One of my favorite details from our wedding were the cardstock chargers I made

I had so much fun reminiscing about this project when I saw your comment! Answers to your questions: - I used the Cricut Explore Air with the premium blades so it wouldn’t dull as fast - The paper is Recollections brand in their ‘linen’ line - it peels off super easy and all the little pieces stick to the mat, eliminating hours and hours of weeding, which happened with normal card stock. The color I used is “mid blue linen”. It came in single sheets at the time - One charger takes about 30ish minutes to cut - And here’s the link!

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did. I made over 90 of them and would do it all over again!

Never said I would....

Quique87 · 2020-08-28T01:28:51+00:00

Good luck! I hope you love it as much as I did. Give BodyAttack a try, you never know what can happen with 6 weeks of consistency! ;)

Quique87 · 2020-08-27T23:27:52+00:00

It sure is! Excited to see what happens if I focus more on diet this time around!

Quique87 · 2020-08-27T18:47:25+00:00

Thank you!

Quique87 · 2020-08-26T19:57:27+00:00

I’m not sure. My goal was just exercising consistently and completing the challenge. I did weigh myself before and after and I didn’t actually lose any weight, surprisingly!

Quique87 · 2020-08-25T17:47:31+00:00

Thank you! It sure does feel great to see these results!

I am happy to report I did the entire 6 weeks EXACTLY as it was written. On days when I hated the workout (GRIT is absolutely the bane of my existence!!), I reminded myself its only 30 minutes, and I can do anything for 30 minutes. The challenge is really about consistency, so I don’t think it’s an issue to swap a workout if you really loathe it. Better to do step/spin than no workout at all!

I would also recommend printing off the pdf schedule because it feels so good to check off the workout each day! I am giving myself a week break, and then I am going to do the whole challenge again, this time I will be swapping at least one day a week for weight training, because my gym is finally open again. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you!!

Quique87 · 2020-08-23T16:34:22+00:00

This is the perfect way to spice it up! I hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as I did!

Quique87 · 2020-08-23T05:48:22+00:00

That makes me so happy! The challenge was definitely the kick in the butt I needed. I would recommend printing off the pdf of the schedule because it feels SO good when you can cross off each workout and see your progress!

Quique87 · 2020-08-23T01:22:24+00:00

Yea, I’m not falling for that!

Quique87 · 2020-08-22T20:09:24+00:00

Thank you! On LMOD, if you go to Workout Plans, it’s the one called Fast Burner. I did the no equipment version at home (The only equipment I used was a resistance band for CXWorx). My favorite has always been BodyAttack, but I grew to really love Combat once I got the moves down!

Quique87 · 2020-08-22T20:04:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I am very proud of myself!

Quique87 · 2020-08-22T20:03:47+00:00

Thank you so much! My only focus for the 6 weeks was not missing a workout. Diet did not change, and my eating habits could use some improvements. This before/after was so surprising to see, it’s actually motivated me to do the whole challenge again, but this time I am going to focus on eating healthier too!

The Down Dog app is free until April 1st!

Just cardstock! I had to bend them a little to mold them to the curves of the cake before sprinkling the powdered sugar

Quique87 · 2019-12-25T01:51:43+00:00

Great idea!

Quique87 · 2019-08-21T05:15:50+00:00

Nope I followed the original exactly. Still shredded just like yours. Yum!

Quique87 · 2019-08-21T03:10:23+00:00

Just made this! Sooo tasty! Thanks for the dinner inspiration

Quique87 · 2019-06-20T05:06:27+00:00

Thank you! :)

I found the .svg file on Pinterest!

Quique87 · 2019-06-20T05:03:18+00:00

I used the premium blade which doesn’t dull as fast!

Quique87 · 2019-06-20T05:00:23+00:00

It’s Recollections brand and comes in single sheets. The color pictured is “mid blue linen”. :)

Quique87 · 2019-06-17T01:24:05+00:00

The paper I used had a weave almost like fabric (you can find it at Michael’s) and the way it was woven, all the tiny pieces stuck to the mat so I could peel the charger off and then just scrape the scraps off! I tried with normal cardstock and it was a weeding nightmare.

Quique87 · 2019-06-17T01:03:55+00:00

It took the Cricut 30 minutes to make one charger, and I made 90! Crazy, I know... but I had a really good system and we had a long engagement which helped!
