Today I am grateful for Jillian Michaels
I have to admit, a part of me hates Jillian Michaels. Most of you know her; the trainer from "The Biggest Loser." I bought her workout The 30 Day Shred about 18 months ago. I've done it twice. By twice I mean the day one workout two times. Never a day two. Ever.
I decided with the new year, I would do The Shred, and actually complete it. Not a major commitment, just thirty days to kickoff a year of healthful living.
The first day of The Shred I cursed Jillian. Names were called, curse words were yelled, and I looked into her face during the "punches" portion of the workout. But something exciting happened: the next day, I did DAY TWO!!!!
Something about the desire I had to conquer Jillian's workout, coupled with the support of friends who are also "shredding," has really motivated me to continue!
So, thanks, Jillian! Thanks for getting this new mom off of her hiney for a quick, high impact, EFFECTIVE workout. I wouldn't do it if I didn't think it was worth it!
One more quick (but super important!) thanks goes to God! He gave me this body-- I haven't always been good to it, but I appreciate that he keeps me healthy and gives me the ability to exercise! I'm so blessed by him each day :)
