Scaring Away The Pounds

It's been awhile since I have blogged anything here.  Even worse, it's been a long time since I've worked out.

For this reason, I have decided to make a challenge for myself for the month of October.  I have decided that I can get in about 20-30 minutes of exercise in every day, so I will be doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred this month.

I can hear a few of you guys out there saying, "Jillian Michaels?  Really?  What are you, a 29-year-old woman?"

If you think that, you have obviously never tried the 30 Day Shred.  This isn't Sweatin' to the Oldies!  This is a 20 minute full-body circuit workout that uses weights, cardio and crunches.  As I sit here typing this, I can feel muscles that I didn't even know I had.

And I've only done one day of it.

Only 26 more to go.  (I am only doing it 27 days this month, since I will take Sundays off to rest.)

I have also made a couple of food goals for the month.  One of those goals is going to be difficult for the month which contains Halloween: no candy.

Oh yeah, I've had a lot of people ask me if I'm still a vegetarian and I can proudly say that I haven't had any meat since July 23rd.  In fact, I have also cut back on all animal products like milk, cheese and eggs.  Basically, I follow Michael Pollan's rule of "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."  I don't know if my cholesterol has dropped any, but I'll find out in about a month when I get a physical.

I have lost a few pounds with it, even though that wasn't my intention.
