I did the Shred (level 1) and Tread again last night right after work. This time I upped my speed a little to 7, 7.5 and 8. I was sweating bad. I absolutly hate circuit 1 of the Shred level 1. I hate going from push ups to squat & press, back to push ups Read more...
Thanks for the ideas yesterday about the couples shower I’m going to this weekend. I think I’ll just bring a card and a little gift (maybe a bottle of wine or something). I don’t want to be the only one showing up empty-handed! Tuesday morning was very hectic in the office, so I truthfully didn’t Read more...
Hump day was once again another no fitness day. Sadly, I was still sore from doing the Shred on Tuesday so I decided to rest my body in the chance I may do the firefighters race today. Instead of working out, I went over to the BF’s house that he’s flipping to see everything he’s done Read more...
Thanks to everyone on their advice on which race I should do. One of my friends just informed me that the Race To Wrigley 5k is now sold out. I guess I waited to long to register for that one. It looks like I’ll do the Firefighters race on Thursday especially since it’s supposed to Read more...
Monday morning started with an english muffin and light french onion Laughing Cow cheese. I’ve recently ventured out to try the other flavors of laughing cow cheese beside the original swiss flavor and so far I really like the french onion as well. It’s so great for only 35 calories! Lunch consisted of my recent Read more...
I started my Tuesday with a green Granny Smith apple and reduced fat peanut butter. I am probably one of the few food bloggers that loves peanut butter but doesn’t eat it much. When calorie counting, I have such a hard time understanding and accepting that it’s okay to eat. I know that there are Read more...
I just bought a heart rate monitor/watch! If you have read my other posts, you know I’m a huge tech geek when it comes to working out. I’ll try just about any type of gadget and if it is related to working out, that’s even a bigger bonus. I’m really excited because now I can Read more...
132.8 Last night I attempted the Shred level 1 again. I felt like it was harder this time than last. Those darn squat and arm raises kill me. I think I should lower to 3 lb weights for some of the strength exercises and stay at 5lb or maybe even move up to 8 lbs Read more...
133.8 Last night I got home from work and had the energy to work out right away. The weather was SOOO nice here so it put me in an instant good mood. True, the weather was only a high of 55 but to me, it was beautiful! I tried out Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred Read more...
134.0 I didn’t write this weekend because I was out of town for my small town Indiana “bar crawl”. Turns out what we did would never be considered a bar crawl. We started at noon and went to my boyfriend’s stepdad’s bar that he owns. After that we went to two more bars, only one Read more...
