My Fitness Journey, Week Five-The Oh My God I’m Exhausted Week

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / / 2 comments

Monday again, sigh. Week Five of my fitness journey has begun. Already. Get up lazy bones! Now that the baby is in bed, get up off that couch and get “Extreme Shredding” already!!! I had completed two days of Sally Matterson’s Extreme Shredder program by the time this new week rolled around and was feeling pretty good. And by pretty good I mean completely exhausted, but…well…good. And I thought that I was finally starting to see some results! Hip Hip Hooray! I mean, things still jiggle, but I am pretty sure they are jiggling just a little less than last week. Brilliant. Because I was starting to feel like Homer Simpson, whose belly fat doesn’t stop moving even when he is standing completely still. (more…)

My Fitness Journey, Week Four: The What The Hell Am I Doing Week

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / / 0 comments

Week Four of my Fitness Journey is done and dusted. Which means, uh oh, coz there are only eight weeks to go now till judgement day. The three weeks that have passed so far have been relatively uneventful in terms of results. I do feel a thousand times better and things do seem to be jiggling slightly less each day, but there is still too much body pudding for my liking. Or the liking of any other human with a set of working eyes to be honest. (more…)

Five New Years Resolutions That Are Good For The Soul.

New Years Resolutions. We all make ’em. We all forget ’em. Once the fireworks are over, the party hats are removed, the mascara has run down completely off your eyeballs, and the empty alcohol bottles have been pushed aside to make room for a Berocca and a serve of hot chips, something happens. Something that we can’t see but is there. (more…)

The Fitness Journey, Week Three: Sore, so Sore.

So, we are now up to week three of my “Fitness Journey”. Weeks one and two sure left something to be desired, and yet I had laughingly high hopes for Week three. Now, I would reeealllllly like to say that I haven’t done anything downright stupid this last week at the gym, except that if I did so I would be completely lying. And those of you who actually know me would instantly know it for a downright lie because I ALWAYS seem to do something stupid at the gym. (more…)

The Fitness Journey, Week Two: The Christmas week.

Well, its safe to say that Week One of my “Fitness Journey” was a bit rubbish. Missed it? Read about it here! Ok, so Week One may have been rubbish, you say. But how did you go on Week Two? Well, to be honest with you, Week Two also started off pretty poorly, but I eventually found my groove so it ended with an absolute BANG! Woohoo! You Go Girlfriend (I creepily whisper to myself as I sit here, typing out my memories from the week that was)!! (more…)

Our first Family Holiday

Ahhhh holidays. The excitement, the anticipation, the sense of impending adventure. We went on our first family holiday at the end of October with our then five and a half month old baby boy, and Noosa was our destination. We couldn’t wait to frolic amongst the sunshine, the surf, and be surrounded by the sweet sweet air of anywhere else but here. (more…)

The Fitness Journey. Oh God.

Well, it’s official. I have decided to put myself on a “Fitness Journey”. I recently decided that I am sick of not being able to fit into my pre-pregnancy “skinny” jeans without my mummy belly (which is a full size bigger than my legs these days) completely oozing out over the top. On the bright side I can still essentially do them up, however I just about have to forgo breathing for the entire time I wear them. And if those jeans don’t have room for lungs, then they certainly don’t have room for chocolate. And we can’t have that now, can we? (more…)
