I've spent a great deal of time the past couple of weeks traveling between my parents and my house, doing hours of yard work at both places. Those days are going to kill me, cause I honestly don't feel like doing it. I had planned to start yesterday, but I spent 5 hours in the car, did a 2 hour photo shoot and an hour of yard work at their house. By the time I got home I was exhausted. So I started today. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the summer. But my theory on the shred is, even if it takes me longer than 30 days... I'll still get results and have the gratification of finishing it at some point.

I missed Monday day four. I went to the gym at lunch time and it was so tough 3 or 4 times tougher than usual. Which made me decide to skip shred and bootcamp that evening. I did level 1 Tuesday am and level 2 in the evening. I feel better after having Monday evenings rest. I think it's important if you miss a day just to make sure start again right away the next day.

And for me work and other exercise are my obstacles but mainly the fact I can't get out of bed... I'm terrible at it I always have been! The best time to do shred would be before work but I haven't managed it yet!

I also discovered other obstacles while doing it today - the kids and dogs. Seriously dog - do you have to try and sniff my face when I'm doing crunches?! Yes, I know I'm in the floor and that usually means free reign for you. And the 15 month old kept walking up to me while I was doing jumping jacks and bouncing off my leg then falling down and getting mad. And push ups, the 4 year old thinks it is open season for piggy back rides. Pretty sure he will be repeating "dude, get off me" for about a week now. All I can say is I'm glad I had the curtains closed today, cause I'm sure my workout looked like a 3 ring circus.

I usually wait until the youngest goes down for a nap, but today I wanted that time to do some other stuff. Bad choice on my part!

My doggie gives me kisses during crunches, too! I think he's confused

I missed day 2 but I've been planning to do 2 workouts in 1 day to try and make up for it.
Planning to do it within level one but the that means I will have to do it soon and its hard enough getting the one in.
Every night I say I will do the workout in the morning before work... but I can't bring myself to getting up any earlier than I have to.
Morning work out means out of bed at 5:30ish...
I wish I was a morning person.
I'm hanging in though, making my way through the distractions... kids, dog, etc...

I have three kids and my two oldest were on spring break a couple of weeks back. They were gone for the whole week with their dad, but I used it as an excuse not to do it because my routine was off. I usually do my workout after I get the kids on the bus, but they weren't going to school so I blew it off. Then I was eating crap all week and being horrible, so I felt guilty and ashamed and didn't want to log my food. :ohwell: I got back on track but have been struggling with the same things, and I'm basically sabotaging myself. Hoping that I can get it together and get myself into a constant routine. I did try on a pair of pants that is one size smaller than my size and managed to fit into them today, so I'm really excited about that. I can use that as motivation.
