Morning of Day Three

Ok,
So this is the morning of Day 3 for me. Yesterday was day one for the other teachers. After the shred we went out to the track to power walk. I kept telling them... "The best thing to do is to keep moving so that your blood can carry away all of the lactic acid that you just built up." There were only two of us that did more than one lap.

Four laps is a mile.

Now I know that some of them had commitments, and I am going to have other commitments on other days. I just hope that they didn't come yesterday, get really sore today, and then quit on me today.

Upside so far: I don't know if it is my imagination or if it is real but I can see a muscle in my arms. Even when I am not flexing. Then when I flex, I can see my bicep. That's a good sign, right?

Downside so far: It HURTS to get up and down. Espeically off of the tiolet. I am afraid I am going to get stuck half way down and miss teaching my classes. That's a bad sign, right? Maybe I can get my College Track legs back. Man, those were the best of legs. Maybe they won't be so muscly that they won't be huge.

Gotta go, a shreder is here to complain about how sore she is.

Shred Head (yah I know... real creative)

So,
As most of you know, I love to read this blog. Well, as I was perusing it last week Big Mama wrote about a work out video that she had just bought to try. It is Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

Now I know what you are thinking... "I know Billy Blanks. I know Denise Austin, but who is this Jillian Michaels chick? Well... She happens to be the girl trainer on the show The Biggest Looser. Yah, the annoying one with brown hair.

Normally this personality would not motivate me.

At all.

But the girl has the most amazing abs, that I can't ignore. I do not have abs. Well I know that they are there, but they are hiding behind all of the pregnancy fat.

Oh wait...

I do have abs, but they are hiding behind all of the Dove Chocolate and ice cream fat. Yah... that's more accurate.

Anyway, I have decided that I can give up twenty minutes to an hour each day to bettering my non abs and floppy arms body. I will do it all in the name of, "Because It's Good For Me."

I did the first day yesterday. I think that it had to be the most intense 20 minutes of my life, or at least right up there. Right along with volleyball two-a-days and my wedding day.

I'll try to keep you updated on my progress... somewhat for my own accountability, and somewhat because it might be enough to inspire you to at least check out the video.

Even if you watch it sitting on the couch eating Dove Chocolate and Ice Cream.
