    Day 7 of Level one done! It was so much easier today but im still having problems with my left leg, I realllllyy dont want to take a rest day cuz then I would feel as if I was just starting over. But then again, if i'm hurting I wont get anything out of the workout. We'll see how i feel tomorrow!

    thanks for the motivation ladies! Level 2 here we come!

    The first time I did Shred last year my right knee was killing me about 6 days in....I was so determined I ignored it and pushed through....two workouts later (workouts in which I did not push 100%) my knee REALLY hurt....so bad I went to the doc and found out I tore a ligament....I say REST if your leg is bothering you. You don't want to make anything worse. I had to stop exercising for close to two weeks for my knee to get better....

    Also, what kind of shoes do you wear when you Shred? When I first started I was barefoot....then based on discussion on another website I invested in some really good cross trainers and that helped A LOT.



    So....D6, L1 done. I really did not feel like doing Shred when i got home after already going to the gum today, but I'm glad I did....i have all of you wonderful ladies to thank because, if it were just me and I did not have to repo back...I probably would have sat on the couch and watched tv!

    Day 8 down! I got new shoes yesteray and I have been doing this barefoot so i think that was my problem. I may be going to level 2 early, its just getting boring and too easy for me. I sweat a lot still but I dont feel like I worked too hard. I dunno, Its only two more days so I'm sure I can stick it out!

    Day 7 of Level 1 done....I have to confess I really slacked a bit today, but it wasn't because I wanted to....as I was finishing up the first set of squat and press I felt a terrible pain in the right side of my back from the top of my quad up through my lower back....I can't tell if I pulled something or if it is my sciatic nerve flaring up again....in any event, I could not squat and press so I squatted up against the wall and did the arm movement....ditto with the side lunges...last card circuit I took it real easy cuz the bouncing up and down was hurt too....anyhow, figure I will give it 24 hours to subside hopefully and be able to Shred tomorrow night after my daughter is in bed...sigh....just as I was really feeling like I have mastered this level again!

    I am rereading some of my posts here and I apologize for the apparent horrible spelling, word choice and grammar issues....I type this on my iPad and the screen is so small I don't notice how awful it is until I have already submitted the reply!

    L1, D7: Done, disgruntled but done.

    Am I the only one who still thinks this is tough? I'm scared to move up after day 10, I feel like I'm still struggling. I still do girlie push-ups (but at least I'm doing them now).

    Mimi, I hope that you feel better tomorrow!

    L1Day 7 done! Did a chaser of a bollywood thing on exercise tv. It was kind of fun. This bland midwestern girl got to feel exotic!:laugh: Though I'm glad no one was watching!

    So I am pretty sure that I will have to sit out today and possibly tomorrow too...my back REALLYhurt last night, so bad that I got in bed at 8pm and did not get out of bed until 11am today. Oh well...good news is I can still walk with little pain so I should be able to get some exercise in. :(

    L1, D8; finished

    I tried to follow with a Kim Kardashian "Fit in Your Jeans by Friday" lower body workout, but my kids interrupted me about 10 minutes in. I don't know anything about Kim Kardashian, but the workout got good reviews on amazon. It feels tough.

    L1D8 done! Hopefully the hotel has on demand and I can do it on my trip. I'm packing my weights, so at least I will get a workout lugging around my suitcase! I'll check in as much as I can!

    mimi-I hope you feel better soon! take care of yourself!

    So....I had to sit out Yesterday and today...boo hoo..it's weird because since I did not work out the past two days I have been super hungry....that is weird right?

    Anyhow, the back feels sort of better, but not 100%...I'm hoping I will be good to go tomorrow. I am so proud of everyone else! Keep up the great work!

    L1, D10: Finished:smile:

    Who's moving up tomorrow? I'm not sure whether to move up tomorrow or wait until Saturday. On Day 1, I was so exhausted that I could hardly move for the rest of the day. Tuesdays are my busiest days of the week and I just don't know whether I can risk being that worn out.:blushing:

    Quick check in while on a break. No on demenad, so I won't be ableto shred until Thursday. Grr. I probablt won't be moving up to L2 until Sat. I've also had to turn down a fruit cobbler, cake, and chocolates today, and we haven't even made it to dinner!

    So....I went to the doc today to get my back checked out....thankfully nothing major...but the bad news is I have to lay off the exercise for about a week. So, unfortunately I have to tap out for now. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get back to day 8 by Friday. Boo hoo for me, but you ladies are so awesome! Keep at it....

    I didn't do my workout this morning because of a yucky headache. Then my day got crazy busy and I didn't get it done at all.:grumble: Is anyone else still out there?

    Back in town. Pretty sure I gained, even with trying to be good. :grumble: Got to get back on track.
