Mommy Fitness Blog: It’s a NEW week

Posted by Maria Kang on July 27, 2009

Our last house guests left this morning and I’m ready to get back on track from weeks being on a workout and life hiatus. I am FINALLY getting over from being sick. After dealing with flu-like symptoms for a week, I started coughing this weekend and ended up sleeping 70% of my day away. The rest was good though because I’m feeling pretty good right now!

Even though I slept really late lastnight (I’m talking 2am. I usually sleep at 1030/11) I still managed to wake up at 730am this morning. Usually I don’t watch movies or tv a lot (unless its Real Housewives on Bravo or Oprah) but I decided to watch “Watchmen” with my fiancee and his friends last night to make him happy The movie wasn’t THAT bad and actually had some great underlying wise philosophies in the plot but there was definitely too much violence for my taste. I’m much more of a romantic comedy/drama kind of gal.

So, I was a little nervous about checking my weight from this weekend. My uncle had a HUGE birthday party and served REALLY awesome food. In these past couple weeks, my goal wasn’t to lose weight, it was really more to just maintain where I was at. AND after stepping on the scale, I was relieved to be on the same marker as I was two weeks ago…which is pretty darn great!

However, I am ready to take it up a notch. I REALLY want to tone my abs more, increase the roundness of my butt and decrease the size of my legs. I’m going to start off slow and make a 10 mile goal this week….but I am going to start taking my weight training more seriously and have more intense workouts. (they really aren’t that intense AT ALL) I also created a workout schedule that I am GOING TO STICK WITH. I usually play my workouts by ear, but we all know how important planning and goal setting is!!

There might be a few hurdles however. The baby is teething and crying more…sometimes he’ll wake up more during the night. This also means that I don’t want to leave him at the gym’s kids club at all for I don’t want him to be fussy with them.

Also, I will be getting my period next week. Usually the week prior I feel yucky – so hopefully that will NOT be the case!

Goals this week:

1) 5 meals , 1500 calories, low carb on last two meals

2) Run 10 miles

3) 4 days intense weight training

4) 3 days intense abs training

5) Stick with program

6) Drink lots of water

7) Get enough sleep.
