This is day two for me. Getting ready to work out this evening after work!
My diet today has been water-based protein drinks with flaxseed and turmeric mixed in.
Also had 1 cup of milk.
Nearly 1 quart of water, but my goal is to get a gallon in a day. So three more to go in that aspect.
Woofta!
What did you do today?0 -
Worked out, ate, and rested. lol I'm pooped! Are you not gonna anything solid??0
-
Did day 1 today after doing a 5 1/2 mile hike, pretty burned out. Looking forward to these next 30 days!0
-
I'll eat solids, just not a lot of them.

I'm not an expert, but here's my thoughts: 1200 definitely works for losing weight, but I learned during the 3 years I've been on MFP, 1200 is EXTREMELY strenuous. I don't know your starting weight or goal weight and height, but unless you're pretty small from the get-go and don't require a lot of food to keep going, 1200 might be too low to function without headaches, and later starvation sensations. I recommend upping the calories even just a little. If you're looking to lose weight fast, essentially this is the way to do it, but the body won't like it. Depending on your activity level, of course. I've got mine up to around 1700 for now. Anything lower, I get headaches constantly regardless of how much water I drink.0 -
I just did my first day. Couldn't do everything (I'm REALLY out of shape), but according to my HRM, I burned 258 calories.0
-
I've done the 30 Day Shred twice. (not in a row) the 2nd time around I was able to do all the advanced moves. Right now, I'm back to where I was where I can barely do real push-ups. That's what I hate about strength training. Unless you do it constantly, you don't stay strong. I let my strength go soft again. >_< But at least I know I can do it again.0
-
I try and stay at 1200 net calories, meaning that I eat back the calories I exercise (at least most of them). I find that to be a manageable solution. If I try for 1200 total, I find it unsustainable with any level of strenuous exercise.0
-
I never want to get soft again!!! I hate being weak. (6 months in bed will do that....)0

Starting Day 1 today. This will be my second time through this year and I'm going to try to do what I can with 10 lb weights.0

That's pretty badass! But, eesh. I know if I upped my weights past 5, I'd be about done half-way through! I'm not strong like I used to be. lol I'm using 3 to be safe.

Better woman than I! Mine are 2lb 12oz. :P

Aww man I remember when I'd use up to 6 pounders!! lol I hope to get that strong again.0

I've done Level 1 with 10 lb weights before, I don't know how well that will go in level 2, though. Those squat/v-fly things get me every time. I have my 5-lb weights ready just in case 0 -
Aaaaaand I injured my hinky shoulder slightly. (This is what happens when you have a muscular disease.) I THINK it was on the lunges with weights--it isn't that it's heavy, it's that my joints are crap. Will have to regroup tomorrow. Took prescription NSAIDs and will force the hubs to give me a shoulder/back massage there.0

Aww, you poor thing. I'm sorry. I also have to take prescription-strength ibuprofen when the pain gets pretty intense. Make sure to get rest too. I don't have distinct injuries, but I can understand. The one thing I suffer from that makes it hard to do plank moves, etc. is my carpal tunnel on my right wrist. OMG it kills when it's acting up.

I threw ibuprofen and oxy on top of it. It seems to be way better now. It's something that will never REALLY get better--need to modify some things. Surgery's really risky for me!0

Late starter... just finished Day 1. Man I forgot how tough this workout is at the beginning. My legs are already sore from workouts over the last 3 days so even just the jump rope was a struggle.0

Been there, hun. You'll defiinitly need to recover tomorrow. Slow walking if you can, hot bath, and drink plenty of water. You'll be much better later this week.

Shoulders were still trashed so I skipped a day. Probably up for it today--we'll see! 0

Using 3lb weights here. I have 5s, but wouldn't make it through the last half of the side-lunges with shoulder raise if I sized up.0

Why not use both? Use the 5lbs for the exercises you can and then switch to the 3 lbs for the ones that aren't quite as strong yet. That's kind of what I've started doing. Only I'm dropping down to like 2 lbs, because I have 5 or 25 lb dumbbells and some weighted gloves; I'm grabbing the weighted gloves off the floor for that particular strength exercise.0 -
^^ same here. I use the 3 lb for most of workout, but use the 5 lbs for the chest flies. Probably going to start using the 5's for the bicep curls next time, see how that goes.0
-
Me too! I use 5lb for chest Ys on level 1, and 3s for everything else for now. I eventually got strong enough to use 5lbs for almost everything. When I did No More Trouble Zones after, I used 6 pounders! You do get stronger with time. It feels great, even if it's just a pound more! A pound is heavy when you're doing static squats and lunges!0
-
That's a great idea. I may just have to try that out today and see how I feel.

I use just 3# because of my shoulders. It TICKS ME OFF, but being mad won't make me not injured! LOL!0
