Day 3 – 30 Day Shred

After watching last night’s Biggest Loser and completing today’s workout.  I started thinking – if I have this much trouble with 40 minutes of exercise, how do those 400 lb. people handle 6 hours of Jillian!?

Bob mentioned on last nights show that you should eat before your workout. I asked around and my friend tells me that if it is 15 minutes or so before I should try saltines or Gatorade for some quick carbs.  Apparently fats and proteins are a no no before you workout.

Day 2- 30 Day Shred

Today Jillian’s workout was just as hard as yesterday, if not more difficult.

I am working out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.  (Note to self: Do more research to see if you should work out before or after you eat.)

I also did 10 minutes on the gazelle, drank a lot more water afterward and can feel the muscles in my upper arms burning from the inside. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just a constant reminder that my body is changing from the inside out.

I want to finish up the day with 20 more minutes on the gazelle.

But for some reason, this year we have some left over.
In a world of popular [...]

Knee High on the Fourth of July

It’s that time of year – cookouts, the crowds of red, white & boom, 100 degree temps, camping, sunburn, farmer’s markets, summer boredom (kids), reminiscing (adults)…
This is a summer worth remembering.
Just light it up…
