*NEW* Postpartum fitness plan!

So, I have had this little tyke for 2 weeks now and I am seriously antsy to get this body back to my normal again! I have faired REALLY well though in the weight loss department!

In my pregnancy I gained 45 pounds as of this morning I am down 26 pounds which puts me at 19 more pounds to go.

MY DIET:
I have been eating Paleo. Not strict though I still eat candy (DAMN IT) and I still have some grains here and there but overall I am at about 90% a day eating Paleo. It is actually easier to prepare my meals and get them on the table in 30 minutes or less. I really like that about my eating style. In eating this way I had a HUGE weight loss after the baby and now I am slowly losing a pound a day I am hoping that it doesn't stop anytime soon ha ha! I wouldn't mind going back to work with 10-15 pounds of extra baby weight. In my mind that is more attainable that 20 pounds. I know I know I am vain!

EXERCISE:
I recently started walking this week. I take my boys out on a nightly walk, we do about 30-45 minutes. Right now I am not worried about the mileage just the amount of time that I am walking outside. I do our walks when my husband comes home so that he can have some bonding time with the baby but also so that I can get away and get a little bit of sanity and feel like myself while also enjoying hanging out with my boys. Today, I did my Barre workout that I did while I was pregnant and I think I pushed a bit too hard but now I know so I will tone it down.

EMOTIONALLY:
I feel really good. I had a few days where I was really bluesy and thought that I was going to go bonkers because I was just overwhelmed with my parents being in town, trying to get a routine with my children, and adjusting to Molly being out of my belly and in my arms. It was pretty hectic to say the least but hey, I got through it with lots of prayer and a great husband by my side.

POSTPARTUM PLAN:

I know that I said that I was going to do P90X but I feel that that is too big of a feat for me right now as I just did 3 sets of 10 push ups and I was a bag of buttholes when I was done. I also don't feel like I will be able to give 1 hour and 15 minutes 6 days a week to a workout as soon as I start going back to work and what not SO PIYO came out and I ordered it. PIYO is 6 days a week with workouts ranging from 25-45 minutes and it is low impact. I thought that this would be the best fit for me since I want to build my strength back up and I will also be half marathon training so that is going to be pretty intense for me SO the stretching and strength that I am going to get from PIYO makes absolute sense to me and what I am currently going through in the postpartum department. P90X will come after I have done the 60 days of PIYO. I completely plan on following the eating plan with the exception of grains and doing the complete 60 days. I am so excited. I feel like this will ease me back into my workout length and will also help me to get stronger.


I don't know if I am going to run a challenge group with this one but I am thinking about it to keep me accountable to what it is that I am doing and I don't fall off the wagon ha ha. If you are interested in purchasing PIYO just follow this link. I can't wait to be able to share my journey back to me!!!!!
