Day 2
Day 2 of the 30 day shred DONE! I was so not feeling it. Taking a week off can sometimes make it hard and I was going to ride my bike so a video wasn't the plan. But since it got late and I didn't get my ride in I got a video instead. I am glad I did it. I am glad I am working out. It is better for me emotionally. I am doing a fitness assessment for work tomorrow so that should be interesting. I will do a video tomorrow night and spin class and video Thursday.

Trying something new
So to be honest as much as I liked the Live Fit program and I will do it again I had to switch gears. I just wasn't losing the weight I need to in order to make weight in a month. I still have 10 pounds to go and I can't risk not making it. My job depends on it. So cardio queen to the rescue :). I started the 30 day shred today and I will do it like I did the first time for a full 30 days no breaks 10 days on each level. I did great tonight and really pushed. I like that I push myself more with this video. I am also going to ride my bike on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday and do a spin class on Thursday. I hope to drop at least 10 pounds by April 1. I did another picture today to show my before and after of the 30 day shred. I can't wait to see how I do. I also put it up against my Dec photo and you can actually see more of a difference so I am glad I did another picture. I think it helped me.

Lack of posting
Sorry for the lack of posting since last Friday. We had slumber parties and friends all weekend and then Monday I fell ill :(. Its been rough. Yesterday I went to bed at 730pm and slept all night. Yeah I am sick and tired. But I do feel on the mend since I got such a great night sleep and I hope to get a work out in tonight. I think I am going to shred it up this week or ride my bike and then next week start week 9 of the 12 fresh without missing any. I think I will gain the most benefit from the program that way. So this week will be modified to a workout of my choosing :). I am down to 171.6 as of this morning. We will see if it sticks or is because I am sick.

Day 54 (Friday) and progress pictures
Wohoo didn't skip out on my workout today. Although it wasn't for lack of options LOL. I so didn't want to workout but I am so glad I did. I always feel better after a sweat session. Although after doing progress pictures I don't feel as thrilled. I don't really see that I am changing that much and I am super sad and frustrated with it. I just want to see that amazing body I know is hiding in there. Grrrr.
I think the front progress shows more progress but the side shows not much change. I really need to put on the same clothes each time. I think that would help me see more.... Or that is what I tell myself. Looks as if my waist is getting smaller.

Day 53 (Thursday)
Today was shoulders. And I didn't get my cardio done since the dr office called and I had to leave for a rescheduled appointment. I figured I would be able to ride my bike but I failed there and didn't get it done. Perhaps this is why I am not getting the amazing results others are :(. But I am making progress and that is better than staying fat. The scale is barely moving but its going down and the tape measure is getting smaller. Tomorrow is picture day and I sure hope I can see some great improvement to push me through the last four weeks of this program. It is hard but I know I am stronger. I know I am healthier. And I know I am only going to get more healthy and stronger and better.

Day 52 (Wednesday)
Today was a chest day. I did run 5 mins without stopping woot. I have never done that before. I walk/ran a mile in 17 mins... so I still count it a win. I missed a few of the workouts today, sounds like the story of my life. I ran out of time, no ones fault but my own. I did manage to get some time in the pool and swam 20 laps and swam for 45 mins. I go slow for the first 15 mins while my oldest learns to swim laps with me :). Its worth it. At least I got a decent workout in and I didn't bail completely. I would like to find something that didn't take me quite so long at the gym. I might have to split my cardio and my weights to get through the last 4.5 weeks. So close to the end of the program and really I am getting stronger even if the scale doesn't want to go down :(. I am sure my erratic eating has nothing to do with it.... Today especially I need to remember this one.

Day 51 (Tuesday)
Legs day, wohoo. I totally should have done my workout at lunch time but I was so hungry I opted to eat instead LOL. So I had to get my tired butt going at 8pm to get my leg workout in. I got 20 mins into my workout and had to call it. Something is going on with my right knee :(. Cracking and pain isn't a good sign. And only when I was putting undue weight on it to push me upward. GAH I hate this. I will push my upper body tomorrow. I will get through this and get on track with my weightloss. I guess 20 mins and trying is better than nothing at all and hurting my knee to where I can't work out won't do me any good either. Especially since I just paid for STP. March 12th I will be done with LIVEFIT and start the program in my weight lifting rules for women book.
