I made one New Years resolution this year. Complete Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred dvd. I started on January 4th. I did really good for a week, then I got sick. I skipped one day and was slowly plodding through it. Then I got bored. So I skipped two days. Basically, I'm 22 days through it. I wanted to get through it before we went to Hawaii on Feb 8th, but I don't know if that's going to happen. I would love to say that I'll do it every day from now until then, but lets be honest here. I won't. I have every intention of doing it, but it probably won't happen.
I'm finally up to Level 3 and let me tell you, that mother is hard. It looks easy when you compare them to levels one and two, but pa-cha. It's not. The sumo squats? Holy mother of God. Those HURT. Whenever I've read reviews where the people have said that they yell and scream at Jillian, I wondered who could be crazy enough to do that. I AM. It hurts so bad that I have to yell at her to distract myself so I don't quit. It hurts right now just thinking about what I'm going to be doing tonight.
So have I lost weight? I've lost about 7 pounds. My clothes fit a little better. Other than that, it hasn't been a huge amount of progress. It's not like I was planning on being in a bikini on the beaches of Hawaii, but I did want to feel comfortable in the clothes that got a little tight over the holidays. We went to Old Navy on Saturday to get Kelsey a bathing suit and some flip flops. I grabbed a pair of bermuda shorts for myself--the same size as my other pair of ON bermuda shorts. I got home and THEY WERE FREAKING TIGHT. I know this sounds so lame, but I don't want to go up a size. When I started losing my pregnancy weight after four freaking years and went down in pant size, I promised I would never get back up to that size. So I really don't want to. But I also don't want to waste $30 on shorts that I may or may not wear. Ugh.
As far as the 30 Day Shred, I would have to say pass. Why? Because I can do a full (non-girly push-up). Yeah that's right. I rock the push-up.

It's so hard not getting discouraged. I've lost about 5 lbs so far. I was able to tighten my belt one notch, but I look at myself in the mirror and don't see a significant change. It's frustrating. I didn't except to drop 30 lbs in a month, but I'd like to see SOME progress.
Still, I can't do a push up, so I guess you've got one up on me.
Jillian Michaels is insane. It would be fun to yell at her in real life, no? ;)
