Post Baby Fitness Goals

So I sat down the other night to create fitness goals as I am struggling to lose the baby weight that I put on while carrying Marcus. I have been very frustrated with this process as due to him flipping positions on me I had to have a c-section and I have only been able to get back to working out at 9 weeks post delivery. I had all these expectations that I would deliver him naturally and be able to bounce back from the weight that I had gained during the 40 weeks of pregnancy. However that wonderful picture is not what has happened at this point. So I decided that I needed to sit down and make some REALISTIC fitness goals. I have always been someone who is a go getting and gets things done but when it comes to eating healthy I tend to do well for a few days and then fall off of the wagon COMPLETELY! So knowing this I have made some goals for myself that I am going to work hard to keep and make sure that they are posted here everyday and not get down on myself when I cheat or have a hard day when it comes to food choices.

Fitness goals

Goal 1: Lose 1 pound per week - lose 20 pounds by Christmas
Goal 2: I will only weigh myself on Mondays. While this may seem trivial I have a tendency to weight myself everyday and when I see that I haven't lost any weight or that I have gained I allow this to get me down and I allow it to cause me to binge. I also have struggled with wanting to lose weight quickly and goal 1 is in place to help me have realistic expectations.
Goal 3: Take a picture of myself in a swimsuit every other week and post it on my blog.
Goal 4: Log my food everyday for 30 days being 100% honest about what I consumed.
Goal 5: Plan weekly dinners every Sunday and stick to the Menu. I have found that if I create menu's I am more likely to be prepared with the items I need and therefore stick to the Menu instead of finding myself wanting to go out to dinner in the middle of the week.
Goal 6: Complete a full round of
             150 Wallball (6lbs)
             90 double unders
             30 pull ups
             In under 13 minutes by September 4st
I did this workout last week and I got through 150 wallball and 27 double unders in 13 minutes
Goal 7: Complete 10 pull ups in a row by September 1st
Goal 8: Run a full mile by September 1st.

In the end I am doing this all to be the healthiest mother and wife that I can be. I am doing this for myself and for my family.

I will be adding this weeks menu and my first picture this evening.

4 days late and counting

Marcus is now 4 days past his due date and I have to say that it is hard to be patient. I would really like to meet this little one and with everything going on in my family it would be nice to have something to celebrate, the sooner the better. Hopefully we get to meet this little guy soon!!

9 days and counting

9 more days until our Marcus is set to arrive. Then back on the Paleo Train I go. It has been really hard to stay Paleo during this time and I have to admit that there was a HUGE part of me that took advantage of being able to eat what I want because I had an excuse for the weight that I was putting on. However, I am looking forward to the challenge of getting back into pre-baby shape, even if my body isn't ever the same. The nice thing is it is summer which means lots of BBQing and great salads, the bad thing is it is summer which means lots of get togethers with friends and lots of good food around! So with motivators nearby and ready to get started as soon as this little guy arrives so does the Paleo Nazi aka Santos Reyes. Also I will again be posting my eating habits and little things that I have found to motivate myself through fabulous websites like Pinterest! Above are a couple of pictures that our friend Becky Kengle beckiekengle.com took for us.
