Today's Activities: 30Day Shred= 20mins

I can not even begin to tell you how excited I am that today is Day 29!!!!! I have ONE.....yes ONE day left of my 30 days of working out with the 30 Day Shred!!!! I am SO SO SO excited to not only see my results for this last 10 days, but for the whole over all of my results! I can't believe I was able to push myself this much and to stick with it for this long. I am loving how I am looking again and how I am feeling about myself......I'm sure my meds kicking in is helping a bit too...lol... :-D I have been able to get rid of a lot of my clothing because they don't fit me anymore and dig in the back of my closet for more and more of my 'skinny' clothes......and quite frankly that feels just AMAZING!!!! :-D And Hubby is complimenting me more and MORE all the time...... :-D
So hopefully I'll be posting back on here tomorrow with pics and measurements!!!! :-D

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20 mins

BUSY BUSY BUSY

That's what the title of this post should be today.....ugh.....I have had SO much to do today. Not much really done.....well, that's not true......I did a load of laundry (just wish it had been more, I'll do another before bed), drove out our rent check, went to the mall with Hubby & babies.....Hubby got me a new shirt (on clerance ba-be!) cuz he's so proud of how much I've been doing with my weight loss.....then I drove out to Yelm and took a look at Mom's property for her....that took a while. And everything is taking longer today cuz I'm dragging my feet cuz I'm just so tired still from this weekend lol and I really just didn't sleep very well last night at all.....then of course I picked up the house some, just not as much as I need to still do or wanted to get done today, and I made dinner......but I totally cheated with that and made ramen noodles! hahaha I had a Progresso soup that was 0 pts Yummy!
I can't believe how close I am to finishing my 30 days! :-) I keep going back and forth if I want to keep going farther than the 30 days or not......I really really am tired of being so sore all the time and of getting my butt kicked everytime I do a workout.....I find myself wanting to try and talk myself out of my workout, and that's not good. lol So I keep thinking about it all. We'll see what happens. I keep remembering that no matter what I decide....that I can keep doing it, or I can always come back and do it more later.....or as my sister suggested.....I could do this workout 3 times a week and other workouts the other days.....which I really like that idea too. :-) So we'll see how I feel about it in a couple days when the time comes to decide. :-D

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20 mins


We all went to the park today.....it's starting to get a little cold outside so I'm glad that we decided that to go play outside. After the park though, the Clark's needed to stop by the store before we headed home so they stopped there and we headed home.....so I ran inside and changed so that I could do my workout. lol Tommy got the kids busy so that I could do it.....it was very sweet. :-D They are leaving tomorrw, but it's also a busy day on top of that so we'll see how it ends up playing out.....besides the fact that I am also really REALLY tired. :-D lol

{Day 26}

Morning Weight: 148!!!!
Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

We have some friends visiting for the weeked......we are really excited to have them over!!! I still got up thids morning even though I REALLY didn't want to get up and did my workout. I'm going to do my best to keep getting up in the morings to do my workout. I know that if I don't get up in the morning that I won't do it during the day or in the evenings......and we end up staying up pretty late visiting and hanging out.....so getting up earlier than everyone else is kinda hard.....but really really worth it. I am SOOOOOO excited that I lost TEN PUNDS this month!!! I really can't believe it!!!!! And I am very very excited to not only see how many inches that I've lost this 10Days BUT for these 30Day total! :-D My posts will prolly be short while our friends are here :-D

{Day 25}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

Man! Slept really hard when I finally fell sleep last night.....I took those meds that I got for that....but then I woke up really REALLY early and couldn't fall back to sleep!!! That was pretty lame! So I fought pretty hard to make myself workout this morning cuz I'm just sleepy. I'm tired and sleepy but can't fall back to sleep.....it's like my brain just doesn't want to turn off and let me sleep. Oh well.....I guess I'll talk to the DR next time I see her. lol So I'm off to start my lovely day of more and more cleaning lol......which would be the life of a mom lol :-D Yes! I love my life! :-D I really do! :-D
I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the gift of teaching these children. :-)

