Jillian 30 day shred: Day 1

Wow, it's been awhile. And during that long period where I have ignored this blog, I also ignored my health.
I do this all the time. I get all excited about being healthy and exercising, I don't see immediate results, I get discouraged, and then I think, well, if my body refuses to trim down, then screw this, I will enjoy my life and have fun! Because at the end of the day, I hate exercising. It's boring and I hate sweating. And I often hate eating healthy. I hate forcing myself to limit how much I eat. Because I love food.

Anyway, it's usually easier for me to eat healthy during the summer when veggies are cheap, I can get groceries more often, and I can actually sit around and make nice dinners. This doesn't happen so much now that Paul and I are busy working. We get home at 4pm and are busy doing chores, socializing, etc. so that dinners have mainly been frozen pizzas. I try to occasionally make something healthy, like today, we are having french onion soup and homemade bread. And tomorrow and Saturday we will eat leftovers of this meal. But for the most part, working means I don't feel like thinking about food. And neither does my kitchen helper Paul. :)

We decided to try to workout again. This time, hopefully with dramatic results. We have started the Jillian 30 day shred that is so popular right now. I don't like to do 'fads', but hey, if there is a program that pretty much promises results in 30 days, I will try that out! Maybe that will inspire me to keep working on staying healthy and trim.

Paul and I did day 1 yesterday. He is more sore than me, probably because his weights are heavier. And because he is doing T-180i or some kind of super guy workout on the nights that I work late. But I just finished my last night class for 5 weeks, so we should be able to workout every day for 30 days. We will see how it goes with today's workout!
