I don’t recall how long have it been since I made an entry on this 30 days shred. However, I’m re-starting it. As a matter of fact, I never finish the 30 days shred.

In my attempt to save money and spend less on automobile gas now that I am unemployed, I’ve been cycling almost every where. The cycling helps tone down my leg muscle, especially my calf and maybe the waist line a tad bit. The reason I said a tad bit because the RT distance is about 3 miles. Therefore, it’s not long enough distance nor resistance for firm up more. What I need is to lose my muffin top, even more.

My younger brother is back from Europe and we’ve gone on some light hiking trail next to the local library. I also went on a hike with my neighbor, Lisa.

Light/easy hiking trail is definitely easy on my knee but it doesn’t give any definition. Maybe not enough cardio work out to retrain the muscle? I don’t know since I’m no fitness expert.

This morning, I decided to re-start with Jilian Michael 30 days shred. I felt the dumb bell weight combined with the legs works out will define and sculpt my muscle better.

It was not as hard as I remembered. I pray for support, persistence and the discipline to finish my 30 days shred so I can achieve body definition that I want. I desire for a lean, well sculpt body with elongate washboard. I am going to combine cycling, 30 day shred and yoga/Pilates workout to achieve this result. I also ask that I will make this into a life long habit and not sporadic like I did in the past. I want to make it a part of my healthy lifestyle.

I’ve lost some weight prior to my SE Asia trip earlier this year. When I came back in 2 months, I lost even more due to change in diet and weather and probally lots of walking.

Then I lost my job and ran into some personal dilemma that brought the devil binge eating out. Needless to say, I gained back almost all the weight that I worked so hard to lost.

I’ve tried previous diet and exercise yet still fail.

Then, I a few days ago, I saw the “Michael Jillian 30 days shred” result on pintest. This gave me the inspiration to shape up. I’m now back on the South Beach diet for 1 week already and going to combine it with “Michael Jillian 30 days shred”.

I hoped that even if I do not lose the weight back and re-set it to the same weight as earlier this year, it would help me tone up.

I went easy today since I didn’t know what to expect out of this new work out but were scared due to comments/reviws on Amazon.

I plan on combining atleast 20 minutes of cardio via the Eliptical machine after work today. I want to tone up and go back to the same size when I first came back from Cambodia.

29 more days to go.

I pray that I get encouragement, feeling inspired, and the patience and courage to stick to the workout regiment. 17 months ago
