Pregnant and Lazy::

So I am 30 weeks pregnant and I looked at myself yesterday and was so upset. I saw the cellulite coming in and my arms getting bigger, and up until this point I was ok with it. I was thinking and being told not to worry about you are growing a baby inside of you (Give yourself a break).....

Wait rewind... I understand those things but that doesn't mean that I have to completely give up on myself! So these last 10 weeks I am determined. I know there may not be a ton of change that comes from this but I am not going to just let myself go the rest of my pregnancy. I am going to be much more strict about my diet. Incorporating cheat days for when I am allowed to have sweets and using a moderate level workout program that my wonderful husband is going to help me implement.

I wrote out a bit of my statistics that I felt were necessary to understand in order to reach my goals.
68 days until my due date
My pre-pregnancy weight was: 134lbs
My current weight (30 wks pregnant): 157lbs

My current workout routine: No weights and occasional walking

My current diet: No real restrictions, I eat what I want. I have to admit I usually have something sweet each day :(

My new workout routine will vary but hopefully I can focus on my thighs and arms.

My new diet will be eating clean (fruits, veggies, beans). Also having a cheat day that I am allowed to have my junk food on. I would say it will probably be Saturday. (Yes, that is because of the donuts that they have at church) ;) 

My workout plan today will probably consist of:
  • Walking 20-30 minutes 
  •  Strength Training 
    • Arms - Dumbbell curls, triceps overhead, triceps push-ups (on knees), forward arm raises and side arm raises
    •  Legs - Forward lunges, squats, toe raises and some leg machines
    • Back/Abs - Lay down side leg lifts (right and left). Hands and knees arm and leg lifts.
  • Bike or other cardio cool down 5-10 minutes.
This may be a lot and over ambitious for my first workout back but I will try it and see how it goes. Hopefully I will be able to keep this up to date so I can track my progress.

K&J :: Anniversary

Kylee and James contacted me a few weeks ago to take their 1 year anniversary photos! I was so excited because I absolutely love photographing couples and capturing their love for one another through a photo. Check out a few of the photos from their session.
