No more 30Day Shred

This weekend was fun, Saturday we helped my mom paint her house and Sunday husband and I went shopping in the afternoon. While we were out we treated ourselves to a Honeydew Bubble Tea and Chinese pineapple sweet bread. YUM! But not part of my diet plan of course hahha!

I decided not to incorporate the 30 day shred in my work outs any more. The jumping up and down made me feel sick more than once and it hurts the knees! It's a great work out and works well in toning. But I rather do my Gazelle and Ab lounge. :)

Today for lunch I had 12 whole grain crackers with Veggies. I'm really liking this combo and I buy all different types of veggie packages for variety.

This week, is week 2 of the Nuplus shake and Calli Tea cleanse. So far so good , and nuplus shakes are so easy to make, love that!

Weekly goals :)

* 5 Days a week Nuplus Shake for BF - 1 slice of toast for mid-morning snack.
* Only 1 medium coffee a day
* 5 days a week of home cooking, include many "green" veggies.
* Drink lots of water everyday! A MUST!
* Tracking calories on Iphone "my fitness pal app)
* 3 bite rule on sweets
* 3 days a week basement work out/ or jogging. Weather is getting nice!
* No fast food! (no burgers, no fries, no pop!) :)
* 5 days a week Calli Cleansing Tea

Sunny @ thatextra20pounds sent me many different recipes with the Nuplus packages. Nuplus has 14 Chinese all natural fruits and vegetables in a packet. Yesterday I didn't have any of the ingredients to make the yummy berry shake in the pic above, so I mixed the Nuplus package with milk and a squirt of nesquik for a chocolate milk and it tasted great! :) In the top picture I blended frozen berries with milk,1 yogurt pkg and 1 Nuplus pkg to make a shake for tomorrows BF. Sunny's recipe does not include the yogurt, and I think I will listen and leave it out, it makes it a little too frothy, sorry Sunny, I never listen ahaha!! :)

30 day shred friends...


30 day shred friends. How are you liking it? So I've been doing it for 2 months now, for an average of twice a week. Some times only once a week. My issues: If I have anything in my tummy, the jumping around makes me sick! If I'm on one of those off days where energy is low, the up and down movements make me dizzy! Are you having these same issues? I've been slowly moving away from the DVD and doing other exercises. Let me know your thoughts :)


For tomorrows work day snack I added a lot of cucumbers, carrots and cantaloupe. :)

I'm really trying to get healthy on the inside. I started taking a multi vitamin and I have my B12 shots every Wednesday. I also ordered from a blogger friends store. I'm ordering a nuplus powder full of nutrients to make healthy shakes and a Tea called Calli Tea for cleansing. Read more on her Site here.

Let's get healthy! ;)

Ahh just loved having this extra day off, I think every Monday should be a holiday :) heehee I can wish. We woke up late today, made breakfast at home, watched the Olympics and enjoyed fresh cut fruit... Wish everyday was as relaxing as today :)

The last couple weeks I did not follow my goals to a T, But I also did not do sooo bad. No weight gain so that is good :)

For dinner I made a delicious stir fry full of veggies and Shrimp.

Not ready for level 2

Enjoying a hot cup of tea and feeling the pain...OUCH! Last night I did Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred DVD. As the day progressed my body got more sore and more sore. I can't lift my arms and my legs...ouch! It's a good burn, but I think I will go back to Level 1 for a couple more weeks ahahah.

This week I did well in keeping my calories between 1300-1600. However today I'm not sure what my calories were, it was a Friday eat out day we had Sushi for lunch and Chinese for dinner. Hopefully I can keep it together this weekend.

Hope you all have a great weekend. We have a cold alert in Toronto, tonight it's -13°C , -21°C with windchill BURRR so I will be keeping warm!!

Weekly goals and a new mat :)


Yesterday I bought a new mat, a thicker one. So I can be more comfortable doing abs and arm raises when doing my 30 shred workout. I have not gone on the scale in a little while but I do see my arms, legs and abs getting more defined. So even though this DVD is kicking my butt leaving me so sore the next day, I love it and it's working! :)

This weeks goals are:
* 5 days a week of home cooking ;) (I'm doing really well with this goal)
* 1300 - 1600 daily Calories intake (Tracking on Iphone "my fitness pal app)
* Limit Sweets, use 3 bite rule (Not really working out well, so I need this reminder)
* No FRENCH FRIES (yes, I still need a reminder for this)
* 3 days a week basement work out (Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video)
* 3 days a week 10000 steps on the pedometer
* loofah body scrub to enhance circulation (my skin is becoming verrry soft :)

Wordless Wednesday and Update

I only have a wordless picture along with words below on my diet update :)

30 day SHRED OMG! I'm still on level 1 and I still can barely walk the next day after I workout. I do it 3 times a week and I'm feeling my muscles toning whoohoo!

(Don't forget to enter in my giveaway HERE.)

This week I am doing really well on my calorie counting so I am proud of that and I'm not having any grumpiness either! I do however feel tired, but then again I have been going to bed really late. I'm so busy when I get home from work and then finally I get down time later in the evening and I love reading my blog friends posts so I end up staying up so late. zzzz I need more sleep.

Coffee>>Before the holidays I really started to kick the coffee habit but because of the holidays I started drinking more of it. I currently have only 1 coffee in the morning but I find myself craving it in the afternoon, I rarely give in to that crave but really why am I craving another coffee!. (hmm obviously because I'm soo tired but still - So strange.)

Well I'm glad it's Thursday well in 20 mins. I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

Hope you are having a great week!!

30 day shred update

If you are like me you are sad the weekend is over :(. I had a really good weekend, I hope you did too!

To end a good weekend my husband and I went for a ride north to the apple farm to buy apple pie :) I'm doing really well with my calories sooooooo a piece of apple pie is well deserved. ahah! :)

Ok I know many of you are also doing the 30 day shred... What a workout! and I'm still only on level 1!!! If you are considering getting the DVD, I say what are you waiting for!!?? Go get it! And all you need is a mat and weights :) as the DVD says ahah!
For those of you just beginning, one tip I can give, is to really pay attention to Jillian, she gives really good tips on technique and boy when you follow her words you feel it! Especially the last Ab workout... you know what I'm talking about :)

Do any of you know how many calories are burned in the 30day shred levels? I guess it would depend on our individual body weight as well hmm I'll be googling that now.

For lunch this week I'm switching back to wraps, I want to switch it up weekly so I don't get bored :) I'll post on that tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone.

Ouch! Jillian Michaels Kicked my butt!

I remember other bloggers writing about this DVD Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, but never made the decision to get it. Last week my good friend over at Confessions of a Diet-aholic started tweeting about her amazing workout with the 30 day shred DVD. So on Monday I went to get it.

Last night I prepared my mat and weights (5lbs, much too heavy, I went out to buy 3lbs today ha!) I am now pretty much turning my whole basement into my workout area ahah.

Well... I started Level 1 yesterday and at the beginning I thought, PIECE OF CAKE! By the end of the dvd I was out of breath and all sweaty and it's only 20mins! It was great!

Today... I can barely walk. My legs and bum are soo sore and my arms and shoulders are sore and stiff.

Great workout! I'm making a new list of 2010 goals and I'm excited!
