Like a Ray of Sunshine

Warning: I am in an unusually good mood right now.  This is especially odd since I waited 30 minutes for a bus this morning and got to work late.  However, I started reading The Secret and I am all about the positivity right now.  It doesn't hurt that I also worked out with Jilllian Michaels this morning.  No, surprisingly enough she wasn't at my house.  But, I do have Gaiam TV, which may I say is pretty awesome.  It's an online collection of workout videos, yoga, wellness movies, etc.  They have everything!  They also have a 10-Day trial offer which I recommend.  What do you have to lose?

So, this morning I tried Jillian's Extreme Shed and Shred video.  There are two levels and she recommends you do both together.  She, however, doesn't have to get two kids ready and off to school.  So, I did level 1 only.  It was a good workout with some fresh, varied exercises you don't see in some of her our recent videos (Ripped, Shred). I was using a 5 lb weight but I would definitely use an 8 lb. next time for some of the exercises.  And if I had more time, I would likely try to do both levels. (If I had a dollar for every time I said "if I had more time"...)

Work out complete

This morning I also tried a new cereal, Special K Multigrain Oats & Honey.  I usually eat the regular Special K with fruit.  This was much more flavorful.  Sometimes I fear the cereals with "extra flavors" because they tend to taste artificial and too sweet, but this actually had oats and honey.  Two thumbs up. :)

With that, I am off.  I hope you have a fabulous day.

My nephew is having one! :)

Ever tried Gaiam TV?  What's your favorite Jillian workout?  Favorite cereal?
