I think we both knew this letter would be coming. I did not keep up with your workouts. Two days under my belt, my husband left out of state for work. Between VBS and the lovely dramas there (among the parents, not the kids, isn't that always the case?) and ...

After hearing about Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred from tons of people, I decided to take the leap and order it. The DVD arrived just in time for a bad week. I'm teaching at VBS next week during my normal workout time.

In some ways, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger of two kids just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance. But, I'm also a career writer who has just returned to fulltime work in the software industry, I'm a wife going through a divorce after almost 20 years of marriage, and I'm discovering that life is full of surprises.
