It's actually working!

Ya'll. The 30 Day Shred is actually working. No, I don't know how much (if any) weight I've actually lost, but...

...I can run up a slope of my yard without huffing and puffing and feeling like I'm going to die!

So for all of ya'll out there that are wondering...it works! I was inspired before to do this DVD, but now that I have experienced the results, I am doubly excited to see this through! Yay!

Oh, why was I running up the slope? My brother came over yesterday to help me plant trees. He wanted to do the actual planting, but first we had to dig holes. Boy, wish I knew how he could dig a hole. I would have recruited him last week. :)

Thanks again, bro.


Anyway...I was running up to the faucet to get some water for one of the trees. I noticed that the effort wasn't much of a strain and I wasn't even breathing hard! Yay for me!

So, don't give up "Getting Shredded" ladies.


Until next time...

14/52 photos of me

Well, it's that time again. Carin from Forever in Blue Jeans has issued the challenge. I've accepted. Here's my picture:


*sigh* Sad, I know. I've been pretty busy this week and Thursday was here before I knew it. I had to sneak in a pic with my sleeping baby. Well, at least it's adorable. He is. Not me.

Can you tell I'm aching? My muscles are screaming at me. I'd rather they give me the silent treatment. I'm hurting in places I'd forgotten I had muscles. Just so you know, the last time I was in good shape was back in the Air Force. That was in the last decade. Hey, for that matter, that was in the last century! 1995-1997 to be exact. So, I've got a lot of time to make up for.

But, thanks for all the encouragement from you other suckers out there. :) You know what I mean. Honestly, who in their right, ever-lovin' mind would voluntarily let someone bully them into inflicting pain upon themself? Yeah, me. Well, at least I get to kick myself in the butt and not let someone else do it. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go watch this, this, and this. And that's just level one. Yeah, I thought so, too. No, actually, I have no idea what you're thinking. Duh!

Can you tell I'm in a mood? Ok. Well, I'm stopping now. Sheesh!

So, to see some more moms who are usually hiding out behind the camera, go visit Carin.


Until next time...

30 Day Shred that everyone loves - NOT!!!

So. I've succumbed. Yep, that's right folks. I have invested in *gasp* the 30 Day Shred. Oh, yeah, you read that right. Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. 'Shred' is right. I feel like every muscle in my body has been shredded. I'm on day 2. I'll be sure and update ya'll - if I can still function, that is.

Until next time...(if I live thru it)
