Workin' on my fitness

One of the less anticipated changes of giving birth is welcoming the baby weight. Some ladies have miraculous genes and instantly are back to their pre-pregnancy bod. You lucky dogs, you! Others, such as myself are less fortunate and actually have to do this thing they call "Exercise" and "Eat Healthy" if we'd like to reunite with our pre-pregnancy bod. On top of that I have an auto immune disease which makes it even harder!

I'm proud to say almost four months after birth I'm about five pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight! That's a 55 pound weight difference. I cut out pasta back in January, forever :(  with the addition of  healthy food options and exercise, I'm on my way to a healthier me.

Exercise is a huge part of this transformation. My heart took a beating with this last pregnancy so it was time to get down to business. Thank goodness Adam is so supportive and hey, a freakin MARINE who can work it out like no other! He's motivates me to run, yoga it up, sweat it out- you name it!

Emery's first hike! She slept the whole way up. 

I love doing an assortment of activities to stay fit. I believe in the spice of life and I am very ADD when it comes to excercisee. One thing we decided to do to spice up our fitness are races. We just completed our first 5k together and it was a blast!!! It's the Hit and Run 5k where there are obstacles along the way. We felt like little kids again bouncing across, getting wet, and getting hit as we made our way through the obstacles. We hope to get a bunch of people together next year for our team!

I looked so silly struggling to get through the obstacles and had a blast doing it!

Note to self, pants were a great idea but need ones that dry fast

Adam's Marine Corp training kicked in and he flew through the obstacles like a breeze. 

Can't wait for Hit and Run 2015 SLC!
