Setbacks

I admit it, I haven't exercised in a week. I feel awful about it but I was just feeling down on myself because I'm not where I should of been in my weight loss journey/plan, but it's 100% my fault. I wasn't counting calories like I was in the beginning, and I started to have some wine a few times a week. Yuck. But luckily I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either.

I'm not going to be hard on myself about it, that will just make it worse. I'm just telling myself that it happens, I'm not perfect, and I'm moving on :) June 1st starts a new Brazil Butt Lift contest called something like "Best Booty on the Beach", and that's a great motivation. I always feel like I need some sort of concrete goal. So today I'm doing Bum Bum and taking my before pictures again. But this time I'm doing it in a bikini. EEEEEK. That way I will be able to see the changes in myself better then what I wore before. I'm going to try to take them by myself, I would be way to embarrassed to have my husband take my picture lol.

I also think breaking up my workouts will help. Today is Bum Bum and Tummy Tuck, and I never have enough time to do both PLUS take a shower before Zach wakes up so I feel to rushed and anxious. I'm strange, I know lol. So I'll do Bum Bum while Zach is sleeping, shower then later when they are out back or when Craig comes home from work I'll do Tummy Tuck.

Here has been some motivation for me lately:

Month 1 complete!

Today is week #5, day #1. I probably wont do my workout until my husband comes home from work tonight, 1 kid is napping and the other one I'm trying to get to nap....so I can get some chores done like grocery lists, meal planning and picking up the house a little bit. The boys will hopefully be staying a couple of days with my parents this week so I can get some deep cleaning done, and my husband and I can have some relaxing time! I miss them so much when they are gone, but it is nice to have a day or 2 off to do whatever I want, and not have to worry about schedules and tantrums :)

Today I am supposed to be doing Bum Bum and Tummy Tuck, but I did that yesterday and I'm soooo sore! I seriously dont think I could do Tummy Tuck even if I wanted to lol. Instead I'll do Cardio Axe and Sculpt (because I missed it last week!)....Sculpt is my favorite. I'm not the biggest fan of Cardio Axe because it's a little boring, it seems like the whole workout is just to lead you up to the last 10 minutes. Bum Bum is a cardio too, but waaaay more challenging. I'm STILL having to pause it, and I'm on week 5! My poor quads...that video is a quad killer haha.

Here are my stats so far:

9" down in 30 Days!!! But I've also GAINED a pound. That sucks. I know I've put on a ton of muscle though, and I do look leaner, and have less cellulite so I know it's working.

Before and after shot:

As you can see, there is not that much visible difference (except in my butt, which is lifted) but it's only been 30 days. I cant wait to see on day 60!

After I complete the 60 days, I plan on ordering another Beach Body workout, either ChaLean Extreme, P90X or Turbo Fire. I really cant decide! I'll worry about it in a few weeks though :)
