After hearing so much about Jillian Michael’s 30-Day Shred on other blogs I had to check it out. Since I decided a few weeks ago that joining the gym wasn’t an option, I ordered 3 of her DVDs to keep me busy at home. Hoping these workouts will be good on my days off from running I gave one a try.
I started my morning off with Jillian’s 30-Day Shred workout. This is the one I’ve heard the most hype about. As a first timer I started with level 1 as she instructed. The DVD is made up of 3 workouts (level 1,2, and 3) that you progressively work through. Each level is 20 minutes of continuous workouts alternating between strength, cardio, and abs.
I have tried a lot of these quickie 20-minute workouts and never see results or feel very challenged. Jillian held her word and worked my ass hard during those 20 minutes. I have a feeling these workouts are going to be good! Come on, she is referred to as America’s toughest trainer.
Soon I’ll try the other DVDs- No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism.
Once at work I had breakfast- PB oats :)
Amy’s came back into my life today around 1:00. I promise I’ll never cheat on her again! Today I had the low fat Minestrone soup that is by far one of the best. Next time I’ll look for low sodium in this flavor. No wonder I like it so much with all the salt!
After lunch I made some hot tea to fill the rest of my belly :)
Side note: I drink water all day long. I don’t see the need to post it everyday but I keep a 24-ounce bottle at work that I fill up at least 3 times a day. Yesterday I had 3 bottles before even eating lunch. Just to give you an idea. I’m always thirsty and can never get enough ice-cold water. I read once that you should drink half your weight in ounces of water each day. There’s my little fact of the day :)
Not too much going on this evening. Take a peak at my to do list.
Make dinner- grilled vegetables over brown rice
Pack Jeff’s lunch and my oatmeal
Set out work and warm running clothes for tomorrow
Bake M&M cookies with leftover candy (while Jeff’s at basketball)
Relax
There you have it! Stay warm tonight wherever you are.
See ya tomorrow!

I tried the Shred on Youtube and I couldn't make it through! It was so tough! I'm someone who needs to work out at a gym to be held accountable!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the gym! I just can't afford it right now so I'll be hanging (or trying to anyway) with Jillian :)
