30 day shred

Okay, I haven't updated. I've been sick and injured. I haven't been able to workout in a couple of weeks. I changed that this morning. I'll get to today's workout in a minute.

First, it really sucks to look so forward to spring just to be hit by allergies. I have been so congested for about a month that I'd think I'm losing all sense of smell except I can still taste food. And anyone who has studied the human body knows you have to have a sense of smell in order to taste. So, let's just say my sense of taste is impaired.

Second, never harass your daughter and put your hand behind her back. In the middle of your horse play there is a good chance she will sit back and your wrist will bend the wrong way. (Not your fault Miss Goofy, I take all the blame!) In any event that was on her birthday, which was about a week ago. This is the first morning I didn't care how bad it hurt I was going to workout anyway. Thank God for Aleve. I will be using it today. Probably more than I should.

Third, Music Man bought Jillian Michaels' new DVD, 30 Day Shred, for me. For some reason I was stupid enough to ask for it. Now, I know she didn't do the video specifically for me, but I do have to say, "I think that bitch is trying to kill me."

Okay that wasn't fair or nice, but it is a tough workout. It's only 20 minutes. But I put more into that 20 minutes than I usually do in an hour workout. Wow, are my muscles burning. I feel really good though. Course, I'll probably pass out around 9 but, I'll feel good until then.

As for my challenge to myself. The first week I gained a pound. It was Easter weekend though so I feel like one pound wasn't too bad. Last week I lost that pound. So, I'm back to where I started. Not where I would have liked but, at least I'm not further behind.

So, I have 20 pounds left to lose by my birthday. I have just over 4 weeks. I'm going to have to really watch what I eat, (count those points) and make sure I exercise everyday. I can at least get out and walk. In fact, I think I'll try and do that this afternoon. Assuming it doesn't rain like it's threatening to do. And I need to go grocery shopping this morning. I am going to try really hard to just buy healthy stuff. Although I was really good and kept track of the Easter candy I ate. I do need to have an idea of what to buy though, so I'm going to end this and go look at recipes. I should have done that yesterday, but I was swollen in the sinuses and not much got done.

Have a great day and I'll try to keep updating.
