Rest is a 4 Letter Word to a Mother.

  In my previous post I wrote about a Day of rest. Well we have taken that advice and researched a little an a day or so of rest should do us some good.

Also in a previous post I wrote I was losing about a pound a week, well I might have plateaued for the time being at 16 lbs lost. I refuse to let this happen but my body has its own plan. So my retaliation is to take the advice of my husband an have a day or two of rest to let my muscles breath, recuperate, and rebuild.

I plan on working out pretty hard on my day I do workout with my usual 2 mile run and double circuit.
As well as that I promised a up-to-date photo of myself.

That's me the last night before dinner with my lovely husband and beautiful son.




Also this is a 2 week comparisson photo. Obviously I havent lost weight I just toned up. which is why I am trying this day of rest to hope to jump start more weight loss. I still have a good 15 lbs to go.

Just a hair slimmer in the right picture. I am trying to to get frustrated an I will not give up! I just have to keep trying an hope for the best.
 
 But on a good note the change up in my workouts ( meaning the intense mountian bikibg attemps) has really helped. I find it a lot easier to run my 2 miles. Yesterday morning I ran 2 miles on the treadmill while baking strawberry muffins and shaving off 3 minutes from my normal time! I was proud :)

But I still gotta work on those abs if I plan on looking hot in a bikini in like 3 weeks! 3 weeks seems far away, but if your trying to slim down when your not seeing results fast enough it feels like tomorrow.

No abs yet. Key word, YET!
