day 10

ok I was out sick for a couple of day ... my husband has in now. So I skipped a few day but back on track and I really want to do this program for 30 days so gonna start at day 10 after recovering. Did the shred today wow my chest hurt and coughing but made it thru !!! Going to walk the dog tonight for 4 miles. Eating lunch now and going to shower then go to the grocery store !!! Need some more protiens !!!

Day 9

Still not feeling better. Thought the fever was gone but nope at 2pm it decided to come back. So not working out but sticking to my diet !!! Hope to feel better tomorrow want to shred and go for a hike in Tahoe !

Day 8

OK well I'm officially sick. My daughter is as well. We both have been running fevers over 101 and with meds and showers have been able to stick around 99. I read up and was told not exercise with a fever ugghh!!! Not that I feel like it but I feel like I made this commitment to work out everyday for 30 days. Maybe will take my 4 mile walk when the sun goes down. I can't shred tho but hey I did it two times one day so make up for one day lost !!! I did lose another .6 lbs today so happy about that. I made homemade ginger lemon green tea for us to drink. My daughter is not a fan but she drank it to get some homemade chicken soup lol. So not really hungry at all but know I need to eat so looking like soup today and grapes read they help with congestion never knew that well going to rest. Till tomorrow praying I feel better or at least lose the fever !!!

day 7

ONE WHOLE WEEK !!! DONE !!! I'm so excited I have lost inches already one week. Well sad new I'm getting a chest cold don't feel good at all. I did level two today but that is all ate well and kept my calories down. I did see a 2 lbs loss this morning hope that stick for tomorrow or even more would be awesome !!! Till tomorrow

Day 6

OK so went a little crazy today late morning I did the shred. Decided to do level 2... wow is all I have to say was not as bad as when I did level one for the first time. I'm really getting stronger. So I then after dinner took both of the dogs for a 4 mile walk. Then did the shred level 1 with Emily 9 at night so got a lot of calories burned. Really trying to have negative calories from what I take in and burn out. So we will see if you scale likes me tomorrow or better yet if I like the scale lol

Day 5

Did well today ate my correct % and ended up with 9 calories. After I deducted the shred calories burned and 4 mile walk/jog. Day 5 is getting easier on the workout don't want day 10 to come becuase then I go up a level. I'm eating alot of protien I feel like but seems to be working lost 2lbs in two days!!!

Day 4

Today was a great day !!! Got my laptop back together thanks to the husband. Also went for a hike after I shredded and really felt great. All meals went well was a nice day. watched a movie late so just wanted to blog before I hit the pillow. Here I come day 5 !!!

Day 3

Ok so I didn't go for my 4 mile walk lastnight went to a friends bbq. I ate before I went tho so I wouldn't be tempted. So todays workout is good I'm getting the hang of this. So I did pretty good on my ratios it is really tough to still to them so today I had 43.69% Protein 25.79 % carbs and 30.52% fat. So the problem is that I'm not eating enough calories was only 650 for the day ate alot of chicken and fish. So not much calories I guess. Have to figure this out in any one has tips let to know. So ok till tomorrow !!!

Day 2

OK wow this work out it great. Got it over at noon today ... then ate lunch. Was a little sore today but felt better over I used all those muscles again. So I'm suppose to eat 20% carbs, 50% protein, and 30% fat in food a day also staying around 1,000 calories it is hard. I didn't realize the carbs that are in fruit that was an eye opener. So I track all my food on livestrong.com and it has a cool pie chart that lets you know the breakdown. This helps out a lot. Also counts your calories for you. So I found out on Jillian's site yesterday filling out the form before she makes you pay lol. This is where I saw I should eat 20% carbs, 50% protein, and 30% fat. So I did my best today and actually would go log food before I eat it just to see what will work. So I know what I cooking for dinner and logged it with everything else I ate today and I ended up with 20.84% carbs, 49.01% protein, and 30.15% fat. Not bad for my first shot at it. I need to go to the store tomorrow and get more easy proteins to grab. I make shrimp skewers and use Mrs.dash to season and grill a bunch makes it easy to eat protein and I do turkey breast 99% fat free ground and season it with Mrs.dash and then portion them out 2 ounces and cook them up OK wow going on for awhile. Wanted to let you know about the carbs fat and protein ratios think this will help me out and maybe you !!! O and taking the dog for a 4 mile walk tonight after dinner !!! Till tomorrow

Day 1

Today I went to Best Buy and bought the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. I did the 20 min workout and wow it was tough. I was sweating pretty good lol. For only 20 mins it was to the point and I loved that. I have been walking/jogging 4 miles like 5 days a week with my dog. Been eating 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day. I needed to step it up without a gym. So this is my attempt to stay on track and help others. I saw a lot of before and after blogs with pics and this is what made me get it. So wanted to pass it on and use this blog to keep me on track. Hubby took the before pics not excited about sharing them but will after the 30 days are up and hope to see great results.
