I didn't go to Pilates on Monday like I had planned. The class was at 8:30pm and I was a zombie by then. I was still super tired from the weekend and trying to catch up on the laundry and housework I let slide.
Last night I did make it to the gym though. I did mostly abs (russian twists, some kettlebell oblique exercises and the opposite hands and feet with the ball thing) with some lower back extensions and ball squats thrown in. Today I can really feel my legs from the ball squats, so I'm going to have to work on that a bit more for sure. I feel pretty good so far with the ab stuff I did. When I was done all that, I met up with my friend Tara and we did 25 minutes on the elliptical together while gossiping. I usually run intervals on the treadmill so the elliptical was a bit weird for me. It made my toes go numb for some reason, but I got sweaty all the same.
I haven't lost any weight yet (no shit, I've only been to the gym 4 times and it's been all of 10 days since I started this journey) but I have noticed a small difference in my shape. My mommy baby belly pooch doesn't seem quite so jiggly and saggy (awesome mental image, no?) so I am happy about that even if it's just a tiny change. I feel a little stronger in my core area already.
I was glad I made a trip to the gym last night because tonight my husband works 4:30pm to 1:00am. Weird, huh? He's inspecting some pipeline just outside of town, it seems really weird that he's doing at night, but whatever. Anyways, since he's going to be at work, I'll be home with the wee one tonight. I'll have to make our own dinner! Waaaaahhh! I love coming home to a dinner that's already made and ready to eat. Ew, then I'm going to have to do dishes too. Boo-urns. My husband spoils me.
