    Level 2 Day 2 done :) My glutes are still feeling the burn but enjoying this level more than level 1. Maybe because I've started 30DS so often that Level 1 I can do without watching the dvd :laugh:

    Level 2 day 15 is done!! Yup, I hurt my shoulder and decided to repeat Level 2 for another 5 days, 2 days without weights and 3 with wieghts since I felt better. I will take the weekend off as usual and start Level 3 on MONDAY!! Can't wait to finish and hopefully start Ripped in 30. :bigsmile: Keep up the great work everyone. Two more weeks for me!!!

    Level 2 day 3 done for me as well :) Seem to be getting the hang of it now, I can feel it in my muscles more than level 1 but it's a good feeling :happy:

    I've decided you really don't need the video for Level 2...just get into a plank position and stay there until you feel like you are going to die! :laugh:

    But seriously, Jillian, in circuit 3, what sort of evil devil possessed you to think that right after doing presses and v-flies, when my shoulders are ready to fall off, that it was a good idea to then do cardio in a plank position. And if that wasn't cruel enough, then do abs in a plank position?? :grumble:

    On a dreary Sunday afternoon I decided to force myself to do some exercise. I couldn't actually face looking at Jillian's face on a weekend but I went for a brisk walk and did most of the exercises from level 1 when I got in without the video. Working out to the Rocky themetune certainly beats the awful music on 30DS. Press ups still turn my arms to jelly.

    I can't even contemplate a plank at the moment but kudos to those who are planking all over the show.

    :laugh: This made me laugh so hard this morning. I tried L3 yesterday myself and was saying WTF Jullian? Myself. I have been doing L1 & 2 back to back on a regular basis, but LV3 Sheash! ! My shoulders and arms are just not ready for it. Thank you for the laugh , and knowing I am not the only one shocked at L3.:flowerforyou:

    I still hate it, but it's not as hard as it was 4 days ago :drinker:
  • Day 4 level 2 done! Took a few days off, knees weren't feeling to well. I'm back now and ready to complete the 30ds. Everyone is doing great!!! :-)

    Level 3 day 1 complete! I thought I was going to die when she had us in plea and had us jump up in that position! :noway: The lunge jumps were a little difficult for my knees too. I love the walking push ups, no modification needed here. :bigsmile: Hope to get stronger everyday and looking forward to the end!!:drinker:

    Level 2 day 6 done! Over that halfway hump! Feels good to get the workout in before work...

    Frustrated as I've managed to put on 1.5 lbs in the last week! I've upped my calories and my reps on crunches, squats and planks so that probably is why but still feeling a bit demoralised right now :ohwell: Gonna keep going though!!

    As much as I hate to admit it, I get just as excited as the next gal when the numbers on my scale head down...so I am preaching to myself as well when I tell you all:

    IGNORE THAT STUPID SCALE! What does it know about the wonderful, healthy things you are doing for your body???

    Can the scale measure how much fat you are losing?? NO!

    Does it see the muscles you are building?? NO!

    Can the scale tell that you are getting stronger? NO!

    Does it indicate the improvement to your cardiovascular health? NO!

    Can it measure inches lost? NO!

    Does the scale know how accomplished you feel when you finish a badass workout? NO!

    All the scale can do is tell you the effect of gravity on your body. What does that tell you? NOTHING!

    Ugh you're so right!!! Thanks for the butt kicking, I needed that! I especially like the gravity bit - never thought of it that way :happy: Going to do some yoga tonight and get some perspective :)

    I have definitely lost more inches than pounds doing this workout. Started measuring a few weeks ago as the scale wasn't always that encouraging. Only 1 more pound to go until I've lost a stone. (I didn't lose a stone in just the last couple of weeks obv, I had been using MFP for 2.5 months before I started 30DS.) Hopefully Jillian can make me star jump that pound of fat off..

    I actually way prefer Mr Motivator but hardly any of his workouts are on youtube. That man is a 90's god.

    Sorry guys i've been really sucking this past week.

    Just started working again and have been super busy with that and trying to develop a routine.

    I'm doing it tonight though and will post back when done! Now I have to do it because I told you guys I would :) you are all doing so great and I probably would've quit by now if I didn't have your posts to read for motivation! Thank you !

    Doing level 2 day 7 later today :noway:
    I can't believe level 2 is almost over. On a side note, I'm currently wearing a pair of jeans that didn't really fit a month ago (before MFP and Jillian). I don't really know if it means anything because I have major difficulties in judging my physical apppearance and I am also reaaaally scared of the scale (:embarassed:), but it feels good.

    you're getting it done now, that's what matters! Maybe early morning, before work, etc... would be good for you. I have 3 kids and I workout at 5:45AM, take a shower, wake the kids to get ready, get my 2.5 yr old dressed and ready for drop-offs. start work at 8:30 am and I am feeling good. I am getting lazy now that it's colder in the morning but I do it!! :yawn: :drinker: No time to workout when I get home(practices, dinner, homework, showers). Morning is ME TIME!!!!:heart::heart:

    LEVEL 3 DAY 3 done!!! Feeling buff today :bigsmile: My biceps are hard like a rock! Can't wait to see them more defined!!

    Keep up the great work everyone!!!
