i was young and dumb, and karma kicked me right in the butt. i have had to work every time to lose the weight after having children. it was never easy, but never as difficult as it has been for me since i had elijah.
it may be because i am getting older or simply because i now have access to food 24 hrs. a day now that i don't work. staying busy at work was always a great way to keep me from hanging out at the fridge.
after hearing so many people talk about the 30 day shred with jillian michaels, a bunch of us bloggers decided to get together and challenge ourselves to do it.
i don't know about you, but i think that having a support group is a great motivator for me. not only do i not want to be the one known as a quitter, but i can call upon these ladies to talk me out of eating a whole tub of ice cream or an entire bag of chips when i have had a rotten day.
each week we will be linking up our progress, including our goals, successes, and failures, as well as our current measurements.
we will be doing workout 1 june 1-30 and encourage you to join us. the 30 day shred can be purchased HERE for $14.98 on DVD or downloaded HERE right now for only $9.95. you can also find it if you have exercise tv on demand, where workout 1 is currently available, and you may even be able to find it on netflix (that's a total guess though so let me know if you find it there.)
all of these wonderful bloggers, including myself, will be taking before photos and measurements, and then in 30 days, we will do it again.
want to join us? be sure to grab the button at the top and post it on your blog to let everyone know that you are doing the 30 day shred with jillian michaels. then, get out your camera and snap a few before photos and take a few measurements and share them in a post.
where to measure?
- each arm (thickest part)
- each thigh (thickest part)
- upper waist (smallest)
- lower waist (at your belly button)
- your hips (biggest part)
write all of this information down or store it in some type of spreadsheet because we will be doing this again. now, come back tomorrow and link up!
