I ran across a blog that talked about Jillian Michael's 30Day Shred dvds.....I was quite intrigued by the results and the pictures that they posted. So I've gathered some info and some plotting....and some reinforcements. lol I found out that Comcast offers this workout in the OnDemand section....so I'm going to start mine this way....and I am actually not going to do my normal Rest Day for these 30 days. Jeanette, Serena, and Amanda are all going to be taking this journy with me. I am very excited about this. :-) They are ordering the dvd from Netflix...and hopefully wiil be starting in the next week or so.
I realized the other day that my bday is coming up here quickly...and that I'm actually going to be 30....yikes! I would really like to loose some of this weight by my bday.
I am going to take front & back photos of me, and take my measurement & weight. I will be posting these. I will post pics on day 10 so that there is something to compare to.
I am excited and scare all at the same time. lol

{Mark & Wendy's BBQ}
Morning Weight: 164
Today's Activities:
We have been invited to a BBQ. It's a some people's that work with Tommy. I am saving up my points because I know that there will be lots of food there that I prolly shouldn't be eating. lol So I'm going to try and be somewhat good about it. There is going to be a slip & slide and I'm sure the kids will have a blast. :-)

{FIx-It Guy}
Morning Weight: 164
Today's Activities:
Well today was a little more hectic than I would have liked....lol...Someone was coming to look at the dishwasher....I was told morning, but as the afternoon started creeping up I was wondering if I'd get my workout in. I put Ace down for his nap....and still waited....I didn't want to start before he got here, cuz I didn't want to stop in the middle or answer the door all sweaty in my workout clothes. I also didn't know a time that he would be here. I hate that. By the time he got here, looked at the dishwasher....just to tell me that nothing is wrong with it...it's just a cheap dishwasher.....it was almost time for Ace to wake up from his nap. UGH
Tommy did get up and let me go to the grocery store without the kids, so that was really nice. I have some more things to get from a different store still, but I can do that tomorrow. Most of the time if I'm not able to workout during naptime I don't usually workout. For the most part I really don't like to workout in the evenings. I am tired and stressed and just want to zone out....honestly....evenings just aren't my best time of day. But also....with four boys home with me all day...nap time is the best time to do errands because I can lay Ace down for his nap, the two older boys are old enough to be home while Tommy is sleeping, and then I only have to take Theron....although with him being 4 is still really stressful to navigate the stores with him. lol Yes....my life is hectic and busy at this stage...

{Running VS Speed Walking}
Morning Weight: 164
Today's Activities: 1/2 mile 10mins, before weights
Well, I can definately tell that I use different muscles to run than I do to speed walk....lol. I talked to Tommy a little bit about what happened with my leg...he had a couple ideas, but didn't really know what was going on. Even with what happened yesterday I am still going to try to do some intervals on the treadmill today. :-D I'm looking forward to setting some goals for on the treadmill....and seeing them be accomplished. :-D
The boys really didn't want to give me any time to workout this afternoon, and by evening I was just too tired to do something.

{Tingling Toes....Prolly NOT a Good Thing}
Morning Weight: PMS Weight
Today's Activities: 45mins=3miles on treadmill, before & after weights
Today I am feeling a little better.....more that I'm looking on the brighter side of things. Seeing where I am and just trying to do better. Every choice is still a choice, and ideally I'd like to make good choices. :-) So I have been playing with the idea of running on my treadmill...that was one reason I wanted to get one in the first place. I have to say though that I have NEVER been a runner....I mean seriously even in high school I would walk around the track once in 20mins...and say I did a mile. Nice huh. It's the whole breathing thing.....I don't really know how to pay attention to it...my nose starts burning...my lungs start burning...I start breathing too fast and then before I know it I'm having an asthma attack. So needless to say that running I just put in my catagory of 'I can't do'.
So my running experieince today.....I was doing intervals...running for a short time, and then walking...and going back and forth. I was actually doing pretty good (for me)...I was paying attention to my breathing, making sure I was keeping it steady...and then my toes in my right foot started tingling...and everytime I did the running part the tingling was going up farther and farther on my leg. SOOO I stopped doing the running....and stayed with a nice brisk walk. The tingling has gone away, but I'm going to talk to Tommy and see what he says about it.

{Batteries}
Morning Weight: PMS Weight
Today's Activities: 21mins=1Mile on treadmill, before weights
I finally remembered to put batteries in my treadmill BEFORE I started on it. lol Well, I do know that knowing this information will be good in the long run....no pun intended lol....BUT for me...today...the information that it gave me set me back emotionally...and I ended up having a really icky day. I made some really bad food choices because of my emotions...one thing I hate is that I know at the time that I'm doing it that it's an emotional choice, and I still do it. *shakes head*
That's about all I can say about it right now. We'll see how tomorrow goes....hopefully better....and I can set some goals. :-D

{Over a week....}
Morning Weight: PMS Weight
Today's Activities: 1hr on treadmill, before & after weights
It's been a while since I've been posting regular...I didn't do any 'actual' workouts this week but I was definately moving my behind around ALOT! lol I haven't been feeling well AND I have the joy of being a woman with me right now...which doesn't help me AT ALL in the workout part, the making good food choices part...or the emotional part. I did get on the treadmill tonight though even with not really wanting to. And it felt great! Tommy didn't workout with me, but he was in there for about 45mins of it just talking to me and goofing off. It was nice. I tend to feel guilty if I spend time working out instead of spending time with him when I have the chance to spend time with him. Especially after his weekend working...those weekends that he works is really hard on us, cuz it feels like I don't see him at all....and I miss him. :-) That's okay though... :-) Overall it was a big step for me. :-)
