I'm calling in sore!

My first day with The Shred went well. I managed to make it through the workout without stopping- always a plus! By the end I was sweating like a pig....and I never sweat! No really, I don't sweat when I workout usually, but man did I ever yesterday!

I thought 20 minutes would be a breeze, but Jillian works you hard! I can definitely feel the burn today. My arms are so sore in my tricep area- I had to ask WEG what the muscle was because it is killing me today- he told me that was the tricep and working it would keep down the flab. And yes, I have some flab in the arm area.

My arms hurt so bad that I have only noticed soreness in my legs when going up and down stairs and that's saying something!

This morning when I woke up I told WEG that I hurt and his response was "Well, I guess you'll have to call in sore!" Yeah, if only life worked like that....Sorry I'm not coming to work, I'm sore from working out!

I can definitely see where this video will help tone me up and maybe as an added bonus, lose a few pounds. Mainly I'm interested in the toning up! Thunder thighs, be gone! Therefore, I must stick to this, so I'm holding myself accountable by writing it on a calendar at home. I feel like that will help me stick with it- and really I can't say I don't have time to fit in a 20 minute workout. So, I'll update y'all on my progress periodically and hopefully have some good results in a few weeks!
