So yesterday I was way too sore to workout walk...the 30 day shred made my muscles turn into painful jello. I could feel muscles that I had not felt in years and it felt so good.

I had every intention of doing the workout today, but then I got about three hours of very choppy sleep last night, making laundry my biggest form of exercise for the day. Coffee didn't help. I was too tired to even nap in between feeding and changing and playing with the boy.

Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to workout. I know that once I get a routine down I will start to crave the exercise. I can't wait to get past the point where working out makes me dog tired, and get to the point where it invigorates me.

Tomorrow my friends newborn baby will be having surgery and I have signed up to pray during the times that I feed Travis. If you think about it tomorrow from 7-4 please throw up a little prayer for baby Arden and the family and doctors. Thanks friends!

I don't like going to the gym. Getting the kids ready, getting myself ready, getting in the car, driving across town, finding a parking spot, dropping the kids at day care, going to the class/bike/weight room, waiting for machine, watching the fat sweaty guy NOT wipe down the machine, picking up the kids from day care, driving home without stopping for a whopper...it's just not my thing. I would rather work out at home or outside.

Today was day 1 of the 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels. Ouch. I am so out of shape and so weak that I couldn't make it all the way through the 20 minute workout...I had to stop several times to catch my breath or rest my screaming muscles! (This is where you point and laugh) At the end I felt like I was going to throw up. Yeah, I am THAT out of shape. I haven't worked out in just under a year. Last year at this time I was walking and doing pilates every day, then I got pregnant and my body decided that walking would be painful and life draining for me, then I had a baby, and then the holidays hit. All that combined to make me the weakest I have ever been.

I really liked all the moves on the DVD and I am so excited to watch my body change as I get stronger.
Weight wise I have 4 pounds of preggo weight , about 2 pounds of holiday weight, and 5-10 pounds of "when did this get here?" to lose. I forgot to get my "before" measurements this morning, so I will do that before tomorrows workout(if I can get out of bed).
