Shredded

With this title you may expect to read a tale involving deep emotion and pain. I will give you pain ... and hopefully a laugh as well.

I recently entered a new chapter in my post baby weight loss journey. I purchased my first dvd workout - Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I do it every other day alternating with running rather than every day as intended. One word - intense. In one twenty minute workout I sweat more than a 30 minute 3 mile run, it is ridiculous! It probably doesn't help that I just recently discovered she recommends starting with a set of 3 lb weights and I've been using 5 lb weights.

So my husband and I joke about how "shredded" I am getting since beginning the workout program and my daughters have heard. Our almost 3 year old says she does not want me to be "swredded" because she has perceived it as being a bad thing instead of being a bada@%. She has the most precious pronunciation when she tells me this it is almost impossible not to laugh at her.
