The Shred - Part Dos

OK, now that I received clearance from my doctor, I can now start working out hard core to get rid of this "baby fat." I am ready to take on the 30 Day Shred for the second time. If you recall, before my pregnancy I tried to take on this challenge in October of '09 but by the end of that week, not only were we moving out of town but I also found out we were pregnant. So because I didn't know any better (and it was an excuse), I decided to stop the challenge and resume once baby Roddy had arrived. Well now it is that time.

No ifs, ands or buts, I am going to get through this. I am in dire need to get my self healthy again and if I shed a few pounds and firm up in the mean time that would be a great bonus too. My ultimate goal is to be healthy but I also wanted to make sure that I get back to a decent starting weight before we decide to have Baby #2. Now, don't worry we aren't jumping on that boat just yet. Our plan is to wait about a year before conceiving again. There is just too much going on financially in our lives right now AND raising an infant is a lot of work (we already knew that of course). The lack of sleep and horrible eating habits have taken a toll on our bodies. We practically need this full year to recoop :).

So while I go through this, I plan on providing updates and if I am brave enough, maybe some before and after shots with my review of the program.

So for all you Shredders out there, do you have any advice for me? Prayers? lol

Wish me luck...I am definitely going to need it!

  1. Oh good luck! I started the shred earlier this year and never made it past level 1. The jumping jacks were the worst for me. I promised myself that I had to be able to get through all the jumping jacks in level one before moving on to level 2... 2 weeks later I was still on level 1, and gave up. I really should try it again because I could really feel the results even after just 2 weeks.
