Day 2 and odds and ends

Day 2 was hard as I knew it would be. I did the 30 day shred for 10 minutes until my right knee went POP. I then went down to the basement and got on the eliptical and did 7 minutes and then lifted weights for a few minutes and got back on the eliptical. My abs (ha!! to call that section of my body "abs" is a joke- more like fudge cake roll) are killing me as are my legs. This means it is WORKING folks.

I continued my quest to clean the basement and organized a bunch of stuff down there. It's getting better- I can actually see a HUGE improvement in it. Greg hasn't gone down yet. He doesn't like change at all and anything moved or out of place might tip him over. When he is ready he will go down.

Day 1 of 30 Day Shred

You can't see the sweat or hear the huffing and puffing. It's there, I assure you.
See that double chin?? It will be GONE.

Jillian Michaels is a task master, she also has the best abs in the world. Work. Blood, sweat and tears. Work.

Third Time is the Charm (or so I hear)

This is the Third time I have attempted this. I am going to keep it light, fun, picture filled and something that my kids can look at.

Today is the first day of my vacation and the first day of the 30 Day Shred. I am tired of being fat, tired of not having any clothes that fit me and tired of being out of breath at the top of the stairs.

I have to have goals so my goal is 30 lbs by Christmas. If all goes well with the 30 Day Shred I will be joining a gym. I would LOVE to take a kickboxing class or 2. Good stuff.
