Hell-o!
Oh my gosh you guys – I did it. I completed Level 1 and 2 of Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred right after another. It.was.intense!! I was dripping with sweat and my arms were complete mush by the end! There’s this one arm exercise at the end of level 2 – honestly, I’ve never even knew I had the muscle that it works. It hurt so good! 
A couple of you asked if I’ve tried any of Jillian’s other vids. The answer is no I haven’t, but after your recs, it may be worth an extra look!
I wasn’t too hungry for dinner tonight, as we feasted on pot roast, potatoes and homemade apple crisp (omg!) at my in-laws this afternoon. I really, really wanted to get some good quality veggies in today though, so I whipped up a Kitchen Sink Salad for supper! (do you say supper, or dinner??)
In the mix:
- Romaine lettuce
- Carrots
- Cucumber
- Broccoli
- Dried cranberries
- Peanuts
My dad gave me the idea to add chopped peanuts into a salad, and they were so good!! The kind of tasted sweet, almost? I reeeeally, really liked them in there!
Ahhh…goodbye bacon, hello veggies. 
What a GREAT salad!
Hello Thin Mints, too! I spy four little devils that are destined to be my dessert. I can’t wait!
Back to AFV – they just had a hilarious dancing montage. I love me a good montage, don’t you know!?
Happy Sunday!

How often do you eat salads?
Never! Ohh I wish your love of salads and veggies would rub off on me like your sweet-tooth recipes.
A) It’s dinner
B) Gorgeous salad
C) Since when do thin mints have holes in them?!
I never eat salads, haha. Too bad, but they don’t fill me up! Ooo I’m jealous of your thin mints. I was looking at an organic version at WF today but they were wicked pricey
That salad looked truly amazing!
I wish I ate salads more frequently – but my Mom often says it´s too little. That I need more carbs and protein ans stuff…
Oh, well. I love salads, anyway
And I usually say DINNER! Haha!
Have a great week, girl!
Brazilian XOXO´s,

Let me guess, Vflys w/ squats? That one is so tough for me either way! I love salads and today is the first day I’ve been able to eat one in over a week – loving it!
I try to eat salad at least once a week to get a good quantity of veggies. But thats only if I have the fixings.
I wish I ate more salads, I usually only eat one fruit or veggie at a time unless I’m out
I can’t believe you did level 1 and 2! You’re nuts! –but good job regardless. AND–I say dinner for the 3rd meal of the day everyday except Sunday. I think I’m an Iowa exception…because everyone I know says ‘supper’ –I think it’s our farm culture.
I eat a salad almost every day during the week for lunch. Love me some spinach!
And everyone is talking about the GS cookies and I have none.
Sad day, or week.
Wow girl I’m impressed… 2 shreds back to back.. yikes!!
LOVE big salads like that.. i’ll have to try the peanuts in one! I eat a salad pretty often, love them.
Sometimes dinner, sometimes supper. Around here, it’s usually called supper though.
Back when I was eating campus food 3 meals a day, I would have at least one big salad, usually two, per day! Now I try to limit it to a few times a week for variety’s sake!
I love adding chopped peanuts to salads, especially with a few oranges and baked tofu in the mix:)
I bet you are gonna be sore in the morning! But it’s definitely a good sore, right?! I call it dinner
I eat salads a lot! Had a big one for dinner tonight also! Loved the addition of peanuts, I will have to try that! Have a great night girl!
My favorite video of her’s is “No More Trouble Zones.” I hate it as the same time too, it is rough, but you feel so good after it is done. “Metabolism Boost,” I think it is called, is also good, but man it is also intense. I just know going in if I am going to do a Jillian workout I am going to be in pain
I ordered some thin mints from my friend and I can not wait to pick them up from her!!
I eat salads probably 5-6 times a week, usually for lunch. It’s so fast and easy.
YAYA for 2 Jillian levels! It really does kill you by the end
I love big salads – does big plates full of roasted veggies count!? Cos I have them ALL the time, it’s my favourite type of meal
30 day shred means business! I love it though
I always say dinner now, but growing up, we said supper. Not sure what made me change!
Mmm thin mints. I can’t wait to get my order of GSC!
Love Jillian’s Shred!
I eat salads twice a day – lunch & dinner. Love me some veggies!
I love the idea of peanuts on your salad! I have done almonds, walnuts & pecans, but never thought about peanuts! I am so trying that!
I LOVE the montages. There is one episode that was a countdown of the top 10 montages – that’s right – all montages. Hilarious.
I say dinner! And I usually have a salad almost every day in the summer and probably 3-4 times per week in the winter.
You did level 1 & 2 all at once???!!! You are crazy girl
I’m still on level 1 just upping my weights. Love Jillian!!
Wow – after Level 1 I’ve had enough – I can’t imagine doing Level 2 right after! Good for you!
I try to eat salads a few times a week … I like roasted veggies and usually have them. I always mean to make a salad for lunch at work, but never have time (I know, such a bad excuse!). I’ll have to have them more often!
