Day One

In a moment of weakness two days ago, I bought two Jillian Michaels work out DVDs.

In my defense, they were on sale for $5.99.

I was mentally preparing myself to embark upon, what she so quaintly calls the 30 DAY SHRED, when the damn things showed up yesterday! I really thought I was going to have at least the weekend to detox (2 week visit with mum = lots of wine) before starting...

But I figured this insane promptness on the part of Canada Post was a sign.

So I started this morning.

My early observations:

I was glad to find that she didn't yell at me. She seems to yell at people a lot on The Biggest Loser, and I wasn't convinced I would leap out of bed at 6:00 am just for the opportunity to have her yell at me.

I completed the work out less than 2 hours ago, and I'm already climbing the stairs like I'm 90 years old.

I totally felt like I was going to honk when it was done. Again: leaping out of bed every day for the opportunity to feel nauseous? We'll see ...
