Day One of 30 Day Shread: Kill Me Now.

Day One of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shread complete.

I'm still alive, but barely.

Many things went through my head while I was doing this 20 minute workout:

"This isn't so bad."

(15 seconds later...) "OK, I was wrong."

"My muscles! They... hurt! They.... ache!"

"MOMMY!"

"Jillian, you're a devil woman."

"How long will it take for Ryan to discover my body?"

It didn't help that we have a loose floor board so every time I did a jumping jack I was fearful of crashing into the basement below. Nothing like hearing "creak, boom, creak, boom" when jumping up and down. Oh yeah, I also had to take down the pictures and breakables from the top of the entertainment center because they were shaking. Let me tell you, that made me feel SUPER AWESOME.

At least Joe was entertained for awhile watching me jump around and pant like a fool. Well.. about 10 minutes into it he had a look on his face that said, "Mommy, why is the mean man-lady hurting you?"

My legs and arms feel like jell-0. Tomorrow will probably be pure torture. Thank goodness I took a picture of my belly to remind me what I'm trying to accomplish, otherwise I would probably throw in the towel.

I'll keep you updated on this new, budding relationship between me and Miss Michaels.

Oh yeah, is there a patron saint of exercise? Or maybe I should pray to St. Michael the Archangel since Jillian is certain to be in league with the devil! :-) I mean seriously, look at her!
