Work Out: January Week 1

Well I don't get daughter-of-the-year award.  Yesterday was my dad's birthday and I thought it was the 29th so this morning at the gym when I saw that it is the 31st my heart sank because I missed my dad's already unfortunate December 30th birthday.  Sorry dad.  Happy Birthday!

Speaking of the gym, I promised some people that I would post this week's workout.  But first, I have some more pictures of my progress.  These are not the kind of pictures that you see on Facebook that people take of themselves with puckered lips.  I know you know what I mean.  I'm doing it to document my progress.  That's it.

So I have gotten some compliments that make me laugh.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any compliment but I get, "you look great for just having a baby."  Haha!  What does that even mean?  You don't look great for a normal person but since you just had a baby...  Just kind of funny to me.  And I know I've got a way to go to be where I want to be.  I'm excited for it!

Here is how I'm going to do it this week.
