Post Baby Weight Loss
I have reached my 6 weeks postpartum. I got approval from my doctor to start working out again! I'm so excited. I have lost quit a bit of weight since having her, I am down 23lbs. I currently weigh 130lbs. My pre-pregnancy weight was 121 lbs. So that is my goal for now to accomplish. I am going to periodically post my progress with pictures. I am going to start out with running and doing Bodyrock again. Then when I feel ready I will start Insanity! I'm so excited to be able to do this and have the support of others to help me reach my goal. :)

Post-Baby Exercise
I have always been into working out. Every since I was a little girl I have been in some type of sport growing up. I must say that one of the hardest things about being pregnant is the lack of exercise. For those that read this and exercise regular know exactly what I'm talking about. It's almost addicting and if you don't do it then you feel bad. My husband has been doing the Insanity workouts for about the last 6 weeks. I must say I am jealous because I want to be doing them with him! For me right now taking a 20 minute walk it exhausting. So, I have decide that I'm going to give myself a post baby workout challenge!
My plan is start workout again ASAP after Aubree comes. I know that I have to wait 6 weeks after labor to be able to do this. So, when I am able to go for walks again that will be my first step. Then after the 6 weeks is up I am going to jump right into doing Bodyrock again. I told you guys about this before. I really think it had a huge impact on me getting pregnant and sorting out my hormone levels. I will continue to do this for a month. They offer monthly challenges and I will do one of those. After that I am going to go all out and do the Insanity challenge. It's around 60 days and will be perfect. I'm sure that in between all this I will start running again. It's something I have always like to do and is great for just clearing my mind.
I'm going to record my progress as I go and those that want to follow along and give words of encouragement are more than welcome. I'm going to take the last picture while pregnant and have that to show how much weight I have gain throughout the pregnancy. Then I will take one after the baby comes. I know many times your body will go down, but you still aren't in shape. Then once I can start the Bodyrock challenge I will take a before and after. The same will go for the Insanity Challenge. I feel very confident that this will help me to get back to were I was before pregnancy. I really hope to get support from everyone reading this. I have already spoke with my husband and is on board to help me any way he can. I can't wait to get this started!
For those that want to follow my husbands progress with his Insanity challenge I will put a link below. Also, I will link Bodyrock in case you want to start your challenge now! ENJOY!

Can Working Out Improve Infertility?
When I first learned about my infertility I dove myself into working out. My infertility issue was hormonal. I wasn't producing the right amount of Lutenizing hormone, which makes you ovulate. The doctor had a theory that it was due to me being on birth control for so long, 9 continuous years.
To get my mind off of everything I began working out. Something I had always done, but for the last year I had only been a runner. I did some research online to find a good workout program. I came across something called BodyRock. It is a free daily workout program using H.I.T.T training (High Intensity Interval Training). I began their month challenges 5 days a week. It was great to do and gave me something to look forward to everyday. I never realized how big of an impacted it would have on me and my life.
After 3 months of doing the workouts I found out I was pregnant. I had to ask myself, was it the combination of working out with this program and prayer? I truly believe the answer to this is yes. Research shows that working out helps to balance out a woman's hormone levels. I think the key was the type of exercises being preformed with this program. Apparently, running wasn't enough because I had been doing that for 7 months and nothing had changed. Then magically after 3 months I was expecting my first child. I really believe that this type of exercise can impact hormone levels enough to change a women's body chemistry.
If you are suffering from this same type of infertility I would suggest trying this program. I will attach a link to their website for those who are interested. You never know it could change your life too.
