Shred or not to shred?

I think I'm going to try Jillian's 30 day Shred. I see it every time I check out the fitness section at Walmart and Target and I've come across it on so many blogs. I've always been intimidated by Jillian Michaels. I feel like her workouts are only for people who are already fit and just want to tone. But I recently read a blog where this girl posted her results and before and after pictures and wow. I want to do it...now. So, if I can stick with it the whole time, I will dedicate an entire post to talking about it, the before and after pics and how I was about to die, haha.

Last night, the Hunger Games was released and sadly, I was not there to see it. I recently read the entire trilogy because I can't watch a movie without knowing what happens next, so I am super excited to see it. My mom is out of town so I don't have a babysitter. My sister offered but forgot and now claims she has to "study". So maybe next week, I will just get a babysitter and go see it by myself. :) #TeamPeeta

Today, while everyone was at school or work, I cleaned the whole house. From top to bottom. I kept Liam distracted with the new Disney Junior channel which I L-O-V-E. And while I was sweeping the stairs, (our house is a split level and all the main rooms are on the top floor) Liam was watching me from the top of the stairs, which is gated. Well, the railing for our stairs have wide openings but Liam's head is too big to fit. He proved us wrong. I hear him start to panic and look up and his head is through the railing and he's pulling and pulling. So, I run up the stairs, seriously thinking, "better grab the butter", and I notice it's just his ear is bent forward and that's why he couldn't pull it out, so I bent his ear back and his head slipped out just like that. And then he hugged me and laid his head on my shoulder as if thanking me. Sweetest boy ever!

I seriously hate being stuck at the house with no car. Even if I don't go anywhere, I still like to have that option. :) So, I've just been cleaning, playing with Liam, cooking, and did I mention cleaning? Ha, today while I was vacuuming, I noticed a stain on the carpet, so I just grabbed some soap and water and scrubbed the stain away and soon noticed that the spot where I cleaned is cleaner than the rest of the carpet. Ha!

I've been trying to walk/jog a lot lately.

 I recently lost about 11 pounds after Christmas but I've been slacking and pigging out. And I gained like 3 pounds back! Ahhh! This can't happen! I really want to be at least 30 pounds lighter by Dragon*Con in September. But this is definitely the hardest thing I've ever done. I just can't lose faith. I have a lot of people counting on me. So please help me stay motivated, my imaginary followers! ;)
