Jan - I tried to update from my blackberry while laying in bed with Talulah last night, but it was a no-go. My phone did not want to cooperate. I didn't think anyone was reading anymore now that Mandy's finished!
Talulah is still sleeping in my bed, which I'm enjoying, and we're working on her going to sleep on her own and then me joining her later. We had success one night, but every other night she just stays in bed for like five minutes and then plods out to see where I am.
I still haven't decided if it's a good idea to START co-sleeping at this point, but I like the night time snuggles so I'm not too concerned for now. She's getting a new bed soon (a double instead of a toddler bed) so when we switch out her bed I figured we'll work on her sleeping in her own room again.
Soooooo... the reason I'm saying all of this on here is because my evenings are kind of gong-shows right now. I shredded once since my last post, but didn't have time to update. Then tried to shred another night but Talulah decided it was NOT going to happen.
I think that shredding (and blogging about it) every day is too much to commit to. Mandy's a superstar for getting through it. I'm just going to bring my gym stuff back to work to workout on my lunch break, I'm also going to try out the yoga place by my house, and I'll keep shredding slowly but surly getting through it.
I may post on here about progress every now and then.... But definitely not an every day dealio.

Sarah - (Wait for it……..) Day 13!!!
That's right folks… I shredded! Bet you thought I was down for the count… So did I!
So, it's weird, after a bazillion day break I thought Level 2 was going to kill me. KILL ME. But, it didn't. It was easier than when I did it before. Maybe I really did need a bazillion day break. Is that going to make it any easier to get going tomorrow? Nope. But at least I will know that maaaaaybe I won't die.
I didn't want to shred tonight. But I thought, since I had Crave cupcakes for dinner that I probably should. (What? I was going for a hair cut and Crave is right by the place I go. I was starving so I had to. HAD TO.) Good call….. Now I can go have one as a bedtime snack. (KIDDING!!!! Maybe.)
Oh, and Mandy, I had the best idea ever. You should totally go back to day 14 and finish it (again) with me! What a great idea. GREAT idea. I bet you're thanking your lucky stars that I thought of it! Right?
Great, I look forward to your blog tomorrow. You're the best!

Sarah - Update Again
First, let me say….
WAY TO GO MANDY!!! You're a superstar! Sure, the shred may not have been the best tool for weight loss, but YOU DID IT! You finished all 30 days! YAAAAHOOOOo!!
Second, my update…
I've decided to finish the shred as well. Although I'm only on what, Day 12 or something?? I'll still give it a go. Tonight, I won't be doing it though (I know, I know… *rolls eyes*). But I have a good excuse!
Tomorrow's Valentine's Day and, while I don't have a significant other to share the oh-so-special day with… I do have an uber adorable daughter who has some friends at daycare that she'd like to celebrate with. :) I completely forgot that today was going to be our "making valentine cards for Talulah's friends" day…. Instead we had a superfun playdate with Talulah's pal Jack (he was born the day before her) playing in the snow and walking down by the river.
So, I finished making the cards at around 11:30pm and then got started on the rice krispie squares that she'll be bringing to share with her friends. They were going to be heart shaped, but apparently I gave up the heart shaped cookie cutters in the divorce. Ha! So, instead I bought a bag of the mini multi-coloured marshmallows and separated out all of the pink ones. Then, I stirred the pink 'mallows in with the cereal so there are little pink love spots throughout the squares.
Anyway, it's now 12:13am and I'm waiting for them to cool so I can cut them into mini squares (to put in pink cupcake paper thingies).
I could be shredding while I'm waiting for the cooling process, but instead I'm updating the blog and then I'll get myself ready for bed before I get to cuttin'.
Mandy's a superstar. I think anyone and everyone who read this blog needs to comment on her final blog post below to let her know how proud we all are of her! (I will be commenting to tell her how proud I am, and also to apologize for being the worst ever shredding, co-blogging partner in the world.)
I love you Mandy! Amazing job!

