Jillian Michaels, you are a mean, cruel woman! But if your workouts make me look you, then I guess I'll let you torture me for 28 more days.
Yesterday was Day #2 of our Making the Cut workout. At 6 am, I hadn't yet gotten a text from Megan telling me she was on her way, and a teeny, tiny part of me hoped that maybe she had overslept and wouldn't be coming over. But that hope was shot to pieces at 6:01 when I heard that familiar text ring tone beeping at me from my phone. So, I drug myself out of bed and went downstairs to wait for her.
The muscles Jillian had us focus on for Day 2 were hamstrings, biceps, and lower abdominal muscles. I will have to say, these muscles were not as difficult to work as the group from Day 1, which were triceps,shoulders, abs, and quads. I have very little upper body strength, so doing push-ups (boy push-ups because Jillian says if you can only do girl push-ups then you shouldn't even be doing this program! Meany!) is insanely difficult!
Day 2's workout was a little easier, so we finished in about 25 minutes. So far, today has been my favorite- Day #3 is a day off! Yay! It felt so good not to hear my phone alarm go off at 5:50 am. And since tomorrow is Saturday, we can sleep in and then work out at our leisure.
Last but not least, here is the dinner I fixed on Day #1:
Roasted Red Peppers stuffed with beef, polenta, feta cheese, oregano,and basil. Mmmm! They were delish!
Your dinner looks so delicious!! I'll have to try that. I don't have much experience with polenta, only used it take coat and cook chicken in once, which I ended up not really liking.
