Day 2

Finished up Day 2 work out. Of course, I am still on level 1. I could have sworn that this program is suppose to be done 30 days straight, but I just can't see how it give your muscles a break to rebuild themselves. I'll have to do more of a look up on that. Anyway, I did get through it. My muscles weren't sore today, but I definitely felt that they were weak during the workout. Hopefully it will get easier and as it gets easier it kinda gives your muscles somewhat of a break since it feels normal? I don't know... it's late and my brain is already asleep. I did notice that the workout seemed to go faster. Maybe because I knew what was coming, or because I wanted it to be done so I would pump myself up Circuit one, DONE! Two more to go!!! Circuit two, Done! More than half way there!!! Circuit three strength training done, two exercises left. OMG!!! Cardio finally DONE!!!! Only Abs to go... So, yeah. That's that of day two.

Not the exact picture I wanted, but basically says the same thing! Two days down, 28 days to go!!!

Day 1

It's late, and my bed time but I worked out late, so I decided to stay up late and write my post. I took my Day 1 pictures, and can I say... I really hope to see some improvement on Day 30!!!! I'll probably take an update picture every week, but in the end if I post it will be Day 1 to Day 30. Today, I started on Level 1 for apparently reasons. It's suppose to be Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days, and Level 3 for 10 days. So, obviously I am on Level 1. I don't have any weights. You are suppose to use three pound weights. I'm going to look for some cheap ones at the thrift store, and see if a friend has any. Otherwise, it'll have to wait for a little while. Sure, I could go to Walmart and buy them for 3 bucks a piece, but I'm trying not to go out and spend a ton of money. I have to say though... the workout was plenty hard without the weights. I just pretended I was holding weights and my muscles are in shock still. My arms are quivering just typing this out. My legs wanted to quit while I was walking up the stairs to take a shower, and coming back down stairs to blog???? My legs hated me and I felt like I was literally going to fall. So, there you have it. I'm extremely out of shape and probably wouldn't have been able to handle the workout with weights anyway. As it is, I did take a few breaks during this workout. Jillian says not to take longer than 5 seconds, and every time I tried to jump right back in. Sometime it felt like I was trying to punch with noodles but I did keep going. It is only Day 1 after all. If I could do this workout perfect on Day 1 then I need to jump right to p90x! Anyway, I hope that I can make it through Day 30. One day down, 29 to go!!!! I want to share a picture:

One of my biggest motivators, that pushed me to start this program was that I went out for my husbands birthday. My husband and a friend's fiance where being hit on by this girl. My friend's fiance leaned over and told me how hot that girl was. He wasn't wrong, she was pretty, she had a nice body. But... I know that no one there was secretly ogling me... and I will be honest... I want to be ogled. When I was a teen, I was oblivious to it. My boyfriend at the time would get so jealous. It was the big boobs that caught guys attention. Two kids later, my boobs might as well be called pancakes... big, flabby, flat pancakes that don't catch any eyes anymore. And, a belly full of fat. Some people would say that's stupid, but I don't care. Yes, I believe the above picture is true, but I want some forms of flattery too!

Here I Am

Starting again. I just bought Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. I have been really interested in starting p90x but while browsing blogs for before and after pictures, so have recommended starting with this program before moving on to p90x. I'll gladly try it because the start up for p90x isn't cheap, even if you buy it off of craigslist and what not. I have measured myself at a whopping: 217 lbs 41 inch waist 51.5 inch hips I will be taking picture shortly after I publish this post. I won't be publishing those pictures for now. Maybe at the end if my pictures would make good motivation for others. I haven't decided if I'm going to start tonight. The plan last night was to buy it and start it that night, but I had a family emergency that kept me out of the house until very early hours of the morning. I planned on starting it today but there are many eyes that could watch me and I'm still embarrassed about being seen exercising. I've tried to hype myself up the last couple of months by looking at inspirational pictures. One of my favorites is "Why are you doing this will soon be how did you do that?" Obviously, someone didn't think of that just for me, but I feel it really speaks to me, although I still can't get over my fear of someone making fun of me.
