This post is a wee bit late, but better late than never!! I have FINISHED THE SHRED!!! Yup, Done, Complete, All gone!!! And i'm feeling amazing!!! I don't feel like my body shape changed much in the last half, but i feel stronger, and my endurance is hugely improved! (Towards the end i was only sweating buckets instead of pools!!)

So these are my final Shred photos!!
And just cause i love doing the before and after pics.....
Id like very much to express how i feel about being given back my health/strength/enthusiasm and motivation but i just don't know that there are words that fit the job description!!
Lal, you have changed my life!! Sure you've helped me lose weight but that was just the bottom of the list. Even better than that, you've taught me whats more important, a healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy soul!! You've taught me the importance of positive changes for myself as a whole, you've taught me to explore new things ('Broadbeaned' my horizons as it were....hehe, bean pun!!). You've given me confidence in myself, and in what my body can handle, and you've shown me that even when i reach my limits, i can still push it a little further!!
You and Sally have both motivated me, kept me enthusiastic, and kept me trying hard (i can be a wee bit competitive too!) Exercising alongside ya's has kept me strong, and i'm so thankful for your friendships!!(....is this starting to sound a bit like an Grammy's speech?? "so as i accept my award.....")
Lal, Your just one truly gifted woman of God!! I still have no words to express how i actually feel, but i want to say that God has blessed you with some amazing talents and you use them Awesomely!! It has been a privilege being your 'Jilli-Lal' guinea-pig and i am sooo looking forward to your boot camp (*Cough, be nice, *cough)
Right, id like to add down the bottom here that i haven't yet reached my goal, and will still be trailing after my 'Jilli-Lal' soaking up more little bits of wisdom on my fitness journey, and gearing up for runs, and (shameless and totally worth it advertising) i'l be following the workouts and recipe's and articles on your website as often as i can!!
So.....Bring on 'Ripped in 30'!!!
Toodles!! :)
