someone's in for a world of hurt

I did something stupid.  Something really stupid.  And now I'm going to pay for it.

I invited pain, and I fear quite possibly torture, into my home. 


Because this lady is on her way to my house.  I ordered Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred from Amazon today. 

I'm not going to lie - I'm scurred. I've watched Jillian rip into those Biggest Loser contestants {whilst munching on chocolate chip cookies - does that show make anyone else hungry?}.  I'm not really interested in having Jillian holler at me.  And I'm pretty sure there aren't any cookies involved in the 30 Day Shred. 

What the hell have I gotten myself into?

I just started this, and oh my goodness, is it intense! I absolutely love it though. She really makes me not want to stop because who knows, she just might come out of the tv! Be careful on the squats. Those almost killed me. I was feeling really good and just did full squats the whole time. It took a week for me to walk normal!

Nat said...

I LOVE the Shred!!! She will totally kick your butt!!! The good part is that the workout is only 20 mins long and it really will get you into shape!

Melissa said...

I've heard good things! Perhaps you can sneak in a cookie here and there ;)

Ashley said...

This is a great video. Painful? Oh yes! But really good.

Good luck!!! This video is actually really hard, but if you stick with it, it will get you in shape! I never lasted more than 5 days, but now that I've been going to the gym (and am in a little better shape), I'm going to try it out again soon.

This is one of the best workouts I have ever done. Stay consistent with it and you will see results. And its only 20 minutes! My kind of workout, for sure!

Candice said...

I have been thinking about getting this video! Let me know how you like it! I haven't heard a bad thing about it!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Vic said...

Best of luck to you! She is a tough cookie, not gonna lie to you. The first time I did it, my quads hurt so bad that it hurt to lift my right foot to press the gas or brake pedal in my car. Seriously. But it got better soon and I dropped some serious pounds. Enjoy!

Kristen said...

Get ready to hate and love Jillian all at the same time. I have been known to swear at her during the work out a bit :-)

Good luck!

Danielle said...

You can do it! I have a love hate relationship with Jillian and this is a serious workout. Both my husband and I have done it a couple of times and both agreed it's serious business. He's doing P90X now and said Jillian really prepared him. Good luck!

Kristen B said...

Ok, I say when you are done and are hating Jillian and never want to turn it on again and it is collecting dust. Send it my way so I can shed some of the preg lbs. It is the right thing to do Mel.

Haha you crack me up! My friends does these also. Can't wait to hear the results.. I amy have to get my hands on a copy. She's scary...

lee said...

I just started this last week!!! It really is great...and that says a lot b/c i HATE to work out unless it's walking to a bar :) but only 20 minutes and my arms are already stronger...now just waiting for my legs to catch up and see some results

Julia said...

30 Day Shred is a life saver! It's the only way I've been able to continue working out during my internship. Gotta love a mere 20 min workout that feels like a real workout.

Becca said...

Oh she is going to be hollering at you allright! The first level isn't too bad but the 2nd and 3rd are pure hell. Good luck, can't wait to see what you think!

I am ashamed to admit it, but I ordered this DVD (after reading about it on other blogs) and only did the workout a couple of times, I'm such a wimp. Reading all of these comments has guilted me into picking it up and giving it another try...someday!

Susannah said...

Yeah, you are. But it's okay. You can do it. It does get easier.

Sarah from 20somethingcupcakes said...

Ahhh! Did I have anything to do with this fabulous purchase!??

You will have to let me know how it goes! xxSAS
