back on the saddle...

Back to workin it out everyday... oh goodness.

I've been blessed since having a baby. I lost all of the weight I gained within 2 weeks of my delivery and haven't had any trouble keeping it off. But, anyone whose had a baby will tell you, it doesn't quite sit the same once you lose it. I'm actually smaller than I was before I got pregnant, but have just a bit more of a pooch in my lower tummy than I did before and my abs aren't as strong. I just look more skinny now and less toned. And that's just not gonna work. We all know I like to have my muscles toned and I like my cardio everyday.

I had been doing some yoga and stuff on and off since I was cleared for working out at my 8 week check up. Then, last week, I decided it was time to start back with my old work out routine. This includes my elliptical (BEST PURCHASE EVER EVER EVER)... since purchasing it 2 years ago, I haven't been happier. I have paid for the thing over and over and over again by the usage I have gotten out of it... it kicks my tail, has 8 workouts and you can even make your own. Anyway, I digress... sorry. So, the workout includes my elliptical, which is a different workout everyday and I spend anywhere from 30 min to 1 hour and 15 min. on it just depending on what I'm doing that day and the workout. Afterwards I do crunches and pushups and on certain days yoga.

LET ME TELL YOU.............. I FEEL GREAT! I worked out when I was pregnant, but it just wasn't the same. I couldn't feel the crazy adrenaline that I always love when I work out because I couldn't get all crazy with it while carrying an extra 30 pounds! I'm a junkie for exercise! It completes my day.

SO, YAY for me getting back on the saddle with the workouts! I'm super pumped and can't wait for tomorrow's routine.
