30 day shred-day 14

Oh, I wanted to just pass out during today's work out. It's been a crazy week with my dad in town and I've been devoting more time to family than to working out. Thus only day 14 but I'm still sticking with it. I'm almost halfway done!

I also did a weight check last Friday: 150 lbs. Lame. But I attribute it to my bad eating while with all my family and not exercising because of weather and family coming into town. I need to stay more motivated and be flexible!

30 Day shred-Day 13

Today was great. My arms are so sore and I sweat like crazy! It must've been that I was wearing yoga pants and it was like 72 degrees in my house. oh man! The long weekend off plus Halloween did me in! Luckily I didn't gourge like I did in years past and I don't feel too bad. I didn't do a weigh in on Friday though so we'll have to wait and see what the damage is this Friday :)

30 day shred-day 12

Day 12...My eating today was pretty terrible. Danny's work had a Halloween party and I had 2 cupcakes, 1 fun sized kit-kat, popcorn, and rootbeer! Then I had 5 otter pops after I got home while I was working on the computer. So when 10:30 rolled around and I finally got to working out it got the best of me. I literally almost threw up. I still don't feel that great but it was my own fault and I know that. I didn't have to modify as much today which is great so we'll see how tomorrow goes!

30 day shred-Day 11

I started level 2 today and oh my gosh it KICKED MY BUTT! I don't know if it's because I took the weekend off but this workout was hard! I had to stop a few times and modified a ton of moves and couldn't finish some of the weight lifting parts. Oh man, this is going to be a tough next 20 some odd days. If this is how level 2 is I can only imagine level 3.

Girls overnighter...

So this last weekend some of my friends and I went to Park City and we, well, I pigged out! Oh man, I had tons of sushi for dinner then oreos, ice cream, cheese puffs, twix, snickers, etc. It was crazy. Needless to say the next morning I had a stomach ache. So today, after one day of clean eating I am feeling better but can't believe I ate all that bad food!

30 day shred-Day 10

Woohoo! I made it through level 1! Tomorrow I start level 2 and I'm excited! Hopefully it's not too hard...

Today's workout was tough. I keep telling myself I can't take breaks because it makes it really hard when I start working out again but alas I do it still again and again. I am determined not to stop again this time. Just push through it!

Sick again......

I don't know what my deal is! I've come up with one idea. Maybe my body was trying to get rid of all my "toxins" and so I got sick and then I really got sick and I can't get rid of it just yet. Whatever. I think I'm just going to try and push through this and keep working out.

30 day shred-day 9

It's been a few days. Tuesday my baby had her surgery so that day was out. Then Wednesday I was recovering from the surgery (lack of sleep, etc.) I did walk yesterday so that's good.

Today I walked and did the 30 day shred. Tomorrow is my last day on Level 1 so I'm excited to see what Level 2 has to bring. I did all my measurements last month and decided I would check them on a monthly basis to see if I'm losing or not. Well, today I checked and I have lost 5 1/4 inches all a round! I am so happy about my results. I definitely attribute it to the 30 day shred I've been doing, all my walking, and watching what I eat. I am going to check again in a month to check my progress.

30 day shred-day 8

Today was great. I feel better than last week definitely! I went for a walk and shredded today and I feel pumped! I love working out in the morning because it makes me feel good all day which makes me want to make good choices about my eating and further exercising (taking the stairs for example). I also drink more water on the days I exercise and eat well which makes since because my body needs it!

30 day shred-day 7

Wow! What a difference missing a few days makes! Day 6 was Monday and Day 7 was Saturday. I felt so sore today and yesterday when I was working out it was really tough. Day 6 I was finally feeling good while exercising. Luckily I've been feeling better and I don't know what I had, probably just the flu. I still walked most days (not on Thursday).

I did do a weight check and I'm now 149.5 lbs which means I've lost 1.5 lbs in the last 3 weeks. My weight loss is SO slow it's a little discouraging but as long as I keep going down (with weight and inches) is all that matters. One of my goals this year has been to weigh less than I did last year. So far so good. (Of course I had a 6 week old at this point last year so...)

Still sick...

Well, this just sucks. I haven't felt good for the last few days and it's really crampin' my style! Hopefully I will feel tons better soon and continue my 30 days, which I intend to!

Sick again

I don't know what my deal is. I started on my walk this morning and my stomach just was so unsettled. I ate a normal breakfast of eggs and toast and a little banana. I'm not pregnant either. I don't know if this flu/cold is just lingering but it was not a fun walk. I still went for about 40 minutes but totally felt like throwing up and luckily didn't. Oh well. I still don't feel well so hopefully I can muster up some workout motivation and workout after the babe's asleep for the night.

30 day shred-day 6

Today was great. I feel really good and have come up with a better workout plan so I don't miss days anymore. I am really really sad the weather is getting colder in the morning. I don't know what I'm going to do for my walking when it's snowing and such. I guess I'll figure it out when the time comes. Anyway, that's the update.

Sick sick Sick

On Friday I started not feeling well. By Saturday I was so sick! My stomach felt like it was being twisted like a sponge. No working out and luckily it was a Saturday and my dear husband was there to help take care of the babe. So that whole day was a waste and then it was Sunday and here we are back to today. So today should've been day 7 but it's going to be day 6 since I missed Friday. I think I should've done this same thing last week when I missed a day but maybe I will do 31 days of the 30 day shred to make up for it. So here's for continuing on!

Weight check

Ok, so I got on the scale this morning excited because I've been working out all week. And I've gained a pound. I was quite dissapointed at first but then realized it could be muscle since I've been doing weights all week. Plus, at the beginning of this week I didn't eat very well, terrible to be honest. I love my husband but I think I'll have to tell him to not buy me any more oreos, at least not the normal sized package. It was gone in like 3 days. I know, I'm terrible.

I haven't done my shred yet today but I will do it no matter what. I am excited to hopefully see results soon, you know, in the next 30 days anyway. Also, I took some before pictures so if I look any different at the end of the 30 days I'll post them :)

30 day shred-day 5

shredding: check

30 day shred-day 4

I'm posting a day late because I just didn't get to it yesterday, but yesterday was great and I shredded away. Still modifying some moves by no using any weights but hopefully that will end soon. I'm only using 5 lbs for heaven's sake!

I will probably keep doing the level 1 workout until I don't have to modify anymore. So hopefully by day 10 I will be able to do all the exercises with the weights!

30 day shred-day 3

It was 9:00pm and I was staring at the clock. I still hadn't done my shredding workout. And I never did...

Here's the thing. If I was in my old house I totally would've done it. BUT in this old duplex I think it would be too much to ask my neighbor to deal with his light shaking as I jump rope, do jumping jacks, and butt kicks. Tomorrow should I do 2 workouts or should I just do 1 and keep going? If anyone's out there that cares your input is appreciated! LOL

My day just got away from me and I will try to stay on task about it. To be honest I watched a whole episode of Smallville while eating Oreos while little babe was taking her nap. Not the smartest choice but there's always tomorrow.

30 day shred-day 2

Today was a little easier, probably because I didn't use the weights on certain parts that I skipped last time. This time I did the exercise without the weight and I liked that better. I'll definitely have to work up to using the weights the whole time. Also today I jogged/walked 1 1/2 times around the park which equals about 2 miles. I feel great and I've already had 40 ounces of water!

30 day shred-day 1

I was excited to work out today and actually wore my workout clothes for about 5 hours before I could workout. Life gets busy sometimes. Anyway, I started the workout and forgot how hard it was! I was halfway through and thought to myself, "how did I remember this being easy?" But I pushed through and only had to modify a few of the exercises. By the end I was a sweaty mess and very happy I did it. Luckily its only 20 minutes or I don't think I would do it! So here's to Monday! (Sunday's off ;)
