It may not be shredding but my butt hurts….

April 4th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Crooked Eyebrow |

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??

    That is so good CE! I am very proud of you. With my last pregnancy, by the TIME I felt well enough to exercise, I was still too tired to do something about it. You are doing something about it. Good job!
  • Good job! I haven't had a chance to check out the pregnancy workout DVD yet (stupid stomach flu), but as soon as I get it opened, I'll see if I can burn it for you.
  • Good for you. You must have done it right if your butt hurts.
  • Absolutely! No pain, no gain, right? Er... loss.
  • that's awesome!! what a great motivator for those of us w/o that 'excuse' to not do anything.

    what kind of treadmill do you have? what doyou like/dislike about it? we are looking for a used one to use our tax money on & I need the impact reduction for my ankles & want an incline. he's surfing craigs list :)
  • That's great! And so awesome that you are not using your pregnancy as an excuse to eat crap and not exercise!! Ahem, because I sure didn't do that or anything. No way.
  • Right. Soreness = you did something right! Great job, CE!!!
