my butt hurts.

And it’s all Jillian’s fault! Haha nahh I don’t hate her yet, but give it some time and I reckon I’ll cringe every time I hear her voice! I finished my first day of the 30 day shred and it was pretty tough. By the end, my arms were shaking and my butt feels like it’s going to fall off.

Like the cool kid I am, I used cans of peaches for my hand weights since I don’t own any (yet! my boyfriend has pretty pink ones he found in his room so tomorrow I’m going to steal them off him!) The peaches were only 825g each and I think Jillian uses 5 pound weights so next time it’ll be a bit harder.

As well as 30DS, I also did 80 more crunches, 50 bicycle crunches, 40 reverse crunches and 40 toe taps.

Had a pretty healthy day too:

  • Breakfast: 1/3 cup of porridge with brown sugar and non-fat milk
  • Lunch: Chicken wrap with avocado and a smidgen of sour cream. I also had an apple
  • Afternoon snack: 2 slices of orange
  • Dinner: Lamb cutlets (2 very small ones with the fat cut off), roast pumpkin, beans, capsicum, wilted spinach and mashed potato
  • Dessert: Vanilla ice cream with honey and banana

I was planning on doing C25K W2D1 today as well but I slept in til like 12:30 and ran out of time. I did manage to go for a half hour walk with my mum and little sister though.

Tomorrow I plan to do the C25K and 30DS then I’m heading off to the boyfriend’s house for dinner and to watch him play basketball. Fingers crossed they have something healthy for dinner!

Hope you all had a wonderful day :)

Day 2 + MyFitnessPal

Hello, and welcome to the very first post for 30 Days of Shredding. As creator and owner of this lovely blog, lemme just introduce to you what this shizz is all about:

  • This blog is to hold me accountable for the arduous, long-ass process otherwise known as ‘weight loss’ and ‘muscle toning,’ which will be achieved through the use of a torture device called ‘Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred.’
  • I shall be updating you on my progress almost every day.
  • Embarrassing ‘before’ and, hopefully wonderful, ‘after’ pictures will be posted in due time.
  • I swear sometimes. Fucking deal with it. 

So, there ya have it. A short and sweet intro to my blog. Now onto the good stuff.

Today marks Day 2 of Level One. I have tried the Shred DVD before, but  stopped using it soon afterward because I’m a sloth by nature and, well, sloths and good exercise don’t mix. This time will be different. This time, I will make the transition from pansy white girl to tough shit. Yeah. You heard me.

Day 2, for me, was harder than Day 1. Always is. Day 1 you’re all pumped and feeling badass and “LET’S DO THIS” and you’re ready for just about anything. Day 2, though, is when you feel your muscles twitch with every side lunge, when you’re ready to throw your hand weights at the screen because Jillian and her peppy cronies in the back are smiling like this shit is FUN.

Newflash: it’s not.

From past experience, however, the stuff gets easier as you go on. Just do it every day and you’ll feel different.

On a side note, I’ve got a MyFitnessPal account you can go to:
