I missed True Confessions last week…where was I? Probably shredding! Anyway, here are my true confessions, boring as they may be.
Last week, I had horrible snack munchi cravings in the evenings. I gave in almost every night to those cravings. Except for last night. I ate dinner at 5:30pm and then only had an orange in the evening.
I […]

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. I sweated like a mother-trucker. My arms hurt. My legs hurt. My abs hurt. Thank you Jillian. I’ll be turning you on (AGAIN) in a mere 12 hours.
Yippee.

I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Comfort Foods Diet cookbook. It’s an awesome cookbook, and this recipe is the BOMB! Seriously, who knew lasagna could be healthy, and if it’s healthy, it certainly won’t taste good, right? WRONG!! Trust me on this one. My son (5) and daughter (17 months) gobbled it […]

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 matters was having […]

As I was browsing the food aisles, I spotted Smartfood popcorn clusters. The chocolate cookie caramel pecan variety had me at hello. Seriously. These are SO GOOD. One little bag can definitely satisfy my sweet tooth. It tastes so, so, naughty… but the nutritional info speaks for itself! One package contains: Calories: 120 Fat: 2 g Sodium: 75 mg
Total […]

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 […]

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 […]

Did you know that exercise can reduce stress? Okay, I am sure we all HEAR that, but how many of us actually follow that advice? This is a subject that hits close to home with me, and I often find myself slacking on the exercise when I am stressed the most! And I KNOW I […]

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 […]

I’m putting it out there for the whole wide world to see. If I ever find myself faltering at this weight loss/healthy lifestyle thing, then I will pull out these pictures and remind myself of why I am doing this. These pictures- they are my motivation.
The first picture in each set was taken Day 1 […]

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 […]
