The Shred/P90X/Etc.

Random post, but has anyone tried Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred? What about P90X, which has taken the infomercial world by storm?

I just ordered the Shred, and it should arrive Monday. Very excited to try it; I hear it’s a killer and I’ve never done a fitness DVD. I’m such a total gym rat, but think it’d be awesome to have the ability to work out from home every now and then.

And, I’ve heard soooo much hype about P90X and was kind of curious about it — it’s a 90 day program, an hour a day, and it’s supposed to be killer. I like the idea of muscle confusion; it sounds logical. And for such a creature of habit, it’d be a good mix-up for me. Some male friends have done it and they post alllllllllllllll about it on Facebook.

So I figured I’d ask if anyone has had first-hand experience with either of these programs? I still have some fitness reimbursement funds I can use, and am considering getting P90X.

Finally, a small request: if anyone’s on Facebook and wants to be my friend ;-) I need people to confirm my blog. All you have to do is click here. Thanks!!

UPDATE: I ordered P90X — it will be here in 5-7 days! Hope I like it. :)

Organization is Key

One of the positive sides to being a Type A person is that I genuinely thrive off organization. I function best when my daily life is in order.

I love being organized, love checking things off my to-do list at work or home. My husband is a list-maker, too. Between the two of us, we probably have a dozen Post-Its floating around our house right now.

When the house is freshly-clean, laundry is done and folded, clothes are ironed and put away … I feel accomplished. I think most people would agree; a clean house makes you feel ready to accomplish anything.

Weekends where we travel or aren’t home, I start the work-week with a jolt; I hate that feeling of scrambling to get things in order.

Food-wise, it’s always been particularly helpful to me to have meals prepared, from both a money and weight management perspective. I’ve just been sucking at it lately.

With my husband in business school, most weeknights I’m on my own for dinner. He needs food he can take with him, and I need stuff I can just heat up when I get home from the gym or whatnot. (more…)
