I'm Coming For You Jillian!

Yes..It's on like Donkey Kong, Ms. Michaels!! Tonight after work I will be taking my lil' chunky butt to Wal-Mart to pick up Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I head out for my family reunion in 39 days and I refuse to be the fat sister/daughter. Now God and I know that I will never be as thin as my sister (she's one of the naturally thin people with a freakishly fast metabolism...bitch!) but I will not go there being the chunky monkey (hellz to the no!!!) I saw that they have videos on YouTube and considered just watching it on there instead of using my money to buy it but then two things came to mind...
  1. My computer is set up in my dining room and I risk serious injury if I collapse of exhaustion and smash my face of the sharp corner of my table.
  2. Dining Room = Communal area, which in turn = Big Man, his mom, and his sisters watching me humiliate myself and attempt to do what I pathetically think is a push up.. :(

I know that many of you ladies have already started the Shred and from what I heard this is how I will be feeling afterwards:

So be a good bloggy friend and give me some pointers! : )

Is there anything I should know about?

Do I need to get one of those emergency necklaces that old people have?

Help me out ladies!

**Oh and don't worry, I will be updating you ladies with my progress and might even grace you with the presence of a vlog if I can still breathe**

It was really after the second or third day that I felt the worst. I honestly felt like I could NEVER do Jillian again because of how sore I felt. If you feel like that, don't give up - you can do it!!


Once you get past the soreness of the first few days it is SO MUCH better...I really was amazed at how much energy just doing the shred for 20 minutes gave me. Good luck and I can't wait to hear how you like it!

I haven't tried it yet, but I can't wait to hear about it! It seems like everyone is doing this.

Katie said...

I haven't tried it either, it sounds like a kick ass workout though, so make sure you drink lots of water today so you are all hydrated haha

I SO need that too!! I'm a little afraid of starting it, although I am moderately working out anyway. Blah. Anyways, let me know how it works out for you! I think I might push out my "I need to get that" mode for a couple more weeks as I work up the courage! :)

I haven't tried it, but really want to! I keep thinking about buying it, but my Walmart doesn't seem to have it. I guess I could order it online. Let me know what you think and how it makes you feel. I have a gym membership, but sometimes I'm just to lazy to drive all the way there. Sad I know.

P.S. I tagged you in a meme. I know you have to be excited :)

Christina said...

Good luck! I plan on giving it a try myself in a couple weeks. I can't wait to hear your review and progress.

I haven't done the shred but I'm doing "Making the Cut" and its true- if you can get past the initial soreness, your golden. I just told myself over and over, "you can do anything for 30 minutes- its only 30 minutes" that seems to help- I recommend the BL Boot Camp DVD as well- only $10 and kicks your butt!!!

I wish we lived closer together because I'd totally come do that video with you! Even though I LOVE Bob, and I only sort of like Jillian. I actually sort of don't like her at all. Hee. But she is a badass and I hope it works!!

I haven't been able to get through a full 30 days of it. It is Tough, but really good! I need to start it back up actually. You are suppose to do it every single day, but I think if I tried for 3 or 4 days a week I might last longer!

Katie said...

hahaha I know! Whenever I got to Victoria's Secret I can't help it, I always get the 5 for $25 on the PINK panties... it's an addiction!!

Learning As I Go said...

Good for you! Let me know if you need a partner. I could do it with you. I always look like an ass doing those videos so at least you wouldn't be alone. Thanks for being here for me darling. I will always be here for you too. Let me know if you want me to drag your ass to the gym with me.

The New Mrs said...

my advice to be to just hang in and stay focused on the overall goal!

Unknown said...

i go to the gym 5 days a week and I still really want to do this!! have fun with it!

Allison M. said...

you are the second person I know who is doing the shred. You better believe I want to follow your progress.

Emily said...

i tried it a year ago and made it to day 3. haha so pathetic.

hopefully you can do better than i did.
