I finally made it into the closest health food store today. I needed some goodies and well, I ended up with a whole lot more! Although I did draw the line at the $15 bottle of macadamia nut oil..next time!
The biggest collard leaves I've ever seen!! These were destined for wraps:)
Biodegradable kitchen bags, Amazing Grass sampler, ginkgo leaves (going to try it in a tea), whole dulse (my favorite kind!), veggie cubes, detox sprouting seed mix
Chia seeds for more protein puddings of course!
That's right, I'm one step closer to making VOO. I think tonight's the night..wahoo!!
Now onto some fitness!! I finally caved and got a copy of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I don't plan to use her program for 30 days, just for days when I'm short on time or want a little something different.
I did Level 1 today and wow, I am humbled. I was cocky and used 20lbs of weight...ya well within a couple minutes of the strength circuit I was using only the one ten pound weight in two hands. I only have one 5lb dumbbell in the house and so I think I better buy another one because 20 lbs of weight was WAY too much. Lesson learned. If the trainers are only using two 5lb weights, don't think you can up them!
Yep, Jillian kicked my but...and my hair..ugh
All in all I really liked the workout and it went by super fast! Nice variety and no "cheeze" which a lot of workout DVD's seem to have.
Have you tried her DVD's? What did you think?
Have a great night everyone! I'm off to a conference for work tomorrow then it's the weekend..wahoo! Have a great time and I'll be back soon with a delish casserole recipe.
XOXO

Great purchases at the health food store!
And guess what!? I'm doing the 30 day shred as well! I joined a challenge online and we are on day 17! It's quite fun isn't it :D When I read you tried 20lb weights my mouth dropped open, lol! I do 5lb weights and have upped to 10lb weights in both hand on certain exercises.
The first 4 days of the shred lvl 1 are pretty tough...but just wait till you get to lvl 2. Everyone says it's the toughest. I'm on day 7 of it and is still not any easier than day 1 :D
Have fun with it!
