Oh the rain has gone and the sunshine has returned! I am so happy! Three straight days of rain flooded my poor patio garden and made the grass grow super fast. Fortunately my plants seem to be doing fine! Some of my lettuce sprouts got pushed around but I'm sure they'll bounce back.
So while I'm here...I have a confession. Remember how my husband and I were doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred? Well, we went back to Richmond for the weekend and got totally thrown off schedule! We've skipped almost an entire week! I know, I know...for shame!
So far we've completed Level 1, which we came to enjoy! I'm so mad we let ourselves skip so many days! As punishment for our lack of commitment, we're not going to go through Level 1 again, we're going to push on through to Level 2. Take that, slacker-self.
We're hoping to start back up ASAP! Tonight we have friends coming over and tomorrow my husband will be out of town for work all day so the plan is to get out butts back in gear on Saturday!
We'll see how it goes. Level 2 let's do this!
What do you do when you get thrown off course from your workout schedule? How do you fight to keep your consistency? How do you reward yourself?
Till next time,
Catherine

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred-Day 10
Alright...here I am, after 10 straight days of doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred-Level 1! I'm surviving!
Day 1 was definitely hard but Days 2-4 were probably the worst because I was SO SORE! My husband started doing it with me on my Day 2 and he was the same way. But once Day 5 rolled around I was confused because suddenly walking down the stairs didn't hurt anymore! How about that. You really just have to push through the pain and your muscles will get stronger.
Day 6 and 7 I could tell a definite increase in my endurance during the cardio. I wasn't stopped for breathers and water breaks as often and I was doing push ups like a champ! Ok I'm still doing "girl push ups" but I think I'll be rocking the "man push ups" in no time!
Days 8-10 I felt less motivated to do the workout but I made myself stick with it. It was a combination of it being a lazy weekend and Brian being out of town so I was doing it alone. It really helps to have a workout partner to motivate you!
I've got mixed feelings about Level 2 because I've read/watched multiple reviews that say Level 2 isn't good or fun. On the other hand, I'm ready to move on and continue to get stronger and healthier! Subscribe and follow my blog (both options are on the right side of the page) to see how it goes!
Results: I've lost about 8 pounds!!! I can hardly believe it! I'm so ready to keep this up if this is the direction it's taking me!
Are you doing it with me? If not, start now! Let's do this together!!
Till next time,
