30 Day Shred= Done!

On July 27th I committed to doing the 30 Day Shred. I had done a single day of the shred a few times, but never really gave it my all. It was hard, I sweated like a pig, I grunted and groaned, and threatened to kill Jillian Michaels. I modified what I couldn't do, then slowly started the unmodified versions of each exercise I struggled with, until I was successful. I originally wanted to do 30 days in a row, no breaks. However, I had to skip one day because of an illness, and then 2 in a row later because of missing the opportunity to use the computer/tv (I use youtube), and football was on those nights! So, it took a few more days than 30, but today was my last day! I did it! 30 days. And who would've thought..... I kinda enjoyed it. I lost about 3 pounds (which is great because I'm nearing maintenance); and several inches (not sure exactly how many because the last time I had measured was way back in February). I can tell a difference in my thighs, my waist, my arms. I feel stronger, have better endurance, and refuse to let my head tell my body that it needs to stop, when clearly I can do more. On September 1st, I will be starting Ripped in 30. I know I'll hate it, dread it, wanna quit.... but I won't. Just wanted to share!
