I'm going to post when I do my Zumba/30-Day Shred workouts here so that I can be more accountable for them and also so that I can keep track of them! I'll update this post as Week 1 goes on.

I did the 30-Day Shred with Lisa before watching our DVRd episode of Lost and the next Glee episode. We've decided we'll do this every Wednesday and also on other days that we get together and watch stuff. We decide that Jillian Michaels and the other women on her dvd don't understand why chubby people hate jumping jacks (hint: there's a lot more stuff that bounces around uncomfortably when you're chubby). Damn you, jumping jacks, for pointing out my problem areas so violently. Damn you.

As of now (11:45 a.m.), I haven't done anything. This may be one of my non-workout days, as I have to leave our house by 7:00 a.m. to get to the chiropractor's office and work on time. If I get motivated, I may do the 30-Day Shred tonight, but I'm not going to count on it yet. If I don't get anything in today, I'm still okay for the week. Note: I did NOT do any Shredding today.

Lisa and I made a plan to get together tonight to watch my newly-arrived New Kids on the Block video, Coming Home, that I got for my birthday. I know, we're reliving our 1990-era dreams, and we love it! We decided we'd do Jillian's Shred pre-NKOTB video, so I didn't get up and do the Shred in the morning. When the evening rolled around, I was really ready to just watch our NKOTB video and a Glee and call it a night, but Lisa arrived in her workout gear, so we did it! We were both really happy that we convinced ourselves to Shred!

Austin and I hit the Kid's Expo at the Interstate Center this morning, which was a lot of fun! On a whim, we decided we'd go down to Decatur to visit Mom for Valentine's Day. I took the dvd and my hand weights so that I could Shred at Mom's house and managed to get a pretty good workout in while Mom and Austin played. This week's stats so far: 3 workouts in 4 days, so I'm on target!
Side note: I looked online at the website where I got Mom's Wii a month ago for a GREAT DEAL and, at the beginning of this week, they still had some at the great price. Now there are no more, and Wiis seem to be hard to find! I hope in 3 1/2 weeks, the stocks have replenished!

Happy Valentine's Day! I did do my workout today, but I'm going to be honest here. I did 30+ minutes on Mom's Wii Fit instead of Shred. I still sweated, did some virtual bike riding and step aerobics, and I feel pretty good about my exercising today!

Zumba, baby! Whew! Tonight's Zumba class kicked my butt, and I taught it, so I guess I kicked my OWN butt! It was a very sweaty hour of high intensity Zumba. That burned some serious calories, I just know it!
Tuesday, 2/16/10
I did Shred today while watching TV at night. I have to say, I kind of was half-assing it, though, so I'm not happy with the workout, but I am happy that I got up off of the couch and did something, anyway!
Overall, Week 1 was a success. I didn't get the intensity that I wanted each day, and I did substitute Wii Fit for the Shred on Sunday, but I'm happy with my increased workout regimen this week. To go from one day a week of activity to six days of activity is a big accomplishment for me. On to Week 2!
