Day One Day 30

Day 28

I have been so excited with all of the changes I have seen in my body. I know I need to keep going with this after the 30 days. I still have a long way to go.

But there is nothing like going clothes shopping to bring you face to face with reality. I was excited to go get some new stuff. I must have forgotten what it is like to stand in front of those mirrors with those fluorescent lights on. I got lots of stuff, plus a bad mood. I just have to keep reminding myself how much I have accomplished already and that I will not quit.

Only 2 more days and I will be posting my 30 day picture.

Day 21

So I am still hanging in there. I was happy to be done with Level 2. I expected Level 3 to be hard, but I figured with how hard I have been working it couldn't be that bad. Boy was I wrong. Seriously, I think I said "No way." "What???" "You have to be kidding me." "No way is she going to make me use those weights too." all at least 20 times. I only finished about 3/4 of it and I used the easier way of doing things. I feel great minus the inability to raise my shoulders or turn my head all the way. Thank god Kyle is here to give me a massage. He can't believe that I am working this hard and still doing it.

I have lost 3 pound since starting, not a lot, but still OK. I am still being careful with what I eat. Though I admit it is much harder with him home. Now I actually have to cook. I have definitely lost some inches. I am determined to finish the 30 days.

Day 15

Still going at it. I have lost about 3 pounds. But I really can see a difference. I must be getting stronger because I am able to finish a lot more of the things I couldn't before. Here are some new pics.

Day One Day 15

Day 12

I have been doing Level 2 for three days now. I cannot believe that I ever complained about Level 1. There are times I just collapse on the floor in a big pile of mush. By the end, I feel like I am going to throw up. I understand what Jillian means by "gargling your heart." The scale has gone down 1 more pound. But I totally see some results now. I can't swear it's all from the shredding. But I think it is definitely helping. Tomorrow I will post some new photos.

Day 9

I am still at it. Though not very happily. I am a little disgusted since I have only lost 1 pound in ten days. I think I was losing more just doing the Y. Or maybe I have hit a plateau?

This workout still kicks my ass. That bothers me. I am doing all the moves, but man am I tired when I am done. I think I am just frustrated tonight. What I really want to do is stop counting calories and eat a cake all by myself.

Day 7

Done. Went to the Y this afternoon too. I hate when Jillian says by day 5,6, or 7 you will notice that you aren't getting as tired, you're stronger, whatever it is she says. It's a lie. Maybe just a little lie since I am able to do some real push ups now and I fly through the last cardio. But my arms are still SO tired that I think I cannot possibly do "Just a few more." When are my arms going to catch up? I am so afraid of workout 2.

Aaron has grown tired of the workout. Now he just wants to be in my way. Today he decided to build a wooden block tower right behind me. He kept reminding me to be careful. He is so helpful.
