Ode to Shred

For 30 days you’ve kicked my butt
Intention being…to get out of my rut!

I began Day 1 with fear and dread
With good reason, I thought…the next day from my bed.

My muscles were tired, achy and sore
But with my Shred team behind me, I had to try more!

Day 2 was hard also…I’m not gonna lie
Please! Enough already! I can’t do one more fly!

Jill, it was rough…getting to know you week one
You weren’t all that nice. You weren’t really fun!

But we kept going, together we knew we would win
I’m among champions here - Veronica, Mette and Kim!

Day 8, week 2…hmmmm not SO bad
I’m feelin’ ya Jill…you don’t seem quite so mad.

3 weeks in, we were sailing…We’re doing this thing!
Jill, we’re increasing our weights! What else can you bring?

The last days were sad. Did I say that out loud?
I would miss my Team Shred…they’ve become my best crowd.

Jillian, I know I will see you again
My trouble zones need you…they’re greatful. Amen!

To my team, I solute you…the finish is sweet.
Cynthia, Andie and Amy…no greater gals will you meet!

I cannot end without mentions of these…
Ali and Lori, you ARE the bees knees!

The challenge is over, and so it would seem
But wait! There’s another…
Join the Holiday Team!

P.S. No intention to hurt feelings if your name was not mentioned…I love you all!
