it's ok.

42 days later i have completed  Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred

30 days... it took me 42 days 

BUT 

it's ok. 

i got some nasty ankle tendonitis and rested for a week right in the middle

it's ok. 

i didn't lose the "20 pounds in 30 days"

BUT 

it's ok. 

i am NOT back to my pre-baby weight

BUT 

it's ok.

i cheated on more than just my cheat days

BUT 

it's ok.

BECAUSE for 30 days {technically 35days} 

i sweated my rear off.

i worked out early in the morning, during naptime, or after eveyone else was in bed. 

i did something for myself. 

i ate better than i had in months. 

i gained muscle and strength and some self-respect.

after 42 days i can say: 

I DID IT. 

 with my 3 month old watching me, 

with my 2 year old mimicking my huffing and puffing, 

before or after just nursing, 

after a busy day, 

before a full day, 

in the midst of the long days, 

I DID IT. 

{and i'm pretty proud}

next goal- get back into running shape

here we go!
