Today is day 2 of the 30 day shred (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, see the post right before this one). I put Anthony down for his afternoon nap, and when I came downstairs Madeline asked me if she could play outside. I told her, no, I was going to exercise. She jumped up and down excitedly and said she wanted to “essercise” too!
I went upstairs to my bedroom and changed into my workout clothes, and Madeline felt inspired to change into new clothes too. We got downstairs and got the DVD ready to go.
The workout began and Madeline very excitedly did the warm-up with me, doing the hip rolls, jumping jacks, and knee rolls like an old pro. Then we got into the pushups, which I hate! After that it was time for squats, with a shoulder press combined.
After about 1 minute of the strength training Madeline looked at me and said, “mommy, this is hard work. I don’t like this movie. Let’s watch Ruby and Max.”
Ahhh, yes, baby girl. Mommy doesn’t like the movie either, but it is supposed to give her a new, improved body so we must suffer through it…for the next 30 days.

Best of luck with the workouts. Let me know how it works – I might have to get that video to get rid of Ella weight.

Hey, I just did day two of the Shred yesterday! I’ll do #3 this evening. Perhaps we can be shredding buddies.
I am SO SORE and just wrote a post about it, too. Good luck with your progress! I’ll be suffering with you…
