    L1D3 down!!! I was able to not stop this time, until I got to the bicycle crunches then I felt like I was dying. I also still have to do the girl push-ups but it's progress! Everyone is doing great!!!

    I do the modified push ups - i start off ok but as i do more i can't push as much so they get smaller and smaller - if that makes sense? lol

    i can't do jumping jacks well my pelvic floor is just destroyed LOL

    for the butt kicks i have to hold on to something otherwise i lose balance

    in fact for all the cardio i have to hold my boobs as i need to invest in a decent sports bra... so thats annoying.

    oh and for the reverse crunches i just do normal crunches instead because my tailbone/lower back kills at the mo and it hurts too much

    but other than that i'm doing ok.... LOL


    and I found day 2 easier than day 1, but day 3 i found harder than day 2 lol. think because im so tired and achy!

    L1D3 done, phew!!! I am feeling weak and tired today! Today was definitely harder for me than yesterday however, I did wake up less stiff today. I still can't do the push ups even the modified ones. I push myself just to get 10 each time, so 20 total. With a 1200 calorie diet and this workout I am definitely seeing results already, so nice!

    Oh, yeah, push ups are the hardest for me. I have been known to do them standing at the wall. Still giving effort to floor, but sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.

    So I thought I was gonna be all motivated and do day 3 this morning before class, even though I'm going to power pump class (basically 45 minutes of upper body strength training) and zumba tonight.
    However, after doing a 3 mile jog last night, I was not feelin it this morning.
    SO.....Day 3 tomorrow!
    But good job all you ladies! Keep it up, and we'll be ripped in no time :)

    Day 3 is the hardest - you can do it! Nothing can kill you in 20 minutes!!

    I totally agree..felt off. struggled through the whole thing, did what I could, and stuck to it. Hoping it gets easier. :smile:

    L1D2 is history. I have modified some. I do jumping jacks for about 10 seconds til it starts hurting having all this extra *stuff* flopping around... LOL! I can't really do the reverse crunch. I do push ups until I can't (I am up to about 11 total! Girl-style of course). And the last cardio section was almost a moot point because my heart rate was a bit too high already. On the other hand, I can do the lunges and leg work pretty well. I can do crunches and obliques quite well. I have NO upper body strength or stamina though! That squat then lift thing is next to impossible for me to do the entire time. I have to hand off my dumbbells to my husband to even THINK about finishing that section, and then I still barely do. I hope before this round is over that I can at least make it through the entire (if modified) workout! I can tell that this will be one I will come back to a few times before my journey begins to wind down.

    Wooooooohooooooo! L1D3!! Done and dusted, very happy to report the following

    * It didn't kill me (did have to stop twice, harder than yesterday)
    * It hurt less getting up and down off the floor
    * Feeling stronger

    I had the TV volume down lower today with some music on, much better motivation for me! Bring on D4 :bigsmile:

    I know most people find jillian motivating but her voice really grates on me, I usually look out the window and visualise myself looking hot to block out the sound of her...

    Last night laying on bed before I went to sleep I couldn't get the stupid background music out of my head!! Lol

    Didn't mind the music and talking the first time, once I finished D2 I knew music would be required.

    Day 3 today. I put the tv on mute this time and turned some tunes on :)
    I'm getting a little frustrated because my 5 lb weights are too heavy for the presses in the first circuit (w/ the squats) and too heavy for the lateral raises at the end (w/ the side lunges) but not really heavy enough for the rowing ones or the curls...oh well, I guess i'll just keep going til I can do all of it.

    I was having some major cravings tonight. Could not stop eating! Luckily pretty much all I have in my house is fairly healthy food, so I didn't eat anything too bad, just enough of it to add up to like 700 calories. It just gets hard after a while to constantly be worried about portions and cals. BUT it'll be worth it in the end so hang in there!!

    I don't mean to come out as though I am hating on Jillian Michaels as I point out the following things about her. I am happy for her success and her motivation. However, there was one of her exercise DVD that I purchased when she just started becoming big and not many people knew who she was. She kept stopping and laughing at herself after every exercise move, and it made her look like anything but a professional trainer. I couldn't believe they allowed that to be on a DVD for people to purcase. I was embarassed for her. When my mother had seen the 30 day shred, she couldn't believe she that she was the same Jillian from the Biggest Loser because her body didn't look much in shape.

    I am working on removing all of my temptations from my home (for example, chocolate candies from Valentine's Day). I'm not doing so bad avoiding them since I have purchased substitutes, but they are still staring me in my face, and that is hard. It's easier when they are out of sight and out of mind.

    My appetite has flown through the roof! I am trying to combat this by substituting the unhealthy foods I can't seem to stay away from. I am having small amounts of diet soda, instead of regular soda (I didn't have soda for a long time and after I tasted it one day, I have been on a crave), sugar-free candy instead of regular candy, etc... I am hoping to regain control of my appetite soon by being careful not to eat foods that intensify it.

    Had completed L1 Day3 today. I cleaned my home for 3 hours yesterday, went on a two mile walk during my lunch break at work, and crashed when I got home, so not enough energy was left for Jilian at that time.

    I just started it this morning - so I guess I'm in. I also started Zumba a few weeks ago, just once a week though so far. I am sore after the first day of 30DS though. But, tomorrow I'll go again.

    I can't believe I've done L1D4. I honestly didn't think I would make it this far! lol. I am happy to say that I did not wake up sore this morning! Well a little bit but not nearly as bad as the past couple of days! I'm really starting to see changes in myself. My back seems alot leaner =D I weighed myself and I lost 2 pounds since last week! This lady is a genius! How is everyone else doing? Keep up the good work! And remember is only 20 minutes a day! We can do this!!!
