Let's talk about the 30 Day Shred

Ok so I have done 3 days now, and let me just say I think I'm in love!!!!

I try to go to the gym but the reality is right now that is tough with baby G so I wanted something that I could do at home and not take up a huge amount of time. This is the answer (for me anyway).

It is 20 minuets. You literally only need light hand weights. I love it!!! I can get up and do it before work which is awesome. Plus I feel it. I mean I was sweating so much. I'm from the old school that says you need to sweat for it to be a good work out.

I feel my body changing when I'm doing it. I love the simplicity and the way it is broken down. I will try to fit it in everyday but if I don't I'm not going to beat myself up over it. If I can manage 5 days of working out I will be happy.

I have been doing the shred and then doing my 10 minute yoga after just to keep my muscles long and lean.

Here is something I have learned since having Grayson. Get it in while you can. I mean if I can do half an hour before work then it's already done and off my plate for the rest of the day. However if I have the opportunity to do another session later or even hit the gym after work, well that is just a bonus. But once I'm in the zone, I'm in it and hard core. I eat better, I sleep better, I just generally feel better.


Now there is a lot of talk about "clean" eating. I give huge kudos to anyone that can do this. I'm not at this point yet, and I honestly don't know if I ever will be. That being said I try to be conscious of what goes in my mouth.I meal plan my lunches and dinners and that even in just this week has stopped almost all of my mindless snacking.

So now that I have fallen in love with the shred I'm hoping I get my body back to where I like it in no time. And then it's a shopping spree for me!!!!

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
