Shred

I have shredded 1.8 pounds this week. I started doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD and would recommend it for those of you who are looking for a whole body, high intensity workout that is done with in 20 minutes. I highly advise, not to attempt quad stretches in the shower as you will most definitely fall flat on your naked ass like I did and sport a purple welt on the right cheek.

I am "ickified" by eating meat this week. I periodically go through these phases. It happened at age 10 on Thanksgiving when my mother was preparing the turkey. I cried my eyes out and protested eating it that one year. Now, it's just listening to my body more than the animal lover motivation (all though I almost cried about the pig slaughter in Egypt last week too). So, this week I'm trying out a semi-vegetarian lifestyle. Do not call me a hypocrite if you see me downing a hot dog at a summer BBQ, I'm just making an effort to cut back on eating animal flesh. If anyone has great meat-free recipes that they love, please share.
