Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

My Shred Day #5

FRIDAY:

I didn't get to all the exercises I wanted to this morning, but my run was fantastic.

RUN:  3.02 miles  (including a big hill)

My Shred Day #4

Thursdays are always the worst for me.  I did not want to get up this morning, but it was very important to keep me motivated and going to get up.  I did.

Here is what I did:

Cardio Max (Biggest Loser)
Tight Ass Workout - I only went through this one time, because after Cardio Max it was all I could do.

I have never done Bridges before this workout and I didn't really know how much they really work.  Oh man, the pain.

My Shred: Day #3

Wednesday:

2 mile run
The 99.

I started at 55 because I didn't have the time to do the whole 99.  But the first time I ever did it was AWESOME.  However, I couldn't move for a few days.

My Shred Day 2

Cardio X

- this workout is fantastic.  I just love it.  Not while I'm doing it, but afterwards I feel like I could do almost anything.  Like clean my whole house in 1/2 hour.  That would be a miracle.

I"m supposed to do the

Here's hoping I get to it today.

Shredding the Pregnant Fatness

I am soon coming up on 1 year since my Green Bean was born.  And I just haven't been putting in the time or effort to lose all the weight that I gained while pregnant. (both times)  I am sick of feeling gross.  I'm sick of feeling tired.  I just want to feel good in my own skin.  And I always feel best when I am eating healthy and working out regularly.

So, I put together my own plan for the rest of the year.  That's right.  All the way through December.  I am going to tell you all about what I'm doing and how it feels to do it.  And hopefully I will get to where I want to be.

July 16, 2012:

p90x ab ripper- I only got through v-up roll-ups

2 mile run- it was so humid (I know it's nothing compared to places East of here) I thought my lungs were going to collapse.

Lean Arms Pyramid- this was WAY harder than I thought it was going to be.  I only did it one time through.

Exercise Example

Little ones just want to do what we do. Exercising isn't just to keep me healthy, it's to teach my kids how to keep themselves healthy.

Sweet Pea exercising like Momma.

Just look at that view of Waterton Lake.
