Dear Friends,
I’m in pain.
A constant state of pain since Day One.
But only in my calves.
The other body parts which were hurting as I did the 30 Day Shred DVD this morning are no longer hurting.
Kinda worried about that since everyone else is complaining about pain where I am not hurting.
Am I doing this workout right?!?!?!
I still haven’t figured out how to keep my Princess Leia styled hair intact as I work out.
So around the time we are asked to “punch it out” one bun unravels and my hair is now on my shoulder annoying me.
It’s lovely actually. To be annoyed and not be able to stop.
But besides that I’m trudging along with Jillian Michaels.
Wondering why they bothered to put a water cooler and a set of lockers on the Exercise TV set.
I’m starring at Anita in disbelief that she had 3 kids and has those abs.
(Is there hope for me? A fellow mom of three? Probably not. She does other things besides the DVD I’m sure. I will NOT be. lol)
And I spend my workout time in between breathing wondering “how many tattoos does Jillian Michaels have?”
So Kristen asked for pictures to see how we are doing. Ha!
OK, I took a few pictures to make her happy show I can participate.
Used my iPhone to take the pictures. Which explains the “live from inside a cave” lighting.
Here are my old sneakers I’m wearing as I shred.
I’m showing a little sock in this one. Pretty sexy huh.

My grandmother thinks these sneakers look huge. She’s right. They are only size 9.5 Geez.
And this is the yoga mat where some of the magic pain happens.

Like the sky blue 3lb dumbbells? I do too. They’re cute.
That’s about all there is cute to see on Day 5.
I think I let out a tiny scream today. Followed by a groan and whimper (or seven).
Only 25 more days to go. Thinking I’ll switch to Level 2 on Wednesday.
