30 Day Shred

I've begun the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. I missed the past 2 nights but tonight is day #4 :) I love this workout! If you've never tried it or heard of it, it's 20 minutes of strength, cardio, and abs rotatations with no stopping, no rests and no breaks. It has 3 levels that you're supposed to start every 10 days, or whenever you feel you are ready to move on to the next level! It's fun and quick and intense! I've also been obsessively watching The Biggest Loser on Netflix.

Starting Stats:

Weight: 182

Height: 5'1"

Chest: 44

Waist: 43

Hips: 44

Week 1: FAIL!

I'm irritated at myself! I missed 3 nights of workouts this past week. No excuses! I am getting more prepared though. I bought some new earplugs for my Ipod for when I start walking, I bought "Biggest Loser 30 day Jump Start", and just got a free 2 year subscription to Shape magazine thanks to SwagBucks! :) [Click Here To Start Your Account to earn swagbucks that you can turn into gifts, cash, prizes and gift cards!]

I also downloaded two Jillian Michaels workouts; 30 Day Shred & Fat Boost. I would like to alternate between those two workouts and pilates, and somehow fit some walking into the day. I'm ready to go grocery shopping and start trying these new recipes I have been finding! :)

Stay Fit Ladies!

I am not good with diets. I never have been, and I probably never will be. I've decided the only way to do this is to back in from somewhere else. So, before the actual "better eating/dieting" begins, I figured I'd do weekly challenges. If I can do it for a week, shouldn't I be able to do it for a lifetime?

This coming week, I'll challenge myself to work out EVERY day for at least 20 minutes to start out. Last night, I tried Pilates for the first time and I truly loved it! It doesn't feel like you're doing a lot but once you're done, the burn is amazing. So, this week while I'm trying to find workouts that I enjoy, I'll be preparing myself for Week 1 Challenge!

Under Construction!

This site will document my weight loss starting in November of 2011. I will also make posts about exercise, recipes and frustrations. I will photograph my body from start to finish once a week and post about weight changes. I'd love your support and I hope to help others as well! :)
