I have two pairs of vibrams, and they are my go-to shoes. I wear them all the time, exercise or not. The thing is, though- I love being barefoot. I've always tried to wear minimal footwear (except the occasional sassy heels), so they really suit me. I have high arches, but since I've been wearing my vibrams, my feet are…

I have been keeping up, but the holiday weekend has been nuts, so I haven't checked in. Oh... remember that whole "shoulder injury" thing I was so worried about? Yeah... that totally happened. Blew out my right shoulder last night on a plank. I'm scooting back down to Level One, minus the push-ups... and no weights on the…

I didn't end up shredding last night, but I woke up at 430 this morning and did, so that was Day 3 of Level 2. Or day 13. It KILLS me that I should have been on day 19 by now, but I let myself get lazy and miss a lot of days. The planks are really hard on my shoulders, and I really don't love workout 2. I dread doing it…

Ideally 105-110 Realistically 110-120

That's quite a tale! Welcome to MFP :flowerforyou:

None of the folks in our group have been vegetarians until recently. The other haarguuard's sister moved to NC from WA right before Midsummer and I had no idea she was a vegetarian. The feast was the first time I met her, and she didn't mention anything about being vegetarian. I overheard someone else talking to her about…

I have to admit that I am getting totally off track. I didn't end up shredding last night- three days of insomnia caught up with me and I was completely wiped out. I haven't been tracking my food or anything either. However... I finally got a full night's rest and feel totally refreshed. I've been sneaking in little…

Very long day yesterday. I had to run errands all morning, then work, and I didn't get home until 1030, so I didn't shred yesterday. Back on track today though. Planning on running and shredding tonight :)

Again, close... but not quite. Mine is the 15th.

reeeeally close... Mine's the 15th. I share a birthday with MLK and was apparently born on the day of Heroic Inevitability. Go me :bigsmile: Isn't your name the name of a band?

Okay... I slacked off over the weekend and didn't work out at all (other than a little walking around), but no shredding or anything. I just got done with my second day of level 2. I should have been on day 4 today, but... whatever. Day 2 of Level 2 done. I feel like JM was pretty rough on my ankles during workout 1, and…

LOL!!! I used to make the kids watch iCarly with me so I could gawk at Jerry Trainor!! He's so cute!

Tory is dead sexy!! He's so funny- it's cute!

Sir Patrick Stewart :blushing:

I love butter. I could almost eat a stick of Kerry Gold unsalted like a candy bar. I don't though. That would be weird. And gross. I may have to try this. I like the idea of posting recipes. I've got some really good recipes that we use during feast days that aren't too bad for you :wink:

Day 1 of Level 2 done! I did try wearing my hiking boots this time, but I don't know if that's something I'll continue to do or not. I t really did help to stabilize my ankles, but they are so freakin' heavy!! No pics... sorry! This particular set doesn't seem to be as rough on my ankles as workout 1, but it may have been…

I only have two pairs of tennis shoes, both of them are awful. I just go barefoot, but do everything on my non-slip yoga mat so I don't slide. I considered giving it a go in my hiking boots, since they have ankle support. It might look a little ridiculous, but if it helps, why the heck not? It's not like anyone sees me…

Here is a really good link to help you keep your portions under control using your hands. http://www.hearthealthyonline.com/fitness/weight-loss/hand-guide-portion-control_ss1.html Stress causes me to mood-eat, but I'm actively trying to combat that by choosing to exercise instead. Whether it's wall push ups, a few jumping…

You look amazing!! And that suit is SUPER sexy, I wish I was brave enough for something like that. You look awesome, and you should totally show it off!

I am checking in to let everyone know I have skipped today, but my ankles already feel better, so I'll be moving on to level 2 tomorrow. I watched the video last night, so I know what I'm in for, and it looks like it could be really fun! If my ankles continue to hurt as much as they have, I may have to change up some…

This week is going well, so far. I've taken a couple of days off work to hang out with my oldest son before he starts back to school (7th grade, ack!) on Monday. It's been nice hanging out with him, and I've managed to catch up on some of the housework I've been neglecting. I've been good about tracking my food and…

I'm planning a quiet prayer and meditation in the woods behind my house. Nothing too fancy, I just need to get myself centered, and the blue moon is an amazing opportunity for that :)

@saramariebaby gorgeous skin!!

Just finished Day 10 of Level 1! My ankles are absolutely killing me... and not in a good way. I think I am going to take tomorrow off. I'm not scheduled to run until Friday, and since I've just finished Day 10, I think it's a good time to take a day off. I'm too tired to measure today, so I'm going to go soak in a hot…

Has amazeballs abs!

I promised this a long time back, but never actually got around to posting it. This is me at the beach about a month ago... so it's a before pic.... I had lost a little weight when this was taken, so the suit's a little loose. I've lost more now and it doesn't really fit me anymore :bigsmile: Edit: It doesn't even look…

Level 1 Day 9 ... DONE!! I'm sweating buckets, and I feel ready to take on the world!! Last day of Level 1 tomorrow :bigsmile: Has anyone else noticed that JM doesn't do the ab workouts... at all? She says she would do anything for abs like Anita's, well get on the floor and do some crunches, you demon :devil: !!!

Love that blog!

I'm the same way. I posted a long thing on my daily check-in about losing motivation, because the workout is getting a little stale. I've switched things up by challenging myself (upping my weights, going further into the moves, etc) and since I just finished day 8, I know I'll be doing a new workout soon! It also helps me…

LOL! I was thinking the same thing :laugh:
