RPattz, Haiti, and Shredding Update

AAAAaaaaaaCHOOOOOooo! I'm glad I can't pass germs through the computer. I have been not feeling too good the last few days. It has really put a kink in my exercising/shredding. I did shred on Monday and Wednesday, but on Wednesday I felt like I was going to pass out...it was difficult getting enough oxygen with my nose all stuffed up. I did lose 1 pound at Weight Watchers on Wednesday. Not what I was hoping for (after 9 days of shredding), but it was better than the alternative. I'm hoping some rest this weekend will get rid of this junk so I can resume my regularly scheduled programming. I HATE being sick. How is everyone else feeling?


Well, this made me feel a little better this morning...I found this new pic of Rob that was taken today. What is it with these celeb guys and their beards? I must admit that he still looks WAY HOTT!

RPattz will be hosting the London leg of the Haiti Telethon tonight (on most channels, go to mtv.com for complete list of channels...click HERE to donate online). Every little bit helps.

Praying for Haiti

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Do You Shred?

I've been shredding for exactly 1 week! I actually just finished my 8th day of shredding! I know that doesn't sound like that big of an accomplishment, but for me it is HUGE!

I'm the world's worst at sticking to exercise plans.

If you don't know what shredding is, it is a workout DVD hosted by none other than Biggest Loser's Jillian Michaels...and IT.IS.HARD! It is the hardest workout I've ever done.
The keys to my success this last week are ACCOUNTABILITY (there are lots of bloggers who shred), Jillian's militant attitude that forces you to finish, my goals that I've set and want so badly to reach, and the progress...the progress comes relatively quickly! In the first 3 days, I could tell a difference in stamina and endurance.

On day 4, I could feel a difference in my abs while I was doing the crunches...it's like I could actually feel ab muscles down under all the fat screaming to get out...and I liked it! Days 5, 6, and 7 are when you can start to really tell a difference in your capability to do each little step and not miss a beat...and finish with style. I could feel myself jumping higher, squatting lower, and pushing harder than I had before. Believe or not, but after only 7 days of working out, I can already tell a difference in my pants! I took a before picture, but I don't want to show it to you guys until the end of the 30 days. I want to really be able to tell a difference. One of my major goals right now is to be 2 sizes smaller by the time I go to TwiCon in March...and right now I'm feeling like it is possible!

Here is a list of fellow bloggers who also shred and have blogged about it:

Go visit them and see their progress! Accountability has helped me so much in this last week! Let's do this together! Do you shred?
