    Level 2, day 18/30 DONE!

    It's been more than a week, but I'm back!

    I had SUCH a good time last weekend visiting with family and celebrating my husband's graduation -- but it's past time to get back to my healthy routine! We still have a house guest, but I realized I could play the shred on my laptop in the bedroom and get my workout in without kicking anyone out of the living room.

    Now I just need to get my eating under control. It's weird -- I've been eating terribly, and it's not even enjoyable. Not only do I not _really_ crave bad food, it doesn't taste good, and no matter how much I stuff myself I'm completely unsatisfied and find myself wanting to eat and eat and eat to try and find that satisfaction. I think it's because even though I'm getting in CALORIES I'm starving my body of REAL nutrition. A rice cake with some peanut butter and a small mixed fruit salad is more satisfying on the whole than half a box of pizza. I can't believe I used to eat this crap ALL THE TIME before. What I really find myself craving is the healthy foods I've BEEN eating for the last 5 months -- not the refined, sugar and salt loaded, greasy, fatty FAKE food I've sadly let myself consume the past week. What an eye opener!

    Time for a shower and a protein shake!!

    No shred today. Battling menstrual cramps and juggling family obligations.

    Tomorrow I'm going to start level 3 and finish up days 20-30 at that level.

    Level 2 15/30 - Done

    Haven't posted in a while and haven't been as diligent as I would like but I am not giving up. Hopefully Jillian can help me take off a pound or two before I weigh in this week so I don't have to post a gain. :)

    Level 3, day 20/30 DONE!

    I didn't burn as many calories as I would have liked with the Shred today, so I added 40 minutes jogging to Leslie Sansone's 5 Mile Walk DVD. :wink:

    If I stay consistent with my workouts I should be done with this round of the shred at the end of next week. Following that, I plan to do a week of Blast Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones (probable alternate each day). I'm having my wisdom teeth removed on June 4, and expect it'll take about a week to recover fully (fully enough to exercise anyway).

    Once I've recovered from the surgery, I plan to start a round of Jillian's 30 Day Slimdown. Anyone interested? Start date will probably be June 14th.

    Level 2 18/30 - Done
    280 cals

    Had to drop the weight on the last set of shoulder raises cause something is going on with my left shoulder. Hope it was just a cramp or something cause Jillian likes to work those shoulders.:wink:
