I was out of town on Saturday and not in a location that I could do my Shred.  Got back in town just in time to head out for our early V-day celebration with our friends.  We had a fantastic time out for dinner and then to a Pimps & Ho's theme party.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day - in whatever form it may take for you.  My day was completely wasted because I was so EFFING hung - ov - ver! So again, no Shred for me.  Late in the day, I aggravated my back...again!  This is why I need to get in shape and build up strength all over...my chronic back problems are getting to be ridiculous.  You'd think after 14 years of this, I'd be used to it, but really I just want to feel better every day and not have the slightest thing set it off.  This time it was reaching for my drink over dinner...how stupid is that?!

So we get to Monday and my back was so stiff & sore I really struggled to get out of bed.  I made myself get into the shower and go to work.  It would have been so much easier to stay home, but I think getting out and about instead of lying around was the best thing.  I came home last night and tackled sorting through a whole tub of 'stuff' that I needed to go through.  About 30 minutes into it, my back started talking to me.  Within the next 30 minutes I couldn't sit still or get comfortable, so I gave up and went to bed...ugh!  I didn't take any meds for it in hopes that I would feel good enough to work out in the morning.

Tuesday morning and I am uncomfortable sitting here writing this and it's only been about 15 minutes.  This is not a good sign.  No Shred this morning, but will see how I feel tonight when I get home.  Not giving up on the day.

    I am 37 years old and live in Moline, IL (the Quad Cities) where I work in Human Resources. Matt and I have been together since September 2007, he proposed in December 2008, and we will be married on May 1, 2010.  Matt has started back to college to get a bachelor's in education so he can follow his dream of teaching.

    I have been more then 50 pounds overweight for about 10 years now.  I will not be thin...ever.  And I don't have a problem with being a plus-sized bride.  But for my wedding day, I'd like to slim down my hips and tummy and tighten up my arms & shoulders.  I've already lost 20 lbs since July 2009. But now I'd like to lose an additional 30 lbs by May 1.  Tall order, but I think the Shred will help me reach my goal.

    Matt is a big guy and we fell in love with each other the way we are now, so neither one of us is motivated by the other to do this.  We each are working to find a way to motivate ourselves to do this however we can.

    I'm glad the May 2010 Knotties are out here in support of all of our efforts and goals!
