The Unfit Mommy

So I decided to stick with my rather unwise chose of name, The Unfit Mommy. Of course, I'm not a perfect mom, but I'd like to think I'm a pretty good one. This blog is not about my ability as a mother, but my ability...or perhaps inability...to become physically fit. I really want to change my relationship with food and exercise and I hope that logging my progress on this blog will guide me in that endeavor!

My Goals

My 1st goal is to lose 10 pounds. This has been my goal for the last 2-3 months. I keep losing 3-4 pounds and then gaining it right back. One thing I have been doing consistently is the Couch to 5K program. I am finally starting to enjoy running! However, I don’t run as often as I should and while I’m seeing results fitness wise, I’m not getting far in terms of weight loss. So I’m starting a new fitness plan today.

Here’s my plan:

Monday: Run

Tuesday: 30 Day Shred

Wednesday: Run

Thursday: 30 Day Shred

Friday: Run

Saturday: Run or 30 Day Shred

I’m sure there are more intense programs but I need to be realistic too. Working out 6 days a week is going to be a big adjustment for me. Once I get used to that, I will increase the length of my runs and add in sit ups and push ups on my running days.

I am currently on week 6 of the C25K program. I’m going to continue to follow that and hopefully run a 5K soon.

I will also be logging my daily food intake and calories. I’m going to have to limit my calories to 1300 if I don’t exercise and 1400-1500 if I do exercise. You would think that would be motivation to work out, but sometimes it still doesn’t work!

Each week I will post how much weight I have lost or gained. And for the first time ever, I’m going to track my measurements.

Wish me luck!
