About 3 months ago I started Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 DVD.
Yesterday, after being blindly motivated by watching The Biggest Loser, I finally advanced from Week 1 to Week 2. I know, I know, how could it take me 3 months to move up one week?
Excuse #1 - I only do the workout once a week, not everyday as intended
Excuse #2 - I am a new mom (I don't know how that applies here, but I use that excuse for everything. Try it. It works.)
Excuse #3 - Jillian Michaels scares me
Turns out that I had a good reason to be scared. This was a whole new level of pain. Two minutes of plank jacks and mountain climbers!?! Ouch.
I thought Week 1 was bad. Compared to Week 2, I could do Week 1 in my sleep. I may move up to Week 3 in November. For me, the DVD should be named, Ripped by the Time You are 30. Hehehe.

Eats
Breakfast - cottage cheese with pears and two breakfast cookies. I accidentally bought the fat free cottage cheese. Bleh.
Lunch - salad with leftover chicken meatballs, Italian dressing, and an unpictured slice o' bread
Dinner - my meal prep on Sunday didn't quite go as planned and I had a ton of veggies on hand, so I improvised and made some chicken stir fry with sriracha, chili sauce, and soy sauce mixed together with chicken, peppers, onions, broccoli and snap peas.
So pretty. So good.
Unpictured snacks - apple, popcorn, and a bowl of cereal.

Joke for the day
I LIKE TO TAKE 1 SERVING OF FAT FREE COTTAGE CHEESE AND ADD A LITTLE SKIM MILK AND 1 TEASPOON OF LEMON SUGAR FREE DRY PUDDING MIX TO IT AND MIX IT UP. IT MAKES COTTAGE CHEESE A SWEET TREAT FULL OF PROTEIN. I SOMETIMES MIX IN FRESH BLUEBERRIES TOO! GIVE IT A TRY :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make that stir fry! Do you have a ratio of Sriracha to chili sauce and soy sauce? It's a great way to use leftover veggies without always making a salad! Thanks~
ReplyDeleteI kind of just threw it together, but I would say about 1/2 C chili sauce, 1/2 C soy sauce, and 1 TBS of sriracha. Go with what feels right. Ha! :) FYI - the chili sauce was from Trader Joe's. It might be called "sweet chili sauce." PS - how was your surgery? How are you feeling?
DeleteThank you! I thought I had that chili sauce, but realized it was chili garlic sauce. That might work, too, just a different flavor.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe surgery was less than 24 hours ago! I'm doing okay. Lots of meds and getting up to walk around as much as possible. Sore. Thanks for asking!
