I'm afraid. **UPDATED WITH NOT SO PRETTY PICTURE!!** haha

[Traci Reed]

So my husband's been working as a personal trainer since he got his license a few months ago. I have 20 lbs to lose just to get back to where I was pre-Finn. I made the mistake of telling him last night that I was tired of being fat and wanted to lose 10-15 pounds by my birthday (which is July 31st).

So he made up a very scary exercise plan for me that's 5 days a week. It involves push ups. And pull ups. Sprints people...

We start today.

Wish me a quick death, yes?

[Gemma]

Hahaha good luck!!! ;)

I'd love a personal trainer for a few weeks/months!

[HeatherKS]

Umm, good luck. But after he kills you off, send him to my house so he can kill me off too. ;) I need something/someone to kick me in the butt.

[ColleenSwerb]

I'm with Heather, send him my way! LOL!
GOOD LUCK!!!

[cardinalskate]

Oh my. Pull ups? I'd die.

Good luck. You can do it!

[MamaBee]

ugh... have fun? Good Luck!!

[Leontine78]

OMG I can already feel your muscle pain here! LOL!
But think about the feeling you will have when you did lose that 10-15 lbs before your birthday.

[cbettua]

Good luck hun!

I am post-Zachary and am still pumping which burns calories. On top of that I am doing 2 miles on the threadmil for 35 minutes 3x a week during lunch.

[scrappurple]

Yeah!!! :D You can do it!!! **cheering section {on the side line of course ;) }**

[pomi]

You can do it, Traci!

LOL on the cheering section. How do you call that wave spectators make on the stadium? :)

[Jengerbread88]

Push ups? Pull ups? Sprints?

Sounds like death to me...

[color of my heart]

go traci, go traci, you can do this!

however, your hubby's plan sounds a bit scary.

[MommaTrish]

As someone whose husband also plans out exercises for her to do I feel for you.

[Lyd]

Good luck Traci! I will be requiring P's services in about four months. So, yeah, once you're all skinny and HAWT again, send him my way.

[SweetMelissa]

Good luck. I ditto the other ladies can I borrow him for a month? I have some weight I just can't get rid of.

[Leah]

Yikes. I would be afraid too. lol

[Tracie Stroud]

hahahahaha! Good luck!

[Ginger_79]

LOL Hang in there, sister. We're all with you!

I gotta admit, that push-ups are not my favourites either. I kinda new what the Jillian Michaels work-out was all about, when the very first excersice after the warm-up was push-ups. Uhuh, no easing into it. But to chear you up: It gets better after 2-3 days.

[AmberK]

I'd like to borrow him too. :)

Good luck though. Hope you are still alive tomorrow! I would REALLY miss your designs.

[Jenn Barrette]

eek...good luck Traci!

[NatalieKW]

...I think I can, I think I can...I think I can...

Good luck!! :thumbup:

[taracotta7]

I feel your pain......my hubby is a certified personal trainer also. I am always his guinea pig for trying out new exercises or strength building things. Lovely.

I highly recommend boxing as part of the training........not really for results but for having a place where you can legally hit him and not get charged with domestic abuse! :p Great way to take out the frustration of him kicking your booty with a workout.

You will be so excited with the results though! SO, good luck! You can do this!:thumbup:

[Sarah8914]

You can do it!! :) I need to exercise too.... hmmm...

BAHAHAHA... LOVE this!!!


EEEK!!! I'd be scared too!!!

[Traci Reed]

LOL we have a punching bag so i wouldn't get to hit HIM. We did our workout today...here's my OMGWTF Did I Get Myself Into iDie FML post workout face...

Bwahahahaha

[cindys732003]

LOL Traci! Love how Finn is sleeping so peacefully in the background too! :D

[taracotta7]

Oh no, Traci!!!! Hysterical! I would totally tell him that you need to spar an actual person! Better cardio. LOL

[color of my heart]

LOL Traci! Love how Finn is sleeping so peacefully in the background too! :D

just my thought too!

