Once your confident in those, you can do tricep extensions with hand weights. I only do triceps once a week with weights, because my arms are sore for a couple days afterwards. But good sore!
Hope that helps!

Thank you! Yes arm circles are killer. You can also use dumbells and lean forward abit and have the dumbbells at your sides wrists turned inward and elbows bent. You extend the arms until straight. Kind of like the motion of using ski poles of your walking. This also works triceps.Those "bat wings" are covering your triceps. That's a very weak muscle because it doesn't get used often, only when we push. One great exercise to work those is small arm circles, with your arms straight out. Sounds easy, but it gets killer after you do it 40-50 times. Start clockwise, do it until your arms are sore, and then do the same counter clockwise. SMALL circles, like your hand is maybe circling a grapefruit.

I don't know how you do it! That sounds exhausting! I don't have kids, and I can barely keep up with work, gym, friends, and keeping my house clean. (Seriously, the same load of laundry sat in front of the dryer for over a month, waiting to be folded.)
Thank you for the tips. I know at this point I can't do a push up. I have been doing what my son calls ye-Haw! I give him piggy back rides through the living room. Today I cleaned for 2 hours moving my washer and dryer and deep freezer. I swept and moped under all of them. I cleaned out my cabinets and pantry. After a nap. Me and the kids walked for almost an hour and I took them to the park where they played for 45 minutes.
My goals is to get more active and spend more time with them.
sounds like you went over and above!! give yourself a break!! You did a great job!! The nap sounds like heaven. can't remember the last time I took a nap!!

I can't clean when my bf is home-I usually kick him out for a few hours-try to get him to run to the store or something-I need music on to clean and he is a tv person-so I have to figure out how to play my music to clean without disturbing him. I am working on declutter my messy office and put a bed and tv in there as well as built in shelves on the walls so that my cats can climb to their hearts content..but every night I get home-its make dinner-eat dinner-clean up the cats-meds-vacuum litter-scoop boxes then its time to watch the news-then its 7pm and i dont feel like starting anything because i go to bed at 8ish. Need more hours in the day.
I try to clean at least an hour a day and walk at least 30 minutes. I get so frustrated on days like today. My bf has the day off and for some reason it messes with my whole day. I try to clean but its just not as easy with him here. I guess I am strange.
It helps that I am a stay at home mom. My kids watch their cartoons when I clean. I also have music blaring. They dont mind and sometimes make me take a dance break with them. I send him upstairs so I can get down stairs clean. If I can get that accomplished on his days off I feel like I am doing something.

Yes I understand the husband being mean. I used to do the same thing. I would binge like crazy when my bf was an a$$. Now I clean like a mad woman. It actually helps and I get some burnt calories.Whilst on the subject of partners. My Husband is not being very nice at the moment. Infact he is down right mean. Two nights in a row I've been eating choc chip cookies after dinner. It's an excuse. Yes it is. I am comforting myself. I don't want to do it tonight. Someone please stop me.
Here is a picture side by side. The first one I weighed about 280 I was five months pregnant. The second one I am down to 244. My boy is getting so big.
He's a cutie, happy birthday to him. My daughter turns 4 in September. I can't believe how quickly she's growing up.Tomorrow is a new day and you will do better. I wouldn't run at 3 am for nothing. But then again I live in the city.
I had chocolate over load today too. My son turned four today and I made chocolate cup cakes and had some chocolate ice cream. It's funny it's been so long since I had a cup cake they tasted really sweet. But the ice cream was good.

Good job on resisting the Mcflurry. The cupcake and ice cream together was 288 calories. So a little over have of that.He's a cutie, happy birthday to him. My daughter turns 4 in September. I can't believe how quickly she's growing up.
I resisted a mcflurry tonight. My husband had to go out and I wanted one so bad. He says to text him if I change my mind but I'm sticking to not eating it. It's like 600 calories that I don't need to eat. A bit of ice cream at home is one thing but that's a lot. I will have an apple with some peanut butter instead.
She would love that. She's obsessed with Paw patrol. We live in Canada and we have Family Jr here that does something similar. You send in the photo like 2 months before their birthday.Good job on resisting the Mcflurry. The cupcake and ice cream together was 288 calories. So a little over have of that.
Thank you. And yes time goes so fast. If you haven't done it yet join Nick Jr birthday club for her. They called him today as Paw Patrol and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. He smiled for over an hour.
I do a lot of crock pot meals if you want me to I will type them out and post in a little bit. I love my crock pot. My meals are simple not nothing great but you can eat them and not feel bad about yourself the next day.
sorry i didnt see this last night. i fell asleep at almost 7. then woke up at 2am. grrr. at work and reading all the support here. i will add more weight to my workout at lunch. i dont feel as sore as i expected. so will push myself a bit more. and well i went to the grocery store to buy fruit n vegs and walked out forgetting it. so next time i go will grab fresh food. i was intent to get my work lunches and something quick for dinner. i dont know what my problem is lately. i just have no interest in what i cook. and the things i like to cook and eat are fattening and bad. so i have to just bite the bullet...no more pizza for dinner...
