I Feel Goooooooooooooooooooood!

Well, I didn't work out yesterday like I planned.  Not that I was doing anything else, I just wasn't doing that, I guess.

So today I redeemed myself and did both the 30 Day Shred (Level 1) - OHMYGOD it's HARD! and the Shred It (Level 1) DVD's!  Like I said, I feel goooooooood!  I didn't intend to do both, but after Jillian Michaels kicking my @ss all the way through the 30 Day Shred DVD and saying, "push through it" and "don't give up", I guess I just felt inspired to get my @ss kicked by her some more by doing the Shred It workout. 

I still think that the Shred It is my fave!  I love weight/cardio combo workouts.  I used to do Body Pump many years ago at the gym and love love loved it!  When I moved, the new gym I went to had a different version of it and it just wasn't the same.  Plus the instructor at my old gym was a guy and he seriously was a hard ass.  I loved it.  But now that I'm much fatter and much more out of shape, I'll take my small victories where I can get them....like the Jillian Michaels Shred It DVD.  :P

Not to mention that I just love Jillian Michaels in general.  I know that she's a celebrity, but it really feels like she has her heart in it and WANTS to help me get in shape.  I believe her :).  I saw her in person when I was in Paris, France...she was staying at the same hotel we were at.  She's absolutely gorgeous in person and she's thistiny.  I didn't recognize her at first and kept on saying to myself, "who was that?".  Paula Abdul kept popping in my head for some reason, but it didn't seem right.  Then, of course, after the opportunity had passed to tell her how much I love her, I realized that it was THE Jillian Michaels. 

Haha, it's funny too because that was when I was at my fattest.  I was holding my baby who was seven months at the time, he had a horribly stinky diaper and I was a hot mess, and here is this gorgeous celebrity standing in front of me.  She turned around and gave me the biggest, warmest smile and I could tell she felt sorry for me.  Probably a) because I was so fat and out of shape, I'm sure she was thinking....I could fix that,  b) because I looked bad...we had just arrived after travelling for three hours in a van with TWO screaming kids and I may have pulled a few hairs out, and c) you could smell my sons smelly diaper from a block away...it was that bad! 

So now, let's get back to reason two why I feel sooooooooooo gooooooooood!  My clothes are starting to get loose on me!  YAY!  I love the feeling of loose clothes....it makes me feel good :)  I like feeling my yoga pants swishing around on my legs a little bit and not having them be skin tight.  I like that someone is maybe thinking, "her clothes don't fit" not because they are too tight, but because they are too loose!  I LOVE IT! 

So, yes, I feel GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
