Shredding the pounds away

Today is day 10 of the 30 Day Shred which means its time to move up to level 2. It was not as bad as I thought it would be but I still felt like I had been kicked by a mule. Those static lunges are a bitch and it may just be me but Jillian seems to have gone from nice, motivating instructor to bitch in just a short time. I was going to take measurements today but I am going to take them on Friday instead. Along with the Shred I am also upping my water intake and watching what I eat. The water is a tough one for me. I live for Mt Dew and if Mt Dew is not available then any caffeinated sugary drink will do. I am now drinking 2.5-3 liters of water a day.  I don't have access to a scale at home but am going to walk to my sister in laws tonight and jump on hers so I can see where I am at.

Day 8 of the 30 Day Shred

Well, I think the worst of it is over. I still get out of breath but instead of being out of breath on the first set of jumping jacks I don't start huffing and puffing till about halfway through. I have not yet noticed a difference in how my clothes fit and am sure I have not lost any weight but I keep thinking to myself it's only been 8 days. On Wednesday I will move up to Level 2 and I am excited for something new but also scared about how much harder it will be compared to Level 1.

#5. Complete the 30 Day Shred

Day 1--I will admit it. Jillian kicked my ass this morning. 3 hours later my legs are still a bit wobbly and my arms are funky feeling. How am I supposed to get to Level 2 by day 10? According to her you should take your measurments the first day to track your progress. I also plan on taking a few pictures tommorow. I do not have an actual cloth measuring tape so I improvised with a ruler and ribbon. I hope I did it right. 

Bust--39.5 inches
Waist--41 inches
Neck--15 inches
Right Thigh--25 inches
Left Thigh--25 inches
Right Arm--16 inches
Left Arm--15 inches

January in review

Ok, so I was hoping to do a review of January on the first of February but my computer has been having some issues and blogging from my phone is a huge PITA. So here is the review now. 

#2-Get back to a size 7. This is still of course in progress. I saw no results in January but I had a lot going on and it slid to the back burner. Hoping to see some awesome results in February though.

#8-Wash my face every night. This is something that in the past I have been awful with. So far so good though. 
#19-Save money for Christmas 2011. As of last week I have 25.00 saved. 

#20-Save all my change for  one year. This one is super tough. I keep on wanting to spend my change. I set up some jars though and so far none of it has been spent. 

#51-Transfer negatives pictures onto a photo cd. I started this one yesterday and apparently its not as easy as I thought it would be. I took in 20 "rolls" to Walgreens and still have 60-70 left.
