okay, yes I want to have another baby as my obsession with the baby story continues. and as you read in my last meme, I would rather those a few pounds, okay 15 to be exact, before getting pregnant. what's a historically awful dieter and exerciser to do?
um, call jillian michaels, of course! well, I did not have her number or the cash for private lessons, so I headed to target and bought her shred dvd. I have been hearing the buzz about jillian's workout for awhile. so many bloggers seem to love it and I have been following bacardi mama along her journey. she informed me that the team over at shrinking jeans will be starting another challenge on may 11th. now, I am not sure if I am the group challenge kind of gal, but will most definitely follow along and hopefully get some tips!
but I have joined jillian's fan club. I bought the dvd after a gym trip on sunday and did the level 1 routine on monday. um, let's discuss for a minute how LEVEL 1 kicked my butt. LEVEL 1 KICKED MOMMIE'S BUTT!!! jillian + running should help me achieve my goal. as for my diet, well all I can say is I will try. I hate dieting. I loathe dieting. I would love to cook three meals a day. heck, I would love to cook ONE meal a day, but I don't. this makes dieting, next to impossible.
so, here is where I need your advice! what should be apart of my diet? tips, recipes, advice all welcomed. a little about me -- I am an all natural girl. I steer clear of artificial sugars, processed foods, preservatives, etc... I know I should eat more veggies and fruit. never skip breakfast (which I have gotten so much better at). I should cut out the fat (butter, cream cheese, cheese in general!). I should go to carb rehab! I know how to diet. I just find it so time consuming. all the planning and counting...
anyway, my pursuit to my pre-double l bod is in full effect. even though you have total read this before. this time I have a mission. a goal :)
starting weight - 139. yes, I know my scale is way off, but that's what it reads and thats what I am going with... I will make sure I always weigh myself on my nice, liar of a scale that is consistently understating my weight. but since its consistent, I can actually track pounds lost, just not my actual weight :) this false impression of my actual weight during pregnancy came in handy. yes, I knew I gained 55 pounds!!! I just didn't know my actual weight and never listened to the nurse as she was babbling about it at my weekly doctor's appointments.
okay, I am off to shred. actually to make double l some dinner, but will be shredding later...

Shred girl! Good for you. I fell off the shredding wagon already. Maybe you'll inspire me :)
Thanks for the shout out. Shredding is hard. Wait till you get to the next level. I'm so proud of you. I really love to shred, even though I'd like to punch Jillian in the face every now and then. I'm not a breakfast girl either. I feel like I'm doing good if I get a Fiber One bar or yogurt down before I leave for work. I try to keep green peppers sliced and grapes already washed and stemmed in the fridge for a quick snack. I try to drink lots of water, but I love my diet coke. Lunch is usually some type of Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice frozen meal. Dinner I try to do just meat and veggies of some kind. I love a good tossed salad so that helps. I try to steer away from breads and potatoes. Being you read my blog, you know I don't always accomplish these things. My main goal every day is to shred. I've only lost six pounds, but my clothes are fitting totally different. I love that!! Keep up the good work and keep me posted if you need words of encouragement. Sorry this was so long.
okay girlie - I will buy that DVD and we can motivate each other!
I am too afraid to step on the scale - all I know is that all my regular sized jeans DO NOT fit me and I am in my post pregnancy pants/jeans - very sad!!!!!
I don't need to tell you that it's not a diet or a workout program...it's a lifestyle. I've been up and down and up and down and up....well you get the picture.The key is to find something you can live with, whatever that is. For me, since I'm nt a sweets person, its about portion control. I can easily eat double what I should! Good luck finding your stride!
Yay!! Good for you!
I have heard GREAT things about that DVD!
I can tell you goodluck honey...and of course give my pic to throw darts at and get you moving :)
I think I'll buy a work out video too..not to lose, but for strength and heart etc.
I've heard good things too...best wishes to you!!
I am SO tempted to buy the DVD. Though I won't change my diet at all. The minute I try to do that I eat more. I need to drop about 8 pounds and TONE a lot!
I struggle with diets too. I hope that exercising and eating for two will counteract my sweet tooth.
I'll have to looking into the shred dvd. i've just bought two other dvds to use at home. I feel funny doing them at home but now I don't have an excuse not to exercise. Good luck on your weight loss journey
