Day 7 of the 30 Day Shred

Day 7. Seems like so little, but the way I feel it sure is nothing little. To begin with today sucked anyway, so working out was not what I wanted to do at all. I woke up with my back/shoulder area hurting. I assume from push ups and the other exercises in the shred. I then had to shovel snow for a couple hours so I can get in and out of my driveway - until the next snowfall anyway. So, I feel like crap to start out.

Jillian says by day 7 I should notice a huge change in my endurance. That is true. I did breeze through the cardio today. The abs were easier too. It was all the strength training that kicked my butt today.

Surprisingly after all was said and done, doing the shred made my back/shoulder area not hurt as much. I thought that was odd, but I wasn't complaining. Now, hours later, it hurts again and I have a BenGay smell lingering about me - how lovely.

I will also tag on here about the diet that I have really fallen off the wagon with. I can not report results when I am not staying on track. I really am horrible at remembering to take pills and have completely forgotten to take any today. So, I guess that will be something for next week. I want to report on a whole week and not just a day here or there which will not really get me results.

As you can see the reason I struggle with weight loss is all diet. I will exercise no matter what. Diet gets me every time. Dang. I am seriously going to try, though. I want to help others and to do that I have to help myself.

Another note - I have a little tidbit coming up on those ideal weight charts that try to tell you what you should weigh. I think you will like it.
