L1D8 done....seems my day off work today has sucked the life out of me. I have no energy tonight. But I did try about 10 minutes of Bob's BL Yoga video. It wasnt bad I just am exhausted tonight. Here's to hoping being back in my weekly routine tomorrow will inspire me and give me energy to get thru the last 2 days of Level 1, I think I am going to need it for level 2. Night all!

It's completely normal! We all went through that the first 3-4 days then the soreness subsides. Keep at it! Your body is changing!!

I did L1D8 yesterday afternoon. I got sent home from work due to weather- oh darn! Today is my normal weigh in day and I gained a pound. Boo to that. I guess I'll have to add more cardio throughout the week. I have an out of town wedding this weekend so I'm really nervous about getting my workouts in.
Has anyone else traveled and brought the dvd with them?

L1 Day 7 completed last night. I'm noticing sooo much of a difference in my endurance! Each day I can do more and more of the workout. I've already lost inches everywhre, and 4 pounds! I did skip a couple days, because I should be on day 9, but I'm gonna try and do it every day for the rest of the time. So glad I pushed through the pain in the beginning. I'm contemplating going on to level 2 in a couple days. We'll see!!

L1D6 done. I was sick over the weekend and was tempted to just throw in the towel, but I'm going to stick with it.

L1D9- I felt awesome today! I finished the whole thing- no breaks. (still modified pushups though) I'm a little nervous to move up to level 2. Have a great day everyone!

mnheather

I will do my L1D9 when I get home from work. I still have a horrible pain in my lower tummy when I am doing the bicycle crunches. Not sure what that is all about, but I will get through that. I am very unsure about moving on to L2.

Not feeling very well today....but still stuck to the plan, and did my Level 1 for today!

FEEL LIKE A WINNER... let's keep at it!

Val_Gets_Fit

Awesome work, everybody!! L1 Day 9 complete! Tomorrow is my last day of Level 1. Very excited and scared at the same time for Level 2 on Thursday. Feeling really good right now, but I know JM is going to kill my muscles again starting Thursday.

Have a great night, "Shredheads!" :laugh:

L1D9 completed. The only reason I am looking forward to L2 is to get away from listening to Jillian and her stupid sayings. If I have to hear, "Don't phone it in", I am going to punch her. What the heck does that even mean? Hopefully she has a different irritating phrase in the next level. :laugh:

L1Day9 finished I had a bad cramp in my left calf today, which I noticed after the first warm up of jumping jacks. I had to stop and massage it out and then all was bit better..tender but better Wow, level 1 is almost over and I was just getting used to it! lol BeckyJill, I'm in the same boat as you, still only doing modified pushups, but everything else I'm able to do. I've really improved in the cardio and I'm super happy about this

I know!! I saw on another thread that it's possible to mute her and just listen to the music. I haven't tried that yet. The music actually annoys me a bit more than her. Am I the only one who hears what sounds like a groaning woman in the music? My husband thought I was making weird noises during the workout when he passed by.... It was the odd moaning sound in the music. :laugh:

My DVD player was acting up today so I found Level 1 On Demand for free. It goes right into the workout so no listening to previews and all the talk before the workout. I don't think Level 2 is on there, though....

lol I tried counting how many time she say's it and I think I lost count after 4 times lol :laugh: As for what it means..I think Jillian is the only one that knows lol! I sorta took it as don't fake it, don't make it easier on yourself, don't be a phoney? lol That's my best guess! :laugh:

Wahoooooo L1D9 is done. After feeling so horrible yesterday and then having carb cravings all day today, I came home and knocked it out. Me and my diet buddy Tracy were really stuggling at work today, I hope she came home and was able to get it done too:happy:
O and I am right there with you girls, I cannot wait to hear something new on level 2, something tells me we are going to regret this those words though. Get ready to get our butts kicked!:sick:
Btw, wondering if anyone is measuring themselves before the end? Since I haven't lost too much, I was thinking I might take measurements. At least if I see that headed in the right direction it would make me feel like something positive was happening:bigsmile:

AmyMooreOrLess

You guys are freaking amazing! Way to go!

I'm holding at Level 1, Day 8... Didn't workout today. Was up all night with Baby and today we've both got nasty chest colds. Will jump back in to Level 2 when I'm feeling ready.

I use VLC player on my computer for my work-out, it lets you skip the intro, and jump right into the work out....

L1D9 completed without whining!!!!! I'm still doing the modified push ups, it may take quite awhile to get enough arm strength to do military style.

I work out at the gym in the morning, so this will be a great way to unwind when baby is asleep. I did it for a few days before but quit cause I had no motivation and the holidays were here..now I'm totally in again especially with a great support group. Good luck ladies..we can do it!

RUNN3Rmom

I...need...motivation...today... Blah!! Off to take McK to the bus & hopefully come in & knock this out. Wish me luck!

RUNN3Rmom

Yay, I finished. My HRM only said 145 calories, normally it is around 170-195...hmm? Anyway, I'll take it. Ry has KidFit @ 11:15 so I'll get another workout in then, too.

Hope you shredders are having a good day.

mnheather

What is VLC and where do I find it??? I can't stand having to listen to her for 10 minutes before I can actually get to working out. :grumble:

I really should measure because the scale depressed me.

how is the shred workout going.. any good results! I did day one yesterday.. and Im hurting today.. lol. no pain, no gain!!

atomiclauren

We skipped day 10 yesterday (we were working on tiling the kitchen which was *not* a fun trade off!) but we'll get it done tonight and be on schedule since we were a day ahead of this group.
I'm looking forward to Level 2 - I have a feeling she's going to keep up the "don't phone it in" business, though! :P

Oh, and VLC is a free open source media player..

Hi! I finished Level 1 today, so I'm going to look at my measurements tomorrow morning. I can say, though, that i peeked a few days ago at my hip measurement and it had gone down. Plus, I just feel a little more toned. As for the scale, ... oh, don't get me started. I posted in this thread about my experiences there. Let me just say don't get discouraged if you see weight gain or a stall for the first week. I had a gain even though nothing else had changed in terms of my eating. Then , a couple of days ago, I dropped to below my 30 DS starting weight over the course of a day. I think muscle soreness leads to water retention. Once my muscles were feeling better, the scale went down. All in all, I love the shred and am glad that I made myself do it! I've had the DVD since it came out but never had the courage to try it until this month!

Good luck to you!!
