And as most women I will probably achieve the 15 lb. weight loss a heck of a lot quicker than achieving the tight/tone I am looking for.
I started my journey today at 6 weeks 0 days.
Goal: 1.2 mile lap with hills + CFS Method DVD
jog up the small hill (3 minutes) and power walk up the monster hill (10 minutes) without stopping. With 26 lbs of stroller and 32 lbs. of kids.
Although my lungs were on fire, my skin red/itchy and my booty flopping in the wind I accomplished my 1st workout. Even did fitness testing so I can test again later on. Oh and some screamers (if you've done my Shed 5 Fast DVD you know what I am talking about when I say booty-burn!) at the top of the hill.
Fitness Test:
Wall Sit: 46 seconds and my legs were shakin'
1 minute push-ups: 10 real push-ups, 13 girl push-ups
1 minute sit-ups: 28 (little tender around my incision, otherwise just weak)
1 minute squat thrusts with jump: 11
1 minute high knees (elbows at 90 degrees hitting hands): 60
Tomorrow's Goal: Boot Camp DVD warm-up, toning/cardio #1 and #2 (10 minutes each), cool-down
Later this week, a Hot Yoga class. That's not taking it slow but I haven't been in so long!!! I will probably end up lying on the floor for the last half of class.
I feel like there is a light at the end of a very long tunnel. And if I have learned anything from going through IVF it's that Patience is a Virtue. I'll get my body back, it will just take time. Heck I know what to do! Now I just have to do it!

Awesome!!! You're hardcore! I am not sure I could jog up hill with a stroller & 2 kids... however, once this baby is out I will give it my ALL... I saw some inner thigh jiggle today in the mirror and almost had a heart attack!!! BAH!!!!
Screamers really did kick my butt during S5F!! Way to go jumping back into your workouts. Your 6-pack will be back before you know it! :)
Go, Lindsay, go! You're going to get there.
