Alright, so I've realized I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with Jillian Michaels. First it was her 30 Day Shred, then I got tickets for her tour, THEN I read her book "Slim for Life" and NOW I'm doing her Ripped in 30 but hey...if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I'm starting to look forward to my workouts every day (wow I never thought I'd say that) and I really love how I feel after! Ok, maybe not immediately after when I'm sweating like a pig and I have to convince myself that I'm not actually having a heart attack but maybe after I've showered off and had a few bottles of water. I have so much more energy during the day and I feel like I'm gotten myself much more organized in the last 23 days. I've stayed on top of school (and actually got ahead in a few classes), applied, and got hired, for a summer job at the hospital, AND set up an appointment with my advisor to start planning for my final practicum placement next year. It feels really nice to be on top of things compared to a couple of months ago when I constantly felt like I was playing 'catch-up'...VERY STRESSFUL!
Today's workout was already much better than yesterday's. I'm confident that I'll be able to keep up throughout the entire video by Sunday (knock on wood). I really like the core exercises in Week 4. They are all moves I've never done before and I find that my stomach is shaking by the end of each minute, which is great! I've also found that I'm beginning to see some definition in my muscles now. During the 30 Day Shred I was mostly trying to get rid of the padding that I'd let build up over the last couple of years but now that I've lightened my load a bit I want to start working on building up my strength. I've still got a long way to go, but I'm happy that I'm starting to see some results!
