I decided to start a new blog to document my fitness journey so that I can see how far I've come.
About me: I am a 32 year old Korean-American, Mom of two, and a full-time elementary school art teacher at a high needs school. I am Mom to a very active 28 month old girl and a 2 month old newborn boy. I have struggled with many body issues over the years since middle school and I have learned that fitness and eating healthy keeps me happy and well balanced. I have had knee surgery twice and struggle with plantar fascitiis, so I have to be very careful about listening to my body and taking it easy with high-impact workouts.
I am now 2 months (and three days if you want to be exact) post-partum and in week 4 of pre-BBG Kayla Itsines Sweat program. A couple of weeks I missed one of the resistance workouts so I decided I am going to repeat weeks 3 and 4 of pre-BBG. Plus, it was getting too difficult for my out-of-shape post partum body.
I gained about 40 lbs during my pregnancy.
At the end of my pregnancy: 193
Now: 175
Goal: 153 (pre-baby weight).
I am currently wearing a size 8/29.
Pre-pregnancy I was 6/27
I just took progress photos two days ago in workout clothes, and then retook more today in a bikini so that I can document progress even if my weight doesn't go down as fast I would like because I'm building muscle. I'm trying not to weight myself too often. Maybe.. once a week?
I am also wearing a fitnesstracker to track my steps with a goal of 10,000 steps a day. I've only met that goal once. T.T. But I keep taking off the fitness tracker to wash my hands.
I am also keeping track of my calories on myfitnesspal app to be more aware of what I am eating, and eat healthy. I'm still trying to keep my eating up though because I am nursing.
I am most worried about the challenge of returning to work and juggling working out-- but I am going to try really hard to make it a priority because it affects my overall well being so much.. and happy wife, happy life... I believe the mood of the mom in the household affects the whole household.
So hear we go!!!
