Fitness Friday - 30 Day Abs - After pictures

Happy Friday Readers!  Welcome to another week of Fitness Friday!
Photobucket

Do you remember back in December when I set out to complete the 30 day ab challenge and totally embarrassed myself by posting picture of my bare stomach for all the Internet to see?Well I'm happy to say that I did complete the 30 days, and that included time over the holidays!  So how did I do?  Let's look back at the before pictures one more time.


And now, after! {remember, this is not me sucking in or flexing my muscles at all, this is just how I'm standing....also I have no idea why the after pictures are so much darker...I'm actually way less pale now!}





Overall I'm really happy with the results so far.  I want to focus a lot more on toning this year, and I think this gets me off to a good start!

 Melissa  found some information for me about diastasis recti that I'm going to look into as well!

I"m probably not going to continue with the 30 day ab workout every day, but I do want to incorporate core work into all of my workouts from now on.  I want to be bikini ready come the summer!

So how have your fitness goals been working?  Brave enough to post some pics?  Grab my button, add it to your post, and come link up!!

    Thank you for posting about diastasis recti. I have never heard of it, but I'm 99% sure I have it. I've always been tiny but since having a baby via c-section I CANNOT get control of my abs. I actually weigh less and work out more now than I have my entire adult life, but the MINUTE I eat it looks like I'm 4 months pregnant! It's so embarrassing. I'm printing out those workouts she suggests to give it a try! Thanks again! :)

30 Miles in 30 Days

Image
Happy Thursday everyone!  I'll be honest, I almost didn't link up today.  Mainly because there's really not much to report.  Here's what I did:   Thursday September 19 - none Friday - nothing Saturday - 2.5 mile walk Sunday - nada Monday - zip Tuesday - nothin' Wednesday - no thing Weekly Total - 2.5 August total - 31.4 Yeaaaaaah...so that whole 50, maybe 60 miles I was hoping for this month is not going to happen.  In my defense, I seem to have come down with the plague and have been sick all week.  Saturday was the only day I felt kind of normal.  I always have trouble pushing myself when I have a cold to workout, and normally end up just sitting on the couch under a blanket instead.  I really do miss working out though and will hopefully be able to get a little something done to finish out the month. What about you?  Do you still workout when you're sick?  How do you motivate yourself?

The Movers Concert!

Image
Sooo, I totally didn't mean to take this mini blogging break.  But life has just been crazy busy and on the go the past few days that there was no time!  It was nice though to just step away from pretty much all social media and just LIVE.  This weekend was good for my soul and I will be doing a few catch-up posts to fill you all in! The fun began on Thursday afternoon.  Way back in October, Skip and I heard that that Imagination Movers were doing a concert nearby.  You know, these guys from the Disney Channel... They once aired a concert of theirs on the Disney Channel and Little M is OBSESSED.  We have it saved on the DVR, and she wants to watch it at least 3 times a week.  So when we heard about the tickets in October, we were really tempted.  But we didn't know if she would still be interested in them, and with our trip to Disney, we were saving all the money we could. Well fast forward to two weeks ago.  Little M was asking to watch the ...

What to wear in September

Image
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Jersey the weather gets a little strange here once the calender switches to September.  It's still really warm during the day {70's and 80's} but it drops down to the 60's, 50's and sometimes even 40's at night.  And since it's post labor day, it's not exactly appropriate to be rocking all my summer favorites.  So this often poses a real challenge when it comes to clothes. The past few years, since I'm a SAHM, I have just lived in yoga pants, a tank top, and a zippie {a zip-up hooded sweatshirt} most of the time.  But since I have to take Emmy to school now, I don't want to be that frumpy mom standing in the pick-up and drop-off area.  Here are some of the outfits I've been throwing together.  I've been working hard on finding things that I can easily add or take away clothes as the temperature changes, instead of changing my outfit 109834598 times a day. {Sorry for the...
