Ten years ago, the best long distance runner on our track team was jealous of MY legs, and I was competing with the shot putters to see who could do more push-ups during calis.
Yes, it was ten years ago. Yes, I was 16 and didn’t yet have a curve to my name.
I don’t care.
I want it back.
I want that feeling… that strength. That swagger.
I want to rock it at my girl’s wedding. I want to make this look goooooood in Vegas.
Now, I am not a big girl by any means. I know this.
But I am SOFT, y’all. I’ve gone from sharp chedder to a ripe brie… and I’ve had enough.
I am sick of feeling weak. I am tired of feeling self-conscious.
It is time for a real change. It is time to get EXTREME.
And so, my friends… with the power of B by my side, an absolutely insane hour-a-day training program, and a devastating lack of cheeseburgers from my life… I will do it. I will get it back, with a side of Michelle Obama arms to boot.
Please and thank you.
Three months, six days a week.
Half the booze, none of the fried.
(Somebody shoot me.)

Wow, good luck! I am doing the same thing…only my goal is to be where you are NOW lol
The First Lady does have some killer arms doesn’t she? I’m totally jealous.
I will be fit, or die trying, and there is no exaggeration there. I Do it or Die!
That is EXACTLY where I am right now.

Yessss I’m doing the same thing! I’ve got to look good in the Keys!! I’m jealous that your boy is doing it with you though…what are you going to do? Run? or gym it?
We’re doing an at-home video routine. But trust me… it is ridiculous. I can’t life my arms today. Or sit down. Or breathe.
Kristin´s last blog ..Happy New Year!
Glad you’re not givin’ up the booze the entire time. I never could.
Hell no. I’m just EARNING that wine now.
Oh but it will be so worth it! I’m excited for you. I’m glad you get an off day (some call it a “cheat day”) once a week. That really helps you recalibrate and prioritize.
Absolutely. The Lord commandeth it, and I am AOK with that.
right there with ya, but it gets so much more difficult when you get older…
This is true. But it ain’t stopping me.

When you say you’ve become a ripe brie, you’re not referring to smell, right?
Oh, come on, man! It’s not even Thursday!
James´s last blog ..Traveling with the Seven Dwarfs
Work it.
That’s the plan.
Good luck!!!
I’ve started back running and hope to participate in my first 5k in August so I feel your pain with the whole no bad foods and lots of ouch from the gym/track. But, anything you set your mind to you can totally do!
Yes we can! (This message Obama-approved.)
Camille´s last blog ..I’ve moved…
They say misery loves company – I’ve been cutting sugar from my diet of late, and have been upping my workouts to boot. You’re not alone!
Also, “gone from sharp chedder to a ripe brie” is, frankly, perfect. I may have to borrow that metaphor…
Ha. It is a good one. I don’t have a sweet tooth, but the salt/savory is what’s going to be hard for me. You know… like that brie.
Dagny Taggart´s last blog ..Things I have accomplished so far today
I know what you mean. I am going to the gym regularly and really enjoying it. I think I need to hire a personal trainer for a couple of sessions though. I need a routine that will push me. What are you doing? And boy do I ever want some nice arms.
Chatting you now.
If I started out more like processed American cheese, where does that leave me now? Cottage cheese?
Hahahaha! Maybe we should restrict our comparisons to not-dairy products…
i’m doing that too! a week in mexico and two weddings in June…YIKES! but i’ve already decided that April 9-11 is my “free” weekend to cheat. bring on the booze and cheeseburgers, DC, and let’s make some lovin’.
Oh, don’t worry. I’ll be out in fine form when you’re here. One day off a week!
cavy´s last blog ..life in the big apple
HEY! I’m on that same plan……with the same goal in mind!

It’s not soooo bad most of the time… until I’m out and drive by Zaxbys.. oh I love me some fried hot fingers……
uhhhh… I mean – SHUT UP!!!!!
I love me an APPLE…yeah… a big red ripe delicious apple (wink wink)
Good luck on your goal
our results will be SO worth the sacrifice!

