Shredding It: Day Four


A 20-something intern at Women’s Post who loves food, chronicling her way through the world of working out and the 30 Day Shred. 

I got a drive home yesterday after work and for those 30 minutes that I was sitting in the car, my body decided to transform into a big ball of soreness and I could barely walk out of the car into my house. Luckily, with some stretching, I managed to pop Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred into my laptop and start the fourth work out of the week.

I popped in some 5 pound weights into the workout last night. My arms are a bit sore because of it today. Again, the lunges made me want to cry. I think all my sweat comes out during the lunging portion. It’s the only part of the workout where I can’t keep up in reps with the girls on screen. By the way, has anyone noticed that the one on the left looks like Shakira? Just saying. She must have snuck in some belly dancing to get those abs.

On the food front, we had some lovely frozen yogurt freebies delivered to us at work. It was free, it was cold and it came with toppings like Nerds and brownies. I had to eat it. I had to. It was so good. Yogurt has probiotics, right? And those are good for you, right?

I made the mistake of looking ahead at the level three work out and it’s hard. I can barely do pushups, on account of having wimpy baby arms. Level three has some interesting arm exercises and may leave me curled up in a ball on the floor. But for now, I have six more days in level one and then it's on to level two. I swear I looked a little different when I looked in the mirror this morning.

Not really. But a girl can dream.
