You win some, you lose some!

The winning part for me is that I only worked out 2 times in the last 15 days and I was able to lose weight! 1.5 pounds to be exact (I was shocked)!!

Even though I lost weight I feel like I cheated myself. I have only done 5 days of the 30 Day Shred and the month is almost over. I think I will either start the count over or just not worry about it and start with day 6?!

I have plenty of excuses if you care to know why I fell short of my 6 day a week workout goal. Besides being busy beyond busy getting ready for a craft show I have a bad back.

In the Shred there is a lot of "jumping" and everytime I would do these exercises I would get an electric shock in my back around my left shoulder blade. As fun as that sounds it gets old fast. I've been counting down the days to get to go to the chiropractor. Today was the day!! I went and it was wonderful so here's to starting a fresh, hopefully pain (in the back) free workout again!!

6 lbs down, 26 to go!

The Shred

I did my first day of the shred on Saturday. Oh my goodness... I woke up Sunday morning and told Brian that I had muscles hurting that I didn't even know I had.

I took yesterday (Sunday/Day of rest) off and begrudgingly did it again today. To my surprise it wasn't even as bad as it was Saturday. I don't know if it was because I took a day off or what but it was better nonetheless. I am actually excited to do it again tomorrow!

Drum roll please...

My month of Zumba is done. I went 4 days a week through out the month. I LOVED IT!!! It's a workout without feeling like a workout.

I took my weight and measurements [up. arm, bust, waist, tummy, hips and up. thigh] before starting and.......

I'm down 4 pounds (163)!!!! AND lost 3.5 inches!!!

I know it doesn't sound like a lot but it's a healthy lose so I'm happy with it!

What is my next plan of attack you ask?? Are you ready for this...

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred!

I'm excited and nervous, I'll keep you updated.

4 lbs down, 28 to go!
