<p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm not a fan of shopping for clothing for myself.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I no longer fit half the clothing in my closet.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Because ever since Harrison was born; I've had these hips that won't go away.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I want them to go play houseguest with Jennifer Lopez and leave me alone.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">There is also the topic of the pesky "last few" baby weight pounds I still haven't lost. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And I can no longer blame pregnancy when my son will be turning two in May!  
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I haven't dieted one bit since having him so what did I expect?! In addition to me <span style="text-decoration:line-through">never</span> rarely passing up dessert.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">So I've joined a group of moms on Twitter called <a href="http://www.twitter.com/shredheads">Shredheads</a> who have decided to try the 30 Day Shred workout DVD by Jillian Michaels.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I haven't bought the 30 Day Shred DVD because Exercise TV On Demand has Level 1 and Level 2 for free right now.  
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">(Honestly though, I highly doubt I'll be anywhere near the other levels.)
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">For the next 30 Days, I will be <span style="text-decoration:line-through">crying</span> trying to get myself back into shape or as Jillian Michaels says <em>Shredded</em>.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I watched some of Level 1 last night. Cringed at the 29 minutes of craziness I will be trying today. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But I know I need to at least try.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">You can follow my progress on Twitter.  Follow me <a href="http://www.twitter.com/veepveep">@veepveep</a>

</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">                                                                                      BEFORE PHOTO  (coming soon, maybe…)
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Code Name:</strong>      Victoria
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Tag Line: </strong>    Hips Don't Lie
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Weight:</strong>      137lbs  (ironically stepped on a scale called "Thinner" to find this out.)
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Goal:</strong>         To get back to the pre-pregnancy weight I was before baby #3.  I don't need to lose the 20lbs promised if you stick with the workout. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Diet Plan:</strong>     Healthy choices.  Gave up restaurant take-out and delivery for Lent which will definitely help.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Rules:</strong>         Only drinking water and hot tea. Still have work events and work dinners to attend so I'll try to be good about the wine and dessert when not at home.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><strong>Shred Plan:     </strong>Level one, 5lb hand weights. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:Georgia">P.S. I'm asking all of you reading this to be my Richard Simmons support system. If it looks like I've given up, call and motivate or yell at me. </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><span style="font-family:Georgia"> Thanks.</span></span></p>
