Again, I am not a dietician or nutritionist – this meal plan can be found in back issues of Muscle and Fitness, their Rock Hard Challenge.  It is a balanced meal plan with 3 small meals and 2 snacks.  Below is Day 1, I will post Day 2 tonight or you can search Post Partum Weight Loss posts – I use vegan substitutes, if you need help with substituting just post a comment and I will try and help.

As for exercise, you are invited to join me for Free Yoga at Old Sawmill Park tonight at 6pm, you can workout with me in any of my group fitness classes, or come up with your own workout routine.

Start slowly if you are new to exercise, simply walking for 20-30 minutes or riding your bike around town.  If you are already an exerciser let’s build on that – hit the treadmill for 30-45 minutes of brisk walking on an incline, or running without the incline (both will raise your heart rate).

Tomorrow will start resistance training, and I will post a few exercises as well as some videos demonstrating them.  For today, our first day – just getting moving and don’t forget to finish with some stretching – or join me for Free Yoga in the Park at 6pm.

Now to the scary bit, the weigh in – we all have to do it, it keeps us accountable, so I will start out.  I have also taken photos of myself and Christopher in our swimsuits – 4 poses (front, side, back and side), can you see I am stalling on the Weigh In? Here we go:

1. Weight: 165 for both of us.
2. Chest (measured at nipple line around the body): 37.5 Christopher 40 Me
3. Waist (measured at the navel): 38.5 Christopher 37 Me
4. Hips (measured 4 inches below the navel across the illiac crests): 37 Christopher 40.5 Me

We also did our biceps, forearms, thighs, calves and necks.  You want to measure extremities at their widest point.

Keep in mind

• Only measure once a month
• Only weigh in once a week, Sunday night at the same time on the same scale
• Keep moving, keep eating – these are the keys
• We are not setting a goal weight, we are competing to lose the most weight, however we will do so in a sensible, healthy manner by eating right, exercising, food journaling, and supporting one another.
