well, this morning i started a new workout routine. over the weekend, i bought jillian michaels' 30 day shred. i figured out that i get bored with the same routine over and over. those runs were getting brutal and boring.
it is 30 straight days of 20 min. workouts a day. sure. it doesnt sound too tough, right? WRONG. those 20 min. kicked my butt. i sweat just as much as my 45 min. runs (jogs are more accurate). as i took my shower, i could barely pick up the shampoo bottle. my arms were shaking because i was using muscles i havent used in a long time, but i liked it. the killer is that i have to get up at the but crack of dawn to do them. that stinks, but i am very motivated and curious to see what my body will look like after 30 days with jillian as my trainer. i will keep everyone posted.
on to other news...today was jj's first day of first grade!!! yay!!!! he was staying all day, no more half days. he got to eat lunch at school today and he informed me when i picked him up that he gets two recesses. he had a lot of friends in his class. not too many from the previous year's class, but he knew them all from the playground. i think he will do well. i can already see a difference in his demeanor when i pick him up. he is much more calm then before and i am able to get some info out of him and talk to him while he is sitting still. amazing.
here are some pics of his first day. i loaded them backwards so you might want to look at them from bottom to top. or not.
wearing the black shirt. avoiding me as much as possible.
sitting at his desk. i am sure it will be moved around depending on his behavior.
at the front door, ready to go. look at how big he is getting!!!

He is getting to be such a little man! So cute! Very cool about the workout thing, keep me posted. If you like it after the 30 days then I will give it a try...the track is getting quite boring...and my knees are starting to hurt :(
