Fit Friday- "30 day shred!"

Welcome to another Fit Friday! My sweet friend Rachel left me a comment on a previous Fit Friday post and this is what she had to say:

"You wanna know the most AMAZING workout video EVER? Jillian Michael's 30 day SHRED! It will change your life and I never say that!!!!!! GET IT! :)"

Well, I was on the list at the library for this DVD and I finally received it and let me tell you.... Rachel, you were RIGHT!!!! This video is amazing! One twenty minute workout left both my sister and me sweating like crazy and so incredibly sore the next day. So far I've done it three times in the past few days and I am still feeling super sore, and I'm only on level one! Whew! Jillian is right- this is the way to your best body yet! (That is, if you can suffer through the torture hehe.) I am a huge fan of the Biggest Loser and now have a taste for what those contestants do every day at the ranch. Let's give them the credit they deserve!!! Thank you so much for recommending the DVD, Rachel!! I am off to buy it today since it is THAT good! Hope you all have a fantastic & fit weekend! :)

And on a sidenote...
Andrew graduates to his next belt level (orange!) tomorrow morning and we are so proud of him! He has taken to karate SO well and just loves it!! :) YAY! xo!

here's my reaction.

Last night was a huge TV night in my house. American Idol and the season finale of Biggest Loser?! Could it GET more exciting?! hehe! :) First of all, let me say that if Adam does not win on American Idol, it is a tragedy. He is so so soooo ridiculously amazing!

I voted so many times last night that my fingers hurt. Between myself, my dad, and my sister, we voted a gazillion times. He better not go out tonight!! :) Personally, I am keeping my fingers crossed that Kris gets lucky and is in the final two with Adam. I think Danny is a total snoozefest and he needs to go. (Just my opinion!)

Now onto the Biggest Loser, which I stayed up until 1am to finish. We had DVR-ed both shows and watched American Idol first, then moved on to the three hour season finale of the Biggest Loser. Overall, it was really good and I am so happy for all of those people. I was really rooting for Mike, who has got to be the CUTEST thing in the world- he lost over 200 pounds and is only 18, my gosh!!! And of course, Tara looked amazing as well, and I really thought she had the best chance of winning.

BUT when it all came down to percentages, little old Helen ended up winning. I was SO disappointed. She looked like a skeleton lady and looks so unhealthy. She ended up losing 140 pounds, but she doesn't look well!!! Anyone else watch the show and agree???

I think she looked better 20 pounds heavier at least- she looked vibrant and healthy and thin when she left the ranch. Now her face looks gaunt and creepy. Yes, she lost a ton of weight, but she doesn't look good.

Shoulda kept it like that, Helen. Now go eat a cheeseburger now that you have won $250,000! Ugh.

Well weigh in on your thoughts about American Idol and can't wait for tonite!! xo!
