No Ma'am, I'm not pregnant.

Happy Monday everyone!  Let's talk about trouble spots.  (Areas of your body that drive you crazy.)  I'll start.  I'm ok with my arms and legs.  They are not super model material, but they are arms and legs that belong me.  My hips are my Mama's hips, and are never going to be tiny.  (Sorry Mom, but it's true.)  I know this, and I'm ok with them too.


My main spot that drives me crazy??  My abs.  (or what used to be my abs....)  Two 10 pound children wrecked havoc on them, and I have never been the same.  Any and all weight I gain goes straight there. I HATE when I get the "Omgosh you're pregnant!!  I didn't know!  When are you due?"  (Yes, it has happened.  Multiple times.) I mostly feel bad for the person who asked, but it does sting a little too.  I try to hide it, but it's hard.  Lately Spanx have been my go-to fix, but who wants to wear spanx when it is 100 degrees outside, am I right?  :) 



This blog isn't all depressing, I promise.

I also want to update you on how Jullian Michaels and I are getting along.

I yell at her a lot.

But I am still doing it!  Today marks 3 weeks I have been doing the 30 day shred.  I have missed a few days here and there.... sometimes a Mom's day is just to busy to give up even 20 minutes.  Field trip day to the zoo?  Yard sale day?  It's ok.  I'm not beating myself up about it. 

I am still on level 1.  

I'm not going to lie to you either.  It's hard work.  That is the difference I am finding this time around.  If you want to make a change, you have to be dedicated.  I'm not going to wish myself healthy. I have to do something! 

So, I know you are still reading because you want to know my results....right?  I have lost 8 pounds.  I have lost two inches off of my waist.  (WOO-HOO!!!!) I have lost 1 inch off my thighs, 1 inch off of my bust, and nada off of my hips.  (Ahem, see "Mama's hips" above.)  The best thing is, I am seeing my body change.  I'm not just losing weight, I am toning too at the same time.  I can feel and see it.  This will last a lot longer and is so much healthier than if I had starved myself these last 3 weeks.  

Till next time friends!

I am with you, but it gets harder the older you are. At 50 something, its more of a Life Style Change for me than a diet. I am getting there though. Cheering you on!

Karen, that is AWESOME! I laughed when I read about you measuring only 1 leg....I do too! There could be crazy things going on with that other leg and I wouldn't have a clue! Thanks so much for your support!

Cheryl, thanks for the cheers. Btw, I've seen you lady, and you look FABULOUS! ;)