{Day 24}

Morning Weight: 150!!!
Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

Really Really didn't want to get up and workout this morning......BUT since I was feeling a little better than the last couple days I got up and did my workout. I was definatley rewarded when I stepped on the scale before my shower during naptime and saw 150!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!! :-D SOOOO CLOSE! :-D

I've really been thinking about the whole 30Day Shred thing.....each Level has 2 levels in it so like Level1 has Level1a and Level1b.....so I did the first 10 days on Level1a and the second 10 dats on Level1b.....so now I'm on my third set of 10 days and I made myself start Level2.....that was really hard for me to do. LOL I'm doing the 'a' part.....and it's really kicking my butt.....so I'm thinking that I'm going to keep doing it for this 10 days and that I'll do another 10 days on the Level 2b.......I haven't seen the Level 3.....I use the OnDemand and the Level 3 isn't on there, so I'm going to order it from Netflix and take a look from there......I dont' know if I want to do it yet lol I think a lot will have to do with how far I get with my results after I finish Level 2. :-D
I'm doing really great.....I honestly just don't like feeling like I'm getting my butt kicked every single day lol AND I'm SO close to my goals it feels amazing......I'm telling you loosing the inches is making all the difference in how I'm feeling about myself right now. :-D

{Day 23}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20 mins

Well, today I was going to get up and workout......but once again I am having a very difficult time getting to sleep at night. I was doing okay at night since I was getting up so early in the mornings, but for some reason I'm not again. Hubby forgot to pick up my meds this morning so I don't even have that to try tonight.....shrugs.....I'm not upset with that....I'm just frustrated that I'm tired but not sleepy. So I did actually get up this morning at a little before 7.....all was quiet and still in our house......only to find one of my children had gotten up earlier and fallen back to sleep on our couch in the livingroom.....well that was just no good.....how was I going to do my workout in the livingroom while a child was sleeping on the couch? I wasn't.....because he would have woken up! So I figured I'd just crawl my tired butt back into that warm bed and fall back to sleep.....and I did just that.....till one of the kids that that it was 'morning time' and I needed to get up and turn on the PS3 for him......OF COURSE that's MY job! UGH! Then Hubby came home.....it's like I just can't get a break......how come I can't ever sleep in or get '30 mroe mins' ??? oh well.....there's my gripe for the year I guess......
SOOooooo.......at naptime.......I was pretty busy cleaning all sorts of things.....it being saturday and all.....we have one doing 'extra' chores this weekend.....and that's always fun....especially when Hubby has to work this weekend so he's not awake to help me keep an eye to make sure that these extra chores are getting done and getting done the right way. Fun times. Yeah so needless to say that I didn't workout during naptime.
I honestly really didn't want to workout today......I kept telling myself that I didn't want to......and I wasn't making any effort to do it either......and then I was getting ready for bed even.....all my meds.....pjs....kids comfy.....kitchen & living room picked up.....doors checked for locked (even though I know they are locked because they are always locked)......remote in hand to turn off tv.......and all of a sudden I'm hitting the stinking button for the OnDemand instead of the power......WHAT AM I DOING!!!!!! So I sigh and turn around and throw on my sports bra since I had brought it down this morning and never put it on or brought it back upstairs.........yupp it just kinda happened......but that's how things work out sometimes......and even though I still didn't want to workout today, and I still feel like crap......I know that it will help me workout tomorrow and the next day.....and it'll help me get better results on that Day 30 when I finally reach it......and I am going to LOVE that! No matter how much I hate getting my butt kicked right now.......and no matter how crappy I'm feeling right now.....I know that I'll start to feel better at some point.....the DRs will find out what's wrong with me and we will figure out how to deal with it. So yah.....that's my 'I feel like crap and didn't mean to workout but did very long story'......hope you enjoyed it......lol Night ya'll!

