It's been a busy time around here with working out and trying to get school started and getting projects completed for my etsy shop, something had to get pushed aside and the blog is what it was. But here is an update on my fitness progress and maybe I'll be able to come back and write regularly again!
So I have some progress to report but I really wish I had better results to share. I still workout with my trainer/friend but 3 days a week has been difficult with fall here because cold weather brings colds into the home and we don't want to share. However, I have another friend that works out with me on the nights I don't workout with her. So I'm proud to say I still am averaging 4 to 5 workouts a week!
Strength training is a big part of our workouts because muscle burns more calories, so building muscle is very helpful. The downside is that muscle weighs more than fat so that means I'm not seeing big changes on the scale. It was a bit frustrating for a while but now I'm starting to see changes in my body and trouble areas. I have bieceps that actually have definition, my belly fat is lifting and changing which is great because carrying babies sure does a number and your midsection!
My current struggle area is food. I haven't been eating as healthy as I should. It's just something I haven't felt like doing. But that's ok because part of my baby step goals is to add changes one at a time because it makes it easier. So first I did the workouts and I'm doing really well so I started adding in some healthy foods but this week I really plan to eat healthy foods that will help me reach my goals. I'm spliting a Bountiful Basket each week with a friend to get more fruits and veggies in the house. I love that it gives me healthier options at my fingertips.
So hopefully next time I update you on my progress it will be better results to share because I keep hearing once I get my food right things will really start to improve.
So wish me luck on my continued progress!
