Some of you know I've been doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It has definitely taken me longer than 30 days. In the beginning there was no way I could do 2 consecutive days because my muscles were so sore!
I haven't lost tons of weight. 8lbs so far and I'm on the 6th day of Level 3. I'm not too concerned about what I haven't lost, but I'm totally psyched about what I've gained!
I am stronger! I can do more than I could before. Going up and down the stairs is a breeze now. Loading wood in the fire not as hard (still don't like doing it but I actually can now).
When I think about how weak I was it's kind of scary. I'm not done yet I still have a ways to go. Level 3 is still kicking my butt pretty good. I know my cardiovascular system thanks me.
I've also lost inches too. How much exactly I don't know. I never did measure, but I started at a size 12 and now my size 10s are getting lose and baggy. Maybe soon I'll get into those old size 8s I have kicking around in the closet.
I never use to like working out, but now I look forward to it.
It's good to sweat!
And now I have good stabilizing muscles to wear my 5" Steve Madden high heels;)

Wee Bit of Me Wednesday
Following my friend cause I can't think of anything to write.
{one} If you were granted three wishes what would they be?
Hmmm...to live somewhere like Hawaii...that housework would be easy and enjoyable...and I'm gonna leave the last one open for emergencies;)
{two} Who is your favorite author?
I would have to say John Bunyan first. I can't think of any authors only good books. My all time favorite the one I read over and over is the Bible so favorite all time author, God:)
{three} What crowd were you involved in during high school?
I was in the Church crowd.
{four} What is your favorite thing to do when you have time to yourself?
When I have time I like to sew, cross-stitch and scrapbook. While I do these things I like to watch movies.
{five} Do you have any hidden talents?
I really don't think so and if I do they must be really, really hidden!
{six} Can you fake any accents?
yes, but only with Josh, I'd never do it in front of anyone else
{seven} Have you ever been mentioned in the newspaper?
I grew up in a small town so yep I've been in the newspaper a few times.
{eight} Have you ever been arrested?
Never been arrested, but I did take a ride in the back of a cop car!
{nine} What is your favorite job you've had?
Being a Mom, it's a had thankless job, but so far it's still my favorite.
{ten} Do you have any scars?
Emotional or physical?? I have both:)
On my knee I have this weird scar of lines and dots from when I stopped my bike with my knee.
And lots of stretch marks, my battle scars:)
Josh has way more scars than me, from chains saws and stuff, but the coolest one I want to tell you about is a body surfing scar from Hawaii. It looks exactly like the number 17!
(just a little scar trivia for ya;)
