I’M BACK!
Happy as a clam and super duper motivated.
Rah Rah Rah, L-E-T-S G-O, Let’s Go! Let’s Go!
I WILL finish this thing, as it’s been said, BY THE BOOK.
Tracy, you ARE and ALWAYS will be the boss of me.
Dude.
Who was that chick yesterday, and how much of a downer was she?
Seriously, what was her deal?
Withdrawals can make a person crazy I tell ya.
Just watch Celebrity Rehab.
Anyway, thanks for the motivation and sweetness.
As always, it made ALL the difference.
Now let’s talk about boobs and biceps, shall we?
One of the things I noticed when I started to gain weight was while my thighs became more familiar with each other, the one fun change was that my itty bitty boobies started to fill in!
It was like being back in High School all over again….
{ahhhh, those were the good boob before kids ruined them days}

Since having Chloe, I’ve had two full years to come to terms with being small chested, even writing about it, (i have small boobies and i cannot lie), but actually, I gotta admit it was kinda fun filling out my training bra for once.
And anyway, if my tummy is going to grow, it’s only fair that my boobs match in size, yes?
So, there’s a tip for ya!
If you can’t afford a boob job, GAIN WEIGHT!
It totally works.
Anyway, today as I was getting busy on the mat (not like that!), I noticed that the boobage was not nearly as there as it used to be. But then as I turned to activate my opposing forces (TA talk. Ya, I’m that cool), I noticed something I would gladly exchange my boobies for.
BICEPS!
Cute little compact biceps, and they were on my own body.
The dimples are disappearing and muscles are taking their place.
The dimples are disappearing and muscles are taking their place.
And I am so so okay with that.
And it’s only been 7 DAYS!
Results = Motivation, and I am motivated!
Rolls on the belly also = Motivation, so yes that helps me continue forward as well.
So today I had a new found energy, and it was well welcomed.
Food:
Another morning with Bethany as we ate mushroom omelets together.
She is a master at those now.
While I’m not loving mushroom, I don’t hate them anymore either.
And I find that it helps to chop them up really tiny so that the weird texture is hidden….Thanks Bethany.

Speaking of Bethany, we decided that on Tuesday, (our next breakfast date), we’re gonna take some pictures for you guys….and maybe, if we have the time, a video….
The rest of the days meals were fine, not a single one was my favorite, not like the Chicken Mango, but food is fuel, and my tummy was satisfied.
Dinner, the salmon salad, was probably my favorite.

Workout:
Because today was my grocery shopping day, I was short on time to work out.
So to make sure I got the full benefit of fat burning, I strapped on the ankle weights and then proceeded to keep them on for all my leg and ab work.
35 reps on legs, 40 for abs.
And then I did the arm portion twice, which btw, is about 5 minutes total.

I did it you guys!!!
I did 7 days in a row without cheating or swaying from Tracy’s rules AT ALL.
Maybe I’M kind of a big deal.
Oh, so get this.
While I was watching Tracy Anderson on YouTube for my workout, Chloe comes out of her room and runs to the computer.
Excitedly she points to her and yells, “Mommy!”
Excitedly she points to her and yells, “Mommy!”
Um, ya, so guess who’s my favorite child today?
Yes, Chloe, go run and tell everyone that Mommy looks EXACTLY like that.
Good girl.
So what if she’s two, she’s obviously brilliant.
This weekend Jimmy’s home, which will be really helpful.
He’s been so supportive, even eating all the lunches and dinners with me, so that will definitely keep me on track.
Plus, he’ll be able to fend off the kids while I’m able to add more reps to my mat work without the end of naps signaling the end of my workout.
Only 3 days left.
Of this sequence, and then only two sequences left!
Kind of important!
Before I leave for today, I wanted to share this one thought I had about our weight and numbers…
(yes, blah, blah, blah)
But because I know the numbers can trip us up sometimes, I wanted to offer this encouragement.

But because I know the numbers can trip us up sometimes, I wanted to offer this encouragement.
Nobody but us knows our numbers, our weight, our height, our measurements, our income….
People can only see by looking at us and knowing us, how HEALTHY we are, how HAPPY we are, how SELFLESS & KIND we can be….etc.
I believe if we pay more attention to THOSE things then we will be make a difference and impact lives.
INCLUDING OUR OWN.
So, don’t get down when your doing the work and the numbers aren’t changing.
Remember that it’s about getting healthy and happy and improving our lives so that we can work at being better in others.
Amen.

This is seriously so inspiring and I’m pretty sure you’ve convinced me to jump on the Tracy Anderson train. I’ve done quite a bit of Jillian’s 30 Day Shred (which I like) but I looked up Tracy’s book and liked the way it started . . . so thanks for the tips and congrats on your progress!
I can’t wait to see you through to the end… I am taking notes and I will be doing this as soon as I stop nursing my little monster.
Go summer go
you know your are hardcore when you are waving bye bye to boobage with your nicely tined arms!
We’re so opposite on the weight/numbers philosophy it’s good though it shows a balance. I’m very quantitative so I need to measure something, whether it’s weight measurements percent body fat anything.
Eg tomorrow morning I will gladly be measuring my ever shrinking cleavage 🙂
Congrats on making it through week 1, love reading your views on it
<3 Jen
way to go! it’s so exciting you’ve come this far and already had results. after this 30 day series you’ll have a killer bod and a killer sense of self worth and strength. perfect for taking over the world in 2011 🙂
Go go go!!! =) I know you can do this! I’m just waiting on my trampoline and hitting the food store and then officially starting – looking like Monday. Hubs has an appt and the kiddo will be at school so I’ll have a nice quiet morning to start my kick-off, lol. I know what you mean about the boobs! Mine didn’t really change in size but they are not what they were before my son… sigh. Maybe Tracy will come out with some magical exercises for boobs! One can only dream. I just got her PD series from Gilt the other day and am so excited. I have a few of the first DVD’s too. I’ll be joining you soon! You are doing awesome!!!!
