Baby Weight be Gone!

So I am all about celebrating the fact that my body did a pretty kick ass thing in growing and birthing our baby boy. However I am not about all the weight that the Mexican food and kickin' chicken placed on these hips. This is where Bikini Body Mommy comes in.

Four months ago I had a friend post a picture of her and her toddler post BBM workout and I had to know more. If you are interested this is the gist. Briana Christine founded BBM post pregnancy and had an amazing 100 pound weight loss in just under a year. Bikini Body Mommy is a great collection of short (20 minute) workouts set up in a 90 day challenge format. If you are looking for a quick way to fit in your workouts this is it and the best part is that Briana is so real. She struggles right along with you to crank out her reps. For me personally this is the best part. I feel like I am working out with a friend not some drill sergeant trainer.

Please be nice about these photos it takes a lot for me to post pics of me in a bikini :-/

I completed BBM 3.0 at the beginning of June and have since started 4.0. My results from 3.0 were a 7lb weight loss and a loss of 20 inches overall. Now that I have started 4.0 I am ready to set some more strict goals to really get this baby weight off. My weight loss goal is to be down 30 lbs by the end of 4.0 (I know this seems lofty but I want to aim high enough to really be challenged to stick with it) and be able to do 15 burpees without stopping.

Have you done Bikini Body Mommy? If so what were your results? Did you follow her meal plan or create your own? I would love to hear about it. Just leave me some comments and let me know how you lost the baby weight.

A Year Without Purchasing New Clothes. . . Can I do it?

So those of you that know Jose and I in real life know that we enjoy a good challenge.  This one will mostly be for me though. I am going to go a whole year and not buy any new clothes. I will be able to buy things from thrift stores or consignment stores just nothing can be brand new. Now I know this seems a little drastic but I need to get my closet under control and since I am hoping to fit back into my clothes from before Teddy one of these days I don't want a ton of in between clothes clogging up my closet. I also think I have a slight shopping problem especially when it comes to clearance racks. So here's to hoping this helps me curb my shopping habit and gives me the push I need to lose the baby weight. I will be updating here periodocally about this challenge (think monthly).

Have you ever done a no shopping challenge? If so how did it go? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Would you ever consider doing a challenge like this? If so I would love for you to join me! Just leave a comment and tell me about it.
