Crooked Eyebrow

I set a goal to walk 5 times this week on the treadmill and I am failing miserably. Yesterday I read so many blogs that were talking about shredding and how they felt good afterwards. Just reading them pumped me up. Thinking to myself  “this is exactly what I need to read, I need motivation”.

Well by the time I got home, cleaned and cooked dinner each night this week I was exhausted. Too exhausted to even haul my large ass to the treadmill,let alone turn it on.

Now after several days of not walking I feel like a complete failure. It has been my goal to have a healthier pregnancy for myself and my baby and I can’t eve n seem to commit to 5 days of walking. Shame on me.

So I felt that I should confess that I haven’t been trying my best. Hopefully tonight I will make it happen. Hopefully, my flabby thighs are hoping too…

While everyone here at the sisterhood is gearing up to start the Shred challenge on Monday, I’ll be sitting this challenge out. Something tells me that being 3 1/2 months pregnant and doing the  30 day shred challenge isn’t a great idea for an out of shape  pregger momma.

I couldn’t stand by and not do a challenge of my own though. At home my husband has started to run on the treadmill faithfully everyday and he has motivated me. Maybe it’s the fact that we both gained TONS of weight with our first child and we both don’t want to see those days again. Who knows?  But he is looking great! Both him and  the sisterhood  have  motivated me to get my ass in gear.

I hit the treadmill twice this week, more than I have since January. Last night after dinner was done, it was my time. My time to stretch, walk and lift light weights. So my personal challenge is to walk at 30 minutes on the treadmill, 5 times a week with a combination of light arm weights as well.  It may not be shredding but from walking on such an incline last night, my butt hurts. I must have done something right, right??
