Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Challenge

I am a HUGE Jillian Michaels fan. I watch “The Biggest Loser” religiously and I love her ability to get to the root of problem concerning the eating habits and excessive weight of people. She never lets me down with her unconventional motivational speeches.

So, here we are at the middle of January looking back on the resolutions that many have made for 2010. This is the point where the newbies at the gym start to ween themselves out as to who will continue their journey and who will give up. Regardless of whether you made the goal to lose weight, tone up, or just get yourself moving more, the goal is to keep at it.

Starting today, I will embark on my adventure with Jillian Michaels and her 30 Day Shred program. I am not overweight or even heavy by any means, but I am still unhappy with the “last 10 lbs” that I never lost.. with either of my kids. Prior to the children, I was a student-athlete. I lived and breath school and working out. I then joined the Army.. and my fitness goals grew significantly. Along came the kids and my goals shifted from caring for myself to caring for my children. I have prided myself on teaching them healthy habits, but I have not necessarily been holding myself to the higher standard that I used to.

I will be blogging about the program and my experiences weekly and at the end, I will be giving away 2 copies of the DVD!

Day #1

Day #1 is finally here! I am eager to start and ready to finally commit to an at home routine. I decided to start the process with the Jillian Michaels Shred because I am a huge fan and I have heard such great things. I currently do not have any regular routine and pretty much rely on day-to-day activities to get my exercise. I am a healthy eater, but my vice is soda. I am currently cutting out all soda products!

My current weight is: 142 lbs

My goal weight is: 130 lbs

The first thing I did was head over to jillianmichaels.com and sign up for the free weight loss plan and newsletter. I also spent some time reading over success stories and bio information on Jillian. Of course I now follow her on Twitter (@jillianmichaels)! I also looked over all of the new products that she has. The woman really has her name on EVERYTHING!
