Day 1: 30 Day Shred

Well I guess yesterday was technically day 1, but I'm not counting it as we didn't do the work-out to it's fullest. We started too late at night (10pm) and we were still working so we kept having to stop.

Jason and I have decided to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred for the next month. We took our weight and measurements and we are going to do it each day and see if her claims are true (BIG weightloss/inches lost as well as much more stamina). I am hoping to weightloss, to get toned and definitely more stamina. I want to be able to jog again.

So we started it last night and man oh man, was it hard!! I had watched it earlier and thought it looked easy *hahahahaha!* It literally kicked my ass! It kicked Jason's too, so I didn't feel quite as bad then. We collapsed on the couch after and literally didn't move for about 30 minutes. The stairs up to bed were rough. I slept better last night though than I have in a while!

This morning I was a little stiff, more than sore. So I got my shoes on and went out for a 3.5km walk which I did in about 30 minutes. Felt good!

Sometime today Jay and I will do what I consider Day 1 of the Shred. I am going to try and update each day to let you know how it goes.

Now onto my weight & measurements:

BMI: 30.66 *ugh!*

Neck: 14"

L Bicep: 12.5"

R Bicep: 13"

L Forearm: 9.5"

R Forearm: 10"

Food today has been good. 2 slices of raisin toast for breakfast and an organic apple after my walk. Salmon on wholewheat for lunch and fajitas for dinner. Organic carrots as a snack later.

Recipes haven't been that exciting lately, although last night I did make my best "chicken parmesan with aglio e olio" - it was super YUM and I could have eaten several plates, but didn't.

More later...after the next "Shred"...
