Kick Butt Friday

No, that's not a picture of me.

Oh how I would love it to be, though!

So would my hubby. LOL.

The following are current pics of me.

I'm 138 pounds as of last Saturday.

Okay, so my arms aren't as wonderful and tone as they should be, but I'm feeling stronger than I ever have. I've been working with free weights 5-6 days a week, and I'm proud of that. I've never been as dedicated to working with my upper body as I have been recently.

This belly is what happens when you have twins.

I've also been working on my abs 4-6 days a week, and they do feel better when I compare it with how they felt when I embarked on this weight loss journey in January.

I know it's definitely smaller.

I'm afraid that I will always have extra skin in my abs even when I lose all the weight because I'm way too scared to go under the knife. I also think that my skin has lost some of its elasticity.

I weigh myself  tomorrow, and I NEED to exhaust myself  today.

Today's Food and Activities

35 minutes run/walk program

(5 min. run, 2 min. walk)

45 minutes walk with twins

20 minutes abs

30 minutes upper body with free weights

1 light Activia yogurt

1 whole wheat english muffin, 1 TBS B&B spread, 4 slices tomatoes, 1 turkey bacon slice

7 almonds

2 small corn tortillas, 1 turkey bacon slice, 4 slices tomatoes, 1/4 nonfat cheddar

7 almonds

grilled pork and veggies with 1/2 cup brown rice

9 mini rice cakes

It was too cold to take the twins out for a walk yesterday, so instead I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party Mix 2 for 45 minutes while they napped. I haven't done it in a while, and it felt great to move to the fun music.

I'll let you know on Monday how my weigh-in went on Saturday.
I hope you have a "kick butt" Friday and a super weekend!
