Day 4: Please Lord...Let Jilliam Michaels feel the pain I am going through right now, and also, please don't let Tyler be too, TOO upset that I am going to break the window by throwing the blu-ray machien through it. It wasn't my fault, Honestly! It was Jillians!

So, I was going to try and do the workout before work again, but Hannah woke up too early. So I go tit all set up so I can do it on my lunch hour. Well, I guess little Miss Hannah decided to play with the remote a bit before we left... *Le Sigh*

Went home, stripped down out of my work clothes ( I even strectched in the car while driving! LMAO I was stopped at red lights and stretching my neck and arms!!) hit play and off we went!! Or so I thought... Hmmm Why are they wearing different clothes...wait...Why are we warming up differently?? QUICK QUICK Turn up the volume!! "...different from Level 1..." Wait?! Why is it different??? NOOOOOOOOO

Yup! Miss Hannah selected level 2 for me, and even paused it right at the beginning for me! Brat!

So I sucked it up and did it! O crap I was red faced, sweating and GRUNTING like a pig! It was ridiculous! I finished right until Circuit 3, I go thalf way through Circuit 3... (TMI**) and than bodily fluid left my body! Yup Theres a little too much jumping with that oblique jumoand twist and that plank push up jumping... *Note to self...follow Anita the beginner chick, not the other chick!

So, sweaty, grunting, flushed, and totally grossed out. But I felt the burn! OH BOY did I feel the burn!! Tomorrow, I will be returning to Level 1 for another few days!

After I finished the workout I had mye ggs and passed out on the couch for all of 5 minutes before rushing to get dressed and straighten up for work!

Wieght: Who knows?! I wasnt climbing the stairs to find out! LOL

30 Day Shred

Day 3

Day 3:

Today I decided to get up 40 minutes early and do my workout before work. Im not much of a morning person, so it was a big deal! LOL

My alarm went off though and I was up and rigth to it! I think I had less energy while doing the workout than I normally do, but I gave it all I got.

I worked up a sweat bigger than last time, but did not feel like dying until the very end when it was time for the bicycle crunches. Usually when I get to this part I am cursing out Jillian! This time I focused and made it right to the last 5 crunches before i cursed the beotch out! LOL

My daughter woke up just at the last skipping before the crunches and I hurried through the after workout strectching ( I can hear some of groaning now!) I know I have been warned! And I am seriosuly feeling it in my legs this morning! I had to go back upstairs this morning because I forgot something, and I continued to curse Jillian out all the way up the stairs! LOL

During the workout, I had the finger sweat again, I felt myself getting lower in the lunges, and higher in the skipping. I definatly feel MUCH better than the first time I did this workout. I think I need to make time for some more stretching though.

The crunches were not as hard as they have been the last 2 workouts, and I *think* I actually see a difference in my stomach toning...but that could be wishful thinking!

My wieght stayed the same, but I weighed myself in the morning, and not at the same time as I normally do, im not sure how much of a difference that makes, but Im told it makes a difference! So I will try and remember to check at lunch!

Weight today: 162 pounds (73.6Kg I believe)

30 Day Shred

Day 2

Day 2:

OK, felt much better this time. I wasn't sweating until about 9 minutes in to it, yesterday was much earlier! I had moreenergy while doing it and was able to not feel like I was dying until the last 4 minutes!

In between my fingers sweat like crazy while doing the boxing punches. (**TMI Alert**) when I workout I just do itin a tank top and underwear, and afterwards, my underwear were SOAKEd in sweat, how nasty is that??? EWWW But today I timed it well, had time to shower than make my eggs and make it back to work with seconds to spare!

I have found a spot on my wall that is teeny tiny that somehow missed its last coat of paint, so I fond myself concentrating on this spot while trying not to time howlong Ive been doing this!

I feel great doing the skipping, jumping jacks and butt kicks, but when it comes time for those squats I feel like dying!

I ate 4 scrambled eggs instead of 3 today because I thought since Im actually working out, I might need more.

All in all, I think todays workout was ALOT easier than before. I don't feel as sore right now as I did yesterday, we'll see how I feel tonight and tomorrow morning though!

Weight today: 162 pounds (73.6Kg I believe)

30 Day Shred

Day 1

This is copied and pasted from a post I put on Weddingbook on facebook.

OK, Im not counting yesterday as I didnt finish the whole thing. But heres the story;

Day 1: Went home and pu ton DVD, why is there soooo much intro I cannot fast forward through? Eventually get the thing up!

Start Weight 165 pounds (75kg I think?)

Made it through the whole thing!!!

Red faced and sweaty the whole time. I was sweating in places I didn't know I could sweat from!!

Most of the time I was good looking at the girl in purple and doing the deeper squats and stuff. But I cannot do a push up. I did them against the wall instead

By the time the video was in the cool off mode I had shred my track pants and shirt..I was way too hot!!

Now, back at work..hair frizzy and a mess, make up slighly skewed, smell liek I used to perfume to cover BO...prolly cuz I did.

To improve on tomorrow: Que video before i leave work in the morning so I have time to shower AFTER working out.

Man, I am S-O-R-E!

Wedding Food

The Mock Wedding..

So we went on Saturday to a Mock wedding. All the brides (and grooms) that have booked or are thinking of booking the hall are invited. They have the head table set up with all the food so you can see the presentation. The DJ is included in our venue so he was there, showing all of his stuff. I really want to add the name in lights on to our package! Our names and date in lights on the dance floor, would be so cool!

Anyways, the food was AWESOME! I didn't like the hcicken, but were having the beef anyways. The slow roasted strip sirloin was absolutly amazing!

The best part of the meal was the chocolate cosmopolitan...although I would prefer the lemon at the wedding i think...or half lemon half chocolate and the guests can choose? I don't know, but its really good!

It was buffet style, and they had most of the things to choose from. The showcased the lemon cosmo, but we only got to eat the chocolate one.

So our menus is;
Selection of hot & cold h'oerdervs (I know thats spelled wrong!)
Rolls & Butter
Salad - green/greek/ceaser - most likely ceaser
tortellini (again sp?)
Slow roasted strip sirloin with potatoes and veggies
Lemon/Chocolate cosmo
Tea/Coffee

Wedding cake!!! LOL and were also having the midnight sweets table and the candy buffet!
