Week 6

Week 6

I made it to week 6! Yaaayy! I feel so good about week 6 and the changes I've made. I am one of those people who don't like to go to the gym alone. I hate having to share the tiny little weights area with a bunch of hard body men. It's so intimidating. But this week I actually went to the gym by myself. I only did cardio, no weights, but it's progress! ;]

So, I mentioned that I was going to Shakeology last week. I got my sample of it in the mail from my friend Heather. I made a shake for breakfast this morning. I used the chocolate mocha recipe from their website. It was 1 scoop of Shakeology, 1 cup of iced coffee, ice, water or milk, and I added some cinnamon and blended it. It had a nice think texture once it was finished. It smelled a little weird, but it tasted OK. I'm not a fan of protein shakes, I think they smell and taste yucky! I'm not 100% sure if I will continue with Shakeology or not, but I'm willing to give it a try. If you want to give it a try, contact Heather Cotton at http://www.beachbodycoach.com/hmcotton. She has a ton of other Beach Body products she can hook you up with, like P90X and Insanity!

 

My breakfast this morning

 

Gym wise, I went 3xs this week and did Ab Ripper X at home. This week was extraordinarily busy for me, so I missed a few days in the gym. But that's OK becauuuuseee I lost another 2-3 lbs! I weighed in this week and the lowest weight I have been since the month before I got pregnant! Yahoooo!! I have lost just shy of 10 lbs in 6 weeks. 10 lbs doesn't seem like a lot, but I've also been building and gaining muscle too. I rewarded myself with a new Victoria's Secret Bikini this week to wear in Vegas! I'm not at my goal weight yet, I still want to lose another 5-10 lb, but I am so happy with the way I look right now. The happiest moment of the week is when I took my weekly picture, and my things don't touch anymore when I stand with my feet together!! Yes, yes yes!! That was the area that I had the most fat. You tend to store a lot of fat in your thighs when you're breastfeeding, so I had a ton of fat to eliminate from that area. I used to feel my legs rub together when I'd walk, and now it's gone! 

 

 

Welcome back thigh gap!! =]

 

 

I have 2 more weeks until we go to Vegas and I feel so awesome about my weight loss so far! I think I've transitioned to being insecure about the lovely stretchmarks I've acquired throughout 2 pregnancies than I am insecure about being fat. I'm having a hard time grasping that whole "Be proud of your stretchmarks, you've earned them" mentality. I've used Mederma for Stretch Marks for about 8 months now and it has made a drastic difference. I've also just started using a new product called Suuthe. You can buy it online and it has a very wide range of uses, I'm impressed with it so far.

 

That's pretty much a wrap on week 6. I cannot wait for our vacation in 2 weeks, we need it so badly! I definitely won't be entering into any bikini contests out there, but I will be rocking the 2 piece!