Sarah - Update
I've been absent from the blog for a while, I know.
I'm feeling unmotivated and frustrated with the shred. So I'm having a hard time deciding if I should just quit and go back to working out over my lunch hour at work, or if I should pick it up again and just finish the damn shred.
Bed times have still sucked lately. Talulah's even slept in my bed for a few nights now because I'm too drained to do a two hour bedtime every single night. I reeeeeally shouldn't start this habit at almost 2.5 years old, but the snuggles are so precious. When she comes plodding into my room at 2:00am and says, "Mama snuggle me" it melts me....
Looks like I'm not being very strong in any aspect of my life. :(
Mandy - Thoughts? Keep going or do something else?
Anybody else have thoughts?
I'm very very scared that the one thing that will make the biggest difference is FOOD. But I love my carbs and dairy and treats and midnight snacking..... I reeeeeeeeeally don't want to give it up, but I'm thinking that's what it's gonna take.
Somebody say it ain't so....

My date tonight fell through (again). I know I said I'd shred if my date was cancelled… But, I'm actually kind of sad. Too sad to muster up the motivation to shred.
So instead I will go to bed.
Here are some funnies as my payment for skipping. (Honestly? I couldn't choose so there are a lot of them.)

Sarah - Day 12
I only half-ass shredded today. And I went to a movie after work so I had popcorn and smarties for dinner…. I'm not even sure I can count this as a day. I'M SUCH A SLACKER!
Tomorrow will likely be a skip because I think I might possibly have a (fingers crossed, knock on wood) date! Unless, of course, it bombs or he cancels… Then I'll shred.
Good night!

I have a sick baby girl…. Tried to go into work after I took her to the doc, but daycare called and said I had to go get her. Her fever was too high and she was just sitting there staring. Poor girl.
So, I'm skipping tonight so I can get some work done. Last night I shredded at like 11pm and it almost killed me. I really have to stop doing it so late. (Well, that AND it was Level 2 which is hard for me.)
It's 9:30 now and I'm just sitting down to do some work. I'm not gonna stress about the shred tonight.
Mandy - FEEL BETTER!

Sarah - Day 11
Oh. My. God.
I can't believe how blasé Mandy's been about Level 2. Seriously.
1. It takes coordination. Like, real coordination…. I had to stop and stare at Jillian while thinking, "Wuck am I supposed to be doing??"
2. Ummm… It's pretty effing hard!!! I think I might have hurt my knee again (the other one this time), I fell once because my stupid mat slipped (that's not how I hurt my knee), and I even ripped a piece off of my mat with my foot. Seriously…. I don't even know how. But when I was finished Level 2 I looked down and there's just a big grey chunk of mat hangin' about, not attached to anything.
I think I hurt my knee by trying to do some sort of twisty thing, or maybe it was the lunge thing where you do it forward then backward… I lost my balance. It could have been that one.
Anyway - WOW, am I ever a hot mess! My shirt is soaked. Gah…. At least I know I'm gettin' somewhere.
Like Mandy, IF I'm still alive tomorrow I will NOT be looking forward to shredding. I'm a little terrified.
Jillian…. My hate for you is back on.

Sarah - Day 10!!!
Yay! Day 10 is complete! (And guess what… I did it thinking it was only day 9, but then I read Mandy's comment on my last post. Yahoooo!)
So, this also means Level 1 is complete. Yay!!!!!!
My last weigh-in (yesterday morning) was 133.6. I don't know where those 5 lbs went cause I don't look any different. My clothes don't feel any different. Why-oh-why doesn't instant gratification apply when it comes to exercise?
I mean, I feel better… Like stronger, and I can do more, and I'm proud of myself. But I'm so done with the flab. (I know, I know… You're all shaking your heads saying, "Then quit slacking off!" I completely agree.)
Anyhoo, I shredded this morning so I won't have to do it tonight! I've got plans to go to my beautiful (and SO FUNNY) friend Stephanie's house. I'm excited, we haven't had good quality time together in ages. I miss her.
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend.
Oh, and something for the road… This is Mandy:

