My Life in Color: Shredding the pounds away

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.
