Feeling The Burn

I'm three days into my 30 Day Shred.

Only 27 days to go.

How am I feeling?  I'll tell you.

This workout is hardcore! Jillian Michaels is scary and militant, and she pushes and pushes until I find myself panting and saying "I f*cking hate you!" as I hear her complain about not being flexible or wishing she had abs like her friend. 

In fact, this is pretty much what is going through my head, 30 minutes of: "Ok, I can do this... Feeling good... Ouch!  You can do it! Grunt, ugh, push push push, fight, punch, jumping jacks... Ow ow ow! I hate my life... Shut up fatty, you'll love it when you're hot. I hate you Jillian.  Don't call her buddy, she doesn't look like she likes you. YOU aren't flexible?  YOU'd kill for those abs?  What is wrong with you woman?  Ok, just five more minutes... five more minutes... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"    LOL!

All week I've been sore.  My arms, my boobs even, my abs, and especially my legs and knees.  I'm not getting as winded during the backups, but sometimes the strength stuff (those damn pushups) I feel my muscles shaking a little because they're tired.  Today my muscles hurt less, they feel like they're healing and I feel stronger.  I can't wait until day 30 when I can weigh in and see all the progress I made!
