    Due to family matters, I ended up skipping 3 days of the 30DS. So, I decided that I was going to restart and not get sidetracked. So I completed Day 1 of Level 1 on 4/5.

    GOOD LICK EVERYONE

    Day 13, Level 1... Done! Found it a bit tougher to do in the evenings, as compared to mornings. Think I will stick with working out first thing in the a.m. since I have more energy then and once it's checked off my daily to-do list, I feel like I've accomplished something for the rest of the day.

    PROGRESS:
    I took measurements and pics when I first started. Although I have not measured my inch loss yet (plan to this Friday), I have LOST 5 LBS since starting this challenge!! I'm just watching my calories according to MFP and doing the 30 DS - nothing more. As far as inches go, I know I have lost quite a bit as I'm DOWN 2 PANT SIZES since I began shredding and pals have commented. Just a side note, I GAINED weight after the first week of Shred and after checking around, was told that it's just your muscle holding onto water (simply put). Not to worry though, it was gone by the next week and then some. :wink:

    Don't get discouraged... this workout really does pay off in the end. I've seen some amazing results and that is what keeps me going. Keep shredding ladies!! :bigsmile:

    Good for you Zumba!! You've been on an emotional roller-coaster this past week, that's for sure, but I'm glad to see that you're putting your health first. Take care. :flowerforyou:

    I've been doing 30DS in the mornings before work/starting my day, but decided to try doing it after work today instead. I don't think I like that as much as the mornings, so I think I'll go back to that tomorrow... Oh well. I didn't think I was a morning person, but there's something to be said for getting it done and over with before 6:30 am. :)

    Well, I missed Day 5 but I am going to get it done today after I grab my son from school at 2:30. I also have yoga today so that is a double-work out. I plan on not missing anymore days (if I can help it) this month! :)

    My son called me out on missing my workout and suggested this morning that I "do it twice" so I can stay on track. I thanked him and told him that I have yoga today so that is a double workout. His reply, "awesome job, Mom". Awwww....my little coach :)

    Day 6 Level 1 complete. For some reason it seemed harder today than yesterday!

    Today will be day 5 of the shred and I have gained 2 pounds. That is hard to take. Of course I haven't been as attentive to my diet the last couple of weeks, so maybe it is that bad behavior catching up with me. But the last time I tried the shred (I used it as part of another workout plan for a couple weeks), every morning after I did it, I seemed to loose weight, no matter what. Then again I am also about 8 pounds lighter now than I was then, so maybe that is it. Going to stick with it, cause I do want to work on my shape if nothing else. Maybe next Wednesday's weigh in will be better.

    I tried setting my alarm to get up to do it for a week...never made it out of bed. Now I am doing it on my lunch break. Seems to be going alright so far. I used to work out at night, but I have to wait for my kid to go to bed. It wasn't too bad when he was in bed by 7:30, but these days it is often closer to 9:00. By then, I am ready for bed too. I am still intrigued by the morning workout. Do you get out of bed and immediately throw on your work out gear and get to it? Or what is your routine?

    When I work out in the morning, I get up around 5:30-5:40, brush my teeth, put on my workout clothes and get right to it. The hardest part is actually getting out of bed! :yawn: Once its done though I dont have to worry about doing it later. And sometimes my plans get changed for me, so this way at least I've exercised for the day. And I feel good all day long! :happy:

    D6L2. All those plank poses hurt and it is always my arms on the last strength move that kill me, but I am pushing through. Been getting a little discouraged with weight loss, but I will keep pushing and hope to see some results soon.

    I am new the website and would like to know all the features. For example how are you ladies putting under your comments, your goal weights/current weights etc
    plus the ticker?

    I ran this morning, didn't have the energy to lift weights, but will do L1,D5 tonight!

    Keep it up ladies!!

    Onto L1D6 - its going by pretty quickly but I am so very tired. I have to ask .... do all of you who do the shred in the morning really feel good throughout the day???? Really??? I do mine at night and I'm exhausted. If shredding in the morning is better than I would love any and all ideas on how to make myself leave my nice warm comfy bed to go workout and sweat with Jillian lol.

    Most mornings, I'm too tired to wake up any earlier than I have to, but when I can, I like to work out in the morning. The sence of accomplishment gives me energy! :)

    @ Reyna99 - To get a ticker, go to Tools, get your ticker, then get the code for your ticker. Copy the code for message boards and go to Message Boards and paste under Signature. I finally figured out how to do this today! I am also new on here.

    @ kmsv123 - The way I get out of bed every morning to do the shred is knowing that after a long day at work, I dont have to shred when I get home! Sometimes I do the elliptical or stationary bike with a friend after work, but I dont have to be thinking about doing that shred DVD all day long. Works for me.

    I'm in another challenge, the April Rise and Shine challenge and oddly enough, that's helping. I hate waking up early but I had to this week (I had a conference Monday and Tuesday), so I dragged myself up and while Monday, I was exhausted, Tuesday I felt awesome after. This morning I tried sleeping in, and it wasn't nearly as rewarding as working out. I still have to set 4 alarms to get my @ss up, but I do get up...

    I like to do it in the morning also. I usually wake up have breakfast with the family, take my son to school then shred shower and go to work. I missed today (rough morning) tonight it is!!!!

    Day 14, Level 1... Done. I actually felt so good afterwards I did some spring cleaning! Feeling like I can add more cardio exercises after the Shred now but I'm switching to Level 2 on Saturday so we will see what that brings. I'm looking forward to my Friday weigh-in. Keep going ladies!! :bigsmile:

    finished day 6! The jump rope was a lot easier today, but I still had to take a break. Made it through the entire third circuit without a single break!! Even the bicycle crunches and side lunges! WOW! I was shocked! (it wasnt easy though!!). Good job everyone! I am so excited to see where we all are on friday!! Have a wonderful evening!!
