Day 17 - TGIF and day before weigh in

Day 17 and still plugging away at it... the workout is not getting boring yet... I'm still not an expert at it... but jeez, I'm getting sick of hearing the same "chit chat" over and over :S  Don't know the workout well enough to turn off the sound.. but it's quite tempting LOL

I'm happy it's Friday, it's been a challenging week.  First week officially on weight watchers and I had a two day course with lunch provided.  I also had many temptations, but I'm happy to report that I resisted the majority of them.... and those that I gave into.. I measured out and counted the points in my tracker.

I'm very nervous about the weigh in because I ate all my points every day (35) AND I ate almost all of my weekly flex points.  That's a lot more calories than I'd been letting myself have before..... I didn't eat any of my activity points.  I earned 26 points!  That's almost 2 points per day :)  Sweet!

Anyway... I'm still SUPER NERVOUS!  I really want to have a loss... it would suck if my first week was 0.2 loss or even a gain! *gasp* perish the thought!!!  Positive thoughts.  Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss

*must wear lightest pants I own*  hahaha

Stay tuned!

Day 15 and 16 - The Shred continues....

Still continuing the Shred challenge and really liking how it makes me feel.

Dare I jinx myself and claim that the workouts are starting to make me feel "Toit like a Toiger" or "tight like a Tiger" for those of you that haven't seen the Austin Powers movie Goldmember :P

So yeah, feeling tighter... stronger, less body parts jiggling like jell-O.  Don't get me wrong, the whole body still jiggles... but it feels like the jello-O is getting tighter from the inside... I know, not a great description, and might possibly make you queasy if you think about it too much :P

I'm also feeling less out of breath when I run.... mind you i'm not running fast lately, but the runs are starting to feel easier... MAN, what a difference from the beginning when Alex and I started running!  I remember not being able to run for more than a minute... and that minute felt really long!

Ahhh the bad old days... good times.... good times...

Day 12, 13 & 14 - Skipped 2 days!

Shred Day 12 was on Friday, Saturday was busy with outings & errands, Sunday I was sick, but Monday I did Day 13 and today I did Day 14.... Shred on sweet Shredder, Shred on!

Still not sure how the weight will pan out, but I have neat chart that shows how much my inches have dropped... which I will reveal after the 30 days are done...

Stay tuned!

Day 11 - Super Shreddie!

Ok, my titles are lame LOL

Anywho, it's day eleven, I'm still Shredding and I'm pretty positive about it....weight-wise, not sure there will be a benefit, but measurement-wise I bet there will be some measurable differences.  They differences may not be visible, but I took before pics, so we'll take a looksee at the end of the 30 days.... embarrassing photos, but people tell me it's great to look back and take stock of how much progress has been made.

Stay tuned folks!

Day 10 - Holy Shreddies Batman!

I can't believe I've lasted a whole 10 days!  20 days to go :D

I almost missed today's Shred because I wasn't feeling well last night and woke up a bit late this morning.... but I managed to get my Shred on after work today.  Yay-me

Day 9 - Shredding the apple!

I may gripe and moan about the lack of movement on the scale, but I'm thankful for the inches lost.  They aren't quite noticeable yet, but it's getting there.  I think by the time the 30 days roll by I will have made major strides forwards an actual core!  Woohoo!

It's exhausting working out everyday when you're not used to it.  I've been working out for over a year several times a week, but that was just running, no strength training or core exercise.  It was great to get my running in gear and to help maintain my weight, but it wasn't enough to help me loose.  Now with the 20 mins every morning that has a bit of cardio, strength training and core work I can build on that with my running and work my way towards some actual weight loss *fingers crossed*.

I had all the best intentions last week to re-add running, but it didn't happen.... i was wiped out.  So I'll add it back maybe this week, but absolutely for sure next week.

I am planning to go join weight watchers tomorrow night (if everything goes according to plan) so I'm excited about all the new information I'll be getting....it'll be like Christmas in weight watchers land!  I'm also gathering all the old WW stuff I have so that I can pack it up and send it to my parents.  They said they are interested in giving it a try.  At the very least it would help them with portion control and healthy eating.

Well I'm off... wiped out... that is me... and my back is sore... time to let my body get some rest.

Later Shreddies!

Day 7 and 8 - Shreddernutter

Still Shredding.... Shredded through the weekend and it looks like I'm down a few inches, but the scale isn't moving consistently in the right direction.... bleh... however, it's not going to stop me from completing my 30 day challenge.  I'm going to wait until the end of the 30 day challenge before I post any final numbers, measurements or even my before and after pics.. not that I think the pics will show much :P

Getting kind of sick of loosing during the week and gaining it back on the weekend just because I slept in and ate  majority of my points later in the day than a regular weekday.

It might require some creative sleeping arrangements on my part :P

Keep on keepin' on!
