My current workout routine.

I did not want to get up early today to face Jillian Michaels today. I then remembered that massive cheese burger and french fries I ate for lunch yesterday so I forced myself out of bed with a little whimper. Once I get going I wake right up but the last thing on my mind when I first wake up in the morning is working out. It's been an adjustment waking up early to work out but I do like getting it over with first thing.

I thought I'd share what my routine has been since I'm not following the 30 Day Shred program exactly. You're suppose to do the 30 Day Shred every day. My body is not having that. You need a day off here and there for your muscles to recover. I try to do the Shred or Ripped in 30 every other day. I also don't follow the levels in the exact order. One day I'll do level 3 and the next work out I'll do level 1. I like to mix it up so I don't get bored. You'll also notice that I'm doing both the 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30. They are similar in style, and both by Jillian Michaels, but the workouts are different enough that I think it's worth having both. I find Ripped in 30 a bit harder. I've been doing this since the end of December and I'm not bored yet. Once the weather is warmer I'll add some more walking/running outside. I've noticed the most difference in my arms. I'm still having trouble with regular push ups. Something I need to work on.

The River premieres tonight. I'm pretty excited about this show. I like scary with mystery not so much blood and gore. I'm probably going to have a hard time going to sleep after watching this show. Why do I do this to myself? I love being scared. Until it's time for bed...

Off to work with my low sugar oatmeal for breakfast. Very exciting stuff

I hate Jillian Michaels and squat thrusts.

I've been waking up early and facing Jillian Michaels four days a week. She wants us to be together 5-6 days a week but I just can't handle that yet. You see I need to still be able to lift my arms up for my job.

Jillian will try to trick you and make you feel like a lazy asshole because "400 pound people can do this". That doesn't make doing anything in plank pose any easier. Squat thrusts from a plank pose? I'm gonna squat thrust you in the mouth.

It's been a week since I lost my self esteem. I feel much stronger in my arms. You're all getting tickets to the gun show pretty soon. Then I'm gonna wrestle Jillian Michaels and an alligator at the same time.

Bang! Bang!

Ok so I don't really hate Jillian. Getting in shape isn't suppose to be easy. I just get cranky when I'm sore.

Killah bee

I woke up early today and did the 30 Day Shred.  After some shredding I went back to bed for a half hour.  I'm trying to get use to this waking up early thing and I'm not doing so well.

I have purchased my Halloween costume.  This is why I've decided to start the 30 Day Shred again.  I don't want to look like a bee who's suckled one too many flowers.  There was one non-slutty bee option but it looked like a yellow and black trash bag.  Slutty bee it is!  Other items purchased for my costume:  two knives (one that goes on the thigh) and fake blood.  I'm not just a slutty bee but a slutty killer bee, or killah bee as we would say here in Boston.

I love Halloween.  I would be very sad if I lived in a country that didn't celebrate.

Sometimes I wonder what the very last song I ever hear will be.  Then I start to worry about that last song being something by Creed.  I can't even think about that.
