    Day 10 done. It was hard to get through today, I wasn't mentally into it. I am just getting impatient and want to see a change.

    I'm exactly like you- I just wasn't into the last day of level 1. Maybe it's because I know it's the last time I have to hear Jillian talking about the darn butt kicks (though in level 2 it's knee lifts!).

    I want results and I'm impatient. So far I've lost weight but almost no inches. UGH!

    Here's to level 2 tomorrow, we CAN do this!

    Day 3 level 1 - I know I'm behind everyone here but I'm feeling encouraged by what I'm seeing in other ppl's posts. I'm starting to feel differently about myself - I know that my body isn't changing yet (I'm waiting for that!) but my attitude is. I was really not in to do the workout today - just came off night shift, body is still sore from yesterdays workout - but I did it and I was so proud of myself for pushing through.

    day 8 done
    I went to the gym first and did 20 mins of cardio on the treadmill first (5 mins fast walking, 12 mins of intervals alternating slow jog and fast run, then 3 more minutes at my comfort jog pace).

    I came straight home and shredded, but found it really tough after the cardio. I didn't enjoy it much.

    Generally I'm not sure that doing it every day is actually good for me. I am experiencing a lot of muscle aches and pains that aren't getting any better. I think I should maybe switch to alternating the shred with some cardio on other days to give my muscles a break from all the lifting. Having started doing it daily though I don't want to change because it feels like giving up. That's silly right? I know I should listen to my body. I'm just not always very good at doing what it tells me :indifferent:

    I'm feeling fed up today anyway. Now I'm knackered and have to clean my whole house because my inlaws are coming to visit later :ohwell:

    Day 2, level 2 done. I am not able to get all the way through it, especially the planks, without taking a few seconds rest. I'm going to keep striving to get better everyday.

    Keep up the good work all!

    Keep up the great work! I'm on day 8 today and I can't figure out if I love or hate it haha, but I'm seeing results as of recently and keep pushing myself thru the workouts too. Maybe I'll do level one and two today?

    Keep rockin'

    Everyone is diiferent. I think it depends on height and weight and overall fitness level. I use a heart monitor (Polar) and I'm still on level 1. I've been burning between 180 - and 200 calories per session.

    Day 7 / L1 complete for me!!!

    Day 11 done, did Level 2 today (day 4 of this level). I guess it's getting a tad bit easier, but I can just say how much I DISLIKE the entire Circuit 3 - not a fun one for me! :laugh: But, if I could ever get abs like Anita, I would be one happy girl!

    Failed the shred this morning. Boo!
    Got about 10-12 mins into it and shut it off. Worst day yet.
    I'm still getting over this darn cold (been a week now). My nose was running, coughing, and my throat was on fire. Not to mention my jaw is so sore, my wisdom teeth have decided to start coming in. Ugh!
    Going to try to get a walk or bike ride in later today as I'm feeling a littler better now after lunch.

    Hope you all have an awesome weekend! Have fun but stay focused. Keep it up!

    Madmaz- Thanks for posting the adaptations! I have had knee surgery 3 times on my right now, and it will never be as strong as my left so I often struggle!

    I have ZERO motivation to go in there and deal with Jillian Michaels right now. Today is the first day of level 2. It's probably from my failure at it the other day and tingling face that is holding me back. I'm also getting almost nothing in results even though I'm busting my butt to get it done and do it correctly. GRR!

    Update: I do go in and start 30DS, but by the time I got to the cardio in circuit 2, my left thigh muscle was screaming. It wasn't a muscle ache or pain from pushing it- it was a sharp stabbing pain any time I lunged or jumped on it. I had to quit. Sorry girls! I'll stretch more tomorrow and give it another go and see what happens. I've never had a pain like this before, so I'm not sure what it's from. Any ideas?
