Day Two…or too bad so sad.

Day two will be postponed as I am suffering from a serious bout of Food Poisoning thanks to some less than stellar Pho.

Day 1 of the 30 Day Shred

Jillian Michaels is no joke.

The DVD is as good as any class I’ve ever taken. I felt thoroughly worked out and will definitely be continuing.

Notes:
*i don’t have hand weights but will
be getting some shortly.
*i plan to stay at level 1 for a week, maybe a week and a half if I get hand weights and it adds a challenge.
*Living in an old building makes the cardio part a bit difficult. I can only imagine what the downstairs neighbors are thinking while I am doing jumping jacks at 8am.
*I need a better sports bra.
*Keeping my hair straight/blown out is going to be difficult. My curly roots were not playing.

30 day shred.

I’ve been lamenting the fact that I cant afford a gym membership….and then i decided, rather than sit and think about that, I could find ways to workout at home. So….I bought Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

Hopefully this will kick my ass and really get things moving.

We’ll see.

Truth

Time for some honesty…after hitting the scale and seeing little change, I started playing kind of fast and loose with my diet. Still cutting sugar, still drinking my slimfast and lots of water/tea but not without as much care as I had been.

I have a Bridesmaid’s dress to fit into in October so I need to stay motivated.

Moment of truth?

Met a scale. Bad news….here’s the damage: 199.6

No lie, gonna try again in the am hoping to have digested my food hahaha.

Wish I would have had an accurate weight when i started to know if this dieting has been working. I feel good….but the number hurts.

Keep it moving…

Glad to report things are going well on my end. I feel good. I can feel the difference in my body and am just starting to feel some changes in my clothing/fit. It may be time to find a scale just to figure out where things are….

Things I have noticed:

* Cravings are mental and when i fixate, I fail. 

*Keeping busy is the best.

* Sugar isn’t as appealing when you have been off of it for a while.

*It’s tough. Delicious things abound.
