Jillian Michaels is a Pain in my A**

Literally. I did my first day of the "30 Day Shred" this morning, and I am feeling it. It really didn't seem too bad while I was doing it.

Okay, well not quite. I did have to stop a few times for a breather (even though she says this isn't an option) and my 5 pound weights were dropped after a while as I swear they got heavier as the dvd went on.

But my strength training classes at the gym are more difficult - really. The dvd is a nice option to have, however, when I know I'm not going to make it to the gym.

And if I'm feeling it this much after just a few hours, who knows how I'll be feeling later. I will keep you posted.

And soon I will be looking like this again - and hopefully better! (This is my inspiration photo on my desktop at work - me and my fiance in September 2007) :)

What do you use for inspiration when trying to get in shape?

  3. Sherrlyn of http://www.BorkgrenPhoto.net says...I don't read girly magazines anymore. They are loaded with food ads. The more they advertise as to how to lose weight the more high cal food ads are inside.
