Then I did level three and oh my goodness. I thought I was going to puke in my living room yesterday. I think that Jillian Micheals might be a genius (of fitness), and I think I'm developing a non-sexual crush on the woman. She's definitely a rough around the edges kind of gal and probably the reason finishing school was invented, but I love it when she says things like taking the stairs "is a false message of lethargy." To me, that's kind of magical. Look at her in that picture looking all ready to take you on.
I also love how she wails on her friends when they cheat during exercises (and have you noticed that Natalie cheats A LOT when she's not looking?)--I assume that to be friends with Jillian you have to be totally cut or she'll make you do 40 pushups every time you come over and then tell you to stop your bitching because she knows 400 lb people that can do jumping jacks and you should stop being such a wuss.
Now that's friendship.
Food yesterday:
I was really good on Monday, but had a bit of a lapse yesterday and ended up eating way too much cheese while I was cooking dinner. I don't know what's up with that, but I'll count it as a blip and move on.
oatmeal & brown sugar - 3 pts
pork sandwich -5 pts
cheese and crackers - 4 pts
cheeeeese - 8 pts? 10 pts? Yikes.
tortilla pie - 6 pts
drink - 3 pts (oops, did I foget to mention this one earlier?)

I totally have a crush on Jillian too. She is just awesome. I love her podcasts too because she just tells it like it is. No BS with her. I have the 30 day shred but I haven't attempted Level 3 yet. Sounds a little scary. :)
My husband and I love watching Biggest Loser. We love Jillian and Bob for very different reasons - they definitely make the show more interesting. And I've heard a number of people talk about Jillian's 30-Day Shred. Might have to look into it myself ...
BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog. How on earth did you find me?
Hi Purl!!
It's so nice to hear from you!! :)
Ugh - I swear I've been stuck in this rut forever. Being sick right now just makes it all the more obvious to me that I HAVE to follow through this time.
I'm looking forward to catching up with what you've been up to!!
And way to go with the JM30DS!! WOO HOO!!
I totally have a girl crush on her.
Way to go on the work outs!
My baby boy has a crush on Jillian too after watching us work out every morning. I just finished 30 consecutive days of the Shred yesterday. (roughly 10 days on each level). I can't believe I made it to the point of being able to do Level 3 without modifications, right along with Natalie. On day one, I couldn't even do "boy style" push-ups! (yes, Natalie works out half-assed when the camera is not directly on her, I caught that too!)
I went down one size, lost 12 pounds and several inches and feel like an amazon. I wasn't "dieting" but was watching my portions and drinking lots of water. I'm so impressed that I got another dvd and am starting that one Monday.
I agree with the Shred. I have only done Level One and think it was hard, but not that hard. I am in a 2nd floor apartment, so I didn't do all of the cardio. I tried keeping my heart rate up (with success, I think).
