April 20th - 30th I'll be back home visiting, so I need to REALLY step it up this week, so I'm moving on to level two of Shred.
I just might die, but I refuse, I REFUSE to quit.
I just double checked my measurements, and took my before pictures, and I'll have a new scale at the end of the day so I'll have all of that posted this evening.
Here we gooooo!

Uh ohhh...
My husband had a three day weekend this past weekend, so I spent some time with him, and got caught up with cleaning up the house and whatnot completely sidetracked and missed a few days of working out. :/
My goal for April is to lose 15 and it's already April 3rd! --Time to really step up my game.
Tomorrow I am still going to do my H&T with bands and weights, and moving up from 4lb weights up to 6lbs. I'm also continuing with my Shred, I want to be on level two by next week. I need to work off those chocolate chip cookies I had this weekend.
I have no more chocolate or peanut butter in the house so temptation is limited. My husband came along with me grocery shopping so as far as "healthy" food--I'm pretty limited, but I'm portioning and watching how I prepare everything, we'll see what happens.
I didn't get to buy a scale, but I don't need to weigh myself to know nothing has changed, I'll measure myself this weekend and see if anything noticeable has happened--I'm still afraid to know my exact weight, but still very curious at the same time. I know it's stupid to be dieting when I don't even know how overweight I am, but I mean, come on... I'm fat.
I'm hoping to change that very soon though.
Oh, and some good news!
My husband goes up a rank this week!!
Ttyt!

Just a rant, I guess..
I am SO ready for some serious change in my life. I'm so tired of being at home all the time cooking and cleaning and having nothing to show for it. Sure I have a clean house, and to have a roof over my head at all I am grateful but I need some freedom! I saw an ad in the paper for a job opening and I'm hoping tomorrow I can go apply, it's not fast food so that's a plus.
I found out today mom will only keep my cats until the end of April, which *crosses fingers* hopefully by then I will have had a paycheck so I can add them to our lease and finally have them home with me. After that--retail therapy!! I cannot remember the last time I actually went shopping for something other than groceries and didn't have to worry about budgeting.
Also, in a few weeks I can start to register for classes, so I can cross that off my to-do list. I just...*sigh* have so many things I need to do, but I need a job first before anything else can take place (aside from starting classes) although.. having a second car wouldn't hurt.
Blah.. I'm just frustrated, and SOO sick of "hurry up and wait" that's the story of my life. I'm ready to start my life already. But alas, I have to wait. -.-
This post makes no sense, but I feel better after writing it..
Anyways, I have a lot to get done tomorrow, so I should head on to bed soon.
G'night.

A day of rest.
Sorry guys, I'm afraid I'm going to have to skip today--my body needs a break and my house needs to be cleaned. I'll be sure to pick back up with it tomorrow, my legs just can't handle it today.
On the menu tomorrow--
Sculpt and H&T with both weights and resistant bands.
Sculpt is (I'm guessing) 30-45 minutes, and the other two are 20 minutes a pieces. I'll be making up for skipping today, so hopefully it will be worth it.

Ouch!
So day three was just a 20 minute ab workout. I lied when I said the workout would be 40 minutes, there are two work outs per DVD and I guess I was counting that one too. (I would have done H&T but I needed to get started on dinner for my husband.)
BUT-- I decided to give my legs a break today and focused on my abs, and ohmygoodness!
I may have cheated a tad on this because it was so brutal-- brutal in a sense that it's been way too long, I pushed through and made it though. I'll get better. :)
I think tomorrow I'll try this new "sculpt" workout. It came with the BBL series, it's basically Shred without the cardio. I think I'll do that with H&T and then Thursday pick back up with Shred.
I'm just trying to keep every day different so that my body never gets used to anything, so that it's constantly challenged and (hopefully) changing.
I have a weigh in coming up at the end of the week. Sooo excited!

Day three in progress!
Oh..my God! When I got up this morning, I put my feet on the floor to walk into the bathroom and..WOW!
The back of my legs are SO sore, that's how you know you had a good workout! I'm not sure if I'll be doing the Shred today, maybe just focusing on my abs. I have a video that's about 45 minutes focusing on nothing but the stomach. It's called 'Tummy Tuck' from BBL. Then tomorrow I think I'll pick back up with the legs and cardio--I just don't want to over do it, so alternating for now doesn't sound too bad.
Also, fact-peanut butter is my weakness. I need to get this out of the house, haha.
If the ab work-out isn't too brutal I may go ahead and squeeze in H&T; what can I say? I'm starting to feel amaaaazing. :)
Okay, let's do this.
Post later.

Day two in the books.
Ahh! My legs feel like Jell-O and I'm soaked in sweat--but I feel amazing!
I wonder if I have the strength to stand up to take a hot shower before making dinner for my husband. We shall see. :)
First and foremost since this is my first post on this site, I feel I should explain my plan so far...
Day one was last Friday, I took the weekend off because that was the first time I had worked out in almost a year, so I wanted to ease into it. My legs were hurting like something terrible and I didn't want to over-do it just starting out.
I started out with 30 Day Shred; level one (of course) and it nearly killed me, haha.
Today was day two, and I did BBL's High & Tight (it's a butt/leg workout), and then another round of Shred; level one. It totaled to be right at an hour, which is suffice. My overall goal for the month of April is to lose at LEAST 15 lbs, I know it seems like a stretch, but I'll accept a minimum of 10 lbs. I'd like to lose at least 1-2 pant sizes, and at least 4 inches off my waist, but time will tell how realistic my goals are.
I'm not sure on my exact weight, but I do have all of my measurements which I will post tomorrow, or later today. (I'm really due for a shower, hah)
I don't think I'm ballsy enough to post any before pictures just yet, but I will later on as I start to make progress, after all this is just my first full week into this so I don't plan on seeing any changes, other than shakey legs for at least a week. I'm getting a new scale on the first so I'll post my weight then, I'll probably just hold off on the measurements until then too, I suppose.
Anyways!
My husband will be home from work soon, so I need to shower, clean up a tad and start preparing some dinner.
Feel free to leave comments. :)
