While at home, I had the opportunity to have my butt kicked by my sister and her fellow cardio class members, and decided I wanted to experience the day after "oh my gosh I can't move" feeling more often. So I signed up for a few Zumba classes and bought Jillian Michael's DVD Shredded in 30 days. First of all, I've never heard the term shredded for being fit or toned, when did this word show up? And secondly, she has another DVD called Ripped in 30 days...Ok, so what's the difference? Do I want to be shredded or ripped? Oh the decisions! Day 1 wasn't too bad, but every day since has been a struggle. There are many times when I yell at the TV how much I hate this workout and then Jillian yells right back at me "If you want results, you CAN'T QUIT!" Ugh, fine. You win. So I turn up Beyonce's "Single Ladies" as my motivation and keep truckin along.
I haven't been this sore in a lonnnnng time. I love the Biggest Loser and seeing the transformation that occurs over five months. I may not be overweight, but I've got enough cellulite and jiggle and quite a few weddings this summer that I need to look good for =) I'm sure Erin is sick of me talking about how shredded I hope to be some day, but knowing me, this phase won't last for long!

I would love to be a fly on the wall and watch you "get shredded"! I have no will-power so I do admire your willingness to pick a project and then stick with it!
Love you just the way you are......

So great! I want to see what shredded looks like. It does sound painful. And why do I eat so much more in the summer? Something about fresh fruit ending up in sugary desserts and of course Dairy Queen, buh.
So how is the shredding experiment going? Sticking to it? Dad and I walked up 302 stairs on the back side of a sand dune in Saugatuck last weekend. My legs felt like jelly afterward and my calves hurt for almost a week!
