Last weekend, I (apparently) decided enough was enough and that I had to do something about my body. My body image & self esteem sucks carrots and I'm fed up with feeling like I need to hide behind Spanx-style tank tops with lots of tugging up & down and tucking in & out just to feel like I'm looking decent.
So, I decided that I'd do 7 workouts in 7 days. And know what? I did it! Today is day 7 and here is what I filled my week with in terms of exercise:
Sunday/Thursday/Friday: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 1
Monday/Wednesday: 5.3km & 5.6km run respectively
Tuesday: In-home personal training session (ouch!)
Saturday: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2
Now what? 15 in 15. Gotta keep it going and right now, I don't want to stop because I'm loving the muscle hurt and the determination I feel. The Shred videos take 25 minutes tops so there is no reason why I can't work those into my day. I want to push myself for some further runs and ideally, I should be out there 3 days a week.
Stay tuned for an update on Sunday, February 24th for the 15th update!
About Me
- Jenn
- I live in Toronto with my husband and our 4 year old son. I'm (successfully, I think) navigating that whole work & home thing. I obsess about food and am constantly thinking of the next meal. I obsess about what I just ate but have no willpower to stop myself from repeating the same food choice mistakes over & over. I love Golden Retrievers & raccoons. I live for green tea & decaf soy lattes and should have a bumper sticker on my car that says "I brake for cookies." I watch far too much TV and don't read as much as I'd like anymore. I live for Fine Cooking magazine but love a good dose of UsWeekly. I wish I kept a cleaner house but find that real life gets in the way. I would love to have less "stuff" and am working on being more organized. I am driven by the urge to purge. I love my family, my friends, my life & my career. I just need to figure out how to be amazing at all of these things without any compromising.
