All my adult life I have tried to make it through an exercise video time and time again I ended up 2 minutes in giving up as I didn't have stamina or endurance much less the strength. Mind you, I go to the gym 5 days a week and do 3x week cardio and 2x week strength, and have a pretty active lifestyle. Had a crappy workout with my trainer and working on a calorie burn goal for the week, have a pulled ab muscle and stayed home with a sick daughter. I decided to pull out the 30day shred and try it once again (been about 2 years and last time made it a whopping 3 minutes in). I put my shoes on, peed (yes ladies you know why we have to do that) and turned on the dvd. The warm up was kickin my butt but said, yes I can finally do this. I made it through circuit one, yes! Ok on to circuit two, took a couple 5 second breathers - Jillian said I could, and finally saw circuit 3. I completed my first workout video ever!!! Thanks MFP and friends for all your motivation and support. You have no idea the milestone that I crossed over today.

    Haha, JUST before I read your post I was contemplating doing No More Trouble Zones and thinking "I'd better go pee." Thank you for the chuckle, and congrats on making it through! Nicely done.
