Day 1: The Shred

I wanted to chronicle my 30 day shred without cluttering up my normal blog. I've heard people talk about the shred before, just today Beth over at A Mom's Life posted about starting the shred. I trust her judgment, as well as the other wonderful bloggers out there who have tried this. I just happened to be feeling the need to get active and get in shape. So I went online and ordered the DVD from Best Buy and picked it up after work. (it was only a couple dollars more than ordering it from Amazon and having to wait to start)

I did my first workout, and boy, was it tough! But I made it through, and I already feel better. Half the battle is just getting active. I'm planning to start getting up a little early in the mornings before work to do my 20 minute shred. That way I don't get to the end of the day and find reasons not to do it. It's a little close doing the first one tonight and doing another bright and early in the morning, but that's the only way I'm going to get it done tomorrow. What a kill to my momentum that would be if I started today and didn't do it tomorrow!

I'll have more details about The Shred as we go. For now I'm going to hop in the shower and grab some dinner. (healthy dinner) More about The Shred and my goals tomorrow.
