Have you ever said yes to something and then instantly realized the consequences of saying yes are bad, oh so very bad?
I was on twitter the other day and saw a tweet from my friend, Stesha. She mentioned that she was starting the 30 day shred on August 1st. Before I could even think about it, my fingers were flying over the keys as if they had a life of their own.
When next I looked at the screen, I saw my tweet: “Ok, I’m in!”
Instant regret and paralyzing fear.
And now it’s here, August 1st, Doomsday.
Today I meet Jillian and so begins….The Jillian Beat Down.
(Pssssst…I’m doing a guest blogger stint today at Keeping Up with the Schultz family. Check it out here.)
Jenni Jiggety says

Yaya says

Tina says

Vickie says

Queenie Jeannie says
That woman scares me, lol!!

JennyMac says

Farmers Wife says
Good luck with that!!!! I am starting my own nightmare umm journey tommorrow by rejoining the gym….
Erin says
I started this at the end of June…can I just say OMG, I seriously couldn't walk for like 2 days! But now I'm a pro, onto Shred2 already. I didn't lose the 20lbs in 30 days but I did lose some serious inches! Keep us posted!
Veronica Lee says
Cool! Love to see how it goes.
Best of Luck!!
shortmama says
Yikes! I have heard how tough this one is! I really want to try it but Im pretty sure I would be dead on the floor after 5 minutes.
Heather, aka Jake's Mommy says
Oh, we are totally anti-Jillian. I got to about day 3 of week 1 and quit. Yes, I'm a quitter. But, she's BRUTAL!! And, she made parts of me hurt that I didn't even know had feel-bads.
Kathy B! says
I LOVE Stesha… but…
May the Force be with you!
Jenners says
You fool! But I hear it really really works but is totally brutal. If you survive, perhaps I'll consider it.
Melissa says
I have done it for a couple days and the first day is brutal and you will be sore. I hope I lose a few pounds and inches
Lin says
Well, better you than me, I guess. Although I'm feeling tubby and out of shape these days and have been thinking of joining a gym or pool or something. Sigh. If only I didn't have to get wet in that darned pool.
Pricilla says
It is probably better than the Abby beat down…heh heh.
Good luck!
Kristin at My Art and the Mom in Me says
That just sounds scary… "shred" uurgh..shiver.
Mammatalk says
Brave soul. Much luck to you!
The Jacobsen Family! says
Yes, let us know how it goes… I may want to try that! =)
Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) says
Good luck with that…you're going to do great! 😉
Joy says
My heart seriously goes out to you.
Caitlin says
I'm thinking I might try this one. Tell me how much, on a scale of 1 to 10, you feel like killing yourself afterward. That will by my gauge. 🙂
conversationswithmoms says
Jillian is tough but I have no doubt you can do it. Good luck. Tell us about your journey along the way.
Sherrie says
Ummm yeah…good luck with that one. LOL! I ordered it, and I did it ONCE! I haven't done it since. Maybe I'll get motivated and pull it out again. Lord knows I need to do something…
Sera says
Jillian rocks my face off. I finally got to the point where I felt like I was no longer going to keel over and die on Level 1, so I've done Level 2 once, and I like it! Tough, but there's less jumping around, which I like. I split my workout loyalties between Jillian and her DVD's and the oh-so-sexy Gilad on Fit TV. Good LUCK! Can't wait to hear how you like it!
K says
Kick some booty!
Good luck.
LadyStyx says
Lord help ya. No way would you find me doing that. Besides, I lose 20 pounds in 30 days and it'd never stay off!
Kristina P. says
You go girl!
Krystyn says
Piece of cake, right?
I hear two days later is really when it hurts!
Cj @ Live Laugh Love says
You brave brave soul! Let us know how it goes… (think song) – "I will survive, I will survive"
Love ya 😉
Kendahl, Stepmom Extraordinaire says
I've been reading about this! You HAVE to update on how hard it is and how it goes.
Opus #6 says
That sounds tough, but possibly rewarding. Hey, great to see you again. I think I must have been following your old blog or something.
Heatherlyn says
Oh, I read a blog post a while ago where the blogger was talking about this workout. She says it is brutal; and she loved it. So I guess it is effective too. Have fun!
Kitten says
Better you than me to do this! Good luck! I know you'll do well!
Kristin says
Dude. It is a beat down like no other, but it works. FAST. I just need to get my lazy arse in gear and do it again.
Tami says
YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck!
!!The Obnoxious SAHM!! says
oh my goodness. Good LUCK BABY! she will throttle you. I am however relishing in my accomplishment of 11 lbs lost in a week 🙂
(yay for me) you can do it! You're a mom, you can do anything. 🙂
Kathie @ my net finds says
Don't be scared! Just do what you can, even if you can't make it through the entire workout the first day (I couldn't). Do what you can each day until you can do it all! That's how I did it and I still do the workouts even now after the 30 days were up! It works and I've lost weight 🙂 Good luck!
Linda @ My Trendy Tykes says
Um, yeah….
good luck with that!
hee hee
Polka Dot Moon says
I started doing it a couple of weeks ago, albeit not every day 🙂
It works and I have to say I love it!!
Good luck 🙂

Justine says
OMG, you turd! You're in for it now!!!!!! Can't wait to see if it sticks, and if it does, if it works! good luck!
Justine 😮 )
darsden says
lol quick go hide at Susan's kegger! They will never no you were missing!
Rebecca Jo says
Its only a 20 minute work out…. but it feels like its 20 minutes of HELL!! 🙂 Good luck.. you can do it!
Em says
LOL! Obviously I'm more a couch potato than I thought – when your title came up, I thought it was going to be a rant on "The Bachelorette."
Jillian (both really) scares me.
Good luck – You can do it!!
Michele says
I have the video and I have the weights I just don't have the motivation. Maybe doing it along side with you may help. Mind if I tag along?
Jaime says
i've been thinking about doing it myself… but i think i'll wait to hear how you guys make out with it
Kelly says
Good luck! Get buff!!
Mango Girl says
I am with you…good luck to us!
Mother Mayhem says
Running… Screaming…
mannequin says
Does this mean that YOU will popup under my window instead of Jillian?
Suzanne says
Cool! Let us know how it goes. I might give it a try myself:-)
Bee and Rose says
My sister loves this program! She says she has loads of energy and is sleeping better too!
LiLu says
I haven't taken the plunge, but I've heard only good things about the results..
(Only bad things about the pain…)
🙂
joannaonthelake says
You are brave, very brave! But, you can do it, just stay focused and don't give up, Jillian won't let ya! You go girl 🙂
