I get so fired up and then I run out of steam. I'm taking Atkins and exercise one day at a time. So far so good. I'm into day 3, I haven't cheated at all. I want to have a clean induction!

I started Monday with a starting weight of 164. I step on the scale all the time, but I will officially weigh in on Mondays.

That is all. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/832-im-back.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/338-10-13-08.html Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:51:53 GMT I have not done Shredded this whole weekend. I did exercise though. I just don't feel the motivation to do it right now. I did lose weight though by exercising. I have to do measurements tomorrow since I skipped yesterday. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/338-10-13-08.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/334-ive-been-bad.html Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:09:10 GMT I have not been a good girl doing Jillian. I only seem to want to do it when my husband isn't home. Our bedroom is too small to do her 2 lvl tape so I haven't done it for the past two days. I will do so tomorrow since he is at work, and he'll be at work for the weekend too.

I have been doing exercises though. I do ab exercises, I do her circuits but I don't do as many. So I am happy to say I still think I'm losing inches. We'll see on Sunday. If not, then I'll be more strict with Jillian. I am at 156, but I drink salted water so that weight won't stay for long. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/334-ive-been-bad.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/328-back-30-day-shred-day-day-7.html Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:12:57 GMT Well I think the weekend is going to be my rest time for 30 day shred. I seem to want to do this during the work week because I'm stressed. I'll update when I've actually done the exercises.

O.k. I decided to do level 2. It.Kicked.my.butt! I think I'm going to do this one for 12 days to even be able to get through the routine. I was dying and had to stop several times to catch my breath. I do like this one better because they have no stupid side lunges. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/328-back-30-day-shred-day-day-7.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/322-day-6.html Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:57:15 GMT Yes, two entries at one time. I couldn't go to sleep last night, so I decided to do 30 day shred at 6:00 in the morning. I stopped more in the morning. So I plan on doing the DVD again tonight.

Tonight I plan on punching really hard I am trying to lose the fat creases on my back. Ugh! I measure in on Sunday. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/322-day-6.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/321-day-5.html Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:44:59 GMT I forgot to post yesterday and didn't realize it until early this morning. But I am checking in to report that I have completed the Shred DVD for day 5.

I don't know if I feel any different or if my endurance is better, but I do know I don't have to stop at all for cardio. I can also do 1 set of push ups (knees of course) without stopping. I guess that might be progress.

I have five more days to go, well actually four now. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/321-day-5.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/317-day-4.html Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:01:38 GMT I didn't do walk away the pounds today. I had some car issues, so by the time I got home I was starving (lunch was bad). So I ate two cheeseburgers without the bun, and some brussels sprouts. I did do 30 day shred. I had a mini milestone today. I was able to do one whole set of pushups without stopping. I did pause for a few seconds on the second set, but I didn't stop nearly a much as yesterdy. I even banged out the bicycle ab exercise without stopping.

I wanted to stop my abs were burning, but I didn't. I am happy with my little bit of progress. Tomorrow will be my halfway point on level one. I will also do my walk away the pounds tomorrow. I still feel like a jiggly mess, but hopefully by the end of this program some inches will have melted off of me. Hopefully I can burn off a pant size getting me down to an 8. I'd love a 6 but I might be stretching it. lol. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/317-day-4.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/313-day-3.html Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:16:26 GMT I'm tired. Did day 3. I walked out the room and my husband told me "it looks like you kicked your own ***". I feel like it too.

I didn't even do walk away the pounds. I'm scared because tomorrow I'll be doing both tapes. I hope I have some results, because I feel sore, and I hope that this has been helping me.

Mind you people I'm only on level 1 day 3. Seven more days to go. :frown::confused::oops:


Tired..tired...tired. I'm going to eat some chicken and Brussels sprouts. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/313-day-3.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/311-day-2-exercising.html Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:58:07 GMT I can barely see straight.

I did the Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds 3 mile along with 30 day Shred. I am tired. I couldn't do a set of the push ups and I had to stop more than I did yesterday. But I got through it.

Tomorrow, I will just be doing Jillian. I think I'm going to be a bit sore tomorrow.

I'm cooking dinner now. Some chicken breasts with veggies. I didn't lose or gain again with the veggies, so I'm in week two, to isolate veggies to see if I lose. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/311-day-2-exercising.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/309-day-2.html Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:10:36 GMT I haven't done the exercises yet as I am at work, but I am sore today in the upper body. My sides are tender (not super sore) my chest, and upper arms are a bit tender as well. That is probably because of the push-ups. Those are hard.

Will report back later about the exercising. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/309-day-2.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/308-day-1.html Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:34:39 GMT Today is day one of my Jillian Michaels shred video.

My waist is: 36 inches as of 5:30 this evening
Bust size is: 40.5 inches/32 inches.
weight is 158.5


Background info:

I have had Jillian's video for 2 months, and attempted to try the video this past summer. I was really out of shape and gave up after trying it twice. Now I am determined to work out everyday for the 30 days. I will also add walk away the pounds 3 mile walk three times a week. I will do the walking first because I can actually do the whole video without wanting to die, and I don't think I could go from Jillians to Leslie's video.

And there you have it. I started today:

Day 1:

Finished the first level. I stopped 4 times for 5 seconds each. I pushed myself through the exercises and tried my hardest to finish.

The toughies were:

Push-ups
Side Lunges with the weights.

I'm a bit tired but I made it. ]]> brightstar7801 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/brightstar7801/308-day-1.html
