So I'm up to Day 10. For those of you good at maths you'll realise it has taken more than 10 days to get me to Day 10 - yeah. Sorry about that.
My initial plan was to do it five days a week for six weeks. Then last week happened and I had things on, people to see, places to go, a head cold and allergies that have left me with a burst capillary in my left eye. Noice.
So I'm up to Day 10. I've done six days of Level 1 and three days of Level 2. Some clothes are definitely feeling better - well, the skirt I live in which was getting tighter and tighter is not so tight. Still tight, but not to the point I have to undo it at the end of the day or after a meal.
So here's the drill.
I'm still not 100 per cent committed.
Doesn't that sound ridiculous.
But I'm not.
And you know why?
Because I'm scared of failing. I'm scared that if I lose this weight I'll put it all back on.
Like I have every other time I've lose a significant amount of weight.
And yes, I know how stupid, defeatist and ridiculous that is.
So - AGAIN - I'm sucking it up and keeping on going.
I'm up to Day 10 of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred.
I can now do proper push ups and touch the floor without bending my knees.
I am not weighing myself.
I'm going to take my measurements at the end of the week and see how different they are from ones I took last year.
And I'm working out a meal plan so we don't end up eating pasta five nights a week.
I find if I'm organised in terms of what I'm going to have for breakfast/lunch/dinner I stay on track much better than if I don't.
I'm also going to try and adhere to some of Jillian's advice:
Don’t eat anything that doesn’t come out of the ground or have a mother
I'm still going.

Keep going, keep going, keep going! We'll get there.
Hi Kim, I have been following your story for a while. You remind me of me.
What the hell is shred? Such a kick ass name, it has got to hurt, whatever it is.
Hello Jenny!
It is a DVD - Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred - 20 minute high impact workouts w/ three levels to work through.
They are absolute killers but a good way to really kickstart your fitness and strength.
That sounds like fun in a painful kind of way, I might look in the video shop. Trouble with doing it at home is I end up covered in children, like a mother scorpion. Still, if it's high impact i should be able to send them flying.
It's agony and I haven't done it for days due to my allergies being horrendous and having sick children. Yes, totally hear you on the child magnet thing - I can only do it when the youngest is in bed, he gets very worried when I'm doing it ... which is probably warranted. Home exercise is something I either have to do pre-dawn, during nap time or at night.
Yeah, me and spontaneity, like that.