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20 mins



SOOOOO......Today I got up pretty early and lol didn't even workout....so while I was at the hospital for one of my appts....I smelled the coffee stand and it drew me in.....I knew this wasn't a good idea.....but I thought since I was SO tired that I would try a soy mocha and see what would happen.....it had been quite a while since I'd had coffee.....ummm yah.....NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! So this afternoon I was still tired, not feeling well and REALLY REALLY didn't want to workout. lol Honestly the thought of a 20min workout didn't even get me off my but I just wanted to sleep. lol Usually I can make myself do it cuz it's not too long. lol But today I seriously almost didn't do it. What happened though was that I had to go upstairs to use the bathroom, and I was like 'fine, I'll just change and do it' lol and I did.....and I'm still tired and I still don't feel well.....but I did my workout.....and that feels good. :-D

Morning Weight: 152!!!
Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

My alarm was set for 6 this morning.....I let the snooze go off once....I've always had a problem getting up in the mornings when I don't actually have a 'reason' to be making me get out of bed. lol And it gets MUCH worse when it's dark or getting dark outside......but I was doing okay this morning. I went to bed pretty early for me last night and slept 'okay'......BUT......there's always a BUT in my life.....Theron....decided that it was 'morning time' when I tried sneeking out of the room. UGH!!!
I did however make it downstairs to workout finally. I tried the Level 2 and it honestly wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It was a good workout! I followed the 'lower level' of it. I don't think I can do the full thing yet, but I can do a little more tomorrow for sure. :-D
And the ABS in this are awesome! I'll have to pay attention to my back for a litttle bit, but I'm sure it'll get stronger like with the last level too. :-D
Tomorrow is another LONG, FULL day.....SO I don't know when I'll be blogging, but I'll do my best to get on here. :-)

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20 mins

I hate it when I get into a funk that it effects if I'm working out or not. I've been feeling great about how I'm looking and how well I'm doing....but still not feeling well emotionally. I did do my workout today though. I am excited about being able to be my measurments. :-)

{Day 18}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

It's been a hectic day.....I did get up early this morning.....without my alarm and did my workout. But I'm just exhausted, so I don't know if I'll be back or not to blog later. I will try though.
DRs appts went interesting.....ended up well, but went interesting. lol

{Day 17}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

I'm getting closer to my Day20 pictures! And I am getting so excited to actually SEE the difference!! :-D I haven't actually DONE my workout as I type this, but I'm doing it RIGHT after I type it. lol I have two DR appt this morning so I had to get up early to be able to fit in my workout today. I can't do it during naptime cuz I dont' know if I'll even be home before it's over, and if it is I have to run and get diapers while Ace is still sleeping lol otherwise I have to bring two kids with me to the store. And you know me....I love to bring as few kids with me to the store as possible whenever I can. lol I slept 'okay' last night....when I slept.....it was really difficult to fall asleep, and I woke up around 3:30-4:00ish and couldn't really fall back to sleep....so I ended up getting up about 6:15 cuz I heard someone's music outside....that was pretty annoying to say the least. But I'm up and I've gotten some fun stuff done online, and I'm getting ready to do my workout and get primped for the day. :-D
Ps-I'll check in if there's much to tell after the DRs :-)

{Day 16}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

Today was a long day.....it was our first Monday back at school. Ummm yah....that's all I have to say about that. lol
It is fair time.....Mondays are Military days so Hubby and I decided to take the two younger ones while the two older ones were at school. We had a blast.....I will blog more about that on our family blog.....we got some great pics too. :-)
Well Hubby wanted to go get pizza for dinner and since I was a smartie and had a viggie subway for lunch I was okay with it.....I wasn't able to do my workout durning naptime cuz we choose to go to the fair unexpectantly instead.....so I made sure that I did my workout while he ran and got pizza lol.....it's a good thing it's a quick workout. ALTHOUGH.....I'm not looking forward to doing it again so early in the morning! UGH!

Luvs! <3

{Day 15}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

FINALLY!!!

There's lots going on here.....and I'm still not feeling too spunky to say the least.....BUT I cut coffee completely out of my diet.....I know I know.....I've been trying to do that for a LONG LONG time.....but I just haven't been able to completely do it.....WELL.....when I was talking to my seester she said that when she has too much coffee and not enough sleep that that happens to her. So I made myself not drink ANY, and also made my slef take it really easy with naps and all....and it's starting to calm down quite a bit. Enough that I felt that I would be okay enough to workout tonight. Maybe a lot of it is that I've been doing so well with my workouts and the results that I've been getting that I really don't want to loose that momentum. :-) And I'm okay with that for now. :-D
I am thinking of trying to use my 5lb weights for the third 10day part. I'm not quite ready to try the level 2 video yet. I'll make myself after the 30 days are up.....but not yet....lol.

