Day 23, Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred level 2 (day 6)

I took 2 days off (at Chuy's on one of those nights) and got back on the wagon tonight.  I was terrified that it would be impossible (I had issues when I skipped days at level 1) but I was able to do it more easily than ever.  I still cannot complete the last ab circuit (it's a plank move after 3 other plank activities so my arms and wrists can't hold up at the end) but I do 30 seconds of the twisty-plank thing and then switch to bicycle crunches.

Either way, I'm excited at my strength and endurance.  I feel so powerful doing my workout.  I always am apprehensive but I feel sooooo good while I do it.  Today I even thought, "Someday I really will make it to level 3."  I don't know when that day will be but it's not that far off I don't think :).

Day 22, 30 day shred (day 5 level 2)

I am up late but I worked out so I'm satisfied!  I almost didnt do the workout but I'm soooooo glad I stuck it out.  Go me! :)

Weekly weigh in a day early

I decided to weigh today so that Gavin and I can get Chick-fil-a tonight (Brady's headed out of town for a couple of days) and I weigh 152.7!  That's 2 pounds in a week, which is crazy!  I think that really shows how much harder level 2 works you than level 1!

day 21, Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred level 2 (day 4)

Woohoo!  I pushed through even though I wasn't motivated and was lethargic.  I had REALLY high bloodsugar (410--not sure why, not normal for this time of day) but I worked out nevertheless.  It was TOUGH!  But I pushed through and only had to stop once to down some agua.

I'm so proud of me!

Day 20, 30 day shred, level 2 day 3

Salad is not enough for a workout and I learned that the hard way today! I cheated and weighed yesterday morning after eating and while wearing jeans and I weighed 154! So hopefully I'll be 153.something on Wednesday!
