weight loss early pregnancy sign | Ultimate Workout Playlist 60 Songs

weight loss early pregnancy sign

Im a huge proponent of using music in your workouts to help get you going.  Even on my most low energy, depressed days, when Im literally dragging myself to the gym or park with a head full of self-talk like, "Just WALK for 15 minutes- you dont have to run or lift weights." If, when I get there, I put my ipod on, after a few minutes, I cant help but start running or working out harder.  Like music magic.

Lyrics, tempo, beat, and rhythm get me in the mood to work out.  I like booty-shakin music, R&B, Christian Pop, and a little rock-n-roll.  Below are the top 60 songs currently on my "Work Out" Playlist.

To get me moving or start the workout I love to hear "Good Morning" by Mandisa & Toby Mac.

* * * * * 

When its time to lift heavy weights on squats, "Sober" by Pink is great because its a little slower (which is how I like to do squats, and I feel like it makes me dig deep).

* * * * *

In the groove and feeling good?

"Starships" by Nicki Minaj

* * * * *

"Only Girl in the World" by Rihanna

* * * * *

"Raise Your Glass" by Pink

* * * * *

"S&M" by Rihanna

* * * * * 

"Life in the Fast Lane" by The Eagles

* * * * *

"Lose Yourself" by Eminem

* * * * *

"I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas

* * * * * 

If youre working out some emotional stuff, going through a heartbreak, or life is just generally shitty, here are a few songs to give you some encouragement.

"Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson

* * * * * 

 "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera

* * * * *

"Perfect" by Pink

* * * * *

"Overcomer" by Mandisa (I added the lyrics to the whole song because its so perfect.)

* * * * *

Ready to cool down and stretch?  "You & I" by Lada GaGa starts with a great slower tempo.

* * * * *

"Where is the Love" by Black Eyed Peas

* * * * *

weight loss during pregnancy gender | Workout at Home Fitness DVDs

weight loss during pregnancy gender

Although I prefer to workout at the gym or go for a jog in the park, I know many people like to work out at home or have no other option.  When I announced I was starting a fitness blog on Honey Were Home, lots of you wrote in and told me about your at-home workouts that you enjoyed and saw results with.

Since I havent done any fitness DVDs, I cant give a personal review, but I was hoping that you could share in the comments section what DVDs you like and what you had good experiences with.  I think other people could benefit from your knowledge.

Please share!

baby weight loss first week | My Favorite All Natural Peanut Butter

baby weight loss first week

All my life I was a JIF peanut butter girl.  I bought the low-fat kind and ate it by the jarful.  I love peanut butter on almost everything- apples, celery, PB&J, chocolate, even on my pancakes.

A couple years ago, in an effort to eat less processed food, I switched to all natural peanut butter.  Ive tried all kinds of brands and even almond butter and keep coming back to my all-time favorite, Laura Scudders, because it tastes so good.  You do have to stir it some, but oil separation is normal in all-natural peanut butter.  Im currently loving the nutty one, but they also make it in smooth.  I can find it at my local grocery store.

So good on protein pancakes!  I recently tweaked that recipe- I now add a little milk to the batter too- it makes them less dense.  

Are you eating all-natural peanut butter?  What brand do you like?

belt to lose weight after pregnancy | Leg Glute Workout

belt to lose weight after pregnancy

Happy Friday to you!  Today is a "rest" day - yippee, I need it!  Ive trained heavy Monday through Thursday with my sleep all messed up and finally got a good nights rest last night.  I feel so much better.  We are having a bout of gorgeous weather here and Im chaperoning a class field trip today so its going to be a great day.  

Below is the LEG & GLUTE workout I did recently.  Im training to add more muscle definition to my legs- I have lost so much over the years.  My calves are genetically round thanks to my mom, who has the same legs.  

SMITH MACHINE SQUATS

I always start with these, a great compound exercise that works primarily the thighs, hips, butt, quads, and hamstrings.  The "Smith Machine" keeps the barbell steady and will only move up and down (as opposed to forward and backward), providing more stability.  I put that cushion on the bar too behind my neck because its more comfortable.

