Days thirteen and fourteen...

The past two days have been tough. I haven't given my all. The other ladies who are doing it are all on level two, so maybe I will move to level two today. Who knows.

Day eleven and twelve, plus a weigh in...

Oops, I guess I forgot to post the last two days! That doesn't mean I haven't been doing The Shred though.

Day eleven was tough. Day twelve was tough. The difference between the two days is that on day eleven I didn't know if doing this had made any difference or not. On day twelve I knew it had! What do I mean you ask? Well thanks for asking, I will tell you.

I lost 3 1/4 pounds! I was so excited! I would have been so upset had I not lost anything. Knowing that what I am doing is making a difference was so great, I didn't even make any threats to Jillian last night! (I usually yell at her during the entire work out. Yes I realize it is a tv, but you would be yelling too if you were doing it)

Thanks for all of your prayers. Please continue to pray that I will continue on with this. God is really teaching me some things right now. I plan to tell you all about that soon.

3 1/4 pounds!!! Sorry, I thought it was worth mentioning twice. :)

Day nine part II...

Well day nine is over. I was telling my accountability ladies that the hardest part of the shred is the first circuit. Once that is over it goes pretty fast. Not to say it isn't a hard work out though.

I am pretty nervous about my weigh in on Sunday. I mean what if I haven't lost weight? How will that effect my emotions, my drive to do the shred?

Trying not to think of it though because tomorrow we are celebrating Ian's 3rd birthday! The actual birthday isn't until later this month, but tomorrow was the best time for us to celebrate due to all of his friends having September birthdays.

Day eight part II...

Well after two days of being sick and one day of going to the hospital for an out patient procedure, I am back to doing the shred! Since I missed some days I will just call them Day ___ part II.

It was tough coming back to it today. It would have been very easy to just not do it. But since I have my accountability girls doing it I knew I had to stick with it. I am so glad we are doing this challenge. I am also glad that the 3 other ladies don't live near by because it would be much easier to talk each other out of it. I'm not sure why I think that, but I do.

So here is to continuing on! See you on the other side!

Day nine...

Yesterday (what would have been day nine of my work out) was horrible. I was SO sick, worse than Monday. I am just so glad to have a wonderful husband who was willing to take care of me and the kids during that time.

Today I am feeling SO much better! I am still going to try to take it easy because I can already tell that if I do too much my headache will come back. I am planning on doing the shred tonight if Justin will let me. I hope to get back on track soon!

Day eight...

Well I am sorry to say that today I wasn't able to do The Shred. :( I have been having really bad lower back pain the last few days so today when I started running a fever I headed to the doctor. I am hoping that tomorrow I will be back to doing the shred and maybe I will even catch up one of these days and do it twice in a day. I am so sad that I could not do it today. So blessed though that I live in a place where I was able to go to the doctor and be seen right away.

Also, I am SO blessed by my husband who is taking care of me. He went to the store to get my medicine and has been rubbing my back and legs all night. He even got me a bowl of soup for dinner. I sure do love that man!

Day Seven...

Today was good. I got to take a nap with out having to wake up and go to my First Place 4 Health. Not that I don't like going to it because I do, I have just missed my Sunday naps! So I got rest then I got to go and have a little bit of time with one of my best friends Misti. Even though she had already eaten she came with me to McAlester's Deli and watched me eat. :) That refreshed me so much that when I got home I was glad to begin the work out.

So with all of that said Day 7 is done!!! I don't believe there has ever been a time when I have worked out 7 days in a row! This is a milestone for me.

Here is my food tracker from today.

Special K cereal w/ chocolate and skim milk
plum

pizza
tea

french dip
fruit cup
diet dr. pepper

Day six...

back hurting...

Ibuprofen taken...

will post my food tracker tomorrow...

goodnight.

Day five...

I'm alive.

I'm still sore.

I want to punch Jillian in the face.

I am looking forward to weigh in on September 11th.

If I haven't lost it is probably because of meals like I had today.

Here is my food from today:

September 2

special K w/ chocolate and skim milk
bacon, egg and cheese bagel

chicken strips
waffle fries
sprite

cheeseburger
fries
diet dr. pepper
cookie

Special K cereal skim milk

Day four...

Hmm, what can I say that I haven't already said? Today actually wasn't bad. I don't know if that means I need to work harder or that I am just getting used to it. Either way I am still doing it and that is a good thing! It has been a long time since I have worked out 4 days in a row.

I am not very proud of what I ate today, so I am not going to share it with you. But I will be back to that tomorrow. :)

Day 5 here I come!
