The Good
Strawberries! My favorite grocery store - Publix - has had their strawberries on sale for the past like month and I'm so excited about it. Now some have been better than others, but for the most part they are really good. I seriously pick up three quarts each time I go (they're 3 for $5) so my refrigerator is looking like a strawberry field. (Do they grow in fields?) Anyway, my favorite summer meal is spinach salad with fresh strawberries, so I've been in summer mode for some time now :)
The Bad
I guess the bad could also been seen as good, but not when I'm in the middle of it. When I was home for spring break, I noticed that my Mom had purchased Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, so I decided to give it a try. The first day I did level one, it was semi-difficult, but I just didn't feel like I got a great workout, so I decided to try level two the next day. I'm pretty sure Jillian telepathically heard me say her workout wasn't hard, cause level two kicked my butt! Now I've done the Biggest Loser DVD's before, but this was a whole new level of hard. I wanted to kill her or myself, I'm not sure. I literally had sweat running down my face, in my eyes, and my muscles were shaking. I've done it almost everyday since and while I can tell it is getting a little easier, I'm no where ready for level 3. Before I hit play, I pace the floor in my apartment to gear myself up to do the workout. What's crazy is that she's not really there! If I want to quit, I can! But there is just something about her that makes you feel like if you quit you're a loser and the world will end! Agh!
The Ugly
Ok, so I don't really have anything for ugly, but I will ask if any of you have heard the song, "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3? I hadn't heard it until this weekend, but I had to look up the lyrics online just to be sure that I heard it right. The end of the song actually says,
"Shush Girl, Shut your lips, do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips"
Maybe it's just me, but that just seems so wrong! Anyway, Happy Monday!

That is TOTALLY wrong! I hear you with Jillian, I have the wii fit game and she KICKS MY ASS!!!! And even if you feel like just walking away you can't its like she would see you through the tb and look down on you. Its great motivation. Also staring at her abs, cuz I am drooling and I want to pull a hannibal lecter and steal her abs as my own.
I thought that was wrong too. Glad I'm not alone :)
The shred workouts kill me too! Glad I'm not alone. Sometimes I would RATHER run than do those :)
I have that DVD and I'm hiding it from myself.
You've got me intrigued about this workout video. I've never done a Biggest Loser video, I usually go with Tae Bo (which makes me feel like I'm dating myself, even though I'm not that old!). I would love to be so motivated that I can't quit! Maybe I'll check it out. :)
Oh, and yes, those lyrics are very wrong, lol. Sometimes I wonder where people get this stuff from...
I'm lovin' the berry and hating that song-ugh!
Happy Tuesday ")
ohhhhhh, your post reminds me that i need to start working out. boo swimsuit season.
strawberries are yummy! The cake is SOOOOOO worth the 4 hour drive trust me, I drove three and a half! :-D But then again I'm here all week. LOL.
Hey, my sister seriously lost like 60 pounds following Jillian. She has a six pack now. She looks amazing. So good luck with that! And my little man is a strawberry fiend, but I can't get them to stay fresh longer than like 24 hours. Do you have a trick? Just stopped by to say thanks for entering my Support the Troops giveaway! I’ll be drawing two winners tonight. Hope you’re one of them!
saying hi from sits. strawberries do grow in fields and it has been amazing how cheap they have been at publix!
Oh those strawberries look delicious!
I can't keep up with those workout dvds!
Stopping by from SITS.
