Jillian Has Nothing on My Children

I didn't have a chance to get to the gym today, so after the kids finished dinner I decided to make my maiden voyage into Jillian Michaels' 30-Day Shred territory.

I did Level 1, which consists of three six-minute interval circuits, plus a warmup and cooldown. I was worried 20 minutes wouldn't be enough, but worry not, friends. It was enough. Two hours later, my legs feel like I really exercised. They're a little jelly-ish.

And through the whole thing, my boys kept correcting my form ("Bend deeper, Mom. Do you see how she's doing it?"). I tried to get them to join me, but they weren't interested. The toddler has impressive pushup form, though.

Food-wise, I ordered Indian and once again my band snapped shut after a single bite. I'm starting to find this suspicious - my band has been wide open for several days but Indian food doesn't seem to agree with me. I put the Indian away, and now I can't even get my artichoke down.

Which is kind of funny, since I was planning to post about how I think I need a fill but I have a lot of travel coming up and I'm afraid to do it because once you have one bad PB, it starts a cycle of inflammation that doesn't let anything through, so you end up vomiting liquids and get dehydrated and then need an unfill. (At least, that's my experience.) I really don't want to need an unfill when I'm not close to my surgeon. So I'm going to stick with what I've got and see how it goes.
