The past 60 days have been life (and, as Kristen pointed out, ass) changing.  I've been losing (or relosing) weight since last November, but hadn't been doing any strength training or cardio to go along with it.  Along came the #shredheads and boom – the working out commenced!  60 days later and I'm still...

I thought my review...

OK, I'm okay with defeat (but detoes are gross…get it?  Come ON people!), and my workouts are still good.  But I do need to refocus on...

During Wednesday's workout, after 42 days in a row with no break my body felt like it was going to fall apart.  Kristen suggested that I do something like low impact yoga as a break from Jillian, and I thought that was a sensible idea.  Then I did Jillian's No More Trouble Zones that...

Happy April 15th, everyone!  What better day than tax day to talk about form?  Get it?  Form?  Taxes?  Come on, people, you have to work with me here. Since going back to the 30 Day Shred after doing Jillian's longer videos, I've noticed that my form has slipped a bit and I'm not sure why. ...
