Day 4... Oops

Ok so listen, Thursday like I said I had to take a break. But then Friday came and I worked my regular shift which is 7 am -5:30 pm... then had to go back in at Midnight till 6 am since I was on call. Yeah right was I doing anything close to the 30 day shred. Yesterday was obviously the Sabbath. So I resolved to start again today.

Which I did! It felt great! Like I still wanted to die, but I could actually do it this time. Then I went to the gym for an hour. Yes you heard me right! Feeling like an over achiever!

I ate healthy today too. For dinner Garren and I had a raspberry cilantro salsa salad, with: avocado, black beans, and ground turkey. YUM.

I can feel myself getting more energy! My sister Jessican and my sister-in-law Heather are doing this too! YAY US!

Day uh... Break

So I didn't do the exercise video today... I worked 12 hours... and just don't want to. So sue me. I guess that means I will be doing it tomorrow and Saturday so its still 5 days a week.



P.S. Garren got his tonsils out last week and I think he may be dying. Its quite frightening. Keep him in your prayers!

Day 3

Do this work out. All of you. Now. Its so great. It kills you but you feel it every where! I have never had a work out where literally all of my muscles feel used!

I keep thinking its going to get easier... I suppose i should give myself more than 3 days!

Day 2

Well I got up this morning and to my surprise I wasn't NEAR as sore as I thought I'd be. My muscles are tight and a little shaky but I can sit down with out having to drop to the chair like I did the first time I did this video a few weeks back.

I of course didn't feel like doing it, but decided I might as well get it out of the way. I wish I had more endurance. I use to run miles a day and feel fine. Now 30 seconds into jumping jacks I feel like quitting. Don't worry I won't.

I ate VERY well yesterday.... until I went to my lovely mother in law's. That woman can cook! Gosh its all so good. Really none of it was all that bad until I ate about 1/4 of a loaf of monkey bread.

Oh boy.

Day 1

Worked 9 hours today... and then remembered I had to do Jillian's video. I think my exact thoughts were somewhere along the lines of, "NOOOOOOOOOOO ahhhhhhhh wahhhhhhh :("

However I got my gear, filled up my water bottle, and worked it. Kind of. I tried.

In my head I think, "I can do anything for 30 seconds." 15 seconds later I am certain the grim reaper himself is knocking on my door. Of course Jillian is telling you to man up and stop being a pansy the whole time. She says NO breaks whatsoever. "You're not going to die"

I admit I rebelled. I took a drink. I then proceeded to choke. Lesson learned Jillian.

Can't wait to wake up paralyzed in the morning and then do it all again. It will be worth it right? Cheers ;) 

New Years Resolution

Well it's that time of year again! Time to set goals! I have set many and one of the biggest is to lose weight and get into shape again. So I have decided to use my soon to be best friend (and arch nemesis) Jillian Michaels.

The Mission: Work out to her video "30 Day Shred" 5 times a week (first month on the first level, second month on the second level, and finally March will be on level three. Assuming of course I survive the first 2 months!

The Goal: Lose 30 lbs, Tone Up, and be able to walk up a flight of stairs with out feeling like I may die of a heart attack.

.....and every day you get to hear about the journey! Lucky you!! My goals also include some gym sessions and eating healthier so I will include other workouts I do and yummy healthy recipes!

All right Jillian do your worst.

I would post a before picture.... but that's far to embarrassing. Maybe at the end I will do a before and after. Yay? Nay?
