I’ve really been stalling on this one.

When Kristen announced her new “get fit fast” plan for the month of March, I was intrigued. I had just started exercising again, but any little thing could derail me from exercising (too tired, too cold, too early, too late, headache, backache, planets out of alignment, etc). Knowing I’d be doing this program with a bunch of other awesome women gave me a little push.

Plus, I had never even heard of the 30-Day Shred workout, but after hearing that twenty minutes a day is all it takes? Srsly? Sign me up!

What stalled me was that many of those participating were posting “before” photos. Uhhhhhhhhh.

It’s not that I think I’m overweight. In fact, I’m not exercising to lose (much) weight but to tone all those areas that have been so neglected over the past few years. The odd thing is that I popped right back to my pre-pregnancy weight after having Belly and Jilly, but after D, I haven’t been able to get rid of the extra 10 pounds hanging out around my mid-section.

And, man, would I like to have some muscles.

So, here goes nothing!

I’ve been shredding at Level 1 for five days now, starting at 140 pounds. I am now 138, and would like to get down to 130, but I cannot, will not diet. I’ve explained why before, and I trust that my body knows what my weight needs to be to stay healthy.

But, listen, waist? I’d like you to get rid of that flesh coat you’ve had on for the past few years. Really, it’s getting old.
