Stay Away Germs

I’ve currently pulled myself out of the Shred Challenge so I can focus on breathing and sitting upright. I don’t know what day we’re on at all so you will have to catch me up when I’m feeling better. It’s not all bad though. Since I have been only semi-conscious and haven’t felt much like […]

More Shredded Than Lettuce

Hey Shredders, how is everyone doing?!?! I’m so excited that all of you are trying it with me, I think it’s really helping me stay on track. Keep the comments coming so we can see how everyone is doing. I tried the Level 2 this week and then went back to Level 1 on Friday. […]

Fruit Salad of Destiny

I don’t particularly like fruit. In fact I can say that most fruit frightens me; especially berries. Let’s not get into it. My son on the other hand LOVES fruit so I have had to come up with different ways to present it to him. I made a minty fruit salad the other day that […]

If You Want My Body and You Think I’m Sweaty

Shoot me, shoot me now. I would do it myself but I’m too tired and my arms hurt. Kidding…mostly. This has been a rough week for sticking to the challenge. I didn’t even finish my 20 minutes yesterday. Like seriously, it’s ONLY 20 MINUTES. Exactly how lame does that make me? I often feel like […]

Stroller Strides

So how’s everyone (all what, 4 of us) doing with the 30 Day Shred Challenge? I have soooo not wanted to do it this week as I have been having my lady time, you know my lady time. They say that exercise is good for you during these times but I just couldn’t summon the […]

30 Day Shred Challenge

  
On the recommendation of my friend, I tried Jillian Michaels’ (of The Biggest Loser) 30 Day Shred workout. It has three levels that go according to difficulty. Not including the warm up part, the whole thing lasts 20 minutes and is structured in 3-2-1. Three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute […]

She’s Got Legs. Not Quite Sure How to Use Them Yet

Last week I wasn’t able to jump-rope much because of well…life but I got back on track over the weekend. So far, I’m down two more pounds. That makes six overall in about four weeks. Nothing major , I’m just plugging away at it. The really cool thing is that my legs are starting to look so much […]

Summer Workout Gear

 
A big part of getting in shape is having the right equipment and gear. An unsupportive sports bra or shorts that keep riding up can ruin a workout. If you are doing any kind of serious running, you should replace your shoes every 300-550 miles. I have a good friend who is an avid runner […]

Jump Rope Or Die

After going to the doctor about my insomnia I was feeling pretty discouraged over my ability to actually make that kind of change in my life. There is just no way I can get out to the gym or go running at the end of the day. By the time the kid’s in bed and […]

Earth Day Shape Up

Since today is Earth Day and we are now officially into Spring, I thought we should talk about some healthy ways to get fit in the great outdoors. I personally would rather run on a treadmill any day than outside (fewer people staring at my wobbly bits) but I think I need to change the way I […]
