So a couple weeks ago, when I was in a very special – magical – place, I heard these two

Andrea from MommySnacks and Maria from BSM Media
talking about how they got their crazy-hot bods.
They kept talking about something called “The Shred
.” I feign ignorance, but of course I had heard of it – Andrea had been tweeting about it for weeks! So I stuffed my face with chocolate and fruity drinks listened intently and made a mental note to google “The Shred” when I got back to Ohio.
Long story short, but happy Mother’s Day to me, I get an exercise DVD! I would have rather had a blender.
Just kidding! I picked it up off the shelf at Best Buy the night before MD, and told Andy to buy it for me. (A girl has to make sure she gets a MD gift, right? Just kidding! Ok I’m not kidding on that one).
ANYWAY… the DVD has made a lovely coaster since then, but tonight I finally broke it out. And it felt GOOD.
It’s 20 minutes… a very hardcore 20 minutes, but still – 20 minutes. I found time to do it today, despite having worked all day, attended my first grad class of the summer, missing a t-ball game, cooking defrosting dinner (thank you Once a Month Mom!), and getting the kids off to bed. It was 20 minutes, and I knew I could fit it in.
I did, and it felt fantastic. This is the workout made for me.
A bold statement, I know. And let’s hope that tonight was not a fluke, and that I can make it through the next 29 days of the 30 day Shred. I really liked the way Jillian motivates, and I’m going to keep at it.
Did you hear that, everybody?
We’ll talk in 30 days.
