Jillian MIchaels

So if you've ever seen the Biggest loser you know that I'm talking about one of the tough trainers on the show.  Well last night I was walking around Target and I wandered over to the work out section.  A few days ago my co worker told me about the 30 day 20 pounds lost shred video Jillian Micahels had put out.  Well as I was looking at the videos I noticed that particular one was on sale for 9 dollars so I bought it.  I went home and kind of starred at it for a while, then put my gym shoes on and turned it on. 

WOW, was it amazing!  I'm in love with this video.  It's about 30 mins of just intense work out.  She goes from circuit to circuit of abs, strengnth training and cardio.  I didn't rest the entire time.  I can honestly say that I'm sore this morning in my legs (squats) but it feels so good.  I hate going to the gym and walking on the treadmill for 30 mins and then lifting weights on a machine its so monotonous to me.  This way I can work out in my home. (sorry to my neighbor below me!) It has three different levels and I started on level one which was pretty hard but I can honestly say I kept up pretty darn well.  I kept thinking if those enormous people on biggest loser can do this so can I.  I'm honestly excited about going home and doing it again tonight even though I'm sore.  It was just so fun and so quick and she keeps you motivated where as in a gym I've got no one.  I'm excited and proud of myself.  I would suggest this to anyone who needs the inspiration and motivation to get up and moving.  I'm looking forward to seeing some changes even if they are small :)  Or large changes who knows!! 

I decided I didn't want this blog to be just about weight because I get too much empahsis about my weight quite a bit and I want this blog to be about just personal journeys that I go on in life and being able to live it the best way I can!  But I felt like sharing this video with everyone who's looking to tone and get some weight off in a fun and quick way!

In other news,  my nephews birthday is Saturday, I can't beleive he's turning 2!  I took this picture a couple of weeks ago when I was babysitting, I know a lot of my pics are bath pics but that's the only time i can get him to stay still long enough, he's super busy.  Oh and he also requested I put the clippy in his hair.  He is so beautfiul and I love that sweet face and can't wait to meet his baby sister in July!!



And Happy Birthday to my mom today!

  2. I love the 30 day shred video! It is so hard and effective, but doesn't take too much time. I think I am going to try to start doing it in the mornings before work because it is so short...but, we'll see!
