A new decade for the new year!

Been a while, huh? Luckily it hasn't been a while since I worked out or tracked my calories, just a while since I blogged about doing it.

The plan for December was to do a mix of Turbo Jam and TurboFire. A week in, I decided that was too easy so I worked up a schedule to follow.
Monday - Fire WO and abs or core
Tuesday - HIIT and strength training
Wednesday - longer Fire WO
Thursday - HIIT and ST
Friday - Fire WO and abs or core
Saturday - rest
Sunday - rest
That worked out well and built in a little more flexibility to accommodate crazy holiday schedules. I kept my eating (mostly) in check and I'm now down to 148.2! Well, okay, today was 149.2, but I went a bit overboard with my eating on NYE and I'm still recovering.

I have one week until Nora is 9 months old. I have about 3 lbs to pre-pregnancy weight so I think I've got that made. I'm wearing most of the clothes I did last summer. One pair is even size 6! It's totally vanity sizing but wearing those on Christmas day and knowing I was back in the 140s was the best present I could have given myself.

I've been trying to decide what to do about my LTG (long term goal). After Mia was born, it was between 130 and 140. Then last summer I was happy at 145 so I just maintained there. I'm pretty happy with my body right now but I'm wondering how much better I could look. I'm trying to find a balance between pushing myself and not letting it become an obsession. So my plan is to reach 145 and then just focus on my fitness level. Since I'm starting a round of the TurboFire/Chalean Extreme hybrid tomorrow, I know I'll keep losing weight and inches. I've never been below an 8/9 in my adult life so I'm interested to see what size I could be. And I don't think I've been below 143 since I've been out of college. I'm not sure it's realistic to try to reach 128 (my HS weight) on the scale, but I'm curious if I could. But knowing my obsessive nature, I don't think that should be the goal. So I'll aim for healthy, which is anything 145 or below (no way I could ever get below 108 which is the lowest point of healthy for my height).

I also became a Beachbody coach! So if you read this (I think I have two readers, lol) and want a Beachbody product, let me know. My site is here. I made my first sale today! I'm excited about being an active coach now, but I'm honestly more excited for my friend to get and (hopefully) love Turbo Jam and get awesome results from it. Beachbody products, specifically Turbo Jam and TurboFire, have changed my life for the better. That's the gift I want to give others.

Happy Healthy New Year!
