I started my healthier food yesterday and successfully drank 10 glasses of water, actually tracked everything & did a 10min youtube cardio video. Here we go...

Nearly killed everyone on the thread haha (including myself )
So can’t do any atm but like to know what others do for when I get back in shape after baby!

Awesome they’re the ones I do!! (Did)
I love the 25 minute one with Simone De La Rue!
One her videos (not a pop sugar one) was 40 mins long and was for a company called Sweaty Betty and oh my god. That was the one that nearly killed everyone haha I was pouring in sweat whilst doing it!
I still couldn’t complete it all pre-pregnancy!
But got close!2 -

I will check that one out. I will have to work up to it. I'm in the worst shape I've ever been. Thank you for a great goal to work towards. I'm gonna say that I will do that video in 2 weeks. Can you send me a link so I can add it to my calendar? Please please please.2 -

That’s the pop sugar one
https://youtu.be/t5Xyb2h_KHo
That’s the sweaty betty one. In this one she does 3 sets. Each set is 1 part cardio and one part like weights or core work, so building strength.
So it’s cardio, strength, cardio, strength, cardio strength. I managed the first 1 and a half sets at first and tbh I thought I’d never manage it!
But once I got used to the routine, that helped as I wasn’t getting confused or anything or out of time. And then I think after 2 weeks I could do the first 2 sets.
So don’t let it put you off if you don’t get far! Just keep trying!3 -
Oh and I didn’t have any weights handy, she even says in the video to go get a tin of beans!! no getting out of it!3

Well today was only successful in the sense that I got plenty of rest I wasn't expecting to be sooo tired and craving beef, lol. So daily plans and dinner plans were altered. I'm not going to stress over it; I'm just going to go to bed and start over tomorrow.4 -

November Goals / Results:
- Scale goal 163# = 11/30 162.0 Very happy with this!
- Take measurements 11/30 R a.m. before work = Since 10/31, lost another 2.25" combined from waist, hips, thighs & neck. Yes, even my neck this month! Tried on wedding/engagement rings 11/18 and slid all the way on, so happy! With eating days since, haven't worn rings yet (I have pudgy fingers & don't like tight or stuck rings), but very close.
- Walk dog or treadmill 5x per week (no run/walk events in Nov., next one registered for is 12/2) = Past five weeks walked: 5x four weeks & 6x one week on MapMyWalk for 78.7 miles. Not counting staging the holiday parade on 11/18 & on my feet > 4 hours. This week I will walk in the Jingle Bell 5K for at least 5x.
- Start alternate workouts (weight machine, yoga, YouTube videos, ???) = Not yet. Nov. temps at or above average, only one day with snowfall < 0.5" so concentrated on dog walks and fall yardwork.
- Keep net calories green most days, at least w/i 100, and no logging food on Thanksgiving Day (11/23) = Think I did ok with keeping net calories green or close most days. Did not log food on parade day or Thanksgiving and ate/drank what I pleased.
December Goals:- Scale goal: maintain 162# or lower
- Take measurements 12/31 (Sun.) or 1/1 (Mon.)
- Walk Jingle Bell 5K on 12/2 in 45 minutes
- Walk dog 5x per week as long as weather permits
- Once winter weather forces indoor workouts, start alternate workouts (treadmill, weight machine, yoga, YouTube videos, ???)
- Keep net calories green most days or w/i 100. No logging food on Christmas Day, maybe Christmas Eve, probably New Year's Eve.
Borrowed from another MFP poster:
If I don't do what I can today, I won't be able to do what I want tomorrow.5
