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).

Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Review

A few years back, I was using the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor and loved it! I loved it all the way up until the battery died. Then you have to send it into the manufacturer for them to replace the battery. That is such a hassle. So I tried to pry the back open by myself without the tool, which ended up basically just ruining the device. Then I started using the body media fit, which I also loved, but didn't love the monthly subscription fee. A few months ago I bought the Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor  (affiliate link). You can change the battery to this one by yourself. I have to say that this is by far my favorite way to track my calories and heart rate during a workout. The body media I felt did a great job tracking the calories I burned, but it didn't tell me my heart rate. I'm a very visual person, so I absolutely love seeing all the data that the Polar FT7 gives me. It's important to me to see what my heart rate is during a workout to make sure it is not too high. ...

Restarting

Well. I am here again. Here as in blogging again. But here as in, overweight and unhappy, again. How many times will I go up and down with my weight? I was in the best shape of my life a year and a half ago. But so many things have stressed me out lately and I have had health issues. I haven't been as motivated to eat right or exercise. I haven't been consistent with any one thing. I go through this awful cycle of wanting to get in shape and having these ideas of what diet or exercise program I'm going to do, then do it for like a half a week and then get bored with it or totally hate it and so then I quit. Then the next month, I choose a different diet and a different workout program. And I quit. I can't get back into going to the gym. It's too expensive right now and I don't have the time to go with homeschooling and working from home. I also don't have the motivation to go unless I know a friend is going too. I always think back to when I first started th...

Can you do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution during pregnancy?

I have seen many people ask if they can do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution while they are pregnant. The obvious response is to discuss all diet and exercise plans with your doctor! Always, always, always check with your doctor. But if you want my personal opinion, Body Revolution is just not meant for pregnancy. There is a lot of ab work during the workouts and a belly would make that difficult. A lot of the strength and cardio moves are do able, but the big question is, why would you want to do Body Revoltuion during pregnancy? Sure exercise is important to maintain health while you are pregnant, but your body is changing in an awesome way during pregnany. Just enjoy that time, and worry about getting your body "revolutionized" after your baby is here and you are cleared for exercise. That way you can focus all your energy on getting your body in shape. It just doesn't make sense to buy a body changing program when you can't give it your all. But please don't d...
