The Dread

Day One - Take Four!

That's how many times I've done Day One of Level One of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred.   This here blog will be an experiment in perseverance.  

My husband has been working out and at age 39 he is in the best shape I've ever seen him.  He'll be 40 this summer and, though it's not on his wish list, I want to give him what he's giving me.  A new body to look at!  We've been married 12 years and I think our best years are ahead of us.  But in order to have more years I need to take better care of myself. 

That means starting with losing about 15 pounds.   It doesn't sound like much to some people but it feels like a lot to me.  I'll save the psychology of this journey I'm about to take for later posts. Today I'm just gonna say:

Day One - Not too shabby. 

We'll see how I feel in the morning.

  1. Good Luck on your new adventure. My husband and I have been working out and loosing weight since the beginning of the year. I have to say that the first month sucks and I was rather grumpy, but it does get better. Hang in there and you'll feel great.

  2. Thanks, Nikki! I'm going to need a lot of encouragement along the way.
