Well…I survived Day 1 of my 30 Day Shred Challenge.  I’m sore this morning from doing push-ups.  I hate push-ups and they hate me too, but maybe in the next 30 days, I’ll be able to advance from my current “girl push-ups” to “real push-ups”.  We’ll see…

I’m going to try to get Day 2 done this morning so I can have as much recovery time as possible before tomorrow’s half marathon.

I need to run to our storage unit (or possibly the store) for hand weights this morning.  When I finally got myself motivated yesterday, I couldn’t find any weights.  I knew if I left my house, I might get distracted and never make it back for a workout, so I decided to use some canned veggies.  They worked just fine (although they’re much lighter than the weights I would have used).  I’ll keep you posted on my progress!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I have been seriously bleh lately.  I don’t know if I’m lacking willpower or motivation or both, but I haven’t been eating as well as I should and my exercise schedule has been iffy.  I know that I need to get my butt in gear.  I am sooo close to reaching my weight loss goal.  I’d hate to blow it now.

I’m also leaving on my annual girls shopping trip in 30 days.  I’d love to be in the best shape of my life when we go.

So I’ve decided to let Jillian Michaels kick my butt for the next 30 days.  For the next 30 days, I will be doing Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred every day (OK…not every day.  I’m doing a half marathon on Saturday so I’ll give myself that day off from shredding).  I tried to do 30 Day Shred once before and gave up on day 3 or 4, but I figured if I announce it on the blog I’m much more likely to stick with it.

If you’d like to join me in my 30 Day Shred quest, I’d love to have you.  You can purchase Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred on Amazon for $7.99 or you should be able to find it at Walmart or Target.  If you want to start today, you can also get 30 Day Shred on Amazon Instant Video.

I’ll be sharing my recap posts daily!  Leave a comment if you’re joining me…the more the merrier! And I’ll feel even more obligated to actually stick with it!
