Self Incrimination

So...I'm starting a little experiment of sorts.  I started doing a Jillian Michael's video every few days for the past few weeks.  She's intense and it's great workout!  The one I have is called "Extreme Shed and Shred" but I know she has others...a 30 day shred, in particular.  So I thought, ok...what if I strictly do this video every day for the next 30 days?  Will there be much of a difference in my body?  I'm anxious for there to be some sort of difference!  I mean, come on, it's getting closer to the 80s here, which is closer to summer, which is closer to swimsuit season.  You get the idea.

Anyway, I hear this whole being "in shape" thing might have something to do with what I eat, but we'll get there.  Inevitably the more you work out, the less junk you want to eat.  I haven't decided if I want to commit to her meal plan that comes with the DVD, because I'm kind of anti-dieting, but the truth is...most of the time I have no idea what to eat.  So...I might take a peek at it and decide if it's right for me.

Ok, so my plan is to do Level 1, five days a week for 2 weeks, then Level 2 for 2 weeks, and then the full hour with both workouts for the last 2 weeks.  I know...I'm going to die.  But I need some motivation right now.  Don't worry, I'll still be running when I can, especially on Saturdays, and not just because I got new shoes and am super stoked to break them in!  Mostly it's because I love running too, so that won't be going away any time soon.

Why am I posting this, you ask?  Because now I'm accountable.  Also...I took "Before" pictures and thought of posting them...until I saw them.  Now, nobody but me (and my poor mother, who had to take them) will get to see them.  If the results are awesome, I may get crazy and post them...but you'll really have to prove that you're good friends...bc they aren't pretty.

Sigh...I Heart this Song

I know you've all heard me rave before about how much I love this group, expecially after I saw them live last year.  But seriously, how can you not love them?  Magical every time.  Maybe this is my theme song right now, maybe.
