1. Lose all of my pregnancy weight and tone up
2. Coupon to where I have enough stock piled for my family for the rest of the year (and on)
3. Pay all credit card debt off by the end of the year
4. Start Brayden's college saving plan
5. Save my emergency fund for 6 months worth
It's going to take a lot to make these happen but I'm going full force! On this blog I will post my workout progress along with my couponing trip outcomes to show my progress.
A little bit about me: I'm 25 years old, I work full time and have a newborn son. I have been blessed with an amazing family and friends. I love to horseback ride of which I will not be able to do until I get back in shape physically and financially, not to mention when my newborn is older.
On to my current status, I have started my workouts as of the first. My husband is a fitness guru who's passion is in power-lifting. His most recent feat was getting 1st place at the Biggest Deadlift of the South competition! :) Thanks to him I have a free trainer! Now to keep up with his diet and training guidelines...that should be difficult. Anyways, the first day we went was a leg day.
My first status pictures:
This is what the workout consisted of:
1. leg extension machine 3 reps of 10-12
2. squats (I was told to do what i could handle, apparently i'm not as strong as i thought i was because i couldn't get my form right at all! He ended up having me do front squats more on that below)
3. squat machine 3 reps of 5
4. calf raises 3 sets of 10
I was also supposed to do lunges but by that point my legs were jello so we quit at that point.
Front squats are where instead of the bar going behind your neck the bar is resting in front of your neck onto where your adam's apple would be if you have one and across your shoulders. you hold the bar up by crossing your arms and holding the bars in between your shoulder and neck. You then squat with the bar in regular form where you cannot lean forward (which is my problem).
More to come! :)
