Day One

I have been contemplating starting a blog for some time now. I've been wanting to get in shape for some time now. Especially, like everyone else, after the holidays. This year seems to have been particularly bad. A lot of eating. A lot of drinking. Maybe it's just getting harder as I get older, but my body can't handle it like I used to. And so this little blogging exercise challenge is born.

First off, let me tell you, I am not a believer. I do not believe that if I can complete Jillian Michaels ("TV's toughest trainer" from the Biggest Loser (of which I've never seen a full episode) 30 day work-out plan I will attain the best body of my life. Lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days. Achieve a lean, shredded body. But I so badly want it to be true. So, just for tricks, I'm going to try it. I'm going to commit. Some of my days are fairly packed but if I need to do start this work out at 11pm some nights, I'm there. If I need to get up at 6:30am to fit it in, so be it. Really, actually commit. And I'm going to see what the next 30 days brings.

My sister has challenged me to try the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. She is on day 10 and says she feels great--and stronger. I will be so very impressed if this works.

Twenty minutes a day--I can handle that. 30 days--not so bad. This sounds easy. Which is why I'm so skeptical. And why I really want to try it. So the title of my first ever blog is a little bit of a lie. I'm not dreading this 30 day shred. I'm excited!

And, to really commit myself, I'm going to be held accountable. Which is why I'm blogging this experiment and sharing it with all of you.

Bring it on, Jillian!
