Because I can feel them under all this fat and they are KILLING ME!!
For a couple of weeks I have been reading workout blogs. The 30 day shred seemed interesting. After our treadmill died, I searched the net for things I could do at home. We do have 2 gyms here on base and they are GREAT! Many classes are offered, with a wide array of teachers. For me I need to be able to workout at home. With 3 kids, school, and a house finding time to hit the gym is difficult. I found myself using that as an excuse to not workout. OH, well no time today, so maybe tomorrow.
Then a friend suggested I try looking for workouts that I can do at home, with NO big gym equipment. Well I have found it. Or 3 to be exact. I started doing Tabata training and adding in a 20 min ab workout. After 2 weeks I felt good. It was working. I am dropping about 2 pounds a week. Then I found a blog (from Fairly Odd Mother) the 30 days shred. OMG! Talk about HELL. I ordered the DVD, and until it arrives I am doing the shred from youtube. I managed to stay upright when it was required and thanked God in heaven when it was time to lie on the mat. After doing the first day I can say my treadmill did NOTHING for me strength wise. I plan to do this for 30 days, along with my ab routine. In the evening I can still toss in some Tabata (it only takes 4 minutes). I wish I could be brave an post before pictures. But, that is so not going to happen. No back fat pictures today. I did take pictures this morning for my benefit. I plan to do this every day for 30 days. Then take more pictures and see where I am. I plan to do this every day for 30 day! If I keep saying it, it will be true!

WOOT You GO GIRL! It is SO hard to get back into it, especially with kids. but you can do it! I am determined to stay true to my 10 minute trainer. And it must be working b/c my body is killing me! But yeah, before photos on the web? So overrated.....
Just show me those AFTERS girl!
LOL, should I send you my photo so you can glare at it while you work out? It will get easier, promise! It took me almost to the end of Level 1, but it suddenly seemed almost "easy". I just finished Level 2, and even that gets doable.
But, today, I (whimper) start Level 3. Halp!
Ok, I'm always looking for a new workout routine so I don't get bored, because that's a HUGE problem for me (almost bigger than my butt). So thanks for the intro to these, I'll definitely look them up!
You're brave too! I'm not sure it's for me yet. I finally got most of the weight off that I put on around the holidays. A whole body detox helped me feel better but it's Spring and I have allergies. Maybe I'll start walking when I stop sneezing!
Keep up the good work!
Hugs!!
I can't even feel mine. Snort.
WTG! I have no abs. I can actually push through my squishy stomach and grab my spine. I'll be working out vicariously through you!
I have a little something at my blog to add a little Sun Shine in your day!
And what do the Japanese do to get/stay in shape? There must be something quirky or different that they do. Surely they take an American idea and make it their own. Please, advise!
