Body Check in

So it is now July and I have been going to the gym pretty regularly for 6 1/2 months now. Right now I am going twice a week. Typically a mix of cardio and weight training, but with the gym renovations we have had some days were we just did all cardio because there were no machine available. 

Things that have changed

• Carry the little one on my shoulder for at least a 1/2 mile walk without any back pain 
• Pick up the oldest and carry him up stairs without getting winded or dropping him
• Carrying groceries/heavy things are easier
• Lost 15 pounds
• Generally more energy
• Acutally start to missing the moving of my body when unable to make it to the gym (when I was laid out with sickness for like 2ish weeks)

Not seeing a huge difference in how clothes fit yet which is not bothering me as much as I thought it would. We will see how i am feeling during vacation when I will be in a bathing suit for a good chunk of the week.  But honestly I was in a bathing suit 4 months after giving birth, so as long as I can keep up with the kids that is what is most important. 

But for the most part I have kept up with going to the gym at least once a week. I did take a break when I was recovering from stomach bug/cold/random sickness. 

Also all the weights I use have gone up. I was hesitant at first so I started probably way lower then I needed but I am hitting a point that most leg things are around 100lbs, arms are around 40-50 lbs and core/back are at 110lbs. which is pretty awesome.
