The 30 Day Shred Day 5-10

Hello all!!! I bet you thought I stopped shreddin' didn't ya! Nope, although it's slowed down just a bit. My baby girl (now 11 yrs old) had a birthday. With everything going on and such, I wasn't able to keep up with my drill Sgt. Jillian...YES, I will do my push-ups for punishment...wait, she already makes me do those ;)


ANYWAY- I hit the 10 day mark. That means I need to weigh/measure in and give an update. I managed to get in 5(6 ?) out of 10 days of workouts in. Since that equals out to every other day I don't feel so bad.

How do I feel? I feel like I could move to level 2...we'll see how I feel about that tomorrow. I don't dread the it and I am keeping up with everything rather than cutting out a few moves here and there.


How do I look? The same :) Pictures aren't going to be coming until the end. Weight is up 2 lbs and inches are down 2 1/4...Not too bad.

Weight 185 187

The 30 Day Shred Day 3 & 4

It took me a bit of time to catch my breath... 2 days to be exact but I'm still at it. Since I was "on a date" Tuesday I wasn't able to squeeze in the 20 min workout. Getting home past midnight and having to get up at 7 was bad enough and I wasn't about to take any extra time before I crawled into my cozy bed. So I did skip a day and I'm ok with that.

A birthday party and grocery shopping were on the menu last night. After getting everything put away, I was NOT in the mood  SUPER excited to pick up my weights and get to workin out. I will say that I don't really care for Jillian's mouth - I detest motivational speaking (when working out) and if someone says "just a couple more" they should practice what the preach. Hopefully after tonights workout I will know the routine enough to just listen to music until I hit up level 2 (Jan 7th). 

How do I feel? I feel great and have noticed that I have more energy. My muscles are tighter and I feel a difference when wearing a pair of my jeans. I am tempted to take my measurements and weight but I holding off until day 10.

How do I look? The same :)

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed New Year!

The 30 Day Shred Day 2

If you google 30 day shred and read the reviews on the program, you will most likely find most people couldn't do the 2nd day because of being so sore from day 1. I was determined to get through day 2 and I am I proud to say that I did it!!! It wasn't easy and during some of the lunges I couldn't lift my weights but I continued; during the last 1 min of bicycle crunches I had to do just crunches (no legs) but I pressed on. I can tell that this is going to be a great all around workout that can be done in 20 min. I am a busy working wife and mother and still have found time to do it. Of course I could make excuses about time and wanting to get other things done around the house but as with any task you just need a "I am gonna get this done now" attitude. If I am not a healthy homemaker than I am not going to be a productive homemaker nor will I be a good role model to my daughter. Here's to day 2, day 3 here I come...



Has anyone else tried this workout? Let me know what you thought...

The 30 Day Shred Day 1

Say it with me "I think I can, I think I can"... 


It's official - I started the 30 day shred yesterday. I knew it was going to be tough but it totally kicked my rump!!! And if that wasn't enough, it was just as hard to see my measurements down on paper. When your pants get a bit tighter you know that you have gained weight but I guess I didn't realize how much. OK, I am just gonna get down to business so I can hit up day 2 of the shred. Please understand that it takes great difficulty in putting my "body" out there so please choose to Edify  with your words as Amy puts it.

Stay tuned to see my progress...Yep, I am planning on progression not regression :)
