Hi all-

I have decided to do Jilian Michaels 30 Day Shred every day until Thanksgiving. The workout is 20 minutes but you definitely sweat and get a burn (evidenced by soreness the following day). The program is 3 levels for 10 days each. We have about 33 days until Thanksgiving so if you need a day between levels feel free.

Join me on this program and feel stronger by Thanksgiving and the rest of the "food holidays".

I will be coming back to this post to do daily check-ins. Feel free to do the same.

Don't have the DVD? It's on YouTube!!! No excuses!

I did level 1 day 1 (L1D1) yesterday. I will check back later. Would love some company!

Samantha

Start weight: 175lbs

    I'm going to be doing the 21 day fix eating plan until I am cleared to exercise again because i had surgery.

    Once I am cleared to exercise again I will be starting a new round of the 21 day fix! :)

    For right now I am doing my stationary bike everyday and walking my dog everyday until I can start the 21 day fix up again! :)

    Kid's trick or treat was today. Ate more candy today than I have all year.... Argh. Got kids home and bathed and asleep which is a miracle since they are 18months and 3months and never sleep at the same time. All I wanted to do was take a hot shower and go to bed as well.

    Instead....

    Level 1 Day 2 complete.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Hi All!

    Welcome aboard the 30DS to Thanksgiving journey. It's going to be FUN! (haha no actually it is going to be hard but I can guarantee that if you do 30 days of working out you will feel like an accomplished person by Thanksgiving :smile:

    A little about why I am doing this:

    I have started workout routines so many times and quit after so little effort. I don't want Thanksgiving to roll around and me be like "WTF! Why didn't I just do the work outs?! I would feel so much better about myself if I had." I am just going to do them, even if I don't put 100% into each one. So keep me accountable ladies/gents (do we have any gents on this thread?)

    Why I need this:
    I have had 2 kids back to back and basically did no exercise for the last 2 years. Just started up in August so I am not in shape at all....but I aspire to be.

    Am I sore yet?
    I have only done 2 days so far (started on Saturday) and yes I am sore. My thighs are tender but I like being sore (within reason) because it is proof that it is working!

    How is everyone else? Sore? Why are you doing this?

    This photo is a snapshot of what I face everyday at work. It's always someone's birthday, first day, work anniversary, retirement, or sometimes just because. This was today's smorgasbord.

    Went to gym after work - realized I forgot a clean shirt for after shower and forgot swimsuit to relax in spa after workout. Damnit!

    Still did it though.... Level 1 Day 3 complete!
