Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I didn't forget to wear my GREEN. Did you?

*Sigh* today has been a long day. I am in such a funk today - hard to explain.

I am patiently awaiting mother's arrival tomorrow evening. She doesn't even arrive in Baltimore until 11:30pm but I am already anxious. I can only imagine what tomorrow will be like. Tom Petty said it right when he said, "The Waiting is the hardest part...."

The Shred Workout is getting a tad easier. I say easier only because I made it through the 25 minutes last night without resting. Hooray! I think by tomorrow I will be ready to try Phase 2. We shall see - I am very intimidated.

Bad Girls

Woo hoo! The Bad Girls Club Reunion is on tonight. The boyfriend and I have been counting down the hours - i realize how sad it is that we are so excited for a trash reality tv show but it is so GOOD!

I am on Day 5 of shred today. I realize that Day 5 doesn't add up from me starting exactly a week ago today but I had to skip a few days for good reason. let me explain....

I tried to do Shred Day #3 last Thursday evening but our DVD player pooped out which meant no work out.

I had to skip Day #5 and Day #6 because I was in Indiana and Louisville for Miss Meg Newton's Bridal shower and bachelorette party - too many festivities packed in one in a half short days.

I have not yet noticed any changes to my body but I am not expecting too much after this weekend - too much eating, drinking, and skipping the video. Maybe I will have better luck next week - half way through I plan on posting pics of changes.

SHRED!

After reading the Wedding Bee Blog last Friday, I was convinced that Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" workout video would do wonders for my body. Afer seeing a ton of before and after photographs and reading the bridal buzz on the video, I had to ordered it! So, last Friday, the boyfriend and I order the workout video from Amazon and had it rushed delivered. Lucky for me, it was waiting on the end table when I got home from work last night. I woke up early this morning, popped in the video, and followed her instructions very closely. I did not have the three pound hand weights needed for the workout so I did without and it was still so challenging.

The brides on Wedding Bee were talking about how after the first day, they were so sore that they couldn't move, cough, laugh, or even smile for three days. I am not feeling sore yet - that either means it is going to hit me tomorrow or that I didn't do something right.

I am going to try and take my measurements and pictures to document the 30 days! Stay tuned for the results...
