Shredheads Day 2 -- Just Keep Doing Those Jumping Jacks

So, as I mentioned in a prior post, I have been doing Jillian Michael's 30-day shred since my 35th birthday - January 15th. However, after my trip to Houston last week, and the cold that I had before, during, and after, I kind of fell out of it. So, when Kristen Chase started up the #shredheads, I was in!

Today, I jumped to level three, a level I'd done before, but never easily. And, it wasn't easy today either. I had full intentions to also do Turbo Jam Abs, but those intentions quickly slipped away.

To be truthful, I do sometimes follow Anita (aka the beginner) but occasionally I can also do the harder moves. And, I stop. A Lot. To rest, to get water, to take a breath. Jillian tells you not to stop, but otherwise I'll keel over and pass out. So, I rest.

Level two tomorrow...

Shredding My Fake Pregnancy Away

Well, as most of you know, since I couldn't stop talking, tweeting, and writing about it -- last week, a blind clueless well-meaning gymnastics teacher from my kids' gym asked me if I am pregnant. As is, my stomach is so big, it looks like another life form is being incubated in there. Great.

So, I'm joining the #shredheads in an effort to tone up and eliminate any potential confusion. While I love the idea of getting a seat on the crowded T, I'd prefer to be shredded.

Here's my deets:

Code Name: So Not Pregnant

Tag line: Eliminating the pregnancy ambiguity one shred at a time

Diet Plan: Only eat until I'm full, SlimFast at lunch

Rules: None really

Before pictures: No freaking way

Shred plan: Mix it up, primarily levels 2 & 3, combine with Turbo Jam abs a few days a week
