Work it Wednesday: Week 4 - Queen of the First Grade Jungle

Work it Wednesday: Week 4

Welcome to another weekly post of....

I feel like I connect with so many of you on my Instagram account Kking_Fit_Mommy, but I love this post because like all blogging, it allows me to reflect on how things are going.


Smith is SIX WEEKS OLD! How is that even possible?  I have this weird feeling like he just got here, but yet there was never life before him. I hope that makes sense! We just adore him SO much! Along with being six weeks postpartum, I had a doctors appointment. I am now cleared for all types of exercise... Even though I have been very active for a while. Now I can start back with those heavy weights that I love so much! 


I also have become slightly obsessed with my FitBit. If you are a Fitbit user and would like to connect you can find me by using my email address queenofthefirstgradejungle@gmail.com to add me as a friend! I love doing challenges and cheering y'all on too!


One way I'm getting my steps in is by doing a lot of housework. I'm cleaning out closets and organizing clutter during Smith's naps. I'm making up for all those lethargic months during my pregnancy.  


I started my early morning (5 am)  workouts again. The weight room is slightly intimidating now as I am out of shape, but it will get better soon, I know it! I am also frequenting Body Pump once or twice a week.


5 am workouts mean bring prepared and laying out clothes the night before! I love 5 am because nothing else can get in the way of it and it's all "me" time! 


And last but not least... Here's a little motivation for those of you on your own fitness journeys! 

Link up with your post below!  I can't wait to read!!!

  4. 5 am work-outs?!? Can we say AMAZE! I've been following your fitness journey on Instagram and I have to say definitely inspired me to get in shape. :) I was a dork and sent out a blog for "Currently" before linking up today, but I'll definitely link up tonight! :) I've loved reading your Work It Wednesday for the past few weeks!

  7. I cannot quite commit to 5am...but I do stay pretty consistent with going to my kickboxing fitness class. I have focused on cardio and my weight loss has plateaued. I need to change some things up. I'd like to try lifting. Any tips for a beginning lifter? What kinds of weights? How many reps? How much time do you spend lifting in the gym?

    This is a great linky!

  8. Thanks for hosting this linky Katie!!! It has really helped keep me motivated. I love my weights but I haven't been able to do them for awhile. I need to go to the dr and have my arm and elbow checked out:( I keep putting it off and it's not getting better. Anyway cardio it is for now.
