Rich Day 13

Today was the second day in a row that we didn't have to wake up early for the shred and I could really tell the difference this time. Paige woke up at 7:00 and I jumped out of bed to get her while Ali slept in. We had some friends over from the night before so Paige was interested in watching them sleep while I made breakfast for everyone. We were planning on doing the shred again today while Paige was napping and when the time came our friends were still at our house. So we decided to indoctrinate them into the 30 day shred for 1 day, to remind ourselves what we looked like on day 1 of the challenge.

I think the extra workout partners helped me and Ali both because we could see how much our bodies had changed in just 12 days. We were both motivating our new workout buddies and telling them how great they were going to feel after the workout was over. We were even counting down the exercises of each circuit for them so they wouldn't give up on the workout. It was so funny when they asked how long we had been working out because Ali and I felt the exact same way when we started the challenge. I don't think we realized how much better shape we were in until we saw our friends struggling half way through the workout. The best part is that they actually agreed to do the challenge with us tomorrow morning...when we're back on schedule for the 5:45 routine. When we started this challenge, we were only trying to get ourselves in shape. But if we can motivate other people to get in shape when they watch us then I think this whole blog experience has been worth it.
