Welcome to Week 4 of Fitness Friday!!!

Danielle from We Have It All and I have decided to team up and encourage each other in becoming healthier and we are hoping you will join us!

Every Friday, Danielle and I are going to post an updates which will include things like our diet changes, weight loss, inches lost and activity goals along with the failures or achievements of our past week. Hopefully for me, this means losing enough weight to fit into back into my size 6 pants that I wore before having Sweet Pea… and hopefully a more fit and healthy body over all.

This is Me - 
NO I don't look that big but I am hiding a tummy and waist under that shirt that I don't like LOL

I will try my best to post on Thursday nights and the linky will be open for the whole week

Week 4:

OK here we go! This is currently what I dislike and am currently trying to work on… I do not like how big my stomach, thighs and sides are getting. I really hate that people keep coming up to me and asking when I am due and I'm not pregnant. Though we are trying to conceive baby #4.  

• Current Weight: I currently am weighing in at 136.2 lbs.  Which means I am down 1.6lbs since last week which is a start and i'll take it!
• Activity Performed during the week, accomplishments or failures: I did a lot of stairs this week and also about 15 minutes on the exercise bike for about half the week. I also have been doing sit-ups, crunches, stretches and using the punching bag for kicking. My hubby is also wanting to lose weight and get fit as well and will be participating in Fitness Friday too with his blog Cowboyz and Angels. We have been working out together this week and it is helping me to stay motivated.
  
  
• Diet Changes, accomplishments or failures: I do not diet! I do not like the word I think using the word sets you up for failure. But I do like to change things about my diet to help make myself healthier. So far I have cut down on the pop I drink and also switched to caffeine free pop for while at home and even while at most restaurants. I have been trying to drink more water which is hard for me because I am not a fan of water. Another thing I have been doing is not eating after 8pm. This week I have been doing awesome with not eating after 8pm! But if I do eat after 8pm I try to get something healthy like fresh fruit. I also started to try to find ways to make my meals healthier by cutting down on the fats and sodium I put into my food. I also have been trying to cook more from scratch and by using fresh produce so we aren't getting all the preservatives and additives. I am using a meal planning site that is giving me natural and organic recipes as well.
  
  
• Goals for the following week:
• Weight – I’d like to be 134 but any amount of weight that I lose will make me very happy!
  
• Activity – I would like to keep up with doing the half hour each evening with my husband. We rotate 15 minutes on the exercise bike with 15 minutes of other activities.
• Diet – I’d still like to work on cutting down on the pop…I'd like to just have 1 per day. And more water. No eating past 8pm…
  
  Please join us, the more we have participating, the easier it will be to keep going and reach our goals! Be sure to visit as many as you can in the linky… and encourage one another.
