The last few days have been pretty uneventful and rather boring, with not much to report on. So I figured I would do another post of some more random thoughts that are shaking around in my little brain.
*The Shred...All I can say is OH MY GOSH!!! I did the first 20 minute workout yesterday morning without stopping and had a great time doing it. The entire time I was following the video I was thinking to myself...this isn't too bad at all. I was feeling all of my muscles right away, but it wasn't anything that I didn't think I could deal with. Then about 2 hours after my legs and arms started to feel kinda shaky. Six hours after I was starting to feel soreness in other places. By the time I went to bed at 11:00 I was having a difficult time taking off my clothes to put on my jammies. Then this morning rolled around....GOOD LORD am I sore!!! The first step out of my bed this morning was painful. I can safely say that the 30 Day Shred works muscles that I have not worked in an extremely long time. Heck I think I worked muscles that I didn't even know I had. At one point today I contemplated peeing standing up, so I wouldn't have to squat down on the seat my legs hurt so bad. Going up and down the stairs darn near brings tears to my eyes. This morning when I was getting dressed I even thought about not putting on a bra and just wearing a bra top cammi because I was having a difficult time hooking my bra because it hurt my arms and chest so bad to put my arms in that position. If I thought Bo could have helped me I think I would have asked him to hook my bra. :) After feeling like this I dang well better have my shredded body after 30 days like the cover says. I hurt EVERYWHERE!! However like "T" told me today..."No pain, no gain." I guess he is right, I just hope the pain goes away soon. Since I couldn't move I took today off from the video, I just tried to stretch out the best I could. I will get right back on the horse tomorrow and see what happens then. I'm bound and determined to stick with this. All in all it is a great workout and I would highly recommend it, just be prepared for being sore the next morning. Huh...and I thought I was in shape!
*Dancing with the Stars alright be honest with me who watches it? Come on now admit it!.... I must admit I love love this show and I have watched it every time that it has been on. (I know, I know...leave me alone) I don't know what it is but I really like watching them all dance, and man can the pro's dance. I also must admit I wonder that if I took up dancing would I or could I wind up looking like one of the professional women dancers? Uhm, I'm thinking not but a girl can dream right? During last night's show there were a few standouts and a few flubs in my book. I've gone to 3 different rodeo's and have seen Ty ride a bull one time, he is good at that, but I'm afraid he needs to leave the dance floor. That other older guy needs to go as well. Sorry, but he can't dance to save his soul. As far as the lady stars that need the boot. Holly...I know she was just added to the show, but she was awful. I think the people that stand a chance at winning are, Shawn the Gold medal winner, she was just plain cute and danced I thought really well. Chuck Wicks, I think he has a lot of potential to go far and he did the Waltz very gracefully. I also thought that Melissa the newest cast member did an awesome job. I think she may just really have a chance at winning this. I also kind of hope she does. The other person who I thought stood out was Gilles. I admit I have never seen him act in anything before but I thought he did a really good job with dancing. I think the top two will be...Gilles and Melissa. With Melissa taking home the disco ball. (the poor girl deserves something after all) Who are you guys picking to win?
*Seriously, when is spring going to get here? I realize that the first official day of spring is March 20 and it is only a few weeks away, but I really don't know how much more of the cold, snow, rain, dreariness I can take. I need the sun and warmth and I need it NOW!!! I have been looking forward to summer since about September (I'm not a winter person) I'm hoping that we have a short spring this year and jump right into the hot weather. All I want to wear is shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. I'm so tired of coats, socks, jeans, and sweat shirts.
*I cried last night pretty dang hard. I don't even really know why, all of a sudden the tears just started flowing and I couldn't stop them. I was in a good mood all day and night. Then late last night right before I went to sleep I just started bawling. I think I had an I'm lonely moment, I hate this all moment and an I miss Shawn moment all rolled into one big tear fest. It didn't last for long, just long enough to get me all stuffy and to get puffy eyes. My friend Lora was the one who got the snotty phone call this time. Well we actually texted back and forth then talked for a little while before we each went to bed.
Ok...that is all I have for today and another post of random thoughts.

I watch and I like your picks for the winners. I am cheering for Melissa, she needs a change of luck.
You might have to take a day off from the shred, but by your fourth day it will be totally manageable :)
Glad to hear the Shred is going to kill me. I too saw it on Kelly's Korner and ordered it (and 2 more). Can't wait to try them!
Can I just say that you are totally adorable! Your blog is a beautiful tribute.
No fun that you were all sore, makes um, everything more difficult, for surely anything worth getting dressed and putting on a bra for! I will be back!
I thought I got the Shred DVD but ended up with another one from her. I have not done it yet. OOps.
I am like you I want the sun and no snow. I do watch Dancing with the Stars. I am not sure who I want to win though. I will let you know. Sorry to hear you are feeling sad. I send you hugs. Try and take it easy with that Shred okay.
Remember .. there is a full moon out tonight. That could explain the tears. I mean not that you need an explanation .. you've been through enough in the last 6 months to cry every moment for the next 6 months plus.
Take a day of rest from exercising, but stretch so that your muscles don't lock up. It's so easy to be tempted to go full force into everything right away, but you don't want to hurt so bad that you can't even sit down to pee! :D
Also a wonderful exercise partner is the Wii Fit. OMG I love it!
Now I don't know if I want to try the Shred workout or not! I'm a little scared...
Sorry you were feeling low last night - those times are hard, I'm sure! Still praying for you about that.
I'm ready for warm weather too. Not the shorts and tank tops (I rarely wear shorts OR tank tops), but boy do I love hot weather! Hopefully it will be here soon.
Hope your muscles are feeling a little better today. Don't overdo it.
YOU WIN, go and check out my blog...
I want Melissa to win, poor thang. After watching The Bachelor and what he did to her she does deserve something!
Thanks for entering my giveaway for $10 to the charity of your choice. I was reading through the comments and saw yours - I'm so sorry about your husband. How young he was! I'm so sorry for you, but I'm happy that you are moving forward. :)
P.S. I also have the Shred DVD - I'm always sore the next day, but good sore!
Man that Shred sounds pretty hard! I need to do that but I do not have the will power to make myself! Sorry you had a bad night. ((((HUGS)))))
