After nearly working 31 days straight.....
Not as much improvement. I took the final weight on April 1st. Unfortunately since then I baked cupcakes for my daughter's class, went out for frozen yogurt on April 3rd for my daughter's birthday, drank a bottle of chocolate wine and then I baked a cake for a pinterest party I have tomorrow and I haven't had the time to work out. I don't want to know what the scale says NOW!

Day 26: don't know what to think
I literally can not see a change in my body. I barely see a change on the scale and yet I am constantly feeling sore. However, I feel like my strength and endurance has increased. My Cindy Crawford video that I began with is not very challenging. On a daily basis I am able to do better at my workouts. more pushups then the day before, longer planks and so on. I'm feeling a little discouraged. I couldn't help but notice the number on the scale tonight. I wasn't expecting to care this much about weight because my original goal was to be less jiggly and look better for my trip to Florida. Honestly I just don't see my goals being achieved. I have a few more days left of my monthly challenge and I have got to kick it up a notch and go hard! I will probably workout in April up until my trip but I am trying to keep my goals and challenges achievable and short.

Day 15: A new WEIGHT!
The Scale did fluctuate between 109.6 and 110 even. However, this was the most
stable number. One little movement or foot adjustment and it moves. I am sore pretty much all of the time. I mean I prettymuch feel like my body is getting a beating every day. I am still not seeing a difference. Sometimes I might flex my arms and legs and *think I am seeing a small bump where there is a muscle but honestly I think it's my imagination. lol

Day 11: Feeling it more than seeing it....
Today I went skiing as you know which is a long day of working out the legs but also a little of the arms. I broke a sweat near the end of the day which was great becuse that means I worked hard enough and was breathing hard enough to get in a little cardio. I also did 22 burpees and about 20 pelvic lifts/abs.
As you can see there isn't much of a difference. I kinda wish I had started taking pics in a different room with better light but I definitely think that regardless after lots of exercising you will see the silhouhette change. I am currently taking pics EVERY Friday. I think the most obvious thing I hate is my stomach. I don't feel like I am working it out hard enough so I think tomorrow is going to be "AB" day. I want them to BURN baby. This week I am hopefully going to get in a little yoga. But I am really struggling with motivation and just getting excited to work out unless it's fun. Today was a great work out that was fun but also expensive! lol I have almost made it 2 full weeks of working out daily but I fear that because I don't have a lot exciting work outs from the 16-31 it's going to be a struggle.

(my view every morning from my house taken a few days ago)
So yesterday, Day 6 I did exercises at home because it got dark fast after work. Today I didn't have to be at work till 1pm and took advantage of the 60 degree weather in Colorado and ran. My legs are so sore! I am so tired and in pain. lol
Today was probably one of the first days that I started to make some different goals. First there are tons of hills and mountains here in Colorado. One of which I wake up to and that I look at almost every day. I think I would like to try to find the trail that leads up to it and get to the top. Just to say I did.
Second because of the number on the scale I would love to say I was between 105-109 after a month of working out. It's usually where I am at weight wise. I want to say I was 105-110 before having a baby. So I don't have a lot to lose to make that goal which is perfect because I don't want this challenge to be super hard. I want to accomplish it and to do that I have to make it bearable and reachable.

Twice I got asked if I was going to do the Spartan Race at Ft. Carson in May. I have always wanted to do it but there were 2 things stopping me. 1) The entry cost is easily like $60 dollars and I am such a cheap skate. I have lots of Summer plans this Summer that are costing a lot and it's going to take every penny of mine and Rob's money...the trip to Florida is just the beginning. 2) I have seen the race before and it is seriously hardcore. I don't think I am ready now but today has made me start thinking about "what if I could be by then... if I worked out every day till May?" hmmmm must chew on that for a while. I am a bit perplexed about what to do with my brand new running shoes. They were easily over $100 for them and I would hate for them to be ruined after the Spartan Race and have to donate them. And yet I can't be sure I should or would be able to buy some just for the race. It's stuff to think about.
