Saturday Trail running 35 minutes (hard trail)

Without a 9 year old to slow me down, and with rain for the last half of it. Also, shopping with Q for 2 hours for her special alone time with mommy.

A Couple of Days

Dude.  I keep forgetting to post.  This madness must end!!  Lol!
Wednesday, I went to swim lessons and it SUCKED.  I think I got maybe 6 or 7 laps.  The stamina was just not there.  But we did a lot of mechanical work and fine tuning, so there was much improvement.  I have a great instructor who can work with any situation. ;)
Yesterday was an hour of Zumba, and I finally completed a workout!  Geesh, it was getting ridiculous.  It was a really good class too, lots of energy, and I'm starting to get a lot more comfortable.  Some of the more common moves I'm finally getting my white girl self wrapped around so I don't look like a total idiot doing them, lol!  So, BONUS.  :D
Today I will probably be lazy.  It feels like the right thing to do, I'm still not 100%.  But tomorrow, I will KILL the running!

Tuesday JM Banish Fat Boost Metabolism (45 minutes)

I was really proud of myself for working out today. Teague had me up ALOT from 2-6 am this morning and I did not feel good. Good thing Big E took the morning off! I forgot how hard this workout was. If you count the warm-up and cool down, it's 56 minutes. My abs and legs are going to be dying tomorrow! She basically takes all her hardest cardio and ab moves and puts them into one incredibly aerobic workout.

Weigh-In and Sucky Run

I didn't do anything on Friday because I was feeling puny.  By Friday night, I knew why: I had a stomach bug.
Logically, I didn't do anything on Saturday either. 
I was feeling better on Sunday but not great, so I didn't do anything yesterday but weigh-in.  I lost five pounds!  Not surprising, it's all down my toilet.  I'm at 127 now.  Veeeeery close to where I want to be, and I've decided that as long as I'm under 130, I'm good. 
Today, I tried to go for a run, and it was awful.  About 1/2 mile into it, I felt like I was going to puke.  I walked a little more, tried again, and had to sit on the side of the road with my head between my legs for awhile.  Bronx was very concerned when I did that.  I walked the rest of the way home, the short way, not my usual 1.5 mile loop.  I almost had to call John to pick me up, but I made it. 
I am going to take it super easy at swim lessons tomorrow.  Hopefully by Thursday I'll be up for Zumba.  My instructor is doing a new song that I recommended, and I don't want to miss it!

Monday JM 30 Day Shred Workout 1 (25 minutes)

With 10 lb free weights.

Did 7 real push ups on the first set and 4 on the second (before switching to knee push ups). Getting stronger!

Things are getting a little easier with T. He sleeps in two 3 hour chunks most nights, and then gets up every 2 hours after that (for a total of 10 hours). He also nurses less often so my boobs don't hurt anymore.

Saturday Trail Running 45 minutes

Woo hoo for warm weather! 

Also- my scale says I gained 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I hope that is muscle or because I have a cold (which makes me retain water). Boo for weight gain!
