I completed the program. It was 90 days and it flew by, and this is what I have to show for it.
Final Workout: Cardio 3
As soon as I could this morning, I ran down to the basement to have my way with Cardio 3... for the last time. I used weights at the beginning and dropped them when we started the plank moguls. I didn't pick them up again because this workout is enough on its own for me, no added weights needed. At the end of the first circuit the thought crossed my mind that I really didn't need to finish, what could 20 more minutes of this actually do for me? But the thing is, this entire program from start to finish is made up of these 30 minute moments, which collectively gave me the results you see below. Sure it sounds small, but the results are huge. So stay with it. Do your day right, from start to finish. And FINISH STRONG!
With this program, I lost 20.5 pounds, and a total of 33 inches off of my body. I went from a dress size 14 to 8. And might I add, I FEEL GREAT!

Altogether I am wowed by the process. While I was trying to follow Jillian's meal plan at the beginning, by the end and pretty much for all of Phase 3, I was following my own meal plan and trying to stick with 3 meals and one afternoon snack each day. I try to buy organic when I can, and I definitely try to buy foods that have no preservatives or artificial ingredients. This is good not only for me, but for my kids. I believe that eating as naturally as possible gives kids the best possible chance for focus and development.
So this is the end of my BR journey, but join me as I start my next - Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred for the month of June!
Keep on keeping on, and finish strong!
