Snow shred

No where on the back of the Jillian Michael's DVD does it tell me if I've had a 45-minute walk home in a snow storm while carry 6 pounds of weights in my handbag after waiting 30 minutes in the cold for a bus that never came that I am excused from my shred.

I thought about it... But I know a 45-minute hike in the slush is not the same thing as 20 minutes of non-stop cardio combined with weights...weight a minute, that's exactly what my walk home was, but 25 minutes longer!! The reason I had two 3 lb weights in my handbag is because yesterday, when I started the workout regime, I didn't actually have weights. I used glass canisters filled with pasta which by the way are each way heavier than a 3 lb weight so I borrowed a set (thanks Mom!) which I got a hold of today by asking my dad to bring them when he met me for lunch.

Add them to a bag already holding two magazines, a book, a pair of slippers, my five pound wallet, two pound set of keys and ten thousand other things... and it's heavy! I alternated shoulders and carrying it by the hands the whole way home.

But I was a good girl and the first thing I did when I got home was shred. Let's just call the journey home the ultimate warm-up. Like I said, I'm committing to this so regardless of what else happens in a day, I must shred, if I want to really know what will happen in 30 days.

The weight circuit wasn't as tough (but still tough) with the proper weights. And again, the whole thing was done before I knew it (in hindsight. In the moment, I thought I was going to die. Several times).

I just don't think I can make it up the stairs. I could swear I had chicken salsa & rice for dinner, but I feel like I'm filled with lead...
