Since I conquered the Shred like 10 year old Holly playing Dr. Mario, I thought I would give Ripped in 30 a chance. My goal is to do this for the next 30 days and then eat myself into diabetes on Halloween.
Chris is also excited that he gets to start and stop a DVD for me again every night, since doing anything more than turning on the television is off my technology grid.
Speaking of diabetes... In the meantime, my brother, Butkus, started The Shred.
Are you asking yourself... Is is real name Butkus?
The answer is no. Sadly, it's not. But it is what we call him. His real name is Brad, but when we were little, my mom had to shave his head because my sister and I would pull his hair. He then looked like Dick Butkus... and it has stuck for 25+ years.
If you would like to leave some love and encouragement for Bubba Louie while he takes a brutal beating from Jillian, it would be much appreciated.
I also found this Halloween throw-back picture of the two of us... dressed up as Batman and Bat Girl... complete with binky teeth, ratted hair, and all. :)

Did you see all of my sponsors over here? ----------------------------------->
I'll be introducing you to all of them this week.

Emily and I are hosting a vlog linkup this Friday.
If you have a camera on your computer or an iphone, we'll have instructions this week about how to make the video and link up. It's so much fun to see your blog friends talk in real life, with their accents, and mannerisms.
Just make a short video, post it to your blog, then come back here and hit the link up button that will be at the bottom of my post.
I promise, it's easy. If this blog-mom hillbilly can do it, so can you. :)
The topic: Friday Favorites
What's your name?
What's your favorite fast food meal?
What was your favorite music video on TRL?
If your house caught fire, what is the one favorite material object you would take out with you?
What is your favorite workout?
What is your favorite food in your pantry?
What is your favorite gift you have ever received?

Oh, I loooove Vlogs! It brings out the weirdness in people you can hide through writing. I'll be linking up!
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to find my Shred DVD and get back into it! And I've never done a vlog before...so maybe this will be my first?! Kinda exciting! Hope you have a fabulous Monday, dear!
ReplyDeleteYes! Rachel, join us! It will be fun!
Delete"Don't phone it in, Holly." Ugg, Jillian. Shut-up. Love the old school pic of you and your brother!
ReplyDeleteI have never done a vlog, I am kinda scared LOL I need to get my butt in gear for the ML Fit Camp challenge!! I need a good kick in the rear!
ReplyDeleteI've never done one either Tiffani, and I'm hosting this with Holly! :) You can do it! :)
DeleteI really was wondering if that was his real name haha. I am starting the Shred tomorrow. Thinking of doing the vlog but I feel so awkward talking to a camera. We will see I guess lol
ReplyDeleteSuper excited about the vlog link up on Friday and I too love the pictures of you and your bro. I want to join in on the 30 DS with everyone this month, but I just cannot seem to commit. We'll see if I can do it tonight along with the millions of preparations for Cooper's party! Happy Monday lady!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday hookers! Nancy needs new blog digs so I can link up with you fab ladies and break my blogging anonymity (and pop my vlogging cherry).
ReplyDeleteGET IT BUTKUS! At the end of your 30 days, you'll be praising the evil whore that is Jillian. I am doing it again this month (because I'm too poor to buy any other DVDs).
Oh goodness. Vlogs scare me. I hate the way my voice sounds. I might be brave and try it though. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh I might just have to do this one! Never done a vlog and hope I don't look like a total jackass! Hubby and I are starting the SAME dvd tonight! I am sooooo excited (and a little scared, Jillian frightens me without even trying).
ReplyDeleteWhat's your name? Mommy
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite fast food meal? As long as I don't cook it it's my favorite
What was your favorite music video on TRL? I didn't even know what that was until I googled it up. We grew up without cable and still don't have cable.
If you could sing a song on stage with your favorite band, what would it be? Something with Raffi......Baby Beluga?
Any plans for the weekend? ChiliFest!!!!
I might try to link up to the vlog though.
I can't wait. I am totally linking up for this one. HUZZAH!! LOL... Oh man - you go girl with the "ripped" - let me know how it goes. I am still trying to get over the Shred. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm starting 30ds for the challenge. I'm even going to post the dreaded before/after pics to hold myself accountable.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the blogging world, but the link up sounds fun! I'm excited to get my blog going and get to know y'all!
Best of luck to Butkus!! I'm sure he will have lots of success!
ReplyDeletevlogging? Am I ready? Eeekkk Sounds like fun. I'm so in! Happy Monday!
OK seriously considering the VLOG link up...seriously...we will soon find out! Is it easy to post a video?? I'm technically challenged (I can start my DVD player tho....bazinga!) hehe You've got balls for doing RIPPED can't wait to hear how it goes. I'm doing 30ds and kick box fast fix!
ReplyDeleteYou and your brother should totally find some batman shirts and recreate that picture :)
ReplyDeleteI am doing the shred thanks to you!!! :) I like Ripped in 30 though, good luck lady! You are gonna be one [even more] fit mama!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I did RI30 about 1 1/2 hrs ago, my arms and legs are like jelly - 30DS never did that to me. It's a killer -- I thought the warm up was harder than level 1's workout in 30DS. JM is a crazy girl!
ReplyDeleteHmm, wish I knew if my laptop had a fancy camera thingy to do this link up. Might it be that lens looking thing at the top of my screen? ha ha, I need techy help! Husband to the rescue I hope!
Happy Monday, friend!
We cal my littel brother Bubba. Always have, always will. Bubba Smith, 6'4'' playing football in the south, hows THAT for cliche :-) I will never forget cheering for him in his college football game and yelling out Yes BUBBA!!!! And then his roommate I had yet to meet being ehind me and said Um, excuse me, Bubba? Are you referring to Theron? I didn't realize he had a college cover and totally blew it for him that day :-) 5 years later said roommate and I would find out my now sister in laws nickname was Tater. We would then properly tweet their entire wedding ending with #TheBubbaaAndTaterWedding He loves me.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new Shred video! I didn't walk this afternoon so I'm going to right now with the husband.
ReplyDeleteI started the Shred today. I did Ripped in 30 a couple months ago, but stopped half way through because they deleted it off youtube. I'm a lazy, cheap ho and didn't go out and buy it.
ReplyDeleteOh girl! I am kinda scared about this VLOG thing! Ha! I am sure I will be noted as the one with the most southern accent! LOL!!
ReplyDeletelet me know how you like ripped. I'm doing 30 day shred, I've done it before so I'm interested to see how Ripped is compared to 30 Day Shred.... GOOD LUCK!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you start Ripped in 30 yesterday? I did...and I am SORE!!! I'm VERY out of shape!! My legs are the most sore. Ouch!!!
