Just Because!


Just because you are all such a supportive blog-community....just because I'm so happy that Blogspot exists and lets me journal my way through this journey....just because I'm so psyched that I've made these changes and they've actually even sorta stuck for over a month....and even when they don't (see the post below), I get right back on track.....and just because I'm 7lbs lighter than I was when I started this journey....

Just because of all of that, I'm doing a giveaway!

Everybody is talking about Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout DVD. I still maintain that the shred effect is on your lungs, because this is a serious workout! Its pure-Jillian-kickass style, she tells it like it is and puts you through your paces. No excuses- she's got 400lb people doing jumping jacks, so she expects full jumping jacks out of you! It's an awesome workout, my muscles ached for four days straight after my first time through Level 1. The reviews are impressive too, you can read them here.

So here's how you make it yours!

*For 1 entry- post a comment on this blog!
*For 2 entries- become a follower, or mention that you're a follower in your comment!
*For 3 entries- link to this giveaway from your blog and leave a comment!

I'll be picking a winner on February 14th, and the winner will receive their brand-new DVD in the mail 3-4 days later!

I hope you like the choice of prize- I'll be taking suggestions for future giveaways too!

I got the dreaded Shred DVD from Netflix and I have to say I am kind of hating Jillian right now!

Hi Rebecca, you are off to a great start. The most important thing is getting back on track. Remember that there are 21 meals in a week. We just have to stay on track for the majority of them to see losses. Plus with the exercise you are doing... good luck! I would love the shred DVD. I am a follower and I'll post a link to you on my blog. :)

I would love to have a new workout to have on hand for days I need a break from the gym. I sometimes wish Jillian would just show up at my gym and kick my butt - maybe the video will be similar!

I have this dvd but have a friend who REALLY wants it so I would definitely share! I love it- it has pushed me and challenged me in so many ways. I am taking my time and working on the moves- and making it work for me. I can tell a difference and have had several people tell me that they see a difference! I'm going to go put this to my blog (I'll post again in a minute) and I am adding you to my blogroll. I'll also add your blog as one to follow!

I just wanted to chime in that I've been doing Jillian Michaels' workouts on TV b/c we get it on our Exercise on Demand channel. Her workouts are KILLER! Some of those ab moves are amazing! I don't do it as regularly as I wold like to be able to, but I still am seeing results. Excellent choice for a hard core workout!
