Xtend Barre Event.

Last night I was so lucky to be invited to a wonderful blogger event at 

Xtend Barre in Provo.

I have heard about Xtend, and walked by a few times during trips to the Riverwoods and have always been interested to take a class.

When I got the invite I was a little nervous about an hour long workout class since I am 31 weeks pregnant and have done VERY minimal exercising throughout this pregnancy.

(my excuse is that I chase around a 30lb toddler all day and that's exhausting enough)

My husband convinced me I needed to go and my blogger BFF Bri agreed that even if I wasn't able to do all the activity I could still be with friends and have a night out.

I am so glad I went.

Our instructor Stacy talked to me before the class started and let me know she would help me with some alternate positions for some of the workout for my pregnant body.

She was so great and reassured me it was OK to just listen to my body and not over due it trying to keep up with the routine.

I tried my best and felt pretty comfortable throughout the class.

I absolutely loved the routine.

I will be back to Xtend Barre for sure once this baby girl is born.

I can't think of a better way to help get my body back in shape post baby!

Operation Hot Mom

Yesterday marked DAY 1 of Operation Hot Mom, my 30 day challenge to get my body back in shape after baby.

It's been 4 weeks, and I figured that is long enough for me to "recover".

During the last 4 weeks, with no physical activity, I made it almost back to my post baby weight (4lbs over)

My goal for the first 30 days is to hit a specific weight and body fat percentage. 

I have mapped out an exact workout plan for each day and will track and watch my food intake. 

I am hoping that I can hit these goals and that after the 30 days I can continue to work on my health and stay in shape.

It has always been important to me to make sure I am healthy and in shape so I can have energy to keep up with my children and every day life.

I also want to make sure my husband still finds me SEXY.

I am very excited for the next 30 days to see my progress.

Here I am, 4 weeks POST baby, Day 1 of 30 day challenge. 

This is PURE motivation. Yuck. Get rid of that Gut.

 What tips do you readers have on eating healthy? Meal ideas, snack ideas?? I have a "plan" in place but always interested to hear what has worked for others.

(Especially for yummy healthy meals. I LOVE a good meal)

Wish me Luck everyone.

Watch for weekly updates on my progress and more. 

Also Enjoy Some picture of the week :)
