In 30 days, I lost 5 labs and shed 2 inches off my waist!! I also went and had my blood work done this week so I'm excited to get my results back; I can tell you my BP was 93/49!! That's amazing. I've always had good BP but it's been a while since it's been this low!
If you want to learn more about my sister-in-law and how she can help you, visit her page at: http://www.teambeachbody.com/briannaray88
Now, what to do since the 30 day challenge is over.... got any suggestions??

Weighing in: Week 3
Well, I did much better with my nutrition last week and the results showed it!
I eliminated all the sweets from my house but my sweet neighbor dropped off my absolute weakness, OREOS, and of course I had to eat them. It's like my kryptonite honestly.
Aside from those sweets, I was almost perfect! Eggs and grapefruit for breakfast, cut out dinner rolls for dinner (bread--another weakness of mine) and I upped the water to where it needs to be. I like to shoot for at least 100 oz of water since I've started exercising again and still nursing my little.
Ok, so these are huge improvements like the big name weight loss products offer, but as a health coach who studied exercise and nutrition throughout college I know those products can offer a lot of roller coaster results with weight.

-REST day; I should have gone running but my little had to share me with another infant and just wanted some mom-time... I was happy to oblige.
-60 second plank, 25 triceps dips, 25 mountain climbers
WEDNESDAY:
-30 jumping jacks, 30 burpees, 30 high knees
THURSDAY:
-30 bridges, 30 squats, 30 lunges
To add a little bit of a challenge, when I do bridges, I put my little on my core and this is my view... I think it's pretty cute!
-REST day
SATURDAY:
-70 second plank, 30 triceps dips, 30 mountain climbers
SUNDAY:
-30 jumping jacks, 30 burpees, 30 high knees
I fell off on the weekend due to sickness in our house but I'm getting back on it now. You'll fall off a few times but it's a matter of getting started again.

Weighing-In: Week 2
After a rocky-start last week on my path back to pre-baby weight a question occurred to me that I used to ask my clients when I was working as a Health and Wellness coach.
It's a very simple question that I had to answer "no" for last week.
When there are sweets in my house, I justify that I have to eat it in order to get it out of my house so it's not a distraction. This logic generally leads me to eating a pack of Oreos in a matter of two days and a whole batch of brownies in 24 hours.
This week I started a 30 day challenge put on by my SIL who is a beach body coach. With this starting, I was determined to be better and these were the results:
BEGINNING WEIGHT: 157.6 LBS
WEIGHT AFTER WEEK 2: 156.0
GOAL WEIGHT: 144.0 LBS
BEGINNING WAIST: 39 IN
WAIST AFTER WEEK 2: 38.5 IN
GOAL WAIST: 35 IN
MONDAY:
-30 second plank, 10 pushups, 10 mountain climbers (3 sets)
TUESDAY:
-20 jumping jacks, 10 burpees, 10 high knees (1 set)
WEDNESDAY:
-20 squats, 20 lunges, 20 bridges (1 set)
-1.5 mile walk
THURSDAY:
-Zumba 60 mins
FRIDAY:
-40 second plank, 20 triceps dips, 20 mountain climbers (1 set)
SATURDAY:
-25 jumping jacks, 20 burpees, 20 high knees (1 set)
SUNDAY:
-25 bridges, 30 squats, 30 lunges (1 set)
I obviously feel like I did so much better this week actually seeing some change in weight and more importantly in my waist.
Breakfasts have started to be eggs and grapefruit (yay for friends with citrus trees) and desserts have been staved off (except for Sunday when we went to my in-laws for dinner)!
I live really close to a major shopping center which has a Wal-mart, Party City, Dollar Tree, Office Max, etc. So when my husband needed me to pick up some things for him on Wednesday for a church activity instead of getting in my car to drive half a mile and lug my little in and out of the car I just loaded up the stroller and off we went getting in a good walk and some much needed Vitamin D! Win-Win!
Looking and feeling good! Here goes to keeping up the momentum!

Weighing-In: Week 1
Of course one of the goals for every new mother is to get rid of all that baby-weight. If you're one of the lucky ones who magically appears the hour after giving child birth to have never been pregnant, can I please speak for the rest of us and say we don't want to hear about how you still have so much to get rid of. Take the compliment that you look good and move on.
So, this is my effort to document my path back to pre-Emmy-Sara.
BEGINNING WEIGHT: 156.6 LBS
WEIGHT AFTER WEEK 1: 157.6
GOAL WEIGHT: 144.0 LBS
BEGINNING WAIST: 39 IN
WAIST AFTER WEEK 1: 39 IN
GOAL WAIST: 35 IN
Review of the week: the exercise was good, the nutrition is where I failed. You can't eat dessert almost every night and expect to drop the weight and inches. I have noticed in the past, however, that I go through a week or two of gaining a pound right after I start strength-training again. After that the weight falls off.
MONDAY:
-30 minutes Zumba, 3-mile run
If you are like me and have no rhythm going to a Zumba class may not be the most ideal for you. But if you like dancing and moving to good music and are able to call it exercise, Zumba is perfect... what a dilemma. The solution, online Zumba videos! I found a good library of videos at Tone and Tighten or even on YouTube. I'm in the process of compiling a Zumba channel and will post a link when I do.
TUESDAY:
-Arm Workout
WEDNESDAY:
-60 minutes stroller walk
THURSDAY:
-60 minutes Zumba
FRIDAY:
-Abs Workout
SATURDAY:
-Yard Work (Our leaves finally fell off the tree, yay for living in Arizona)
SUNDAY:
-30 minute walk with family
I'm starting a 30 day challenge today. My sister-in-law is a beach body coach and is helping others get a start on being healthy so I'm partaking in order to be held more accountable to my own goals. Accountability is a HUGE part of being successful in any goal but especially health goals.
Let's see what this next week brings.
Come back next Monday for an update and more exercise ideas.
