Ashleigh's WISH Journal: Getting into Pre-Baby Shape

[DisneyMomma09]

So I have been doing Weight Watchers since about 6 weeks after Colby was born and I have lost all my baby weight, but I am completely out of shape. I need to start working out in order to get my body back in shape. Before I got pregnant, I was running regularly and had thouht about doing the WDW 1/2 Marathon, but got pregnant before I could follow though. With the new year comming, I have decided I need to get back to running regularly with a goal to do either the WDW 1/2 or the Princess 1/2 next year (2011).

So basically my goals are to continue loosing weight with WW and get my behind in gear and start running again. When I started running before, I did the Couch to 5K and found that to be a great program to get running. I think I will start with that again!

Welcome! I'm new to the WISH journals although not new to DIS and I'm already finding this very helpful. The support is great! Sounds like you have a good plan too.

I love to know how the Couch to 5K goes for you. I keep meaning to try it, but I never do.

So I had my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday and I was not expecting much. My goal before the holidays was to get through them without gaining more than 3lbs. Surprise, surprise...I lost .8 ! I was super excited!

This weekend my husband is supposed to get a treadmill from his grandfather so I can start running. The weather here has been terrible...basically it has snowed everyday since New Years and even before that...so I have not been motivated at all to go out and walk/run.

I hope everyone is staying warm this weekend!

I'm trying to stay warm here, which is ironic since I'm in FL (it's in the 40s today...ugh).

It's great to have a treadmill...having a way to exercise at home makes it hard to make excuses!

Congrads on the loss!

I finally got my treadmill! This morning I started couch to 5K. It went pretty well, but I do prefer running outside. Seeing as we have about 3 feet of snow, however, it is not too easy to find a good route outside.

 

[cclovesdis]

Yeah for starting!

 

[DisneyMomma09]

At my weigh in last night I was down another 2lbs! I worked really hard this week, tracking carefully and starting the C25K. If I keep it up and lose another 2lbs this week my total will be 35 pounds! That is my goal for this week.

Good luck!
