Doing the Shred - Day 3
Apr. 8th, 2010 06:38 pmYes, that's right. I said Day 3. I started it (again) on Tuesday (Again because I initially started doing it in January, but missed a few days when I was out of town and just never got back...but since I'll be here for a good long while, I decided to make myself go for it.), but just started the blog today, so you're getting reports starting now.
Not gonna lie... The first few days (at least) of the 30-Day Shred are HELL. My quads are screaming at me with every step or every time I sit. My abs scream every time I cough or sneeze. My arm's aren't hurting quite as badly as they were when I started it the last time, so that gives me hope that there was at least some change.
I do remember that it got better after about Day 4, so I'm hopeful. :)
Now... Let me be honest here. Normally I'd never show this, but... To make it real, here's a pic I did with photobooth right after my workout today.
Oy. But it's gonna change. I'm gonna see to it!
I WILL make it through all 30 days of the Shred! Not only because I don't ever want to take a picture like that again, but also I'm giving myself incentive. See, I ADORE yoga. I just got out of the habit of going. BUT. Jillian Michaels has a new workout DVD - Yoga Meltdown. My favotire trainer coupled with my favorite exercise? DOUBLE WIN!
But the catch is... I'm not buying the Yoga Meltdown until I've gotten through the 30 days! I know me...if I buy it ahead of time I WILL open it and start. And while that wouldn't necessarily be bad, I want to finish this 30 day thing! So...double incentive!
Go me!