God I miss Zaxby’s….why can’t they bring that up North of the Old Mason-Dixon line?
No, no. If they had a Zaxby’s here, I’d weight 800 pounds, and be documented on the Discovery Channel as “The Woman Who Ate a Chicken farm”
I don’t know what Zaxby’s is, but it sounds like I want to find out.
T. The Destructor´s last blog ..Our mothers, ourselves
I hate hate hate hate HATE how ’soft’ I am. I’ve never been buff or cut or muscular, but I used to have strength. Now I just have rolls and pudge. And I hate it. I keep telling myself I’ll do something about it, but I don’t do it. Because I’m really bad at self-motivation.
Having a partner just as determined as you is priceless, I’ll admit.

Good Luck!!
Now that the weather here is nice, I am remembering a [likely drunken] promise I made to run every day and cut out carbs. Apparently there were witnesses so I have to go through it =/ So yea shoot me too please
First let’s get in amazing shape. THEN we’ll consider the shooting.
L.´s last blog ..Dare to Wear
I just joined a super cheap gym and I love, love, love it. $10 a month! It’s insane. So far, I’m just walking, but in those two weeks I’ve belonged, I have already lost four pounds. Isn’t that awesome! GO LILU! GO GO GO!

If I don’t do some situps and shit, I will NOT be seen in a bikini in Vegas. Considering that there’s really nothing else worth doing during the day, I NEED TO DO SOME SITUPS. I wish I could afford a personal trainer. I need someone to force me to do it because I haaaate it.
So do I. But come on, you KNOW we’re gonna go to a strip club… we have to look at least as good as they do!
Just A Girl´s last blog ..Violence Unsilenced
Without sounding like an informercial, since October I’ve lost between 25 and 30 pounds by eating better and less. I only recently took up Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout on the Wii because I stay at home with my toddler son, and I was getting some serious, on-the-verge-of-stabby cabin fever.
I WILL be 20 pounds lighter by June. – I’ve got some hot dresses to wear to a big party then.
So, you could train with B and eat less cheeseburgers, or you could go the Kenny Powers regimen of steroids and blow. I hear that works for the big league-ers.
25-30 pounds! Girl, you are THE Awesome!!! KP would totally approve.
Jennifer´s last blog ..Click, click
i tried to make a “fergalicious” reference to being up in the gym, but it was belabored. anyway, work it out!
I won’t pretend that’s not on my gym iPod.
I would be happy to look as svelte as Queen Latifa.
I hope that comes with her Cover Girl perfect coffee skin.

Speaking of the push-ups, I’d seriously consider this: http://www.hundredpushups.com/index.html
It’s easy to do, and in the first week I was able to increase the maximum number of push-ups I could do at once by 20. Give it a shot!
Oh, believe me… we do at LEAST a hundred push-ups in this regimen.
Also? Ow.

Kristen´s last blog ..Top Two Tuesday: Names
While no one has ever been jealous of my legs (they’re short and plump, lol) I do what it feels like to be fed up with the body you’ve got. I’m doing this torturous thing right now called TRX – I basically want to die about 5 minutes in and afterward my muscles quiver with what I can only guess is fear that it will be happening again soon. Getting in shape isn’t easy business, but it’s worth it!
Kick ass and get that swagger!
PS – Michelle Obama really does have some outstanding arms. Damn.
All my best,
Carolina
It is so, SO worth it. I just need to keep reminding myself of that…

Erin @ My Way This Time´s last blog ..Loving… |
right there with you! after a 2 month hiatus from pretty much ANYTHING active, i am back to pole 2x a week, yoga 1x a week, and hopefully a running routine w/a coworker. AM SICK OF THE SQUISHY. (also? incredibly sore after 2.5 hrs of pole on monday. holy shit.)
2.5???? I am so coming to your next recital.
Good Luck! I wish I could get motivated to do the same. I’ve always hated working out…gah. I am sure cutting down on the booze will do wonders alone…maybe I should start there haha!
I know, I kept saying that too. But working out is the only thing that MAKES me cut down… then I feel guilty- I don’t want to waste the workout-ness!
i feel your pain sister. so much so that i thought it would be a great idea to pay for personal training once a week for the next six months and sign up for a gym i can barely afford. luckily the man in my life loves my body so that definitely helps in the self esteem department. the tight jeans i can no longer pull up my legs not so much.
stick to it girl, i know you can
I do, too. Something is different this time.
And you are wee! Shush!

