Well, it was bound to happen...the Holidays! I let them run me right over and take my "time" away from me. I gave it about 50% of thought that I needed to make sure to include a workout each day. Well, I at least got one in during those 2 weeks...and still managed to maintain my lost inches and lose a few more pounds! Ha Don't worry...I knew this would happen. I have done it each year during the holidays since Khloe was born in 2010, that is why I don't think about weight when working out during the winter.
Here is what it looked like:
2010 - I had Khloe in April and went from 219 to 175 (my pre baby weight) by October then BAM...I dropped to 160 over the holidays. *"They" say the 8 months post baby does something to you and you magically lose weight...well "they" were right!
2011 - I gained back up to 172 by August and then dropped back to 158 over the holidays
2012 - (I started BodyRock in late January) I went back up to 168 but lost a ton of inches and clothes sizes due to my new found love of HIIT workouts :)
2013 - I was back down to 164 during winter and went right back up to about 169/170 late in the year
2014 - I went back down to 165, then late in the year I crept right back up to 171
2015 - Here I am now, 163 and holding! Ha
So, why tell you this? From 2011 to now I have weighed between 172 on a high day to 158 on the low end, and still wear the same size clothes :) I cannot tell my progress by my weight, and you shouldn't either! I lose in the winter and gain in the summer because of how and what I train for during the year.
I thought I had it all planned out and that I wasn't going to workout as much or do events as much this year so I could focus on having baby #2. That lasted about 2 weeks! I am chomping at the bit for a race already!! So, instead, I will continue on my track as normal until I do get pregnant and then I will decide what I can and cannot do :)
In 2013 and 2014 I did 10 events a year. Here is what it looked like:
2013 2014
Joe Cain 5K Biggest Loser 5K
Azalea Trail Run 10K Azalea Trail Run 10K
Hollywood Half Marathon Miami Super Spartan (8.5 miles)
Pursuit of Fun Run 5K Ride Yellow (37 miles)
Ride Yellow (10 miles) ITU World Triathlon Sprint distance
Color Run 5K Heart Walk 5K
Mighty Magnolia Triathlon Sprint distance The Nations Triathlon Sprint distance
Gulf Coast Spartan Sprint (4.65 miles) Dallas Spartan Beast (13.6 miles)
ADPi 5K Mississippi Spartan Sprint (4.93 miles) Fleet Feet 8K Turkey Trot for Hope 5K
I am super excited this year for what is in store! What are the "plans", well to double Trifecta of course! I feel led this year towards more obstacle races and runs. I still want to do at least 2 Triathlons...may be Chicago again (to redeem myself from the tragedy that occurred there this past June) and the one here in town. I also plan to run at least one half marathon and several 5k and 10ks. We will see what this year holds! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
April
