I like to move it, move it

Wow it's been an action packed weekend. I haven't had time to post much since it was GORGEOUS outside and I had to soak up every bit of sunshine I could. Good thing too, it's raining again today... and tomorrow. Yuck!

Saturday I got my roommate to do 30 Day Shred with me. She was sore and tired yesterday but I think she liked it enough to stick with it. At least that's what I get from her Facebook post.

I worked out tonight with my roommate and now I feel like crap. And now I'm asking myself, "Why did I do this?" Oh that's right, to see how much I could hurt afterwards. And I think that I'm crazy enough to do it again next week.

Luckily there were no death threats in there. She knows where I sleep so I'd have to keep an eye on her if that was the case. But she definitely agrees with my title of "Satan Jillian".

Saturday I also went hiking/trail running as well as took Charlie to the dog park. Mother's Day was not quite as active since I had church in the morning. But we still were able to catch a couple of hours at the dog park again and walk along the trails.

Hakuna matata!

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

So Satan Jillian is not quite as evil these days. Finally started Day 1 of 30 Day Shred last night and I'm still alive. I'm not saying it wasn't hard, but I don't feel like I belong 6 feet under.

I definitely think it helps that my cardio is in a much better place than it was the last time I did this video. I wasn't doing any other cardio at the time and so I got exhausted pretty quickly.

It also probably helps that I'm not doing it at 5:00 in the morning. Oh how I despise those early morning workouts. I may have to start doing them on some days though. Just have too much to do sometimes.

Hakuna matata!

Satan Jillian is BACK!

So I just ordered Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred from Amazon and I'm trying to figure out why I want to put myself through this again. My former roommate owned it and we did it for a short time when we lived together.

We nicknamed her "Satan Jillian" because we felt like we were going to die at the end of each workout. It was a hard video (especially at 5 a.m.) but I saw improvement in my strength even in the short time that we did it.

I know my cardio is better now then it was at the time so I'm hoping I will be able to get through it at least a little bit easier. Doubtful. This is JM after all. Thankfully I will not be doing this video at 5 a.m. again!

Hakuna matata!
