Dear Body, Why must you fail me on the day BEFORE weigh-in? I had plans of exercising TWICE today- once with shredding and then another 30 minutes cardio. You have been great to me during ALL the pounding from shredding- the jumping, the lunging, the planking, the squat jumping- all of it. You … [Read more…]

Today was Shred Day Whatever. I don’t even know what Day today was. My heart just wasn’t into it today. I am ready to take a break from shredding.

Just a quick pop-in. Did Shredding Day 14 this morning. Better than yesterday. Still hurts like a mother-trucker. My quads are sore, sore, sore and it hurts to go up and down the stairs.

Today, I thought I was going to die. Or at least lay down on the floor and go to sleep. For me, today (Day 13, I think) was the most difficult day. My muscles are sore and tired. My body is tired. My eyes are tired. I slept 8-9 hours last night. But I am physically exhausted. What didn’t help … [Read more…]
A size 16 at one place might not be the same at a different place. You go to one clothing store only to HAVE to squeeze in the 16’s, but then you trot to the next clothing store only to be a Size 14. It can make shopping for yourself a living hell, especially when you have no desire to be a 16 and … [Read more…]
