Shred Challenge Day 1....

So. Today is Day 1 of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Challenge from one of my new favorite bloggers- Syl at http://www.livesmilerun.com/.

The challenge is simple...Complete the video- 20 minutes a day for 20 days. 10 days on level 1, 10 days on level 2, and 10 days on level 3. Track your progress along the way, weigh yourself, take a picture and take your measurements every 10 days.

(A bonus is that by entering the challenge and completing it I get my name in a drawing to win a prize and get my blog mentioned on Syl's website, a blogger that I admire immensly so of course I want to win!)

I have been 'trying' to do this video for 30 consecutive days forever now and I am so determined to do it this time! I am very very excited about this! =)

Not only that I am excited about the oppurtunity I have given myself. I set a goal at the beginning of this year to lose 70+lbs by the end of this year. I have lost about 36lbs...so now is the hard part. My life style hasn't completely changed yet. I get to really live what I have been reading about the last 8 months. I get to really make the shift that is necessary to get the results I want.

I will post my 'before' pics tonight as well as my measurements and a recap of my goals as I think I have been kind of scattered the last couple of weeks.

Until tonight....♥
