Staying fit with pregnancy number 4 ~ Kat's fitness journal

[Mrs.Hassett06]

Hi, I just popped out my third and final baby. I have been cleared my docs to workout 7 weeks ago. I am 13 weeks postpartum. I have been focusing mainly on losing the weight and its pretty much lost so I can now work on my other fitness goals. I enjoying boxing and yoga most and I would like to actually fight someday.
Even though I have been going strong, eating well and working out I am going to make today my day one. Today is the day where I exercise the self discipline I know I have. I am committing to my health. I have to weed out some negative "friends". Never a fun time. I have to admit my weaknesses so I can be held accountable. I like wine. There will be no more wine.
Id like to start with a 90 day challenge to myself. I have a boxing training plan that I will follow and I would like to make sure yoga is part of my daily life, even if its only 10 minutes.
My starting weight and measurements:
Height: 5'3"
weight: 132lbs
Chest: 29"
arms: 10" (at ease)
Bust" 36"
waist: 24 1/2"
belly button: 26 1/2"
hips:33"
thighs 17 1/2"

Hah so today is a REST day and it has really been anything but. Seriously my rest days are way more exhausting then work out days because its the day I handle EVERYTHING. I got 400$ worth of groceries, paid the bills, cleaned, and did every other miscellaneous thing on my list. I want to study but I cant until I relax for a few minutes. I just put my kids down for naps and I am SO happy.
Tomorrow I have a 2 mile run and pilates in the AM and boxing in the PM.

Today I am having a bad day. The problem with being postpartum is that sometimes depression and anxiety come with it. I know that following through with my workouts and clean eating will really help in the end so I WILL do it. I am just struggling intensely right now. I WILL get up and I WILL work out. Even if I cry through the whole damn thing.

I got some unhappy blood work results from my doc. I need to reduce my stress NOW. No pressure. Yesterday was really hard something else was wrong too but they cant be sure until more testing. Anyway I didnt get my workout in. I feel like crap. I need to do it today, if I dont it will just cause more stress. I started a 10 day raw detox last night so today is day one. I will post back with how my workout went today.

We went camping this weekend and I did GREAT. My food was spot on, we did a lot of hiking (with my newbie in a babyhawk its like wearing a weighted vest) and I even practiced yoga at night! My food was 95% raw, I am feeling SO much more relaxed.
Today we got home and I had to do all of my mommy/wife stuff first but I did 30 minutes of INTENSE (I mean hardcore) intervals on the bike and than an hour of pilates. I feel SOOOOOOO good I am going to get my yoga in later after the kids are in bed. Here are a few pics from our camping trip.

you look amazing girl!

Thank you!
Today was a great day. My hubby, Mike, got up early with me and we did Rodney Yee's "yoga for strength and flexibility" dvd together. What a wonderful dvd. I felt amazing when we were done. I also did 30 minutes of HIIT on the bike.
My eating has been clean and good all day and I am feeling strong.
Hubby usually doesnt work out and he usually hates yoga because he isnt very flexible and it discourages him but now he loves it! I am thrilled He was a show off today with his strength, I am really happy he is making the choice to work out with me now. He had surgery in April and he gained a few pounds and he is sad (I totally understand, just having a baby and all) but he is making the change!!!

[Mrs.Hassett06]

Whoo! Got up feeling great did the Rodney Yee yoga dvd and I LOVE it. I feel so much stronger especially in my upper body. I also did 25 min HIIT. So far I have eaten well and had plently of water. Its going to be another great day. I wanted to run today but we are having thunderstorms and Im not going outside with lightning. Nope. I feel and look leaner. Saturday I am going to take my measurements and new pics

I love your Mei Tai, is that a BabyHawk? I can't tell if it's reversible or if you have two different MTs. Either way I love seeing mamas carrying their babies so close

Thanks!! It is a babyhawk!!!! Best thing I ever bought. We have two, one for Mike my husband and I have one that is reversible. Its got hula girls on one side and just a neat pattern on the other. I recommend them to anyone with a baby or toddler. My son will be 3 tomorrow and we still use it with him when we hike

So today is my son's 3rd birthday and my rest day! Whoo glad they synched up. We went out to lunch and I had a HUGE salad with oil and vinegar, 3 huge pieces of brucshetta (made sure it was vegan) and I even..... dun dun dun had a glass of red wine. I feel like a total slug but my diet is sooooo clean usually so I can understand. I am not going to beat myself up over it. I had a healthy breakfast and I will have a healthy dinner so whatev.

So last year my step brother was in a very bad car accident that left him on a ventilaltor with no chance of recovery. They waited a year and on Friday he was taken off and his organs donated. I did not get a workout in all weekend. I ate pretty poorly as well (I really didnt eat enough to be honest).
I am not feeling better really at all today BUT I am forcing myself to eat well and I am going to work out later because it will help the stress.
So far today Ive just had tons of raw fruits and veggies.
Later I plan on boxing and HIIT
