My Fitness Journey: Week 12 – The Woohoo Wedding Week!

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Mar 14, 2016 / 0 comments

Well. My fitness journey is over… Sort of. For the last twelve weeks I have been working hard (errrr, sometimes) and watching what I eat (with the exception of chocolate as you all know that I am absurdly addicted), in an effort to shed some kg’s and to start getting this baby body back into shape. The amazing wedding that represented my “I-better-bloody-well-be-a-skinny-mini-by-then” deadline has now come and gone. And the wedding was awesome. Yes, but did you reach your fitness goal, you ask? Well, keep reading and find out! (more…)

My name is Ellyn, and its been 3 weeks since I last posted about my fitness journey. My freaking fitness freaking journey. I started out so well. So strong. So clean, and really heading towards lean. Well, sort of anyway. (more…)

My Fitness Journey, Week 6- The Why Am I So Angry Week?

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Jan 27, 2016 / 0 comments

Well, its Week 6 of My Fitness Journey. Can you believe it? Half way through already?!! Woohoo! So, I started a new meal plan a week and a half ago as part of my 6 week Extreme Shredder program. Gawd, clean eating sounded so boring boring boring boring. But I got through the week without too much trouble. And as I mentioned in last weeks post, the recipes the program provided were actually pretty darn delicious!! Thank freaking goodness. Now my goal for THIS week was to reeeeeeally focus on doing it right and doing it without cheating. Like, at all. Not even a little cheating. PUT THAT SNICKERS DOWN GIRLFRIEND! (more…)

My Fitness Journey, Week Five-The Oh My God I’m Exhausted Week

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Jan 20, 2016 / 2 comments

Monday again, sigh. Week Five of my fitness journey has begun. Already. Get up lazy bones! Now that the baby is in bed, get up off that couch and get “Extreme Shredding” already!!! I had completed two days of Sally Matterson’s Extreme Shredder program by the time this new week rolled around and was feeling pretty good. And by pretty good I mean completely exhausted, but…well…good. And I thought that I was finally starting to see some results! Hip Hip Hooray! I mean, things still jiggle, but I am pretty sure they are jiggling just a little less than last week. Brilliant. Because I was starting to feel like Homer Simpson, whose belly fat doesn’t stop moving even when he is standing completely still. (more…)

My Fitness Journey, Week Four: The What The Hell Am I Doing Week

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Jan 13, 2016 / 0 comments

Week Four of my Fitness Journey is done and dusted. Which means, uh oh, coz there are only eight weeks to go now till judgement day. The three weeks that have passed so far have been relatively uneventful in terms of results. I do feel a thousand times better and things do seem to be jiggling slightly less each day, but there is still too much body pudding for my liking. Or the liking of any other human with a set of working eyes to be honest. (more…)

Five New Years Resolutions That Are Good For The Soul.

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Jan 10, 2016 / 0 comments

New Years Resolutions. We all make ’em. We all forget ’em. Once the fireworks are over, the party hats are removed, the mascara has run down completely off your eyeballs, and the empty alcohol bottles have been pushed aside to make room for a Berocca and a serve of hot chips, something happens. Something that we can’t see but is there. (more…)

The Fitness Journey, Week Three: Sore, so Sore.

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Jan 6, 2016 / 0 comments

So, we are now up to week three of my “Fitness Journey”. Weeks one and two sure left something to be desired, and yet I had laughingly high hopes for Week three. Now, I would reeealllllly like to say that I haven’t done anything downright stupid this last week at the gym, except that if I did so I would be completely lying. And those of you who actually know me would instantly know it for a downright lie because I ALWAYS seem to do something stupid at the gym. (more…)

The Fitness Journey, Week Two: The Christmas week.

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Dec 30, 2015 / 0 comments

Well, its safe to say that Week One of my “Fitness Journey” was a bit rubbish. Missed it? Read about it here! Ok, so Week One may have been rubbish, you say. But how did you go on Week Two? Well, to be honest with you, Week Two also started off pretty poorly, but I eventually found my groove so it ended with an absolute BANG! Woohoo! You Go Girlfriend (I creepily whisper to myself as I sit here, typing out my memories from the week that was)!! (more…)

The Fitness Journey. Oh God.

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / Dec 23, 2015 / 0 comments

Well, it’s official. I have decided to put myself on a “Fitness Journey”. I recently decided that I am sick of not being able to fit into my pre-pregnancy “skinny” jeans without my mummy belly (which is a full size bigger than my legs these days) completely oozing out over the top. On the bright side I can still essentially do them up, however I just about have to forgo breathing for the entire time I wear them. And if those jeans don’t have room for lungs, then they certainly don’t have room for chocolate. And we can’t have that now, can we? (more…)

Hi! *waves madly*

If you hadn’t guessed already, my name is Ellyn Shepherd.

I am a secret (not so secret) dork, who has two crazy kidlets, a furball dawggy who thinks he is a human, and an incredibly tall husband who I adore to pieces, and who is made up almost entirely of his own beard… #WhattaHairyLegend

On this blog, I share the story of our live’s, and we love every single messy spewed upon, dribbled on, or pooped on second of it. Well, maybe not the pooped on parts but you know what I mean. #IAlwaysSmellLikePoopOrVomTheseDays

Every post is REAL and reflects the grey-hair inducing craziness that is parenthood, and I hope you like reading about it as much as I love talking about it… Cough, except I never actually shut up about it… Soz…
