Good for you for setting such great goals for yourself!!
Your husband must love such wonderful surprises when he comes home lol
i too am hoping to lose weight and gain muscle, not for anyone really, but just for me. I have poor self esteem and im hoping to heal the inside by trying to like what I see on the outside ....Its a place to start for me.
I have been trying to exercise as well and eat healthier and I really enjoy the ol tried and true exercises. My favs are:
inner thighs: lie on your left side, hand supporting your head, and put your right leg on the floor (bottom of your foot solid) in front of your left leg. Now raise and lower the left leg (which is kinda now underneath the right one) and do reps like this before switching legs. I hope that was understandable lol...It works great
tummy: I like to do normal crunches, however to make it a lil bit more challenging, try holding a 3-5 lb weight behind your head while doing so. Hold the dumbell vertically at one end and crunch as normal. It adds a little bit of resistance that seems to work.
Hope it helps!
Let me know if you have any routines that you find particuarly useful =)
