I took measurements today – for the first time since MARCH 31 – so I can try and get an idea of the difference shred will make for me.
Numbers are a crazy thing. I had been feeling pretty good about my body the past few days – and I still do. However I have a lot of work to do to get back to my March/Nov measurements (lowest to date) and then keep trimming down.
I rarely post naughty food pics here, but I can’t help myself these cookies are TOO cute. I love lions (as a Leo naturally) and have a collection of lion items. I want someone to make these for my birthday next year! Other cute foods here http://cutestfood.com/
PREACH!
Last Week:190.4
This Week 189.4
Change: -1
I’m surprised the loss wasn’t bigger, simply due to how hard I worked this week. However my stomach is a NSV. From my boobs to my belly button my stomach looks great. Overall my whole body is feeling more toned and I feel STRONGER.
I need to get back to measurements.
I finished day 6 of 30DS today (and a 4 mile outdoor run with the garmin – who i think i’m naming gary) ANYWAY. I realized today that I can sorta do a push up 6 days in to Shred. I have NEVER been able to do a push up – even a girl modified push up. But weirdly enough after 5 days of Shred and giving as much as I could each time push ups were required I actually have a half-decent form. Imagine if one day I could do real push up and do claps between them – that’s the dream (isn’t it?)
This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship…
I took my Garmin out for a quick run last night (after SREDDING) and it was great. I loved using it during my run (more accurate than my Nike+), but I really loved coming home and getting all kinds of stats. The wireless logging of info is great. I’m excited to play with the virtual running buddy function as well a other training options.
How can I import certain stats from my Garmin home page?
After a series of ups and downs lately about a number of things, I’ve decided to try and CONTROL the things I can ACTUALLY control. Yes exercise and what I eat are at the top of the list, but my finances has always been on the list, but I don’t do well with it.I’m trying to cut back on expenses so I can take more chunks out of my debt.
Today I “downgraded” my gym membership. I’ve been a member for 3+ years and have been paying $49.99 a month. Well they are running a special for $19.99 a month and I was able to opt into that. The only thing chaning about my membership is the price. $30 a month in my pocket. WINNING
I am also planning on calling my cable/internet company to see if I can get a “back to school” deal – I’ve done that the past 2 years. The deals are usually good for 6-9 months than the price increases. With the special I am looking at I could be saving $37 a month.
Next month I am going to “freeze” my netflix, which I have done before. I also plan on trying to sell more of my old clothes to my favorite consignment shop.
Got other money saving tips? send them my way!
This may be a silly question, but I was planning on doing each level of the 30 day shred for 10 days before moving up. Is that was those of you who did it did? Also when you moved up a level did you do level 1 AND 2 or just 2?
Oh and I weighed my makeshift weights – a jar of tomato sauce and a large can of canned pumpkin – both are 2.2 lbs!
Two new running shirts I got for 55% off AND had a $15 coupon, so it was like buy 1 half off get one free!
I needed another running tank and I just loved the back (shown) of the shirt on the right.
Still charging/setting up the Garmin, but I did knock out level 1 day 4 of shred!
YAY my Garmin is here and doesn’t have any defects at first glance!
I multitasked this morning by running 3.2 miles round trip to the post office to pick up this bad boy! Exercise and errands combo FTW
Now I’m about to do shred level 1 day 3!!
