So here we go.\u00a0 I need to drop 10 pounds.\u00a0 Well at least that is what I am guessing.\u00a0 We don’t have a scale.<\/p>\n

Dietary I think I do “ok”.\u00a0 I try to buy all organic and I have made a bigger effort to eat at home.\u00a0 We have swapped a lot of order out pizza for our homemade sweet potato\u00a0 pizza (shhh kids don’t know it has sweet potatoes in it).\u00a0 I also take a ton<\/em> of vitamins (I don’t eat red meat and I think I have finally found the combo that I was lacking), cut out all soda.\u00a0 I am now inspired to buy all our chicken from Whole Foods.\u00a0 I have not seen Food Inc. but I have heard enough make me run straight to WH for all things animal related.\u00a0 We have only drank organic milk for years.\u00a0 I need to switch our cheese as well.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, if I want a bowl of ice cream I will eat it.\u00a0 Because the truth is I have seen myself really skinny and it’s not the best look.\u00a0 I don’t think skinny looks good on anyone.\u00a0 But that’s just my personal opinion, and the reason I tell myself that giving up chocolate isn’t necessary.\u00a0 LOL.\u00a0 I do think being in shape looks good.\u00a0 So that is my goal.\u00a0 Maybe not really to lose 10 pounds, but to firm up the pounds I have.<\/p>\n

My gym work-out is getting boring and obviously not working.<\/p>\n

My plan is to step up the exercise and see if that helps.\u00a0 Try new things.\u00a0 But I am limited in what I can do with a 9 month old.<\/p>\n

I watched The biggest Loser for the first time ever the other night.<\/p>\n

Today I bought the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.\u00a0 You know, to shed.<\/p>\n

I even convinced someone to do it with me before his basketball game.<\/p>\n

We did level one- with his commentary cracking me up.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4830\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jillian looks hardcore in that picture.\u00a0 Blake gave up after level one, so I went on to level two.\u00a0 I figured out later that you are supposed to do one or the other, not both.\u00a0 Level two was harder- the walk-out push-ups.\u00a0 Ouch.<\/p>\n

I have to say the thing that I love about Jillian is she has a real body.\u00a0 She isn’t a toothpick.\u00a0 She is just solid.\u00a0 I’m not.<\/p>\n

But I want to be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So I only have enough workout pants for three days a week- and I don’t want to do laundry every day.\u00a0 So if I am going to step up the workouts, I need more workout pants.\u00a0 Because I have a fave, they look like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Do you think she got this body from working out, or just not eating… Right.\u00a0 It think so too.\u00a0 I love the water squirted on her chest to look like she is sweating.\u00a0 I look like that after I work out, don’t you?\u00a0 And what the heck is on her feet?<\/p>\n

Anyway- Andy that’s a hint for you- I need a couple more pairs of work-out pants!\u00a0 And the jacket is pretty cool too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
