I Take On Jillian Michaels

I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

One of my favorite shows came on last night - The Biggest Loser.  I have even gotten my metabolically supercharged husband into it.  We watched the season opener last night and I cried a couple times.  Everyone has a story.  It's sad to think that some of these people really do want to change and get help but instead they are ridiculed to embarrassment to seek it. Cheers for those who want to and are changing their lives!

I love this show because it is such an inspiration.  It's amazing to watch seemingly hopeless people bust down their own walls and go farther than they (or anyone else) ever thought possible.  That motivation absolutely carries over to me.  Moms and dads and sons and daughters were on this show together bearing their souls (and their bellies) for all to see.  That is the first step to changing.

Jillian Michaels is a trainer on the show.  She is tough.  She is crazy.  She is relentless.  She is scary.  She is hard as nails.  But she gets results and she is sincere.  I recently purchased her video:  30 Day Shred.

Today is day 1.  I will take my photo today (and again, will NOT share it before I have the "After" photo).  My commitment starts today and I will do this everyday for 30 days.  I have taken my measurements and we'll see where I'm at in 30 days.  I usually work out in the morning, but just was able to play the DVD this afternoon SO - here I go.

I highly encourage anyone following my journey to get this video.  I got it off ebay for around $8 including shipping.  Time to get moving....  Jillian - it's on!!!!
