I am 2 sizes too big for my dress...

My knees are shaking (even while I sit). Sweat is dripping down my back. I'm finding it hard to type since my biceps are jelly. I have yet to regain my breath and feel on the verge of death. It's day 1 of Operation Beautiful Bride Body. A task that I enlisted Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred to aid in. I want to kill Jillian Michaels.

It was a short 20 minute workout, but I'm going to be feeling this all day. The workout is vigorous with NO breaks. A warm-up; 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, 1 minute abs (repeat x3); cool down. Sounds easy, no? NO! I read reviews before I bought the DVD (more than a month ago). The workout left some people in so much pain going to the bathroom was out of the question. I'm not that bad, but I can see where they're coming from. Plus, I cheated and did nothing during the ab portions of the workout.

Watching what I eat is proving to be the hardest thing. Yesterday I ordered TWO entrees from La Tienda. Fried pork, french fries, fried yuca, black beans, marianted chicken & yellow rice. I also got a flan for dessert (that I ate first). Of course I didn't eat it all and J came home and polished off my leftovers. I also had 2 brownies right before I started the workout. And a big glass of whole milk, which may be why I'm feeling a little queasy. I just love food. Too much.

Tomorrow is Day 2 of 30 Day Shred. I hope it is anyway.
