30 Day Postnatal Challenge-Week 2

So this week wasn't as productive as the first week. After having 2 days off and traveling I was exhausted and did not want to be active again. Also, did I mention how much I HATE working out? Well, I HATE working out. I do much better at exercising when I'm doing an activity such as Volleyball, Basketball, or Yoga. However, I understand now that in order to "repair" my body after pregnancy I need to get back into things slowly. This way once my muscles and spine are back the way they're supposed to be I can then play Volleyball again. Not to mention the little one is quite a distraction with her big grins and snuggles.

Week 2 activities weren't any different from week 1. A few of the days combined the cardio and workout videos from week 1. On day 3 I was exhausted and only did the workout portion of the video and skipped days 4 and 5. I know--shame on me! What are you going to do, I was mentally drained. Have you ever not wanted to do something so bad you wanted to cry? Well that was me on days 4 and 5.

My biggest complaints about this routine is that you workout for 5 days in a row and then take 2 days off. I've always hated working out that much so for week 3 I will be working out for 2-3 days, 1 day of rest, working out for 2-3 days, and 1 day of rest. This should hopefully keep me more motivated. I still don't like that the cardio videos having you doing a lot of jumping around which requires holding down "the girls".

Any advice on keeping myself motivated? I've thought about giving myself a reward once I reach pre-pregnancy weight or if I fully complete a week, any reward suggestions? What did you do to lose the baby weight?
