Shrinking!

Hey everybody! I can see a change :) I have to say that it's hard to see the small things when you are dieting and exercising. You expect your body to just slim down and the saddle bags just fall off and your over sized gut shrivel to a nice flat washboard, but that isn't how it works (unfortunately). I have continued to jump or rebound on the mini trampoline, and I have started the Kettle WorX dvd work out. I have to say that from the beginning of this journey I have had my ups and downs but I believe all the things I've done, the zumba, running, rebounding, yoga and the dvd's all have helped me get to this smaller place that i'm at now. Again, I don't see a huge difference, but I do notice a better change. I'm still wearing a size 8, and not fitting into my regular clothes but I am soooooo much more tone. I still have a nice,squishy gut but I now have a waist line and stronger abs. The thing that I am the happiest about right now is the cellulite that has gone from my butt and thighs. Even when I was a size 4 I had cellulite, not bad but it was there. I have never worn shorts because of it. Now, I still won't wear shorts but for a different reason LOL my thighs are too big. The other day I went to put on a Calvin Klein dress that I have always loved. It's a khaki button up with a tie waste. I wore it last summer. Well lets just say when I went to put it on this summer, I couldn't even button the buttons past my stomach or hips. So I am measuring my progress with this dress. It is a size 4. I know some of you are like "shoot I would be happy if I was an 8" well not me, I'm not built to be an 8 for me that is not normal. I have always been a 4/6 (thanks to my bootie) and I want to reach that goal. I'm going to reach that goal :) When I first started working out I was about 147lbs. then about mid of this whole journey I was 145 lbs and today I am 142 lbs. so slowly it is dropping. Slowly I am reaching my goal. But progress is still progress and I'll take that any day!

So what's next? Kettle Worx

144lbs 5'5

I know I haven't been blogging, but it's because I really haven't made much progress (however I have toned up the back of my thighs quite a bit. I have hardly any dimples!). I mean, I haven't been sitting around not doing anything. I've been jumping on the mini trampoline, running every once in a while, doing a little yoga and zumba. But over all I haven't been consistent. I've tried watching my calorie intake but even that got shrugged off when I was faced with a really great meal or just PMS will kill it for me. Another reason is that my husband who is my workout buddy, has been killing it overtime at work. I'm sorry but I just don't have the motivation to motivate myself. At last, my husband is now going to be home in the evening and so our workout to a healthier and more fit body has begun. Yesterday we bought the Kettle Worx workout. It comes with 6 dvd's and a kettlebell. I got a 5 lb (i'm a wimp) and my husband got a 15 lb bell. We did the workout tonight and  after the warm up and 1 set, plus half of the second set we were done. I started cramping in my inner thighs, my outer thighs, the back of my thighs, my butt cheeks and my calves. I've never did a workout like this. Saying all that I have faith that this is going to work. (as long as we are consistent) 6 weeks. That's how long it takes. But I believe that we'll start seeing results after a week. I have taken pictures and weighed myself.  As of right now I weigh 144 lbs. My goal wait is to lose at least 20 lbs. That will put me back at my pre-pregnancy  weight. So we shall see, and I'll be sure to keep you posted weekly.
