30 Day Shred.

 (&here is the demon herself, ready to kick you into shape!)

So I am not sure if I have shared this story on the blog, I am sure I have, but I am going to share it again. When you live with someone, you start to witness their SSB, which for those of you who don't know the reference it means, Secret Single Behavior. Everyone has something, and some of them can be quite shocking, but lets not get into that right now, haha. While working out to home videos isn't really a secret I had, it is something you don't do in front of your boyfriend. Heck, sometimes I didn't even want to do it in front of girlfriends. Because lets face it, you are not your cutest when you are looking all weak huffing and puffing, dripping sweat all over the place. But as you date you start to get more comfortable around each other (you know you ALL remember the first time you farted in front of your man! haha)  
 
Anyways... one day after Trevor and I were married I decided to pull out one of my Jillian Michaels videos and got to work. Now if any of you have done a Jillian video you KNOW what I am talking about. These things kick your trash! &It is so deceiving because they don't seem that hard but then you get into them and they kill you. Where was I? So yes, I was killing myself doing one of these videos and I start to hear some laughing coming from behind me. Trevor was laughing at me. I stopped and looked at him and stated, "Excusssssse me, is there a problem here?!" Now Trevor works out a lot, and is in great shape, and he proceeds to tell me that this video couldn't possibly be that difficult, and it doesn't even look like a good workout. So what did I do? I told him he should try, I dared him. He laughed it off and went back to the computer. 

A couple weeks later I came home to find Trevor sweating bullets doing a Jillian Michaels work out video. That's right. Lets fast forward a year later, and guess who uses these videos more then me now?! Mmm-Hmmm. So why do I bring this up? Well I don't know about you, but the summer (along with Christmas) always gets me when it comes to eating too much. All that summer vacation and relaxing eating bad bad but so good foods :) So I have decided to start the 30 Day Shred Video, and thought, why not invite everyone else to do it with me?! Have you guys tried the 30 Day Shred? If not, and you are looking for a great workout video I HIGHLY recommend it. I have been using it for years, along with her trouble zone video. You have to be eating healthy along with it, but if you do, after 30 days, your results will be shocking, NO JOKE! So if anyone else wants to join me, let me know :) I am starting next Monday, so the 22nd. I like to write down my goals since they are more likely to get accomplished if you do, and I wouldn't mind the support. So even if you aren't doing the video, maybe you can set up your own healthy 30 days goal. Whos in?! haha


P.S. I just wanted to say SORRY to those who commented and I didn't respond. I have been trying to be good at replying to everyone's comments but with being away I got SO behind. So sorry if you didn't get a response to something, I really do appreciate the things you guys say and send me. To make life a little easier you guys should check to see if you have a no-reply email set up, if you fix that it makes it easier for me to email you a response :)

P.S. Just a reminder that I have opened up advertising spots on my blog. I thought I would put the prices out there so you guys all know, I am offering two different ad spaces for very reasonable prices. The large ad is 200 x 120 for $15 and the smaller ad is 200 x 70 for $8
Each of these ads stay up for 30 days. To get more details go here.

Sushi &hidden zip lock bags...


I am hesitant to share this embarrassing story, but what the heck? I have done worse. So yesterday me and Trevor were driving to the gym when I looked down and realized I had my work out pants on inside out. I looked left, I looked right and decided since no cars were around and I was going to go for it. I whipped them off and was trying to put them on over my shoes (which was not an easy task) when Trevor noticed. He freaked out because a car was pulling up to us right then, and someone was crossing the cross walk. I finally got them up and I don't think anyone got a free show. So we got to the gym, and I start on the treadmill, doing my work out, doing my thing. My back seems a little more sweaty then normal but hey I don't give it much thought. I finish my work out a little bit before Trevor so I go to go get a drink of water and wash my hands. I have an itch on my back and as I move my hand underneath my shirt I am shocked to feel something. I pull out from under my shirt a zip lock bag...a USED zip lock bag. I knew instantly whose it was and where it came from. It had remnants of almonds in them. Trevor daily takes a bags of almonds with him as a snack to work and school. I have found several zip lock bags on the floor of his car. Somehow in me trying to put my pants back on, I scooped up a zip lock bag which tucked just perfectly in the back of my pants and under my shirt. I just hope no one saw me on the treadmill with a zip lock bag hanging out of my PANTS! I still can't believe I didn't even notice it.

Anyways, on a different note after the gym we went and picked up some dinner since neither of us felt like cooking. I got some simple store bought sushi. I had an opportunity to go to Japan as an exchange student when I was in middle school. It was amazing, but I ate SO much raw stuff I just couldn't stand fish for the longest time. The past two years I have been trying stuff again. I have fallen in LOVE with sushi. I love it. Even the fast store bought kind. Then again I want to learn how to be a tad more adventurous in trying different types. I play it pretty safe, but one day at a time right?


My Trevor...

For whatever reason, even though he has a lot more clothes then this, Trevor really only wears the same 5 or 6 t-shirts every day, every week, ever since I met him! Thing is, he wears them EVERYWHERE, even the gym which is were I think they get most of their wear and tear. Because of this they have all developed massive holes in the backs arm pits and anywhere else you could imagine. The other day I saw this and I just couldn't believe how big this hole had got. He sometimes accidentally puts his head through it now. When I even mention him maybe getting some new t-shirts he wont even talk about it. He loves his t-shirts and reminds me that people pay a lot of money to wear clothes that have holes in them, haha---ya got to love him :)

Speaking of Trevor and wearing these shirts to work out in. Trevor and I try to go to the gym together as often as we can between our schedules. Today while on the treadmill I saw him lifting weights. I was just looking at him, thinking how cute he was, when all of a sudden I noticed another girl lifting weights behind him &she was checking him OUT! AH! haha Normally I think I would have been a tad jelouse, but for some reason, it made me totally smile. Instead of getting territorial like I normally would, I was proud, I was like yeaaah hunny, I know he is mucho handsome, and he is MINE!
