Piyo week 4

We FINALLY got out to grocery shop today so I didn't get my workout done first thing. 

Unfortunately, a second little fella went down with the sickness while we were out. Thankfully, the first is feeling all better though so I was fooled into thinking we were safe to roam! 

I did NOT want to do my workout when we finally made it back home. Tomorrow is the babies birthday & we bought them new Leap Pads. They LOVE them!! Kept showing me what they were doing & we were just having a great time fiddling with them (yes, they got them a day early - I have self control issues, ok!? lol). 

I very nearly called it a second rest day. I was supposed to do Full Body Blast & there was just no way. I went with Strength Intervals because I knew it would be fast & fierce! Bing, bam, BOOM! It's done. Heck yeah!! :)

Stats!! Week 3/round 2 of Piyo

It's STATurday!!

Yesterday, the little fellas kept me humble by 'playing music' on my belly while I got dressed for the day. 

This morning, I decided to step on the scale because I haven't in a while. The scale laughed at me as it reflected a number higher than when I started Piyo in July. 

BUT, I pulled out the tape measure & guess what? I'm down 3 more inches overall! That makes 14.5 inches since July. 

Please do NOT allow yourself to be fooled or deterred by one method of measure. I was obsessed with the scale for SO long & it messed with my head. Back then, I would be cutting food & giving up on my exercise right now, convinced that what I was doing wasn't working. I'm so thankful for my change in mindset & the knowledge that hard work does pay off if you stay consistent.