[Jengerbread88]

Looks like it was a doozy. I want to get my baby weight off after my pregnancy, too. I'd really like to do that with a diet plan of Little Debbie snacks and potato chips, with an exercise plan that consists of either sitting on the couch, or laying in bed. Anyone know a personal trainer who can come up with a plan like that?

[Leontine78]

Try smiling a little more :thumbup:

[NatalieKW]

Yay for one day down!! :thumbup:

[becca1976]

Your pic made me lol! Especially the peacefully sleeping baby - They don't even realize the havoc they have wreaked on our bodies! lol!

[Tracyfish]

Does he do online training? LOL!

[kendallt]

Ha! I literally LOL'd when I saw that pic! That being said, I would LOVE to have my own personal trainer to whip my butt into shape! I'm terrible at knowing which exercises to do, whether I'm doing them correctly, etc. but am too intimidated to join a gym. :glare:

[heathergw]

LOL... that face is priceless... especially w/ Finn sleeping in the background.

[Juno]

OMG that sounds awful! LOL Good luck - you can do it!

[pomi]

Amazing picture! :D

[cbettua]

LOL, love the sleeping baby in the background!

[cardinalskate]

You did it! First day down. ___ to go!!

[emmasmommy]

*snort*

[julia]

Haha Traci, you can do it!! And that picture is priceless, save it for your future weight loss kit :D

I tried to do the 30 day shred with Jillian, and I wabbled like a duck the next day. That's my last work out experience in a year :p

[Traci Reed]

haha thanks girls! Day 1 Down, only 34 to go!

[amystoffel]

LOL....sprints...iDie!

You completely cracked me up, Jengerbread!

Can I magically lose extra weight that way, too, please? I'm partial to those Little Debby peanut butter bar things.

[jessica31876]

You did day one which is awesome! I would love to have a husband who was a personal trainer to help me lose the baby weight (plus the extra few on top of what I gained with my kids!!) I also love the after photo as well...so cute how the baby is sleeping through the whole thing!

[nun69]

you go girl......

[Jengerbread88]

:thumbup::D

You completely cracked me up, Jengerbread!

Those things are DELICIOUS.

Seriously, though, Traci, you go girl. I SO don't have the willpower!

[Lizzy257]

Lol! Love the sleeping baby in the background :D

[Traci Reed]

lol the sleeping baby is a must if I want to work out at all...

[lovely1m]

Umm, good luck. But after he kills you off, send him to my house so he can kill me off too. ;) I need something/someone to kick me in the butt.

me, too. But I would need someone to motivate me to stop eating crappy food, too. Been lazy for way for a couple of months now.

[sprauncey1]

The worst part is day 3. I've started Insanity with DH. Yeah....I think I'd rather run!

[Susan Bartolini]

Traci - I know it looks scary, but man, it really works. Since adding a personal trainer to my workouts, I have dropped weight dramatically. Yes, I dread the sessions and she totally kicks my ass, BUT watching the scale plummet is well worth it! Good luck!

[xboxmom]

It may be a total pain in the butt Traci but you are lucky to have a built in personal trainer!!! Use him and abuse him. LOL

[Traci Reed]

Haha how is that different than every day life?

[scrappurple]

HAHAHAHAHAHA ... AND it was so hot outside! WTG girl! :D Tell Patrick great job. ;)

[lisabranka]

woohoo! great job! precious baby sleeping in the background made me giggle!

[AmyG]

I don't think I've done a pullup since elementary school! Way to go! I have gained some weight, my booty is not as small as last summer. It can wait till fall, it's too hot here! Plus, I only do the treadmill so I can eat crap and drink margaritas ;). LOL

[jendavey]

Haha...that picture made me seriously LOL. I just purchased the Insanity Workout DVDs (http://www.extremefitnessresults.com/insanity-workout.html) which I have done a few of them and they are pretty INSANE....they should arrive Wednesday so I'll be in the same boat soon lol

[Ingridfasquelle]

haha !!! Amazing pic !!!

[joelsgirl]

Woo hoo! I hope it's all gone by your birthday!

[HeatherKS]

ROFL

[Traci Reed]

ugh here comes day 2...

[heathergw]

how are you feeling this morning?
