Calling All Shredders!

My goal for February is to do the 30 Day Shred every day. It's a butt kickin workout in 20 minutes and we all can find 20 min. right??? I know many of you have tried it already, so now I'm calling all "shredders" to join me in my February Shred Challenge! C'mon peeps, you know ya want to look like Jillian and her girls, so LET'S DO THIS!!! I read some great reviews from some first-time shredders today; check out Kari's "picture that says a thousand words" and Heather's most hilarious review that I have ever read! You will pee your pants; we did =0D


Okay, let's get to the food...
I did my normal early morning elliptical workout for 30 minutes. Got the daughters off to school and had a quick breakfast of Puffins with 1/2 c. milk and sliced strawberries (3 POINTS)...



Lunch was a cup of black bean soup (1 POINT), hummus wrap with roasted pepper and lettuce (3 POINTS) and an apple (1 POINT). Notice the lack of chips, lately?? I'm "trying" to cut back!


Afternoon snack was the most delicious snack, ever! I used 3 TJ's flax and honey flatbread crackers, spread them with 1 Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedge and topped with 1 oz. smoked salmon. An amazing 3 POINTS...

I loved that snack so much that I saw more salmon in my future =) Future came fast, dinner was....Salmon! Trader Joe's makes these great Salmon Roulettes that are stuffed with a spinach filling for 4 POINTS. Best part is that you can microwave them without it making them gross or dried out. Three minutes later, it's on your plate! I paired it with 2 0z. whole wheat orzo and a salad dressed with 1 tsp. evoo and vinegar. A fantastic 8 POINT dinner...

A bit after dinner, I headed to Shred it! Still Level 1; don't foresee getting to Level 2 anytime in the near future! I haven't even watched it; not even going there!
I was feeling for a dessert tonight. I know this isn't news as I have dessert every night! It was a tough decision tonight because I am out of my luscious Vitatops. I placed an order from their website for a special Valentine's Day package (they emailed this to me) which I'm really excited about because they are including a limited edition Banana Fudge flavor. Wowza! Can't wait!!!!!
Until then, I had a graham cracker topped with PB2 and a bit of Smucker's Sugar Free Grape Jam for 2 POINTS...


So, what do ya think, Shredders?? Are you in?? Let me know and we'll check in on each other to keep us going! C'mon...let's get shredded!!!

I just received Shred from my husband for our anniversary (by request of course)... I'm tempted to do your challenge... I just am trying to figure out how to balance it with my gym routine that I've had for the last like 10 years.. hrm..

I'm in! I'm moving at the speed of a turtle from shredding last night, but I will make my way through another 20 minutes of it today. After I buy some Depends, of course. lmao

I am a HUGE vitatop fan as I see you are. I have tried the banana fudge flavor and just wanted to let you know that it is just as delicious as all the others. I love it! I love these things so much that as soon as I notice that I only have several left I make my next order so that I am never without them.

That salmon with cream cheese snack looks very delicious. Your blog just reminded me of my Puffins again. My first PB box was gone in 3 days. My second box was gone in 2. Too addicting.

I wish I had the shred DVD, I would totally join. Its next on my list to get. Good luck on your month though, can't wait to see the results.

I'm all game for the challenge. I was just about to return the dvd to netflix...i gave it a try but felt it was too slow. I like fast cardio like ''The Firm''. You've made me change my mind...I'll give Jillian another try! hahaha
