Making The Cut
I bought this book, by Jillian Michaels (Biggest Loser) to help me get to my final weight goal (pre-Lil'c weight). I actually want to also be more toned and muscular than I was before I got pregnant with her. I plan on starting tomorrow and have been reading thru it. It is a 30day diet and fitness program. To "drop your last 10-20lbs once and for all" it claims. I really think she is pretty awesome, she seems to know what she is talking about and I love her on the Biggest Loser! This book cracks me up, the way she talks...so not like me. First off it is dedicated to the “Inner Bada** living inside of all of us”. Do "I" have one of those? LOL, I am so not like that! :) She also says stuff about getting "ripped" and how “H-E double hockey sticks, YES this book is for you”! Although I am a completely different woman than she is and I have slightly different goals, I think it will be a fun 30days and hopefully I will drop those last lbs!! I am not blessed unfortunately to just drop weight, I never had to be concerned about it before kids and well pregnancy is just not great for me, I gain like an elephant. So EVERY lb that I lose I have to work my butt off for and it is not easy or fast, but I learned to appreciate working hard for that and it feels good to accomplish it. So, I was reading over the physical test I am suppose to take to see if I am even ready to do her 30 day plan. One of the tests is to see how many push-ups you can do in a minute- I HATE push-ups, it was something I would always whine about under my breath when my trainer had me do it. It has been 2mos. since I worked out; I hope I can do at least one! Also, my trainer let me do 'girl' push-ups, but Jillian says "Girly push-ups? I don't want to even hear it-toughen up or go buy someone else’s book!" Yikes, she is all about kickin' your butt! - But I kind of like that… maybe I really do have an inner bada** in me! J/k. We shall see I guess, when in 30days I am RIPPED! (For real, I may have bought the wrong book)

Good luck Celeste! Brock and I just started working out last week. I'm just trying to tone a little but since I have worked out ummm NEVER it is kicking my butt! But it feels good and it's nice to work out w/ my honey. He shows me what to do and moves the weights for me when its my turn. :) haha! Love you! See you next week at R's party!
PS- I love reading your blog. :)
Thanks Ashley! :) I cannot believe you have NEVER worked out!
How nice of Brock to do that for you :) . When J and I go to the gym together, we pretty much go our seperate ways. I think he is going to do this challenge with me - he says he is ready to start eating right and get healthy. He is so funny - he is my biggest obstacle when it comes to that, always bringing home ice cream or getting the sweet cereals. In the past he has hated my healthy food. Oh well, at least he is ready now! We will see how it goes
