Food porn + Jillian Michaels 30 day shred

This week has been off to a great start except for one MAJOR setback. My gym membership at Goodlife got cancelled. One very sore and pathetic day in December I asked our health department how I could cancel my membership....I guess this means that I asked her to outright cancel it. Anyways, they can't reinstate my membership until March 15th so I'm basically gym-less for over a month. It's like the Gods of skinny are working against me here.

I did potentially find a solution....

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred! I was googling/amazon-ing this DVD and the reviews are insane. The before and after picture are truly inspiring. Some people dropped around 15 pounds in one month. Jillian also has a meal plan but it's not very vegan...Sirloin steak anyone? I did some more research and basically she is working on a foundation of a low carb, high protien 1200-1300 cal daily diet. Already doing that.

So I'm going to pick up this DVD at Walmart today and give it a go... My neighbors are going to hate me.
Apparently this DVD destroys you and your ability to walk but I will also try to get some yoga mixed in throughout the month if I physically can. I will measure in and post some before photos tomorrow.

This has been a really great week for food. I've been very strict with my diet and following my meal plan. As I expected, Ohsheglows.com has proved to be an amazing resource.

Some highlights...

Spaghetti Squash Pasta with creamy avocado sauce.

Roasted Butternut Squash with Kale and Almond Pecan Parmesan. My extra protein was Gardein Chiptole Lime Chicken Strips (careful these are high in sodium & carbs...however they do have 21g of protien in 3 strips)
