Week 1: 30-Day Fitness Challenge

June 5, 2011

I have survived week one and if you are following along, so have you! Do I feel different? Not a lot, but I think I might be getting stronger….a little bit. So how did I do over the week? Not too bad, if I do say so myself.

  • Worked out to Jillian Michaels 30-day shred 6 of the 7 days
  • Golfed 9 holes
  • Walked 9.27 miles
  • Ate everything I wanted

My biggest weakness is treats. I’m beginning to think that the four cupcakes I ate yesterday was not the best idea. This week I’m going to try to cut back on some of the sweets and treats. How did you do? What is your biggest weakness? Get ready for week two!

30-Day Fitness Challenge

May 29, 2011

You know how women say that there is a certain age when their bodies changed. Well, I think I’ve reached that age, so for this month’s challenge I’m dragging myself off the couch and starting Jillian Michaels 30-Day shred.

Last night I took measurements of my waist, hips, upper arm, and thigh. I weighed myself and don’t plan to look at these numbers again until the end of the challenge.

Will I see “big results” at the end of my thirty days? Honestly, I don’t want to shed a lot of weight. I’d be happy with four pounds, but I’m interested to see if I get more toned and lose a few inches.

I also plan to combine the twenty-minute workout sessions with two-three miles of walking three times a week. I’m going to keep eating the foods I normally eat, and after thirty days I’ll see if I don’t look like Ms. Jillian Michaels. Lol

Join me in this 30-Day fitness challenge! You can pick any form of activity, just as long as you keep at it for thirty days. We’ll meet back up and report our success on June 28th. Good luck!

Someone’s Gotta Win, Why not Me?

May 2, 2011

Do you consider yourself lucky? A few months ago I purchased one of those scratch off lotto tickets and won $40.00. Usually my dollar is lost, but I consider it a fun diversion. While I like to think about what I would do if I won a large sum of money or a trip to the Caribbean, I don’t often enter contests. I figure that someone else will win. True. Someone will win, but why not me?

This month I’m entering every contest that is giving away something that interests me. No use winning something that I don’t want or need. Come and join me for this month’s challenge. I can’t wait to hear about the things we win!  I’ll update this post with the contests I enter.

  1. Resourceful Mommy is the queen mommy of giveaways. Right now she has a Sealy mattress giveaway that I would love to win.
  2. Shining 2 Save: $50.00 to use at pro flowers

  4. Return to Disney: Disney Gift Card, Castle picture, & Disney Parks DVD
