“I
started the challenge wanting to lose those last 5-10 post four kids
pounds. Instead, I gained two! I have checked and double checked all of
my measurements and yes, I’ve gained weight, lost a few inches around my
waist, and built up some muscle. During
this challenge my daughter turned eight and for the first time ever, I
heard her use the word “fat.” This has completely changed how I need to
view myself as I am the one setting an example for her. As a family we
exercise and go out for bike rides or hike. As a family we eat healthy
with the occasional dessert
(once-a-week-until-it’s-gone rule in our house). As a family, WE ARE
HEALTHY! She is 100% healthy and normal. AND, I am 100% healthy and
normal. I am ecstatic that I was able to tone up so quickly. Do I need
that number on the scale to drive my attitude about myself? NO! Maybe in
the past I was tied to numbers but now I need to show my daughter that I
can eat, exercise, have the occasional dessert, AND be HAPPY with my
body. My
body is just a shell of my true self and while I rocked that pre-baby
6-pack, my muffin top (oh how I wish we could spot reduce!) is a
reminder of a greater daily challenge I have to worry about than just my
own self-absorbed self image…….I am laying the groundwork for how
my daughters will one day view themselves. I want them to see themselves
as
beautifully as I do. Thank you so much for these at home work-outs!
They are very challenging and yet very conducive to a mom of four’s busy
schedule.” -Erin

Did first and last set of thrusters with 40# and second with 20#. I just should have done them all with 40#!
I finally got tired of just using a basketball for the wall ball so I made my own "ball" by duct taping two 5# plates together. It did the job and I like my little thing I made! 😉 I'll use that until I can get a proper medicine ball.
Good job Erin!! You took the words right out of my mouth!!

Erin! Thank you so much for your post! I'm in the same boat, want to lose that 10 lbs of baby weight and am struggling with my self image while trying to raise my boys to love themselves, it's so hard sometimes. You look fantastic! And love how almost all the women do far have gained a pound or two or lost no weight but they've lost inches – goes to show how much muscle is really healthier for you and weighs more. So happy I found this blog! Such an inspiration.
