erin-me

Wow, it has been a loooooong time since I wrote here. *Blowing off the dust* I am excited for this challenge! I have an awesome partner *hey, Misty!* and am off to a good start! I have started using MyFitnessPal to log my foods and it is a really great app. One of my favorites! [...]

Shrinkvivor Beginning!

I am more excited for this challenge than any other we have put on here at the Sisterhood! I am totally feeling it. I have a few goals this time around: Muscle work (it is HARD work, let me tell you) at least 2/3 of the mornings it is offered each week. But am aiming [...]

Finale:: Down & Dirty

Well, August is dead and gone. I am down a total of 0.2 lbs from when we started this 30-day challenge. That’s pretty much a sneeze. BUT, I will say that as of last week, my head has been back in the game and I have started to go back to the gym and get [...]

R.I.P.

Dear beloved, underused, abused Sportcraft treadmill, You have been in my life for three-quarters of a decade. You patiently waited for me each and every day in the chilled and gloomy basement. Sometimes I would visit you, but more often not. You made move after move with me… North Dakota, Colorado, and then North Dakota [...]

Shrink-a-Versary END.

I lost .6 lbs this week. Which would be okay, had I not GAINED 5 last week. What is it with working out and huge weight jumps for me? I am a little frustrated, to say the least. Some positives for this challenge: *I am working out WAY more than I was previously. *My back [...]

Ole!

Losing Butter

How’s everyone doing with your challenges? I have been plugging away with the EAS Active 30 Day Challenge! I made my hubby do two-player for 8 minutes doing sports yesterday and it was fun! My husband got home this week after being away for a month working. He has lost almost TWENTY pounds. TWENTY POUNDS. [...]

EAS Day 5!

I’m still plugging away at the 30 Day challenge! I felt the workout yesterday was pretty easy. I enjoyed today’s workout – I like the running and boxing. I even went so far as to do an extra 5-minute custom workout of boxing, tennis, and volleyball. If you haven’t tried the volleyball yet, I encourage [...]

Day 2

I kept the EAS Active at medium intensity today because Christy was saying there were lunges and lunges and lunges, oh my!! Well, I am glad I did… I thought yesterday was easy, so this was much better. I like the side lunges, HATE the forward lunges, my right knee feels like it is going [...]
