WFMW: The 30 Day Shred Challenge

Getting in shape has become an ongoing struggle for me over the last several years.

I had finally joined a gym with my husband about 2 years ago.  This was really hard for me to do since I was completely out of shape.  In fact I found it difficult to walk on the treadmill.  But I was determined, and it was long before the Elliptical and Stepper became my favorite friends.

This was also a neat time to spend with my husband and it wasn’t long before we saw real results.  I lost almost 15 pounds and was seeing muscles I didn’t know existed.

I’m not sure how it happened exactly, but we just kind of stopped going regularly.  And now I am almost back to where I started physically.

So I have heard amazing things about 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels, and I am going to commit to doing it. This is going to be my birthday present to myself.

I’m sure it isn’t going to be easy, but I am hoping it will give me the kick start I need to get back to the gym again.

I went ahead and redeemed some Swagbucks I’ve earned to get a $25 Amazon Gift Cetificate.  If you aren’t already signed up for Swagbucks, I highly recommend it.  You earn money every time you search for something on the internet.

You can sign up here for Swagbucks.

Then I took my gift certificate to Amazon to purchase The 30 Day Shred.

It’s priced pretty low- $8.99, and you can get FREE shipping if you add something else to bring your total up to $25.  But I just went ahead and paid for shipping.

You can purchase it from Amazon here.

Altogether it was $11.97, and it is already on it’s way!

Are you up to the challenge?

I would love to have some others join me in this 30 challenge to get fit.  I can definitely use the support and the accountability.  Please let me know if you’ll be joining me in The 30 Shred Challenge.
