Last night I was lounging out on the couch and my husband patted my stomach and said "Oh man. You're letting yourself go."
I don't remember exactly what I said after that because I was too freaking pissed.
Granted, my husband has never had a way with words, so I'm sort of used to it. I generally snark him back and then it becomes a goofy joke between us where he tries to tell me he said something else – like "No, I said 'You're putting on a show'!"
Whatever, buddy.
But then I immediately ran to the scale to take my weight – something I've been avoiding since stopping my daily workouts and starting up the Couch to 5K training program.
And much to my surprise (at around 11pm on a Thursday night – a belly full of food and a bladder full of pee), I'm 158 (down 2 pounds since my final weight during the Biggest Loser Challenge).
2 mile runs, 3 days per week + 1 day of the 30 Day Shred + Elise Gulan Abs = Eat that suckah!
You. Look. HOT! Go K!
Hot damn…you look great!
What the hell is he smoking? You look incredible!
Look at those abs!! You look hawt!
I’m just starting the Shred now, and I have to say, you are my hero. You look amazing!
i’d do ya.
Just wondering K, are you using the Robert Ullrey C25K off of iTunes that pairs music with the intervals?
I would kill for those abs, and I have done the shred and work out all the time.
I hate you.
Mark – I emailed you, but I’m not using this: http://www.c25k.com/ I have heard good things about this http://www.c25kapp.com from folks on twitter. Will be doing a post on iPhone running apps next week.
crazy man! you are hot and it shows. i have to warn ya though…my weight loss if (finally) sneaking closer to you. i’m now 166 lbs. of course i cheated and contracted bacterial meningitis and all.
Are we going to get a shot of him shirtless? We could use some scientific mumbo-jumbo to artificially impose the consequences of three pregnancies and voila, see how he’s looking?
OMG! Let me say that again. O.M.G.!!! Look at you!!! Your abs! You look simply amazing. I feel like going for a run now except I just started my 10 plus hour workday sitting at a desk. Crap.
Ha. Actually, my huz has a pretty rockin’ bod, so I can’t really talk on that account.
Just tell your husband you think he “shrank” the next time you are intimate and watch him sweat. I think it’s payback time.
You look AWESOME. Your abs look killer.
OMG You look a-maaaazing!! That right there is motivation for me to start Shredding!! If that’s letting yourself go, I’ll let myself go any day!
Yeah, wish I let myself go like that….whatever pal! The other week my hubby said something like “it must be a free for all weekend”….because I was munching on something I normally don’t. SO I know where you are coming from with the snarky comments. We’ll show them with our (YOUR) tight abs and muscles!!! Keep it up!
Oh, JEEZ.
He needs the hoof in mouf medicine.
WOW! You look amazing!
I’m with Fairly Odd Mother, make a comment about him seeming smaller next time you’re intimate. See how it makes him feel.
Your abs look amazing. I’m really impressed!
Holy shit. Congrats on that bod! You look amazing.
I’m on day 3 and I hope I look half that good on day 30! Your husband might need to have his eyes checked. Way to go!
Holy shit, girl, you are looking HOT!
Holy shit!
HONEY!! Looking hott!
Tell me what you’re using for abs?
Sarah – I’m doing the Straight to Core on my off days.

Elise Gulan – it’s tough as nails. I also do like the Weight Loss Yoga (Bob Harper) level 2 which is all abs – 15 minutes – pretty tough and well rounded.
Maybe in some sick way he thinks it’s motivating you. Granted, it’s probably motivating you to kick him in the balls…..
You look FANTASTIC. Wish my abs looked like that.
I have never officially posted as a shredhead along with you, I have followed along the whole time and have lost 20 pounds. For some freaking reason even though I am at 145, you looking a ton better than me!!!!I think your scale is way off , lol!! Jealous! You go girl!!
I’m going to have to get that Elise Gulan vid…I have her ballet one and it rocks for legs and butt, but abs need more. I can’t believe how fab yours look! I don’t think mine would ever do that.
(Wow. I totally gave myself an out there. What a lazy ass.)
i cannot believe how fucking skinny you are and how amazing your abs look! holy shit!