LEG PRESS

This machine might look intimidating, but I love it for training quads. I put 115 pounds on each side, for a total of 230- your legs are often stronger than you think!

BARBELL STEP-UPS

You step onto and off of the bench 10 times on each leg for a total of 20 reps.  This one really gets your heart rate up, but go at your own pace and be careful not to fall- place your whole foot on the bench, not just your toes.

LEG EXTENSION

This machine isolates the quad muscles.  Youll need to adjust the back to fit your height.  I can use it on the "shortest" setting, but I found a back piece that fits into the chair and like using it so the machine fits me perfectly.  I put 70 pounds in the workout, but Im up to 75 now.

DEADLIFTS

A great hamstring exercise.

baby weight loss causes | Workout Shoes Self Tanner

baby weight loss causes

Two things last week have given my workouts a little boost- new shoes and self-tanner. ;)  Im a big fan of ASICS running shoes and asked for a new pair for my birthday.  Love this pop of orange and pink!   Good energy for working out! I got mine at Sports Authority on sale for $99 (Gel Evate) hot pink/white/sunshine.

but these below are similar at Nordstrom for the same price. 

ASICS GT-1000 (Raspberry/White/Mango)

A good pair of shoes is an investment that serves you well.  

On another note, I like being tan, but understand that tanning beds arent good for you so Im staying out.  I will be at the pool this summer, but until then Im using self-tanner.  My girlfriend told me she buys Sephora Tinted Self Tanning Body Mist by the case and swears by it, so I picked up a bottle.   (Thanks Angela!) 

After using it twice, Im a convert.  This is the first spray tanner Ive used and its so much easier than rubbing in a lotion!  I just showered and dried off really well, then stepped back into the shower to spray the tanner on.  There is a light scent, but it doesnt smell bad like some tanners.  I will definitely keep using this one. 

Do you feel better tanned too?  What self tanner do you like?

pregnancy weight loss calendar | Back Workout

pregnancy weight loss calendar

Im glad to hear you liked the Shoulder Workout post- thank you for letting me know!  Today, Im sharing the back workout I just did and then Ill add the legs/glutes and back/bicep workouts.  As always, I warm up for about 5 minutes on the treadmill at 4.0, then do three planks (held each one for 2 1/2 minutes this time- which is freaking hard and Im always shaking at the end). 

Im listing the weight/reps/sets I do, but obviously adjust according to your ability and goals.  If I was a beginner, I might do 3 sets of 12-15 reps with a light weight.  For years, I did the below exercises at about 30 pounds (and no weight on hyper extensions) but I found that if I tried to go a little heavier each time, my strength grew pretty quickly.  And I take these vitamins and supplements. 

You always want to be careful when lifting weights that you dont injure yourself, so err on the lighter side at first.  Also, its a good idea to use a spotter. 

So here goes: 

via

I made a blank one for you too so you can print it out and fill in your specific workout.  You can copy and paste it into a Word document and then print it. I added a blank sheet on the shoulder workout post too.  I used to use my laminated workout sheets all the time, now I put it into my phone because they weight is always increasing.

HYPER EXTENSIONS
These are great for your lower back.  You can do this exercise without any weight (just your body bending down and coming back up).  I hold a 25 pound plate at my chest.

BARBELL DEAD LIFT
These are also good for your hamstrings.

T-BAR ROW

At my gym, Im too short for this machine (cant really reach the bars) so I use a barbell instead (like the second picture- but with a barbell instead of dumbbells like the model).  Also, I couldnt find this machine at my gym so I asked one of the trainers to show me where it is.  Dont be shy about asking for help!  When we realized I was too short for it, she showed me the alternative exercise.

WIDE GRIP LATERAL PULLDOWN
For years, I did 30 pounds, I guess out of habit/routine, now Im at 50.

Image via Workout Routines for Home

SEATED CABLE ROW
This is a great exercise too- watch your posture during the exercise.

Image via Total Fitness

STRAIGHT ARM PULLDOWNS
This is one of my favorite exercises right now.  A lot of back exercises also work your biceps and this is one of them.
