Day 3

Tuesday after lunch, Bryan met my daughter and I at my sons school to discuss his grades and behavior with his teacher. After that joyful discussion, my son and I went to the dentist to both get cleanings and I was having a filling overhang repaired/replaced and a consultation for my TMJ. What was supposed to be an hour and a half long appointment turned into 3 1/2 hours of dentist hell, in my opinion. I'm sure it could be worse. After having my mouth held open for 3 hours, the suction, scraping, grinding, whatever business they do in there while I drool and gag constantly, I almost lost it. I couldn't take it anymore. They finally finished up, probably fed up with my gleaking saliva in their general direction, and let us go home.

So yesterday I was sore, tired and cranky but I busted out Day 2 of the 30 Day Shred level 1. I am seriously going to push myself to do it everyday, except maybe weekends. My husband makes fun of me. When we were still living in our apartment, I couldn't find my weights, so I'd use cans of beans. I figured something was better than nothing, right? He'd peak in, pretend to do bicep curls and chant "BEANS!" Now when I insist he'll make fun of me, he tells me "oh stop, i will not" Seriously, I don't want to deal with his shit. I'm hoping we can do some type of workout together, though.

I was thinking i'll do 10 days of each level but today I went ahead and did level 2 and let me tell you, it was TOUGH. I woke up, my legs a little sore, my chest really sore, my teeth are still a little sensitive and I felt like not doing anything today, giving it a rest. I realized that would be stupid. Level one was much easier yesterday, with the exception of my raspy breathing, so I thought I could pull off level 2 and I did it. I don't want to get bored with a level doing it for too long, so I might mix it up between the 2 until I feel ready to throw in level 3. Maybe i'll get really enthusiastic and try some other videos on youtube, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. It just really feels good to be doing something again! I'm really hoping to see some results with my before and after pictures. I did take them, i'm just not gutsy enough to post them until I can see some change. I already FEEL better, but i'm sure there isn't much change, it takes time.

Wish me luck.
