Okay, all of you shredders (you ARE still shredding, aren’t you?) and work out peeps, listen up! You have the exercising part down pat now, but do you have the nutrition part figured out? When someone says to me, “oh, you can’t have this cupcake because you’re on a DIET,” or “what diet are you … [Read more…]
So yesterday, I felt like a fumbling, stumbling mess on day 1 of level 2. I should have previewed it like Lisa did! Today was much better because I didn’t feel like I had to stop to keep checking if I was doing to moves right. Here are my thoughts from today! I was not as sore as I hoped to be this … [Read more…]
OMG. I just finished my first day in Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred. I am literally dripping with sweat. First off, I want to ask those of you who are shredding… the last two days I have been having lower back pain and on the left side it goes down into my ass. Not my “soreness” from working my … [Read more…]
I finished Day 10 of Shredding earlier today, Phase 1. I seem to think about shredding all day long, way before I actually DO IT and long way after it’s DONE. I am starting Phase 2 of the Shred tomorrow morning. I have a few thoughts on Phase 1, as well as Phase 2 running incessantly through my … [Read more…]
1. I’m still shredding. This should be Day 8. 2. I only did about 1/3 of the program on Friday and skipped Saturday. Now I don’t know what I should do… call today Day 1, Day 6, or Day 8???? 3. I did awesome with my eating last week. Until Friday. I was actually down a few pounds, now I am deathly … [Read more…]
For about ten seconds after my alarm went off at 5:10 this morning, I was wondering who in the world set my alarm to go off that early. Oh, yeah. I did. Why? Oh, yeah. I was told yesterday, “everyday is a work out day now.” To the one who told me that, um, thanks. But she’s right. Thursdays … [Read more…]
My goodness, I don’t know where too start. Yesterday after the first day, I had so much energy it was insane. I loved it. I also found it necessary to keep moving so my muscles wouldn’t burn. Yes, they were burning like a calf getting branded. Ouch. So this morning when I got up, I was actuallly … [Read more…]
Let’s just hope it continues beyond Day One. ;o) I did the usual gym-thing after taking the twins to school this morning. I did 30 minutes on the Precor AMT and 30 minutes on the Precor EFX for a total of 4.6 miles. Not too shabby since I was doing the hill workouts! I decided to forego the weight … [Read more…]
Monday, April 6th, marks the first of the 30 day Shred Challenge. What does this mean for you? Lots of sweat, sore legs, burning arms, sore abs and maybe even some tears. And no, I’m not trying to scare you, I’m just telling you what to expect. But I want to tell you what else to expect. (I … [Read more…]

It’s hard to believe that a little blue fish is helping to motivate me to get off my duff and do some hard core exercise today, but she is because what she says is so right on. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming… Yesterday I shredded for the first time and it was really, really, really hard. … [Read more…]
Seems like everywhere I click on the internet these days, I am hearing tidbits about Jillian’s 30 Day Shred. I actually broke down and ordered a copy the other day, as well as a copy to give away to a lucky person in the future. Here is a summary of the DVD: Jillian Michaels, winning trainer on … [Read more…]
I am having real problems getting to the gym, not because I don’t want to go- I actually do want to go exercise. The problem lies is the WHEN to go. Between the baby’s naps and mealtimes for all 3 kids, let alone the taxiing of said children to various places, there just seems NOT to be enough … [Read more…]
