I'm done.

I did not make it the full 30 days.


Why you ask?

Because Jillian Michaels is full of SHIT!

Yes thats right, SHIT, full of it, Jillian, she is!


I worked out hard, I ate right and I gained weight.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I went to the dr today for some issues and his scale read 162 (while mine at home read 157).
I'm just done.

My dr thinks I may have thyroid issues.
I'll find out by tomorrow or Thursday.
But in the meantime....I'm done.

Got that? Done.
Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. Done.

I may start this back up once I find out why I'm gaining weight for no reason and why my energy is in the shitter. But until then, fuck you Jillian Michaels. 20lbs in 30 days my fat ass!

day 20, level 3

Ok, first official day of level 3! I NEED to find my weights!
Where the hell did they go?!?!

Exercise will be done before bedtime and when the kids are in bed.
That's just how I roll.
Save my exercise for the time of day when I have the least energy.
Yup.

Gained a full pound due to my pizza bagel gorge last night.

Dare to dream.

I'm too lazy to go get my camera and upload.
But trust me. I was 157.6.
I would not lie to you.

Day 18

Exercise update:
O.M.G. I did level 3 tonight just to try it out (minus my weights, because they are MIA for some reason)
I'm dying.
Sweating.
My legs are very wobbly.
I have rug burn on my elbows because I have no mat.
My arms are burning and wobbly.
And I ended up flipping off Jillian at the end of the session.

----------------------

Man oh man, I'm still exhausted.
From what?
Couldn't tell ya.
I'm just T-I-R-E-D for no dern reason at all!


2 more nights on level 2!!!
I will be doing some Wii Fit tonight as well .... probably 10-15 min of step class and a round or two of hula hoop!


I woke up at 157.6 today!

I don't know. I thought I'd be back down to 152 by now (which is where I was holding steady for over a year before the holidays came along.)
Hopefully the next week will prove me wrong???? *shrugs*


Anywho ..... Hubby has not done level 2 with me at all. Wuss!
So I've been going at it alone and I think thats part of my "no motivation" thing I have going on.

I do see a slight difference in my lower back/muffin top area, sooooo Yay?!

Day 17

OK, I seriously just suck!
I won't lie. My period has kicked my ass this month.
The past 4 days I've literally woken up tired. Spent the days with no energy at all and have been eating like crap.

I dont know how much I weigh, I refuse to get on the scale until tomorrow.
I will do my best to motivate myself into starting back up tonight even though I'm just exhausted today.
I volunteer at church from 4-8 so I will do my exercise when I get home!

I WILL do this and see it to the end! I've skipped a few days here and there but when I do work out, I work damn hard and I can feel the difference!


I ate like total crap yesterday. I will go back and edit/update my eats from lunch/dinner.
I had a healthy dinner but then we hit a gas station after church and I went haywire!
I ate 3 out of 4 pieces of a individual pizza, half a bag of salt & vinegar potato chips and a Reeses Whipped candy bar.
I felt like crap afterwards. Serves me right I suppose.



Todays eats:

Breakfast:
2slices of toast w/crunchy peanutbutter
small glass of 2% chocolate milk


Lunch:
Balogna sandwhich with mustard/olive oil mayo & horseradish cheddar cheese
1 pickle
Diet Pepsi


Dinner:
Beef Roll-Ups (recipe coming)
Homemade mashed garlic ranch potatos
Mixed veggies (squash, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli)
Diet Mikes Hard Cranberry Lemonade

Snack:
Brownie

Snack:
Leftover veggies from dinner

BEEF ROLL-UPS RECIPE
1 package of skirt steak
Flour (any kind you like, I use wheat)
Spices of your choice (I use paprika, pepper, celery salt, garlic salt & Mrs Dash)
Crockpot
Toothpicks
Water or broth


Gather your ingredients


Mix your seasonings with your flour (how much you use of the seasonings and flour depends on how many roll-ups you're making. I make 4 roll-ups each time so I use 1 1/2 cups flour and 2tbsp of each seasoning)


Coat each steak really well, get your flour mixture all in the little holes and crevaces


Then roll them up and pin them together with a toothpick
Place in your crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours

(the bag in my crockpot are Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners ... best. invention. EVER!)

Usually the meat will make its own gravy so there is no need for water or broth. But depending on the cut it may not produce much.
If you check your roll-ups about 2 hours into cooking and see there is no "gravy" at the bottom of the pot and there is some dry flour on the meat, feel free to add up to 1 cup of water or broth.
When they are done cooking, if you see dry flour on them still, baste the dry flour with the "gravy".

Days 15 & 16

Well .... there was no day 15. *loser*
I think I skipped day 14 exercise as well *double loser*

Yestrday (day 15) we had a pretty good snow storm and no power for a good chunk of the day.
We hit the mall to get the kids some electricity and warmth and a hot lunch at the food court.

I woke up at 156.6 yesterday (woot)

Today I woke up at 158.4 (booo, hissss)

So yeah, I deserve to be fat right now. And I've made peace with that.

Today I'm getting back on the wagon with this shred. Day 16, here I come!!!!!

Day 14

Well. UGH!

I gained 2lbs. Scale said 158 this morning.
FTW

I know its normal to fluctuate and you're not supposed to weigh yourself everyday.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

I took a picture of the scale and of my lunch. But I lost my memory card.
No joke. I suck at life. :(

I set it on the computer desk as I was coming in here to eat. It somehow got knocked off the desk and is now M.I.A.

*pout* *cry*
(i also had about 47 pictures on it i took of my kids playing outside yesterday)


So anyway .... workout will be tonight after the kidlets are in bed.


I won't lie. I'm on my period and I feel like shit. I'm tired. I'm in a pissy mood.
And all I want to do is lay in bed watching tv with a giant bag of salt & vinegar potato chips and a huge bottle of chocolate milk.

My lower abs are slowly becoming not as sore as they were but I can still feel that they are being worked.
My back hurts. My arms don't feel firm. I'm not losing weight.
I think Jillian Michaels is sitting back, counting her money and saying "suckerrrrrrrrs!"

I had an "eff it" attitude this morning so I just ate until I was sick of it.
