Strength training and recovery snack

I was able to make it to the gym for a quick 35 minute strength workout after a 40 minute super fast walk with Carter. The routine I did is below:

Warm up 5 minutes on elliptical/treadmill

Tri-sets:

Bar to floor push ups
Standing Lat Pulls
Weighted Traveling Lunges

Cardio

Overhead Press with kickout
One arm skull crusher
3 minute abs: scissor kicks, bicycles, double crunch

Cardio

I was super hungry after the gym so I made a super tasty 150 calorie, 8 grams of fiber, 13 grams of protein shake!

3/4 cup mixed berries
1/2 scoop pure whey protein powder
2 cups fresh spinach
1/3 cup carrots
Water and ice to preference

Now it's time to get ready to go out for the night! Hurray for
Babysitters! :)

Last spin before teaching...and tasty oatmeal!

So today was my last spin class as a
Participant before I head back to teaching Monday morning...eek! Spinning is the perfect exercise to get back in shape after having a baby though, so I'm super excited! Major calorie burn without high impact!

This morning's breakfast was delicious oatmeal with fruit...it will stick with me all morning, plus oatmeal has been shown to increase milk production...hurray for multitasking foods!

Getting back in the exercise saddle...litterally!

He's here! Carter Douglas Heide: born October 30th at 11:30 p.m., 9lbs 15oz and 21 inches long. 28 hours of active labor, 2 hours of pushing (best workout ever!) and then a c-section...C was just too big for me :)

Here is my journey getting back into shape an into my pre-baby jeans without having to suck in.

Carter is almost 2 months old and it is time to get back in the spinning saddle. I have been release for exercise after my c-section for about a week now and it has been awesome and different working out. Awesome as in a kick butt stress reliever, different in that my body is different and feels really weak. Any new mommy with me here? It's so strange to have super loose ligaments and to barely be able to finish a set of 12 push ups. Therefore, I'm taking it slower than I thought I would have to. Supplementing my normal spinning and weight lifting routine with yoga, I think I'll get my strength back in no time! I'm planning on chronicling my workouts and nutrition in this blog, plus other "mama" things that other's might relate to.

Today's workout: yoga, lower body, chest and back

Nutrition: oatmeal, salad and soup day!
