    Thanks, Steph and Jen!

    I got a new stepper. It's the same brand, so hopefully it'll last longer than 2 weeks. My ipod is fried ( a direct quote from apple tech support). It isn't covered under warranty through apple anymore, but my brother works at Costco, where I got it) and he thinks that Costco may still cover it.

    Now I'm off to try again. Wish me luck!

    I started D1 L1 of "30 day shred" today. I have to say I am way out of shape and it was quite hard for me. But, I DID finish it!!! My favorite part was when my 9 year old son came in and said " no mom, you need to do oppisite elbow to knee" Ha!!! He cracks me up!!!

    I started over today. A new 30 days of Shred.

    I finally completed level 3 and today was day 1 of level 1. It felt great. I was actually able to keep up with "bad *kitten* Nat". :laugh: It made me remember when I first started this. I couldn't even do the jumping jacks for the full 30 seconds at a time without taking a short break, and today it was a breeze. I increased my weights again (I'm up to 5 lbs now, started at 3 lbs). That definitely made me feel the burn. I mostly did all modified moves the first time around, but this second 30 days I'm going to try all the higher impact/bad-*kitten* moves! I'm pumped!!

    Wow, you are inspiring. I was up to day 23 straight, when I was forced to take a break with a sore shoulder. But am planning to start back tomorrow. And can't believe it but I'm actually looking forward to it.

    Kate, you are going great, but if you feel you need a rest day take it. I am itching now to get back into my exercise, but do feel renewed for having taken a break.

    Hi Jennifer, Well done you for starting. Oh yes I found Level 1 hard and it was a real shock to see just how out of shape I was. I did move up to level 2 for a few days then put myself back to Level 1, it still gives me enough of a work out. I tried to do 30 days without a break got to 23, but then a sore shoulder stopped me. Probably my body telling me that I should take rest days. Sounds like you have a 9yo trainer there to help you along the way.:smile:

    Hi! I'm doing the 30 day shred as well, but from what I understand from Jillian is that it's not suppose to be done 30 days in a row that it's meant to be done 5-6 times a week. You should give your body a rest day at least one per week even though it's only a 20-25 minute work out. Give your muscles a chance to recover so you can then "tear" them again.

    I plan to do it 4-5 times a week 10 days on each level which in turn would make it "30" days. I start level 2 this week.

    Great work jennmom2three!!

    jellyfishjen... YAY! You're coming back! I was happy that I did it, but my eating today made me feel not so healthy. :ohwell:

    NNouwens02... I think we have all figured that out here, whether it be the easy way, or the hard way. :flowerforyou:

    Kate... When you had that pain in your hip (that was you, right? I forget what you called it...), did you do anything to make it better? Mine started hurting on the right side in the last 2/3rds of L2, and now it's even worse... I can't do my belly dancing so well, because of the hip pain... :cry:

    Steph, I didn't have hip problems. I got tendonitis in my ankle. I had to buy better shoes (according to my ortho guy) and do lower impact stuff.

    I'm Back. Not happy, after 8 day break (due to shoulder), I feel I had lost a lot of what I had gained. Sticking to Level 1 and it was hard. Checked my diary I thought I had done 23 days but no only 22. So I guess if I keep counting I'm up to Day 23.

    D25 L3! So close... I also did W(eek)1 D(ay)1 of the C25K today. Everything went well, and I'm feeling pretty good. It was really nice to get running again, and a great sunny day to do it!

    Great job Jen! Your muscles just need to be woken up again! I doubt you lost much momentum in a week. :flowerforyou:

    Nice going Kate!!

    Day 24, stayed with level 1 again. Feeling good, even though I huffed and puffed my way through, and am sweating heaps. Best thing about exercising at home. My own shower. :smile:

    I'm taking today off to rest my sore thighs/hips. Shred and C25K again tomorrow!

    When I went to the gym, I never used their shower... I was like, I'm going home anyway, so why not just shower there? People probably thought it was dirty... :laugh: If I was as confident as those girls running around it the change room with no clothes, then I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it's just not for me. :laugh: :laugh: :blushing:
