<p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Dear Friends,
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm in pain.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">A constant state of pain since Day One.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But only in my calves. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">The other body parts which were hurting as I did the 30 Day Shred DVD this morning are no longer hurting.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Kinda worried about that since everyone else is complaining about pain where I am not hurting.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Am I doing this workout right?!?!?!
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I still haven't figured out how to keep my Princess Leia styled hair intact as I work out.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">So around the time we are asked to "punch it out" one bun unravels and my hair is now on my shoulder annoying me.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">It's lovely actually.  To be annoyed and not be able to stop.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But besides that I'm trudging along with Jillian Michaels.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Wondering why they bothered to put a water cooler and a set of lockers on the Exercise TV set.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm starring at Anita in disbelief that she had 3 kids and has those abs.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">(Is there hope for me? A fellow mom of three? Probably not. She does other things besides the DVD I'm sure. I will NOT be. lol)
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And I spend my workout time in between breathing wondering "how many tattoos does Jillian Michaels have?"
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">So <a href="http://www.motherhooduncensored.net/shred/">Kristen</a> asked for pictures to see how we are doing. Ha!
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">OK, I took a few pictures to <span style="text-decoration:line-through">make her happy</span> show I can participate.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Used my iPhone to take the pictures. Which explains the "live from inside a cave" lighting.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Here are my old sneakers I'm wearing as I shred.  
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm showing a little sock in this one. Pretty sexy huh.
</span></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.veepveep.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/030609-1756-day5ouchre1.jpg" alt=""/><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">
		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">My grandmother thinks these sneakers look huge. She's right. They are only size 9.5  Geez.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And this is the yoga mat where some of the <span style="text-decoration:line-through">magic</span> pain happens. 
</span></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.veepveep.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/030609-1756-day5ouchre2.jpg" alt=""/><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">
		</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Like the sky blue 3lb dumbbells? I do too. They're cute.  
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">That's about all there is cute to see on Day 5.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I think I let out a tiny scream today. Followed by a groan and whimper or seven.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Only 25 more days to go.  Thinking I'll switch to Level 2 on Wednesday.</span></p>
