Thrifty Thursday: Fitness Necessities

So I am super excited for this Thursdays thrifty finds! I was in search of fitness accessories to make my quest for 3-4 workout days a little more enjoyable and accurate. 

I found this pair of over-the-ear headphones and matching armband for $12.99 @ TJ Maxx It came as a set which was a steal since I went to Sports Authority prior to and the armband alone was $30 on clearance!

It even has a special pocket for my house key :)

I was also able to score a calorie counter/stopwatch as well but this time Sports Authority came through! I found this watch which is regularly $50 on clearance for $29.99 and then I had a 15% off coupon from my new MUST HAVE app 'Snip Snap' which saved my $4 extra!! #winning

 Now I just have to figure out how to program it!!

Fitness Makes You Feel Good Friday

So my battle to get fit I feel I have to show my motivation and goal body and where I am now (baseline photo) in order for my progress to be seen! I believe you have to visualize your goals and make it clear so that you can achieve them and be constantly reminded that it is possible. This week I began my journey on my post pregnancy body. I must say that I wanted this body before I even got pregnant but I don't believe I was fully committed. Today I am claiming my 'Get Right' Body!! 

Current weight: 158lbs

Goal Weight: 125lbs

My goal body 2010:

Toss up Tuesdays: Post-Preggo Weightloss

The pressure to lose the pregnancy weight & lose it fast is REAL! I find myself weighing in everyday and I am obsessed with new workouts via Pinterest and I'm exactly 6 weeks out today! I have an appt for clearance on Thursday to be able to workout which I'm excited about, but it's bittersweet. I follow these mommy bloggers that show flat abs at 8 weeks post partum, and I am wondering how in the heck! I will admit I didn't have a flat stomach before but my biggest question is when do they find the time?!? Between breast feeding/pumping every 2-4 hours I can barely find the time to take a shower in the day much less workout!! So my goal is to find some type of workout daily that will allow me to get in the habit of just getting active at first. I've found a couple 15-20 minute workouts that I'm going to try out and see if they work! 

I gained a total of 45lbs total during my pregnancy!

Here is my journey:

Pre pregnancy:

37 weeks preggo:

4 weeks (PP) Post-Partum: 158lbs <no workout or dietary constraints just breast feeding>

So far I've lost 27 lbs now is when it gets tough!! Operation get right in full effect. I will post my workouts soon!
