30-Day Forecast
Sweaty with a chance of disgruntlement
You’d better pack your umbrellas Noobs… it’s gonna be pourin. Sweat that is.
I just ordered the “30-Day Shred” workout DVD by the trainer, Jillian Michaels, of The Biggest Loser. Personally, I’ve never seen the show. But after 20 minutes of my first workout, I can say (Girl Scout’s honor) that Jillian Michaels doesn’t mess around.
It was the first workout video I’ve done where there are zero breaks, and JM not-so-subtly implies:
YOU ARE A TOTAL WUSS IF YOU STOP TO BLINK, BREATH, DRINK, FART, or SWALLOW.
Of course, I considered them all… but decided I’d rather have a little cottonmouth than wuss out disappoint my new virtual trainer.
Technically, my DVD arrives in the mail tomorrow. However, I discovered (a little too late and to my dismay) that they had levels 1 & 2 (out of 3) on my TV’s Video-On-Demand. Well, when I have my very own copy in hand, I will be sure to post more deets about the program for you curious folk.
Anyway, besides vigorously counting calories like the good student that I am, I am now attempting to incorporate this workout regimen into my next 30 days (of Hades). I could use all the moral support I can get.
Now, if only I could get my hands on one of these:
I saw this GoWear fit on Amazon and it seems pretty slick. Not only does it calculate the number of calories you burn during the day, but it tracks your steps and sleep patterns. I’d love to hear if anyone has tried one of these before.
Oh yeah, and just a side note: Noob Baby and Wildebeest the Cat DO NOT permit exercise in the house. Any noticeable sign of said physical activity immediately results in:
1) Toddler-velcroed-to-mom’s-leg-like-a-crazy-crack-koala
2) Kitty ensnares fangs in *threatening* ponytail while Owner of Ponytail (<--ooh ooh ME!) attempts to finish ab crunches with cat attached to cranium.
Ahhh … September 4th cannot come soon enough.
