Day 38 - Week 2 of Ripped in 30

I won't lie I put off working out today because I was scared of what was coming.  I didn't get to it until 7:30 tonight.  I psyched myself up though and got after it. 

It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, that said it wasn't easy and some of things just felt awkward.  I'm thinking if anything hurts in the morning it will be my booty and my inner thighs. 

I found her humor refreshing this go round.

Day 37 - Double Take

I'm making this short and sweet cause I have to take myself to bed.  :)  It was a good day.  I got my last workout of Week 1 of Ripped in 30 done!  And another great part, I past by a mirror and did that double take... I finally noticed.  Not by the way of standing in the mirror staring but by that quick look and by noticing my jeans didn't just feel bigger they looked baggy!

Day 36 - All Smiles Sort Of

I took my one day yesterday and went walking and I'm back on Ripped in 30 today.   I'm smiling because while I would never ever say a Jillian Michaels's workout was easy, I know I'm getting stronger because it was easier.  Tomorrow will be my last day of week 1.  I doubt if I will be smiling come Wednesday when I start week 2.

Like I've said before if you come by leave me a comment or something... gosh I feel like I'm talking to myself!

Day 35 - Strolling Along

I took the day off of the Ripped in 30 workout and wow I feel lost.  I did take a 3 mile walk but I look forward to getting back at it again tomorrow. :)

34 - Worn Out

Today I hit the floor running...  I had to get my daughter to a fundraiser car wash.  She made me stay for quite awhile.  She is so shy so I stood there a for over an hour.  (Side note - Jillian says standing instead of sitting burns 50 more calories an hour. BONUS!)   Then a friend came up and we had lunch.  Go home pick up another kid go to get his hair cut.  Then home to clean the castle because we are having family over tomorrow... his family.  Then my mom came over and we went garage saling...  Home again a little more cleaning.  And after all that... yes I met up with Jillian!  :)

I was planning to take Tuesday as my day off that Jillian recommends but it may be tomorrow.  I have so much going on.  If I do take a day off from Ripped in 30 tomorrow I will go on a three mile walk regardless.  I can do that after everyone leaves.

I'm talking to myself here but oh well.

Day 32 & 33 - I'm Feeling This

I missed posting yesterday as I got my workout in a bit late and had to hurry shower and get pretty before my husband came home to take me out.  Every so often he gets to bring home a cool car from work and we got to go joy riding in a Plymouth Prowler! :)

I'm loving that Ripped in 30 has some of the same moves as 30 Day Shred but I'm really loving that this one is working the backs of my arms, the backs of my legs, and the booty.

On another note... since Easter, even though I have fit it into my daily calories, I have been eating candy and junk and oh I can feel the difference!  I never really believed in eating super healthy before but I'm believing in eating better now.  I'm especially going to slow down on the carbs.  OMG if I didn't want my kids to eat all this candy and stuff they would have already wolfed it down, what's wrong with them?

Day 31 - Day 1 of Ripped in 30

I have to say starting the Ripped in 30 DVD I was scared to say the least.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but if I had not done the 30 Day Shred first, I might be telling a different tale.

I like that she addresses the back of the arms in this one.. Lord knows I need that for sure!  It felt like it went by kind of slow but hey it is week one!  And slow or not I'm sweating like crazy and I don't sweat easily.

Jillian recommends that you take one or two days off per week while doing this... so I will take off Tuesdays and go walking and then start the new week on Wednesdays.
