Join me on my Jillian Michaels Body Revolution journey!

Hello! Thanks for visiting this blog. I first read about Jillian Michaels Body Revolution on MyFitnessPal. Many people were comparing it to P90X, which I have always wanted to try, but didn't want to pay that much money, and I didn't like the length of the workouts. Body Revolution is supposed to be 90 days of 30 minute workouts. That, I can do.

I'm a stay at home mom to 2 little kiddos, ages 2 and 8 months. So I'm very busy. After I got married I was at a very happy weight of 135, but then I was on all different medications and had trouble with my thyroid and gained a lot of weight. After I had my kids I lost a lot of weight but never could get lower than 192. Right now I'm sitting at 195 ish, and it fluctuates. I just can't seem to get over this little hump. My dream weight would be to get back down to 135. 60 pounds to go. I don't realistically think that Body Revolution will make me lose 60 pounds. I am hoping to lose 25 pounds during the program. I'm excited to see how this will go.

Now, I am notorious for starting things and never finishing them. I don't want it to be the case with this. I have to succeed. I cannot stand the thought of not being in shape. I want to take my kids outside to the pool or to the beach without feeling ashamed. I would love to run with them on the sand and chase them outside without feeling my fat flubbering around. So I'm starting Body Revolution to change my life.

I will blog throughout the program giving you my stats and thoughts on the workouts. I don't have the dvds yet, they should actually arrive tomorrow. I'm so excited to begin. Once the program gets here, I will look it over and then I will make another post giving you all my (embarrassing) stats of my measurements and weight (eeek). I will probably start Body Revolution on Monday. My husband will be doing it with me too.

30 minutes a day. I can do it. Come on guys, leave me some encouragement here, and follow me. If you are looking to buy Jillian Michaels Body Revolution, this is the blog to read. I will post some before pictures as well (so embarrassing).

What do you do if you miss a workout?

What do you all do if you miss a workout? I used to always start my workout routines on a Monday and aim for one rest day a week on Sunday. Well, what would happen every time is that I would start my workout routine and then somehow miss a day and then say, "oh I'll just call that my rest day." but then something else would come up later that week. So I would get so "off-track" that I would think I messed up everything and start all over again. But then starting and restarting gets old so then I would just give up! I'm so over it. I'm no longer going to do that. From now on, I'm picking a program, doing each workout on the next day that I can and moving on to the next workout no matter which day it happens to be. With three little kids and a husband that works insane hours and homeschooling and taking care of the house and taking the kids to church events several days a week and etc... it is not going to be possible for me to keep up with that Mon

Body Revolution Day 60 of 90

Cardio 3. What can I say about Body Revolution Cardio 3?? Okay. So at first I thought, sheesh this is a piece of cake. No problem. The second time doing the exercises is was a little bit tougher. But by the third time doing the exercises, I was pouring sweat and felt worn out. Each exercise is only 20 seconds. I like that because a lot of the exercises were easy, but some moves were challenging. When you only have to do something for 20 seconds, its not that bad. You can do ANYTHING for 20 seconds. A lot of the moves you have seen before but I was excited to see some new moves. I really cannot express how much I love Jillian Michaels and her workouts. She is the perfect motivator for me. Some people don't like her approach or her language. But I need her roughness. I need her to yell and tell me not to quit. I love the little speeches she gives while I'm working out. I love that she constantly tells me I'm worth it. Because I am. And so are you. By the way. Cardio 3 beat ou

Body Revolution Day 12 of 90

I did it! I survived 2 weeks of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution! I feel strong and accomplished. I did cardio today and burned 271 calories in the 27 minutes.  Tomorrow is a rest day, but I will still be walking on my treadmill. Am I only doing Body Revolution? No, I walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes every day in addition to Body Revolution. I am also doing the Couch to 5K program 3 days a week. On those days, I don't do 30 minutes walking on the treadmill, I just do the 28 or so minutes of Couch to 5K. So basically I get an hour of exercise a day. My exercise time is my "me" time and I've grown to love it so much and crave it. My kids are so sweet but they exhaust me. An hour a day of time to improve myself is something I really look forward to. So even though tomorrow is a rest day, I will be walking on the treadmill. Monday marks the beginning of workouts 3 and 4, and it also means I'm halfway done with Phase 1. My clothes are beginning to look looser. One s