Keep it up LiLu, it’s so worth it…..
I believe you!
Kris´s last blog ..Dearest Yoga,
Awesome! You’re going to rock it!
Thanks dear
I am in the same boat. I think the threat of turning 30 and being out of shape is what did it for me – I felt like there was no turning back if I wasn’t in shape by then. The first 30 days are the hardest, but if you can get through it without making excuses of why you can’t, you’ll be golden. I also cut back on sugars, saturated fat, and carbs after 3pm and upped my intake of calcium and protein.
Good Luck!
That is EXACTLY what we’re doing, in addition to the workout. Should be interesting…
OG´s last blog ..What do you want to know Wednesday – questions and answers.

I know that’s pathetic but it’s all I can do for now! And maybe not buy a case of beer every Friday night and make smoothies instead. We can totally do it.

I guess it’s for a good reason but you’d better bet your ass that as soon as I pop this baby out I’m getting my figure back. I’m determined! Plus I will have to be in a bikini 6 months later so I will HAVE to!

Half the booze? Girl….I am watching you. *insert lame impression of robert deniro*
You’re already gorgeous, but whatever makes you happy. Healthy is always good. You can do this. I feel it.
Unsolcited advice: You gain in recovery not while working out.
So if you feel fatigued and achey like you are comming down with the flu, or your heart rate is elevated when you wake up (that poundy oh-no feeling) you are overtraining. You could try every other day or 2-on 1-off one of split and see what is best for your own recovery, but the faster harder longer more spiel is myth and a recipie for burnout and injury.
For validation of this info check the” supersite” feature at bodybuilding.com, one of the most trusted websites with probably the largest database of training and nurtition forums and articles from real folks and those in the biz, including competitors.
I just finished a 12 week program and had a recovery week, now I am working a 5×5 six week program to beat my plateau, then I’m going to do another recovery week and begin the cycle agian with 6 weeks of “hundreds”, so I fully embrace your go get ‘em attitude and extreme commmitment. Just wanted to send you some notes from 15 years in the trenches

Good luck! Reading this post reminds me of just how kick ass I felt when I could run miles and miles like it was nothing.
Good luck! I know exactly what you mean. Once upon a time I was an athlete. Now, what made me look like one is withering away and I hate it.

Dooooo it! And you will become so addicted you’ll never stop. Like me. Who doesnt have time to get groceries but will gym-it like a mofo.
Only problem, I still drink beer like a fish. I suggest you not doing so.

Thank GOODNESS you are only halfing the booze. That would otherwise be a serious disaster.
my advice is to drink vodka and you’re all good. i was doing a weight loss boot camp where i had to pay money if i gained and she forbid alchohol (she said that to me?) but i drank vodka and club soda, (seltzer at home) and i still do, i still dropped weight each week and it was my personal eff you to that instructor.
good luck!
Im embarking on my own arms of steel program, for a wedding also. i got these circles you twirl on your arms. like hula hoops.

I feel like I wrote that. I used to be a dancer. It is a sad sad transition from dancer’s body to looking like my mother. I’m not overweight, but I am only 26, and shes 52.
I have been going to the gym with the bf for a year at least, it didn’t make much difference. I started doing The Bar Method (no drinking involved I swear) , and I love. I am actually sore the next day and I don’t have to schlep to gold’s gym of all places.
I highly recommend it and you can get a set of two dvds for like 30 bucks.
Have you ever heard of Physique 57? Its a legitimate god send… Kelly Ripa swears by it.. I do it three time s a week and it has put me in the best shape of my life. I love it.
Best,
Hannah Katy

God… exercise…
I used to be fit too! At university — 2 or 3 miles a day, lots of sex… but, man, I have hardly walked in the last 5 years.
I actually come close to passing out if I exert myself too much (like during sex). It’s pretty bad.
I need to do some more exercise. Good luck!

i’m by no means a big girl either. but after having my Kid, i never fully shed all the weight I put on during my pregnancy.
Sooooo….made a trip to the dietician…have eating plan….made a trip to the drugstore…have fat burning pills…am eating right, popping pills, drinking water and exercising. even though i don’t wanna.

As long as you’re doing this BEFORE vegas, more power to you. I accept no eating or drinking limitations when we’re there though. NONE.
