I'm Back! New 30 Day Challenge - This time, with my Husband Billy


Hi everyone!!!

So needless to say, its been a long time since I have been on here. Billy and I got so busy after returning back to work full time. I didn't gain any weight back THANK GOD but I haven't lost much either. So we are starting anew. Often times, this is the best way to lose weight. You should treat your weight loss program as a marathon and not a sprint. That way, you are more likely to keep the weight off as I have done so. I continued to workout but not everyday and with less intensity. And I have also learned from my peers who have had a child to give yourself the 9 months it took to put on the weight, to take it off. That has helped be emotionally through this experience. After all, the more you stress out about losing weight, the more likely you are to not lose any!

So now please join me (With special guest appearance, my husband, Billy Carr!) as we find new ways to workout together with our son. For the next 30 days, we will both try to lose a pant size and or 8-10 pounds. We hope to accomplish this by using Zuzanna's workouts on www.bodrock.tv, and vetoing any fried food! AHH! I love me some crispy rock shrimp! But that is not allowed on this journey.

Here are our starting stats:
Faryn - weight: 161, Goal: 153

Billy - weight: 195, Goal: 185

So please check back later tonight for tomorrow's workout regimen. This morning, I preformed the following workout. Have fun and let me know how it goes!

And by the way, the person who reaches their goal first gets a week off from the morning feedings!! So wish us LUCK!

Twice the Taste, Twice the Buzz


This beer has great taste. It's a little more pricey than your average micro brew, but this sh*t gets the job done. Its 9% alc/vol when most beers like Miller Light (which we like too) are only 4.2%. So if you want to "class it up" or what we really mean is get your date black out drunk, pick up a 4 pack of La Fin du Monde.

Jonathan Adler King & Queen Vase


We love this vase we got as a wedding gift from our friends known as "The Ernst Twins". One side of the vase shows a queen and the other side shows a king. A perfect wedding gift.

Salty Chocolate


Oh my gosh, when my husband brought these home I was like eh? I'm more of a salt girl. Id rather him bring me pizza with a bow on it.

But then, at second glance I saw crystals. Crystals on top of the chocolates?! Sea Salt (which is actually called Fleur de Sel) was sprinkled ever so lightly in the center of the square. These are THE BEST chocolates I have ever had. And the cocoa is from a sustainable farm in Columbia. So enjoy without the guilt!
