Determined

After our anniversary celebration I am hitting this week hard with diet  and exercise. Today I started out with a 1 minute warm up run on the treadmill, and followed that with a little HIIT. I was dying by the end and almost didn't complete the 4th round, but I wouldn't give up and it felt great! The is the first time in months I felt like I really pushed myself.

10 burpees (do them the right way, no cheating)
15 squats
15 kettle bell swings
10 supermans
1 minute jump rope
1 minute plank

*do this 4 times with 1-3 minute rest in between times.*

It is amazing how your body really gets used to certain things, I really feel like running 3-4 miles is cake over this work out.

Speaking of cake…. No sweets this week until mothers day. My goal is to push hard this week and not let stress cravings get the best of me, but I will certainly be indulging a little this weekend. I am determined to change my body shape. It's nice to be 30 lbs lighter, but this still isn't a body I am thrilled with. There is a nice winter layer of pudge that has to go!

Tonight I am trying out lettuce wrapped tacos on the kids. I am super excited about this meal, somehow I doubt they will share the same sentiment…

Happy Monday everybody!
