I have always been a thin person (sorry...probably just genetics) and luckily Tim has been too. We joke that our children are going to be "jolly green-giants" because we are so tall and skinny. However, since I have met Tim, he has continuously gained weight. I tell myself this is because of my good cooking but really it's more of his shear laziness. Not to say that he doesn't work hard at plenty of things and really who am I to talk, because he would say I am the Queen of Naps, but Tim gaining 50 pounds in 2 years is unacceptable! I have lost almost 20 pounds in the past 10 months after the wedding, and have always eaten healthy but Tim loves mac and cheese and therefore is tummy isn't quite the way it was when we first met! So that brings us to where we are...
Each night we have a date with Jillian Micheals.
Some of you might know her from Biggest Loser...she is the in-your-face, let-me-scream-a-little-louder, make-you-cry trainer that gets 500 pound people in shape quick! Biggest Loser is such a good motivating show, I'm in no way anywhere near the shape the people on the show are in, but if they can do it, so can I!! My friend, Kristin, first introduced me to one of Jillian's DVD's called 'The 30 Day Shred' and I was hooked! It has 3 levels of intensity and works cardio, abs and strenght for about 26.55 minutes! Yes, I stare at the DVD timer as it's going, so I know exactly when it's over! I like that she really motivates you throughout the video, saying things like, "I have 400 pound people that can do jumping jacks..so can you"...I'm like YES I CAN!! But Tim tried it with me once and he couldn't make it passed 6 minutes...he kept saying, "slow down Jillian"!...it was so funny! But this time, I begged and begged Tim to do it with me for 30 days straight and so far so good! He does cheat a little and doesn't put as much effort into it at times as I do, but he's getting his blood pumping and that's what matters!
Currently, today is day 4...we have a long way to go!
