So why am I sharing all of this with you, you ask? Those of you who read my last Christmas letter know that I tend to lack the really serious motivation to get back into shape. (Remember how I would actually wear my workout clothes to bed so that was one less thing I could talk myself out of in the mornings?) Jillian has promised to get me into shape in 20 minutes a day for 30 days. So I can do this in the secrecy of my own basement and if I fail only I know I'm a failure. But, if I can put myself out there to the blogging world and I fail, well I probably haven't failed you because quite honestly you all have better things to concern yourselves with than whether I lose a few pounds or not, but I know I will have failed in front of a bunch of people. I hate that feeling. And I don't want to fail. My sister is getting married at the end of the summer and I don't want to look like the frumpy mother of two who is pushing 34. So, whether you like it or not you are all my motivation! So please check back to see how I'm doing as I will provide updates throughout the month and we'll see what happens....
To start, we better get a hold of where I stand right now:
Day: 1
Chest: 37"
Waist: 32"
Hips: 43"
Weight: 157.6 (ugh-- let me point out that the heaviest I've ever been is 170 lbs, and that's with the assistance of an 8 lb baby and non existent ankles). Jillian claims you can lose up to 20 lbs, but I think that's if you don't eat for 30 days. Anyway, here I am in all my glory.... (thank you Steve for taking the pictures and thank you Kim for letting me use your scale)
And thank you to all of you :) See you in about a week and a half....

Nice Ass!!! :)
OK, that seems really funny to me right now as I sit here reading your blog at 10:40pm and what I should really be doing is sleeping.
Now, the other funny thing, I just bought Jillian's 30 Day Shred too. I heard it is amazing, but VERY intense. I don't think I will be doing any blogs posting my weight though!!!
Oh, and one more thing....NICE ASS!!! (still funny on my end)
Thanks Tracy :)
That is so funny that you bought her DVD too! We'll have to share experiences. I did the first workout last night, Level 1 of 3, THINKING it wouldn't be too bad.... :)
You can do it!!! I give you props already for taking it to the internet!! Brave Brave girl! If you can do that it's proof you will succeed!
Let us know how Jillian's DVD is. I too have posted about my weight loss but it's on a seperate blog and I don't update it as often as I should. Maybe I should just put it on the family blog, maybe then I would try harder. Good for you! Good Luck!
