When I was younger I read somewhere that Gymnast's retired at the age of 19 or somewhere very near because their bodies would never be in such good shape again. Apparently age 19 is your prime. So I always though that at 19 I would be my ideal weight, shape, size etc...
Well I got to 18 and I still had some minor issues, "I've got another year 'til I'm 19 no biggy".
Then I got to 19 and thought "I've got a year to sort it before I'm 20".
Now I'm 20 and I'm like "what was I playing at putting it off?"...
Getting fit and healthy and being body confident isn't that far away if I really want it badly enough. I don't have that much weight that I want to shift, it's more toning up that I'm after. So after seeing Glee! Live in Concert @ The Staples centre in LA (which was uh-maziiiing by the way!), and seeing in the flesh Heather Morris's amazing body, when I saw her on the cover of Women's Health I didn't hesitate to pick up the issue to see how I could achieve a body like hers...
When I looked down at the checkout however I noticed a huge contradiction in my purchases- back went the M&M's and Peach Jelly's. When we got to my cousin's house I went straight to my laptop and clicked onto Amazon.co.uk. Within 5 minutes I'd ordered Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. The DVD was only £5.93, a total bargain if you ask me.
I did Day One of the shred yesterday, (as well as the start of my healthy eating) and it was incredible. Don't get me wrong it was challenging and sweat inducing but I wanted to carry on exercising after it was over!
I'm basically writing this post so that I can't back out of this 30 day challenge now. Corrie & Michelle are both doing it and they're already seeing results! (If you have any questions, I'm sure they'd be happy to answer them, they're further along than me!)
I'm also keeping a food diary, which is including my water intake. I've realised I don't drink half as much as I should a day so I've bought two 1litre bottles of Buxton water, and fill them each night and put them in the fridge.
This post is really random and I apologise! If you're doing or have done the 30 day shred, let me know what you think of it and if you've seen any results so far! XOXO AVS

I'm the exact same as you always thought because we were young we could eat mountains of junk food and not see it have an effect on us. I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy the shred :) anyways hope you're okay + thanks for the link :) x

Welcome back Avs. From your earlier posts i can tell you had a great time. I, on the other hand, have been drowning in uni work.
I've done the 30 day shred a few times but it's not much good for me as i have a bad knee :(