Sarah - Day 9.2
FINALLY!!! My second attempt at day 8 is complete!
I think I worked way harder than normal today, but I feel good! I know I'm mostly a slacker, but I'm really proud of myself! Do you know how many push-ups I can do? Well, neither do I… But I can do them for the whole time that I'm supposed to! Tomorrow I'll try to remember to count them. :)
I'm kind of nervous for Level 2. I've never been to level 2 before…. It's a pretty scary unknown. But I want to be like Mandy! I want my belly to flatten out! (Even more importantly, I'd like aaallll of my flab to exit the scene.) So, instead of being scared of Level 2, I will embrace it.
That's right.
And I have two more days to get ready for the big embrace.
I forgot to weigh-in. I'll have to do that with my blog post tomorrow.

Sarah (aka: Worst Shredder Ever) - Skip
So, my hot date was a no-go. But, did I shred??
No. I did not.
I ended up working late, then went home had cereal for dinner again and went to bed because I had to come into work early today. I was here before 7am and have a meeting (that might go into overtime) from 5:00 - 6:00 tonight.... It's going to be a looooooooooooong day. Sigh.
Then I'm going to drop off Luisa's (Hi Luisa, if you're reading!) exersaucer and high chair (that I borrowed for my nephew's visit) and have a quick visit with her and the boys. Probably a very very quick visit because I'm going to be half dead by the end of my long day.
Because I'm such a slacker (and really I'm the only one who's going to pay the price, but still...) I decided to post a couple of funnies to entertain you.
Have you ever seen the http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/ website? Sometimes I have out-of-control laughing fits while reading. So, here are some "I'm sorry I suck so bad at shredding" funnies for your reading pleasure:

I'm updating from my phone cause I'm too tired to get on my 'puter.
Shredded, showered, headache, exhausted.
Hopefully it'll be a more exciting post tomorrow.
Good night!
Oh, and my weigh-in that I did right before I shredded was 136.0.

Sarah - (Almost Day 8.2)
Ha! I love that I thought I'd be able to shred while away for the weekend. I'm so optimistic.
It was a relaxing time, but also busy. We had hotel babysitters booked for both Friday and Saturday nights so Colleen and I could visit with my work peeps and their families and have a few drinks.
So, the babysitter was booked until midnight both nights. When we got back Talulah was sleeping so I wasn't going to shred and wake her up. (Plus, I was exhausted!)
During the day we spent most of the time in a HUGE bouncy castle (so I DID get some exercise!), and getting Talulah's face painted and trying to get her to nap….
Anyway, it was a GREAT weekend, but I'm really glad to be home. We just got here and I have unpacking, tidying, cleaning and parenting to do. If I'm not too tired tonight then I'll pick up my shred again… If I'm too tired I'll pick it up tomorrow.
Hope y'all had a great weekend… And hopefully I'll update again tonight after I shred. :)

Mandy… We're twins today!
Unfortunately, I'm choosing to skip. *guilty face* Today is my dad's 61st birthday and he's all alone. So, I took him out for dinner and a movie. It's now 10:18pm and I just got home. I still have to pack for my weekend away with work (and Talulah and Colleen!!) so I'm going to skip the shred tonight.
BUT… I'm packing my laptop, my weights, and my shred DVD (sorry Mandy, still have mine) for my weekend away. That's right folks, I'll be shredding from Chateau Lake Louise!
Hopefully Colleen will still want to be my bestie after she watches me grunt through a weekend with Jillian. You know what?? She's seen me in much worse states than that… MUCH worse. So I'm not worried. She'll still love me…. She just might laugh at me all weekend. *shrug*

Sarah - Day 7.2
Shredded, showered….. Not feeling well and exhausted so I have nothing else to say.
Oh, except that I think my scale is eff'd. Here's why:
Last night, naked weigh-in = 135.2
This morning, naked weigh-in = 133.5
Tonight, fully clothed weigh-in = 138.2
WTF? I get the whole different time of day stuff… But could my clothes really weigh THAT much? Enough to make that much of a difference? I'm too tired to bother with a naked weigh-in tonight. I'm blogging from bed and there's not a chance I'll be getting out of bed until tomorrow morning.
Unless Talulah needs something. I'll always get out of bed for her. She's so cute.

