.
I bought some protein powder today, the Ladybird Women's Whey in Chocolate Fudge. Must say I'm quite impressed!! Now I'm not breastfeeding I can have it!!
