I am Sore

On Monday, I worked out to the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. It was 20 minutes long and KICKED MY ASS!!

Yesterday, I felt slightly sore, and was pretty surprised because 20 minutes of exercise should not make me sore. In fact I'm almost NEVER sore. I even went to Latin Jam last night and was fine.

Today...OMG!!!

I am so effing sore that I am walking funny. Apparently, it takes two days to kick in. It even hurt to sit down! I still went to Latin Jam tonight but didn't have as much of a spring in my step.

I'll do the 30 Day Shred again the next time I don't take an exercise class. I am sold - those are some powerful 30 minutes.

It Does Everything but Lose Weight For Me

Today I bought this scale:

It measures so many different things (like bone density, water level, etc...) that it practically loses the weight for me. Sadly, I must actually lose the weight myself.

I did not go to the gym today. I tried Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD instead. I think I will try to do it on the days I don't workout by going to the gym or to Latin Jam (today I didn't get home with the monkeys until 8:30pm and was too tired to go to the gym).

It won't be 30 continuous days of her shred program, but will get me working out more than I have been. I am also counting on it to rev up my system by changing part of my workout. I can safely say that I was SWEATING by the time those 20 minutes were up, and I did level 1 (out of 3). I'll report back on my progress.

The last piece is my diet. I will continue on that path tomorrow.

Over Labor Day we are going on vacation to a resort in Napa. I will be in a bathing suit for 5 days with people who have known me since I was the monkeys' age.

This is the 6 week push to that event. Does anyone else want to challenge themselves to a 6 week fitness goal?

I will post my progress here. Please keep me accountable.
