To post or not to post, that is the question?

Tomorrow the 30 Day Shred Challenge is coming to a close. I have taken the before pictures with me in a sports bra and shorts and I took the after this morning. Yes it's a day early, but I won't have time this weekend and I don't think there will be that much difference in one day. After looking at the before and after, I can see a dramatic difference. Should I post them on my last post? Does anyone even care to see? As always, I also took the pictures in my workout clothes and will post those. Let me know what you think?

30 Day Shred Challenge - Day 28

Good workout this evening. With only two days left, it will be the hardest two days for me. My best friend Jeanna is coming for a visit this weekend and arrives late tomorrow night. Friday, Jeanna & I head down to Santa Barbara for the Santa Barbara Half Marathon. While I'm not running in it anymore, Jeanna is. So that means I will have to find time to get my workouts in. My last post with my thoughts and pictures probably won't be up until Sunday. 2 more days!

30 Day Shred Challenge - Day 27

I decided to go ahead and get my workout in, while Taylor took her afternoon nap. I had a lot of energy, so I thought it would be good to get it out of the way, before I started to drag from the day. By the end of the workout, I can guarantee that all of my energy is depleted. Good thing I got everything done that I needed to, because I don't think I will be moving too much this afternoon.

Ten on Tuesday

I really enjoy Ten on Tuesday and I'm so glad that Chelsea came up with it. It makes Tuesday's more fun.

1. Do you prefer markers, crayons or colored pencils?
Crayons. I love the smell and I hate the messiness of markers. Colored pencils are nice, but take longer when coloring.


2. As a child, how did your parents celebrate your birthday?
Birthdays are huge in my family. It's your special day and that means sometimes you get to celebrate more than once. The day of your birthday, my mom would make whatever I wanted for breakfast. It would be followed by cards and opening presents. That day we never had to do chores, and we had our favorite meals all day long.

3. How do you feel about leggings?
As long as they are paired with a tasteful dress, long shirt, or sweater, then I like them. I also don't think leggings are meant for everyone. Not everyone can pull it off. It's a fad that I don't think will last too long. What fads do?


4. How do you prefer to follow directions? With a map? With words?
Words, but maps are fine too. I'm pretty good with directions, but I do like my GPS.

5. What do you eat for snack?
I'm not a huge snacker. I have to convince myself to eat a snack every now and then. If I do eat a snack, it's usually yogurt, or apples with peanut butter.


6. Have you ever ordered anything from an infomercial or bought As Seen on TV products?
I have a Bump It. I don't know why I bought it, because I can tease and twist just fine and don't ever use my Bump It.

7. What's your favorite thing about summer?
Everything. The heat, tank tops, summer dresses, sandals, swimming, bbqs, snow cones, the sun going down late at night, vacations, fireworks. Summer is my all time favorite season.

8. Do you have a tattoo? What and where is it?
Yes, I have a cross tattoo that I designed with an Ichthys fish in the middle. It's on my lower back.


9. Are you good at journaling?
I believe so. I started journaling at a young age and I think blogging is also a way of journaling as well. I journal my prayers as well.


10. Whats your favorite way to eat a hamburger?
With bacon and cheese. Yum!

30 Day Shred Challenge - Day 26

I have really loved this challenge, even when it's not easy and the last thing I want to do is workout. I have a busy week trying to get ready for a visit from my best friends arrival this weekend, followed by packing for our trip. Working out has given me energry, which I need by the end of the day. Only four more days.

30 Day Shred Challenge - Day 25

After a long day of going non-stop, it was nice to get a workout in. Jumping lunges can tire a girl out. 5 more days!

30 Day Shred Challenge - Day 24

I'm sure you are tired of reading these posts, but only 6 more days of it and I will be done. Worked out this afternoon and it went really well. I have found that doing the Superman trunk exercise is not the most comfortable when you just finished a glass of water. Other than that, it was a good work out. I am still sore, but it's a good sore.
