2nd shot last night. Did not sleep very well at all so I did not get up to workout. I will try to fit in a mile run after work. I am less than .5 miles from 50 for the month. lol. I stepped on the scale. Will someone please just come to my house and take it away from me? +4 pounds for the month. I want to scream are you freaking kidding me? How? Why? My eating hasn't been that bad. Ugh. I have to let it go. I am already working on my new goals and I just need to keep moving forward. Without a scale. I volunteer as tribute to come demolish your scale for you! I’m resisting reposting that IG reel here about tossing the scale “You stupidassbitch, I aint fucking w/you” That and if it's a single weigh in, it means fucking nothing. That would be like me saying our entire month was hot because it was 90 one day last week.

Also, I'm having a pint of ice cream for lunch right now.
The excruciating sleep deprivation is just crushing me guys. Any ounce of motivation and desire is slipping away. But then I'm also annoyed because I dislike my pp body so much still and I have so much work and progress to be made and I'm doing myself no favors. But I'm literally at the point of tears I'm so tired. This fucking baby, he is the worst sleeper. Worst. I'm over it.

I could not even begin to think about losing baby weight with my first given the horrible sleep deprivation until she started sleeping better. Like, it wasn't even a serious endeavor in my mind. When I finally stopped pumping and she was on more solids and I started to feel human again, then I could figure out how to make it work. Until then, it was just survival. I see you.

cnf first year is so much survival and with a bad sleeper- that's just so much worse. It sucks when you want to focus on things, but something out of your control isn't letting you do that. Enjoy your lunch.

I hate the scale, but we have a continuing relationship. swellist, I have a NordicTrack bike. Hard to endorse anything right now though, because they won't stop using the same stupid delivery company.

Haven’t posted in a few days, but I finally rejoined the gym this week after 14 months away. It was exciting to do a Tread workout on an actual treadmill for the first time!
20 minute 60s run with Becs 10 minute core with Emma 5 minute post run stretch with Becs
Just a little short run today, hoping to do a long run tomorrow if I can work out exercise schedules with H. They announced a new date for my March half this week - July 18, ugh. It will be my first summer race, I’m determined to do it but my time is going to be shit unless it’s an unusually cold day. Planning to approach it as just for fun, and enjoy being back in a live race environment without stressing too much about finishing time.

::waves hi:: checking in because we are heading up to Syracuse to see family we haven’t seen since last summer and I’ve got some time to kill. I’m still figuring out wtf is wrong with my hip/groin and I’m currently sitting sideways on a pack of ice. I got the all clear for an MRI today so I just have to schedule.
I’m killing the game when it comes to core and upper body but also stress eating like a boss. Balance. I’ve also discovered I like RK for Pilates.
Hooray for the pause button!

cnf sleep deprivation is the absolute worst. And it also messes big time with appetite and hunger signals, and makes your body hold onto weight (survival! Energy stores!). I’m sorry you’re struggling. You have a lot of odds stacked against you right now.

We’re getting a not-insignificant tax return this year and I’m debating whether it would be better to pay down mortgage (responsible), invest (responsible), or put some towards a bike + (not irresponsible, but also not necessary, y’know?)

Was so very tempted to turn off my 4:15 am alarm and skip cardio day, but my H and the dog were snoring and I knew it would irritate me and I wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. So 5 am cardio done! Just trying to survive my Monday of my work week.

I’m sorry you’re struggling. You have a lot of odds stacked against you right now. This. MH is working lots of nights and was wondering why his usual weight loss plans weren’t working. IMO the lack of deep sleep and constant broken sleep cycles contributes 10000%. Add increased cortisol on top of that and it’s actually legit impossible. I’m sorry you haven’t caught a break yet cnf. A reprieve is in sight!

cnf, I'm sorry about the sleep deprivation I was there a few years ago thanks to a senior dog whose days and nights were backwards. Averaging a couple hours of sleep a night, sitting on the deck sobbing while she wandered the yard at 2:00 a.m. It got to the point where I was afraid to drive because I was so tired all the time. I am now so protective of my sleep now. I'm kind of over the top if my sleep gets interrupted because that period of time was so horrible. Fingers crossed it eases up for you in the next few weeks.

Afternoon!
I am down 1 lb this week which I'm happy with since last weekend I was traveling and eating whatever. I was pretty strict Mon-Thurs and it worked.
I had moved the HCOTF calendar a day up this week because I'm traveling tomorrow, so I had nothing to do this morning since the May calendar is not out yet. I did a 30 min upper body workout with Matty and 10 min core with Rebecca. No bike today.
We're going to Baltimore for the day/night tomorrow for a friend's 40th birthday re-do (it was last year during lockdown). I'm pumped! H and I would like to each get in short workouts in the morning but we will see, it depends on when we're leaving.
B - Skinnytaste banana muffin L - chicken broccoli cheese sandwich (out to lunch) D - ? S - ? probably a drink or two

Do you have any sick time or personal time that you could use to just take a day to rest, exercise, or both? I can’t remember if your kids are at your house or if they go elsewhere during the day, obviously if they’re home it’s not going to help you.

Hello! TGIF!
It is nasty and rainy here. Took me forever to get my butt in gear but once I did I had a great workout.
20 minute pop punk ride with Kendall 20 minute country ride with Denis 15 minute arms and shoulders with Adrian
I always forget how much I like Denis. He’s really good at giving out good form and technique advice which I really need. I lean on the handles too much causing shoulder pain.
Anyway. Have a good weekend everyone!

I finally figured out why I was so snacky - not hungry, just eating good things out of my pantry, and I think it was because I wasn't eating enough for breakfast. I've made by breakfasts more substantial this week, and it's made a big difference - I'm not looking for something at 10, just a new cup of tea and on my way! I added the carbs/fat I was snacking on into my breakfast, and had english muffin/avocado/egg, or oatmeal with fruit, PB, greek yogurt, and honey. Yum!
Biking to/from school today, I just finished a 2 mile walk, and I plan to do some yoga shortly!

Active recovery day here. I did a "just ride" option on the peloton since I wasn't really feeling like following along to anything. I put the tv on and just flushed out my legs for an episode of Desperate Housewives (this show has not aged well). I also did some stretching.
Oh and the mileage I picked up today put me over 1,000 miles for the year so far! My full year goal was 2,000 so I'm pumped to be over halfway there before the mid point of the year.

Get a bike+. Do it. That's what we used part of ours for. Between all the stimulus money and a large tax return, it made the bike a feasible purchase.

The joys of the lack of universal maternity leave in the US. I had to use all my PTO to get any pay while on leave.

I was soooooo sweaty/anxious about spending that kind of money on a want and DH was sort of dumbfounded. then the other day he was like, man if that thing ever goes down, we are definitely just ordering another one that day. So, I'm biased lol but worth it.

It was nothing but cold and drizzle yesterday so I opted to do a true rest day (although I got in a sleep meditation before bed).
For today, I did a 5 min pre-run stretch with Olivia and then W3/D2 of Couch to 10k (I did see they have some additional running programs they're adding to the Peloton app that I'll have to check out and perhaps weave into my current plan. Although I usually like to stick to 3 runs/week. We shall see).
I added on Hannah C's 20 minute Barre with bands (which featured so many clamshells, I lost count). I stretched on my own afterwards.

This has been me with both kids so far. I’m really sorry cnf. It just seems endless when you’re in the thick of it. With both kids I didn’t feel like my normal self until a year post partum, after weaning, and when they slept better.

Why do they care if someone else pauses their workout? Is it because of competitive output shit? Like someone could pause and come back and get a better output?
