I am an addict

I am embarrassed to admit that I am addicted to clothing! It is just now dawning on me! I bought some Space Saver bags to pack up and store my out of season clothing in. I had 3 large space saver bags, and I have filled everyone to the brim and still have need for a few more bags! What the hell? Do I really NEED all that clothing...........NO! Do I WANT all that clothing....YES! And despite my better judgment I still by more at times! I really really need to get a handle on this. Seriously, if I put 1/2 that money spent on clothing we would be out of debt....well ok that was an exaggeration, but you know what I mean. Oh what I could do with all that extra cash. It's so hard for me though...I am enticed by the emails, and sales. I love the feeling of getting new clothes. But that's just it....it is a high..so to speak....and it has to stop! Lord help me!

Does someone have a bucket?

Just in case anyone decides to try out the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, let it me known when you finish you feel like you are going to die! I really feel like I could throw up right now! But after all that wears off and I am showered and clean I feel so much better. AF should be coming tomorrow and I have no symptoms of cramping or moodiness at all and I know exercise does help with that so that's great!

So if you do this and you feel like death, don't worry I do to...but it's already working....so keep going!!!!!!

BTW my muscles don't hurt as bad today. I have been popping motrin and soaking in hot baths and I keep moving. It's worse if you sit down to baby it......so much worse. That's why you feel like crap when you wake up the next morning. This morning was the first morning I didn't look like Frankenstein climbing the stairs to get Ethan.

Bye, bye body fat.

As you can see I am up 2 lbs, but my body fat has gone down to 37%. Yeah muscle! And this is only after 3 days. I just did my measurements and here is the deal:

145 lbs
37% body fat
37 1/2" around the belly button
32" waist
11 1/2" left arm
11 1/2" right arm
22 1/2" left thigh
22 1/2" right thigh

This is hard for even me to believe as I have only been doing this for 3 days, but I guess Jillian is right. She is giving me a run for my money, but I am already seeing results. 2 lbs of muscle in 3 days is not bad at all! And I know it's muscle because my inches are going down! YIPEE! Can I also say that I haven't been doing much in the dieting area. I try to eat healthier, but I am still eating ice cream, and hamburgers and it's still working well. Not that eating healthy is bad, I just think at my age I should still have a little bit of freedom with what I eat. I am only 28, a bowl of ice cream shouldn't hurt me that much especially since I have been thin my whole life. I think the big thing is that I am not exercising as much as I did when I was younger.

Before

I really hate doing this, but since it is a journal for me to look back on I decided I should publicly humiliate myself and post pictures of my flubbery body. I know once I am better shape I will want to see what it was that I looked like. This is the best picture I could get out of Emma! We have a new lens on the camera and it makes it super heavy so this is the best she could do!

Aftermath

I don't know it this is because I am working out so hard or what it is but I fell asleep sitting up at 7 o' clock last night! haha! I was planning on going to bed early but not that early.

Good news is that I can indeed move today. Granted I look like a robot moving but I can move nonetheless.

Yeah baby!

I just got my ass whooped! That Jillian Michaels is tough, but encouraging. It's so awful and so great all at the same time!

I will be lucky if I can move at all tomorrow!

My bit fat body!

SLACKER! I have been so bad lately. I have been lifting weights every other day but with summer here I am having a really hard time staying on track with food. There are just way too many hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice cream cones to be eaten! So because of this I have had to ramp up my exercise program. It's hard for me to go for a walk with my kids (a productive walk that is) because I only have one jogging stroller and walking at Emma pace doesn't exactly burn that many calories. I know, excuses, excuses but what can I say....it really is the truth. But I discovered a wonderful thing called On Demand through my cable company. I had seen comercials for it before and I have digital cable already I just thought I would have to pay extra for this On Demand stuff. Turns out I was wrong. I had to do some research but I discovered that all I had to do was punch in the channel and voila! all of this glorious new programming right at my fingertips! One of which is ExerciseTv on Demand. They have several workouts on there all different types...from cardio to pilates, to biggest looser workouts. I saw and ad for Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and let me tell you she almost killed me and I only did half of the workout because Ethan woke up!

So my new stats today are 143 lbs
38% body fat....ewe!
38" around the belly button
32" waist
12" left arm
12" right arm
23" left thigh
23" right thigh
