I forgot to set my alarm this morning. It could have been bad, but instead I woke up only 10 minutes later than scheduled, and because I woke up naturally, I felt great! I got up and did 30-day Shred, Level 1.
Review: so far I am loving these workouts. Jillian Michaels does a fantastic job with motivation and there is enough variety to keep me from getting bored. It’s structured as a circuit workout – 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. Repeat 3 times, plus a short warmup and cooldown. Within each of those intervals are 2 different exercises. If anyone is interested, I can write out exactly what her routine is. Just let me know!
Breakfast:
- 1 large nectarine, chopped
- 1 cup cheerios
- Dannon 0% Plus yogurt (blueberry)
Morning snack: (hungrier than usual due to 30-day Shred? Probably…)
- 1 huge, delicious nectarine (no pic, sorry! there’s another picture of a nectarine below…)
After the nectarine, I wasn’t that hungry when noon rolled around – so I took my hour-long walk before lunch. It was nice and relaxing.
Lunch:
- salad (almost the same as yesterday) – iceberg, sauteed zucchini and onion, vegan bacon bits, topped with homemade honey-mustard (honey, yellow mustard, Fage 0%)
- WW wrap with turkey, a few chunks of nectarine, and cilantro chutney
I was really full. Until 3 o’clock rolled around…
Snack:
- 1 gala apple (no pic; see below if you want to see another apple
) - trail mix Kashi bar
I had my second nutrition class tonight. It was great; I’m learning so much and I love what I’m learning. I can’t remember ever feeling this way about a class before.
Dinner:
- okra squash shrimp gumbo (I had about 2.5 times what is pictured – it was too good) – I’ll try to get the recipe up tomorrow!
- salad – lettuce, sauteed zucchini and onions, bacon bits, and honey mustard dressing (seconds on this too)
Dessert:
- nectarine
- 1 apple with cilantro chutney (chutney unpictured – it was a last spur-of-the-moment idea)
Edited – snack:
- some apple crisps
- 2.5 la tortilla factory WW wraps – didn’t really realize how many I’d eaten… they only have 80 calories apiece though, and tons of fiber.

I love the nectarine pieces in the wrap. Great idea!
That’s a really pretty picture of cereal, haha!
I want to try the shred out, but I dont think I have a good space to do it in my apt…hmm, may have to wait til I move next year! I don’t think I’ve ever put nectarine in my wraps before!? What a great idea…sounds really good
ooh. the WW wrap w/ turkey, a few chunks of nectarine, and cilantro chutney looks delicious!
did you make the cilantro chutney or buy it?? the wrap looks wonderful!
i totally know what you mean about those la tortilla factory wraps– they’re sooo good though and very low in calories.
hope you have a great night!
I’m really interested in finding out moves jillian uses in shred! sounds interesting. la tortilla factory tortillas rock! i love them. don’t love the price tho.
