Today I finished Day 5 of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred Weightloss DVD! And guess what?! The "beginner's versions" of the exercises were too easy! I had to start following Natalie, who was doing the "harder" or regular versions!! This meant I was going all the way down on the lunges, higher with the butt kicks and jump rope.
I'm going to be past level 1 before I even get my hand weights. That kinda worries me a little bit, but oh well. I'm not going to stop.
DH did the exercises with me today, and they were a little hard for him since this was his second day while it was my 5th. I'm really proud of him for sticking with it.
Diet update: I snacked a little yesterday, but I think my calories were still okay. It was my last day of school for the year, so people brought snacks to class. I was good though, I focused on the strawberries and when I couldn't resist, I only had 1/2 of a cookie. And then for dinner, DH and I ate out (I'm a sucker for mexican food), so I made sure not to eat again last night. I wasn't very hungry after that anyway.
Now it's time for breakfast. I think I'll go with the basic cereal. Diet tip: Only 1 serving!! Yes, that often means only one cup. Not a bowl. A measured cup! It's so hard for me, so I think I might be telling myself. Ha
Tune in tomorrow to find out how Day 6 is going. Oh and in the meantime, watch the finale of The Biggest Loser on NBC. It's one of the things that motivated me to start exercising and lose weight in the first place.
