Day 7: 30 Day Shred - LEVEL 2!!!!

That's right! LEVEL 2, BABY!!!

Yeah, I really don't know why I'm so excited. Today, Jillian told me that if I feel like I am going to die, then she's doing her job. Well, kudos to you, Jillian. Ku. Dos. Because I do. You're just Employee of the Month. I'll work on getting you a special parking spot.

My pug trainers took another break today, but that's ok. Turtle stepped up to give a hand. He's really an awesome little boy.





So, yes, I graduated. I know I said I was going to wait til 10 days, but I figured I would go for it anyway. Start the week off right. And it's funny because there are parts that are easier and parts that are harder. I figured I'd be flopping through the whole thing, but really, with the exception of a couple of exercises, I was able to keep just slightly ahead of my good buddy Anita. And we caught the Glamazon cheating just a wee bit, again. She really slacks if Jillian's not right there to keep her in line.

The other thing is that Jillian is getting a little bit zen in this level. I paid $14 for a high-intensity workout, JM, not a philosophy lesson. I much prefer your boot camp tendencies then your touchy-feely "you can DO this." But that's just me. It's the whole reason yoga and I were never friends.

She also says if we keep this up, we'll be at level 3 in no time. Hmmm. Maybe, maybe not. I have to get rid of the fire in my triceps and my lower abs, first.

PS - in Level 1, the last 60 seconds of abs were a dream. In Level 2, it takes you to about the 8th circle of hell. Just a heads up.
