I've never really watched the Biggest Loser, so I wasn't really sure what Jillian Michaels was all about, but the sight of her toned abs and bulging arms was enough to make me an official convert to the church of Jill. I figure she must know at least a little something. (The claim that you can lose 20 lbs in 30 days seems a) a little far fetched and b) a little unhealthy, but whatever, I'll bite.)
Yesterday morning I was a model of diet and exercise and decided to try day 1 of the DVD before work. I started with level 1 because I had read that even that was very challenging. (Of course, Jililan doesn't take into account a puppy that freaks out when you start doing jumping jacks in your living room, nor that said puppy will try and attack you when you lie down for a set of sit ups, but I digress.)
I love how she keeps telling me that I won't see results if I don't work for it. It sucks to be told the truth, as it always does, but it's definitely what I need to hear. The workout was pretty tough, but I think I'm probably ready to move to level 2 pretty soon. (I admit I didn't use the weights on the first try because I was too lazy to get them out of the cloest. Perhaps not a good sign of things to come?)
Anyway, my plan is to try to do 30 days in a row. I don't know if I'll make it as the only thing I've even been able to do for 30 days in a row is eat (and sleep).
Food yesterday:
B: oatmeal and brown sugar - 3 pts
L: sweet and sour pork w/ brown rice & banana - 7 pts
S: smart pop - 2 pts
D: potato apple latkes and spinach salad - 4.5 pts
S: Chocolate chip cookies - 6 pts (I was craving chocolate very much and I shouldn't have baked. But I did and then I paid for it. Oops.)
Total 22.5 pts
