He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Day 2: Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut"

AM: Slept through my alarm this morning. DARN! Had to settle for a 4 mile walk pushing a stroller. I don't have a jogger or I would have run. It was nice to walk along the beach with my two year old. He loved it. We saw lots of dogs and he blew kisses to each of them.

PM: Day 2, 5 Circuit workout. I really like these workouts. They are challenging and they have a little bit of everything, so never boring.

Ran 1.4 with my 7 year. So these were REALLY SLOW miles but nonetheless.. miles.

Food Intake: Another great day. 1390 calories. I ate lots of berries today. They are so yummy!!

Weight: 0.00

I am doing a 30 day program that is supposed to drop the last 10-20 lbs once and for all! You follow a 5 circuit routine 4 days a week (the circuits are different everyday)and you are also suppose to do cardio everyday. You don't have to workout twice a day you can do both cardio and weights together but she suggests if you can to do one in the AM and one in the PM for extra calorie burn. I can't remember what it is called but your metabolism or something is increased for a certain amount of time after exercising. Whew!! That was a long explanation!

Oh yeah I am also only suppose to eat 1400 calories a day. So far it doesn't seem to hard. I just have to take extra time to plan.

How are you!

If ya pick the right 1400 calories you can be very full!!! GOOD LUCK. You will do great.

Hey I wondered if this program was any good! So for the circuit workouts, do you need to have much of your own home equipment?

From Britta on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 13:31:17 from 66.74.236.175

Leandra,

I have a lot of gym equipment at home so I haven't paid that much attention to it... However a lot of the exercises I am just using hand weights. There are atleast a couple exercises each day that I am using my equipment but she also gives you options of different exercises to do for certain muscle groups. Maybe you can check the book out from the Library to see if it would work before you buy it. I also have a couple of her videos which I LOVE! They ompliment my running really well because they are not super long and I get in weights. With her videos you only need hand weights.

Thanks for the info! I have a gym pass, so that actually would actually probably work. I was thinking it was a video, but if it's a book I'll just pack it around with me at the gym. Sounds like you are doing really well with it! Thanks again for the info, i really wanna try it out. I'm bad at fitting in my weights and having a written out plan like that would be great for me.
