Shredding It Away!

08/24/2010 198.4 (-1.8lbs)

Last week I challenged myself to do Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred.  Today is day 9.  I have kept up with it every day this past week with the exception of yesterday.  I had kickboxing and it is very shred like. We did cardio, we did strength moves, and we did abs.  It’s a killer [...]

Time to Make the Change Happen

First things first.  My weigh in for the PlusSizeBloggers Challenge.  This week I am back down -2.0 lbs.  I still don’t have my new phone/camera yet. I’ll have ti later today actually so no pic. I know I am not going to hit the 15 pounds I originally wanted, but that’s ok. I have a [...]

Whew! Weigh In Time – Becoming the Ultimate Me!

202.2 lbs (-3 lbs)

Ok, I put a ton of stress on myself this week due to last weeks horrible weigh in.  I know I should be such a slave to the scale, but I can’t help it.  There are number goals involved, and I am so close to the next one, and it keeps jumping just out of [...]

Kicking Off the Summer 15 Challenge!

204.1 on 6/15/2010

Wow, what a horrid weekend.  I was nothing but LAZY!  I also ate way too much.   I don’t really know what happened.  I had some of my planned workout day screwed up, because I forgot about a tennis lesson on Wednesday and it threw the rest of the week into oblivion. Then instead of being [...]

Today is day 28, but the 30 day challenge had 20 workouts in it, and today I completed the LAST one!  What a fantastic feeling of finishing something!  I did it!!! It was a well rounded workout…it had a little bit of EVERYTHING in it.  The only thing that gave me issues were the jump [...]

Today, I played tennis in the morning for 2 hours.  It was probably my best day ever.  Too bad the points didn’t count towards my league total.  hehe  That’s ok.  It was great and the lessons I take every other Wednesday are paying off with my game.  I’ll be playing 4 times a week in [...]

Day 26 of 30 Day Challenge

It’s Mother’s Day, and I am still recovering a little from being under the weather yesterday. I was determined to get my workout fit in today though. It was pretty easy. It had a nice variety of lunges, high knee reverse lunges. I could have done without the jump lunges or the jump squats, but [...]

Day 24 of 30 Day Challenge

Today’s workout was much lighter than yesterdays!  The focus was on the upper body with a couple sets of simple side to side lunges and reverse high knee lunges.  Not bad at all.  No running, no jumping.  My legs are soooo sore from the workout.  I intended on going to the club to at least [...]
