Down 2 pounds!

As the title states: I have lost 2 pounds so far!  Not alot but hey it is 2 pounds that I don't want or need :)

I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred last night with Tim...owie!  I can feel it today :)  Which is a good thing!  I remember in High School one of my coaches (who I wasn't too fond of during high school at all!) Coach Geotz had told us that when we are sore after working out and running then it means that we did something.  It means that we worked the correct muscles and that we pushed ourselves past our comfort zone.  Well I can honestly say that Jillian pushed me way beyond my comfort zone!  It was so nice that Tim was doing it with me, even though we both know that he doesn't need to work out ;)  Whenever I felt like I needed to quit or stop, he was right behind me saying "come on baby you can do this, keep going!"  It was nice to have that encouragement and support.

We are going to do it everyday until we have completed the video.  We decided that we are going to try and do each level 10 days in a row.  Hopefully by day 10 I will have been able to do more than I was on Day 1 for level 1!

I also made myself a delicious Protein Smoothie this morning for my drive into work.  It was pretty good :)  I used vanilla protein powder, frozen strawberries and bananas, and milk.  The kids were so intrigued by it :)  They were giggling while I was making them and everything!  They are too cute.  I do have to make fun of myself though, so I am a virgin at this whole protein powder stuff, so when I went to open the container to put in my scoop of it I about screamed.  That scoop is HUGE!  Here I was thinking that it was going to be like the size of Adalyn's formula scoop but oh no not at all!  Tim laughed at me.

Tomorrow I am going to a kickboxing class in Saint Paul with one of my very good friends.  I am nervous as can be but I am excited.  Especially when I get a text message from Jamie yesterday evening that says "Make sure to wear comfortable clothes.  Bring tons of water and also make sure to have ibuprofen.  Take it for 2 days after because you are going to hurt!"  Nice, just what I need.  Again though I think about what Coach Geotz said to me and I will push through the pain...I may not be able to move come Wednesday but I will have done it!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

  1. My exact thoughts about the protein powder....however, I was comparing it to the instant iced tea mix scoop.

    1. Thank you Colleen for making me feel better :) If I didn't have Adalyn I would probably compare it to instant iced tea too :) Thank you again for the book...I started reading it and it is really good! I just wish I could actually join Anytime Fitness! I got a deal in the mail from them and I was tempted but I know that my finances wouldn't be mad at me!!
