I'm still kicking

Sorry I haven't been blogging on here. I actually started my own blog. I have been getting my 30 minutes in each day. I just finished doing ripped in 30 and I would say I lost about 10 pounds. I don't know for sure because I'm not weighing myself for a whole year! Starting tomorrow I get Shredded for 30. I'm so excited. Well I just thought I'd update you guys. I'm so excited to see you soon! Love you.

Tomorrow is the last day of Level 3

I'm so excited I have one day of level 3 left. 5 days at level for and then bye bye July. Then I'm getting shreded in August. Yay for fitness!

10 Days down 10 to go!

I've reached the halfway mark! I'm doing Jillian Micheals Ripped in 30 5 days a week this month. Then next month it's 30 day Shred for 6 days a week! I'm so excited!

Week Two Day Three

Yay I got my workout in bright and early this morning. I'm already starting to notice some changes... like I can actually do a push up :) I can't wait to see how strong I am at the end of the month.

Much TOO HOTTTTTT

I'm not doing my workout this morning because it is much too hot. Yesterday it got up to 97 degrees IN THE HOUSE! This morning its already 82. I am not a fan of summer. I am ready for fall.

Week Two Day Two

I'm having a great morning. I got my workout in. Ate a delicious nutritious breakfast. Took a shower and got dressed. Now I'm chilling here on sparkpeople. I hope you all have a fantastic day as well :)

Completed my workout this morning. level two is definitely harder than week one. I would say my heart pound harder last week but this week was all crazy plank moves and lots more weight work. I just can't wait to see where I'm at at the end of the week. Have a fantastic Sunday!

Week One Done

I have the best husband in the world. When it came time to Jillian this morning I was just not feeling it. But he encouraged me and now I'm sitting here in liquid awesome. lol. Week one complete!

A New Year

I've officially been in Montana for a year! It's been a great year, meeting a marrying my husband. Experiencing something new. And Montana is truly one of the most beautiful places. When I first moved here I was super eager to lose weight. I was living with my extremely health conscious sister and I was determined that she could change me. And I did lose some weight by simply eating her more natural meals. Then I started a job at a campus dining hall. Which means all the free food I could eat. I gained weight. It may not have been the jobs fault but I had very little self control. I no longer work there and I honestly think that helps. I am still striving to achieve my goals even though I'm currently at my heaviest weight. But Now is the time for change. I've been watching my calories and working out with Jillian Micheals. So I'm excited to see the change. Not only physically but mentally and emotionally :)

Fierce Queens of the Road

I just completed the book "Wild".  Cheryl Strayed hikes the Pacific Coast Trail solo. She trying to coming to terms with regrets and sorrows that she had in her life.  Somehow in the journey she found it within herself....well, in my words- to stop regretting the past or fretting the future.  She is learning to 'just be' by living in the moment step by step.   I related to her so much.   One thing she stated is that she felt fierce after conquering her quest.  I felt in inspired by her and thought if she can do such on foot, then I can do it on my motorcycle.  Mile by mile leaving regrets and frets behind.
Yesterday, I felt a bit discouraged and overwhelmed.  I hated ending the month with this feeling.  I was concerned about my apartment renting ( I need my deposit back).  I really want to sell my bed and make some money off that. And I felt uncertain about taking this road trip solo.
This morning when I flipped to my vision page I saw the center focus is "The Fierce List".
And the headline is "Queens of the Road".  I thought with dissapointment,"Well, it should say Queen of the Road because I"m going it solo". But I got an email followed by a phone call.  I put it out there on Sturgis.com that I was going solo and when I was leaving.  A woman, Amanda, contacted me and said "We need to talk!"  Turns out we are  an answer to each other's prayer!  We are going the same way at the same time.  She is coming from NYC to California.  Amanda is also from Michigan!
What a MAGNIFICENT OUTCOME. Amanda has already done the research and has paved the way for me to know what do to prepare for this trip.
And a girl stopped to see my apartment and she wants it and she wants the bed! MAGNIFICENT!
How exciting! What an awesome start to a new month.  Here's to July!
