Days10 -13

Again totally slacking on blogging but not on the working out.  I'm two days into level 2 of the 30 Day Shred.  Oh my!  Today was a bit harder too as I got up early to go to a ladies conference at church then spent all afternoon running errands.  I was totally tired when I got home and almost opted for a power nap but instead I did my workout and I feel great both physically and emotionally.

That said with the ladies conference there was food!!! I stayed with my diet but I did end up eating back my workout calories which I've been trying not to do.  I really started that on this past Wednesday so I'm going to hold off on weighing until Wednesday to see if it really made any difference.  :)  I'm hoping for the best! 

Day 20 - Last Day of Level 2

Wow, these past 10 days have really gone by fast.  I start level 3 tomorrow. It's good that happens to be Sunday because, there may be some praying involved.  :)

My body still hurts here and there but I feel like I'm getting stronger everyday and I feel better everyday!  Please do leave a comment if you drop by I'd love to hear from you.

*Small note, I said I was going to buy myself something every week... use that money I was spending on Chinese takeout.  I had a cute handbag picked out, went to get it and they didn't have the color I wanted.  But I'm still going to get something and I will post it when I do. 

Day 19 - Rest To Be Your Best

Silly me! I got to surfing the net last night and ended up staying up about two hours or so past my bedtime and on top of that I had to get up about a half hour earlier today.   Let me tell you this made a huge difference in how my workout felt.  I'm still shaking.  Lesson learned... might be taught again but hopefully not very soon! 

Another day another X on the calender!  Closer and closer to getting where I want to be!

Day 18 - Oh Cramp!

Today I kept getting a cramp in my right thigh but I powered through anyway.  Ain't nobody got time for that!  Ok, I know that's getting old but whatever.

Two more days of Level 2!  Yippy!

Day 17 - Is This Getting Easier

I think it is, not saying it's easy but it figures I guess that is why there are 3 levels of the 30 Day Shred so that just when I think I can handle it... BAM! Here we go again.

I'm hopeful today for what I may look like come this summer.  Maybe I won't have to do the run of shame at the pool.  You know the one were you take off whatever is covering you and get in the water as quickly as possible so less people may see you. :)

Day 16 - I Got This!

Headed into my workout today I was still jazzed from my weighing a measuring this morning!  Not an easy workout as usual but I felt a little peppier about it today!

Oh and to keep me going, since my jeans are already getting loose, I decided that at the end of my 30 days I'm going to go jean shopping.  Based on past performance, I'm not keeping roomy jeans just so I can fill the space in them.  :)

Day 15 - HALF

Yes, I'm half way through my first 30 days!  Or one sixth of the way through my 90 days! 

I wish I knew why some days felt easier than others.  I'm not lying when I say today was hard for me, hard to start and hard most of the way through but I feel so much better now that I have it done!  :)

Honestly I've been having that sort of day where I feel hopeful and then I feel like being not just skinny but fit and skinny is impossible, especially at my age.  I know though that I can't let my emotions run this show!  I need to do what I can to get where I want to be no matter how I "feel".  

Day 14 - Two Weeks Already!

I can't believe it's been two weeks!  I feel so accomplished.  What is it "they" say about making a habit is it 21 days or 28?  I don't know but I'm getting there!

I'm late to work out today.  I had a church class this morning about serving and then of course service.  Then I came home to take a nap.  All that spirit moving made me tired.  :)

Now I'm off to shower and to make dinner.  I have to say again though that I feel so great even if my body still hurts.  Oh and! And!  I put my pants on this morning that were freshly washed and I could tell they were roomier, not like totally baggie but it was a difference!

Please comment and let me know if you came by!

Day 13 - Do I Have To...

It was really hard today to talk myself into working out.  It's a chilly gray day, perfect for a nap! 

I did it though so as a reward, I am going to take a nap!  That's all I have to say for today. :)

I don't know about tomorrow, but yes eventually!

Day 12 - Oh My Arms

I can hardly type this my arms hurt so much today!  But like I said before it's all good cause if it hurts something is working.

I'm making this post short and sweet because I've got lots of things left to do and my day isn't getting any longer.

I do have to add that I took my 4th child today to get his driver's permit.... I wonder if a racing heart from teaching a teenage boy to drive burns extra calories??? Ok, I can dream!

Day 11 - Level 2 of The 30 Day Shred

I can't be dead because I'm typing this but wow, I forgot that this one was not, not, not easy!  But then again what about Jillian's workouts are???

Keeping is really real I would say the worst part of this workout was the high knees... not because they were too hard but because it was yucky having the top of my thigh slap the bottom of my flabby stomach! I know GROSS, right!!!

I'm definitely sweating more than I have in days!  I'm happy I decided to move up instead of dragging the 30 days out for 90 days.  I think of all the different exercises she does so I know by progressing and moving up a level all kinds of different parts of my body are getting stronger.  I know that because lots of my muscles are screaming at me to leave them alone; sort of like trying to wake up my kids for school, relentless is the name of the game!
