So today makes day three of my 30 day supply of phen, to help lose this baby weight. I'm such a scaredy cat that I won't take pills or anything gimmicky. I'm to terrified ill be the one who dies at home and no one know. But I started working out (again) and walking last week, and did good. I was incredibly sore so I must have done something my body wasn't use to. I'll even tell you what exactly I do so you'll believe me!
I use the unopened gallon of water for the boys formula as a weight for my arms and do two different 'curls' I guess you call them, then I grab the bag of sugar because the gallon of water is a little tricky and you can't hold it right to do the other arm exercises. With the sugar I do three other arm curls! I don't know if anyone else feels this way BUT when doing squats I always feel as if my back is not right or I'm leaning forward to much or not actually squatting at all. So I do hold on to the counter for some so I can still be flat footed and back straight as I squat straight down. However yes it still hurts but I also feel like it puts some resistance in your arms so your working both. I then saw on Pinterest where you stand like your going to do a squat then bend over place your hands on the floor and squat while keeping your hands on the ground it seems awkward at first but I actually like those and yes you still feel them!! Next crunches regular ones and the ones where you rest your ankle on your knee and then bring the opposite elbow to the knee. (Both sides of course). If you are still laying flat and your knees up feet flat and put your knees together I think they call it knock kneed?? And ankles out touching your butt or as close as possible, you then come up like a crunch abs tight, head and neck facing up not forward you'll hurt yourself and shoulders off the ground you grab both ankles and go left to right reaching as far as you can to or past your ankle. This is something they do on my yoga DVD I use to do. I believe if done enough and correctly its a good choice for love handles which I have. Somewhere in between all that I do jumping jacks as my ' cardio' and for something every kid does easily or I remember it as being easy, it bout kills me now after 20. Embarrassing but honest.
I try to do 100 of each thing, obviously not at one time I break it up into 10 or 20 per rep. And only leaving roughly 30-60seconds between reps. Oh I forgot I'm trying for real to go for a walk everyday with the babies (pushing roughly 70lbs extra) at least 30 minutes and I always feel like I'm turtle slow but can't possibly move my short legs any faster. But at least I'm out there.
After getting into the right frame of mind again to stick with it and being tired of being extremely extremely insecure about myself (which is soo not me) I decided to call my Dr. He had told me at my PP appointment that in a few months if I was having trouble losing the weight he could give me something to help. So I called.
Friday was my first pill and I was expecting my heart to race and feeling all hyper and shaky. Honestly my heart hasn't raced yet unless I'm working out or doing it myself, I don't feel jittery just like I have energy instead of wanting to go sleep every chance I get. They do suppress your appetite obviously but I know I have to eat to be healthy so I still do but I'm conscious of what I've been eating. Why still have the same eating habits and make your body all freaked out. Also I don't intend on gaining this weight back after I stop taking them. So it's my choice now to watch what I'm eating and drinking (water as much as possible). So I am super excited to finally and hopefully get back into my clothes and just feel good about myself. Once that happens it will be better for anyone and everyone around me :)
Ps. I don't have a babysitter so the boys are either looking at me funny and laughing or they are napping. So it is possible, but the phen is going to be the main key because I don't have time or a way to go workout hard core for two hours at a gym or any of that. I don't drop my boys off with people to do those kinds of things. So here's to this continuing journey of life after babies.
