Ok yesterday was my first day back working out. It felt great. I think what was really cool is having my husband coach me again. I used to resent it before feeling like he was too hard on me or treating me like a kid but yesterday I really appreciated his encouragement. While doing some upper body exercises I was able to see that Im not so far off as I once though. My worst area is my abs.
I basically did all the stuff I love doing... sounds dumb but I enjoy lifting so much it was great just to basically do a little of everything and get my muscles back into the swing of things, we did squats, shoulder raises, reverse crunches, bicep curls and finished with 15 minutes on the row machine. Its my goal to go up in my bench press, squat, deadlift and rows (each week) but for now to focus on lots or sets and reps to get my metabolism back up into gear. Ill post my PRs each week
O yeah right now I am at 156 lbs and 5'4". Im taking rip fuel to boost my metab, amino acid to help with recovery and prenatal vitamins to give me the nutrients I need. Im gonna stock up on oatmeal and protein shakes for morning meals and snack on things like cheese cubes, and tuna btwn meals.. Wish me luck!!!!