{Day 14}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

Man! I thought I would blog this morning shortly after I did my workout so that I wasn't tempted to put it off tonight. lol Or forget all together and end up doing cetchup in a few days lol
So I'm loving the results of working out, but for some reason I'm just not loving working out latley......lol.....I know I know.....and that's actually really weird for me because I usually really love to workout. I'm sure its what I've choosen to do for now. I mean seriously! I'm kicking my butt every day in only 20mins AND seeing results! And on top of that I'm tired, and emotionally drained. So yeah, I'm not enjoying working out as much as I used to. lol I'm okay with that for now. lol I am seriously sore all the time! lol But I am in love with the results that I am finally starting to see. And some of them I know what been there a little bit before and I was too emotionally tied up to see it, but also now it's a bigger change....and that I'm liking lol

I slept horrible last night.. I don't know if it was just last night or what. I was so tired in the evening, but not able to fall asleep....and then was tossing and turning all night. I even woke up around three and had such a hard time falling back to sleep....only to have a four year old wake me up right as I was falling asleep. lol I have definately had sleeping problems off and on though in the past so this is nothing new to me. I was pretty proud that I still got up when my alarm went off and did my work out. :-D

{Day 13}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

UGH!
Okay well I was really really tired last night again....I was falling asleep on the couch at 8:30! But I had to get some things done before I went to bed, so I got those done and even then I was completely passed out before 10:30 which is unheard of for me. lol But I knew my alarm was set for 6:30 so that I could get up and make breakfast for the boys for their first day of school.
SOOO I woke up at 5:30 cuz I had to use the bathroom really bad....I HATE THAT!!! And I tried to go back to sleep, but at 6 I gave up.....I know myself and even if I had fallen asleep.....it wouldn't have turned out good after that with my alarm set for 6:30.....so I got up. It took a little bit to actually wake up some, but I decided to do my workout.....and I LOVED getting it out of the way this morning. I was exhasted all day cuz I was up so early....which equals a cranky mama....so it will take some adjusting....we'll see what I can do. The worst part is that I'm SO worried about waking up the boys! We'll see.....it's never really worked in the past....at least not for too long. lol :-) But today....this morning anyway....it felt great! :-D

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

I have definately noticed that I haven't wanted to workout lately....or really felt like blogging either. But I have been working out....even if I get a little behind on my blogging....I'm still here. I have also started noticing a difference in my clothes which is really great. My shirts are fitting me differently and pants that we skin tight on me a few months ago are now barely fitting me in a good way. lol But tired and worn out is how I'm feeling alot lately....and I'm pretty sure it has to do more with emotional than anything.....I'm working on that too though....



Luvs! <3

{Day 11}

Today's Activities: 30Day Shred=20mins

SO! I REALLY didn't want to workout this afternoon. I didn't feel well yesterday or last night....a little emotional, but more my stomach just wasn't settling....so truely I just didn't want to work out. I was very happy with my results with the first 10 days and I really do want results the next 10 days....I just don't feel well.
BUT I DID IT ANYWAY! Yay Me! lol I definately decided that if I want results like I had for the first 10 days that I would have to kick it up a notch. So on the level 1 video there are actually two levels lol odd huh, but there are.....so I was doing the easier level and it was kicking my butt! lol And I figured that if I felt like I was going to die on Day 1 that I should probably feel like I'm going to die on Day 11....so I was doing the harder level on the level 1 video and I really felt like I was going to die.....on Day 11!!! As much I really hope I don't cry tomorrow like I did on Day 2 & 3....I do hope that I keep pushing myself so that when I reach Day 20 I get amazing results and I am just as proud of myself as I was yesterday.....and even today as I continue. I definately rewarded myself with an amazing fruit smoothie after my workout today. :-D


Happy Shredding!