I'm too tired to do anything else tonight, so I'll start my weigh-in in the morning.
G'night y'all!

Sarah - Day 5.2
First, let me say…. Mandy - You're my hero. I think you're amazing and you kick ass. For real.
So, I'm finished my second attempt at day 5. Phewf… It felt good! I pushed myself harder today, not that I don't normally work hard. I just worked WAY harder today. When I thought I couldn't lift my 3lb weights up to my eyes while doing a side squat any longer, I just pushed through it! I'm surprised my grunting didn't wake up Talulah.
Speaking of Talulah, she still didn't want to sleep tonight. After a valiant effort on my part, and an hour and a half of "bed time", I told her that Mommy was done saying goodnight and it was time to go to sleep. I gave her a few kisses and an, "I love you" and left the room.
She laid there for literally an hour singing, "No cose eyes Mommy" over and over and over again…… It was adorable. She's sleeping now, and I didn't have to go back into her room even once. Now, I'll have to work on cutting down the time I'm saying goodnight.
Anyway, I'm shredded… My kid's sleeping… And I feel good!
Oh, except the fact that I still forgot to buy a 9 volt battery. I'm awesome.

Sarah - Day 4.2
I had another bbm meltdown to Mandy. Talulah's been anti-sleep this past little while. Friday night she didn't go down until 11:00pm and then was up every 1 to 1.5 hours throughout the entire night. Good grief.
Then Saturday night she was at her dad's house, but I had a killer headache and was throwing up all night (I'm fine today, just a little nauseous… Weird.) so I still didn't get much sleep and obviously didn't shred.
Tonight was much of the same in the beginning. It just wasn't starting off well… No nap today, Talulah screaming and crying and refusing diaper, pj's, bed, sitting…. Sigh.
So, I had a meltdown and bbm'd Mandy with a very dramatic I'llnevergettoshredagainI'msooverwhelmedwithmylife text and then, guess what? A few short minutes after I sent the text, Talulah stopped crying. She was asleep. Then I felt like the meanest mom ever, feeling sorry for myself while Talulah's crying herself to sleep. Sigh. Poor Lula.
At least day 4 is complete (again)! I still don't have a weigh in… Never did get around to buying a battery for my new scale. I'll try to remember tomorrow.
Keep your fingers crossed for smooth bedtimes from now on!

Phewf. It was hard to get going today, I tell ya.
My beautiful baby Talulah was not wanting to go to bed yet again. I reeeeally hope it's just a phase and that it passes SOON. It's rough. She's sleeping now, finally relaxed around 9:00 tonight. Two hours past bed time. Sigh…
I started the shred twice and had to stop to go to Talulah's room. I guess she really believes in "third time's a charm" because on my third attempt (starting over with the warm up… no shortcuts!) I got to complete day 3 of level 1 (again). Seriously though, one more interruption and I probably would have given up and skipped the night.
So, Mandy - I couldn't figure out how to watch something PVR'd and play the video at the same time. Wait…. Did you play the DVD on your laptop and then watched Modern Family on your TV? Cause that just occurred to me that I could do that. And I will tomorrow.
I'm nervous that I won't work as hard if Jillian doesn't have my full attention. But really, I do know the circuits so it should be fine. If I slack off though, then no TV for me! I need to get in shape!
My March vacay that I needed to be buff for isn't gonna happen. Well, it might… But probably not. My BFF Colleen isn't able to go anymore. I thought maybe I'd just take a trip solo, and I still might, but I'm leaning more towards cancelling and saving the vacation time. I still want to be comfortable in my skin though, so I'm gonna keep on keepin' on.
Tonight I wasn't a fan of Jillian. I believe my final words after the cool down were, "Screw you, Jillian." right before I turned the power off on my DVD player.
Oh well… at least I finished.
Until tomorrow. Good night!
