Body After Baby Challenge: Week 4
I am going to do my update today and just edit the weight part of it on Wednesday/Thursday.
This week I stuck to almost none of my goals, I didn’t track my food all week and I only went to the gym twice. But it’s not all lost I did make the best food choices possible when eating out, which was a lot.
Here’s the story so everything was going along as planned until Saturday when my husband decided that we or more he was going to repaint our living room and kitchen this weekend. This meant that I could have no help watching the baby and my kitchen was now out of commission and I couldn’t make food there. So Friday I made it to the gym and had a good lower body workout with abs and cardio. Xander was feeling sad and they came and got me just before I was done. Saturday, I also made it to the gym and did a good cardio workout with abs. Sunday no gym, and I tried to help with the house but Xander cried almost all day. I think he is starting to teeth and with the house being all torn up there was nowhere he could play or hang out with mom and it was just lots of tears. We went to Target for some Huggies and breast milk storage bags, and tried to go walk/play at the park but he made it about 1/3 of a mile before he was crying and screaming. Then on Monday we took him to my mother in laws and she watched him all day while D and I finished up with the help of our friend S, then we went for Chinese buffet, yes I know bad choice. In my defense they do have sushi and the only Chinese food I really like is the Chinese donuts.
So Tuesday morning I go to hop on the scale thinking after the Chinese yesterday and Wendy’s all this weekend and just eating like crap in general I’m going to see some sad sad numbers, but oh no it says 183.6!
So now on to Body after Baby week 5 goals:
- Eat clean everyday, write everything down
- Go to the gym 4 times; Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday
- Do abs everyday

Thanks for the comment. I really need the encouragement this week. I am feeling quite run down. I need to re-energize and get focused again. I like your goals for the week. I need to start incorporating more ab strengthening exercises into my workouts again. I am so hit and miss. I am trying to get a consistent pattern going. It’s rough.
I am sorry to hear Xander is having a rough time. (And you too! Sad babies equal sad/frustrated moms) Teething is rough, but it doesn’t last forever. My son is starting to get his canine teeth. (I am hoping it won’t be as bad as the molars)
