    Warning..... for me.... level 2 was the worst! Good luck! just remember it is so worth it, you have eachother to lean on, and level 3, though very much a work out is a lot easier on your body, joints, ect!!!

  • Day 4 done! It is getting easier - not easy - just easier lol. I still sweat my butt off like I did on the first day though. My calves, thighs and arms are still sore but not as much.

    Just finished day 6! I have to say I felt much better today! As someone else said above me....it's getting easier, still not easy, but easier than before. I even ran a mile after I was done AND even did 15 minutes of rowing which I don't think I could've done after any other day. The shred was taking it all out of me all on it's own but I'm glad to say it's feeling more manageable.

    The closer I get to level 2 the more nervous I get about it. I feel like I can just now manage level 1. I have to admit tho I'm also pretty excited. It just means I'm that much closer to completing it and hopefully seeing some results. I'd like to redo the shred again after I'm done with it this go around. Maybe take a few rest days and then hop right back in.

    It is amazing how quickly you can feel leaner and stronger after doing it for a short while. I am really happy that I picked this back up, and am exicted to see our results in the end!

    I haven't looked ahead to level 2...I'm too scared to! Lol! Another day of shred level 1 complete. That is 8 done! Yippie! I'm so happy we have this group for support! I am keeping this as one thread so those who are starting over, etc, can stay with those who are in level two.

    help do i start level 2 today is my 8th day!

    The way the program is designed is to do 10 days at each level, hence "30 Day Shred." Technically you could do it whichever way you want though.

    Day 9 done! A little later than I usually do it, but at least I did it. It was a lot harder for me today, not sure why. Either cause it's so late, or partly cause I ate a lot of junk today :frown: Dang subway cookies!! Oh well, I'm excited for Level 2!! :bigsmile:

    Frustrated.... Fell off the wagon this weekend and haven't managed to get back on yet. I took Saturday off because I was so tired from the baby shower and concert, did day 6 on Sunday but it was so late, then Monday and Tuesday which are normally my BIG workout days, I did NOTHING! Not even the gym.

    I did do a lot of reading of different health and wellness sites yesterday and one of the things I read really had an effect on me. It talked about the black and white mindset, also known as the ALL OR NOTHING. You say to yourself "I am going to do 30 straight days of the Shred with no breaks or anything," and the second you miss a day, you quit because you didn't do the ALL, so now it's NOTHING. They said this mindset is the suicide of most diets, exercise plans, and even other things in life like school and work.

    This is my exact mindset in life. If I'm not going to do it all, I might as well do nothing. THIS is what I need to change and change shall start today. There's no reason for me to quit the shred because I missed a couple of days, and I definitely should NOT be beating myself up over it. So, back on the band wagon. I'll be seeing Day 7 tonight! :)

    day 9 done!

    Whew, done!! Day 9 complete and now I'm going to go for a run. I also did a 5 minute sneak peak at level 2. Not too shabby...just cause it was the warm up - LOL!! I tried out the walking sit ups - those are kinda keewl. I'm assuming it's the only way I will ever be able to do an actual sit up? Cause the traditional ones of up and down up and down are impossible for me, but the walking situps are do-able.

    Day 10 tomorrow - can't wait to move forward and do some measurements!! :tongue:

    Hi Ladies! I've haven't posted for quite a few days. I got sun burnt last Friday and couldn't even think about 30DS - the pain would have been too much on my shoulders & knees. I felt VERY guilty not doing it!! Lesson learned - sun screen! (Dah!)

    L3D7 complete tonight. It's great too see everyone sticking with it! When I finish L3 I'm going to return to L2; that level is a good challenge!

    Happy Shredding everyone!

    Day 10 done!! I'm so glad to finally be out of Level 1, to me it was just getting really mundane/boring. Don't get me wrong, I still sweat up a storm and it's by no means "easy" but I know I'm ready to move on. Level 2 tomorrow!!! Yippee!!!!! :bigsmile:

    Day 7 done! I'm glad I picked it back up after a rough couple days. I'm still hoping I stick with it. Trying to get rid of this ALL OR NOTHING mindset. Still having problems with my calves though...

    Done with day 8! I have very limited power at my house right now from a storm on Tuesday so I couldn't do my dvd like I usually do. I tried to play it from my computer but it wouldn't work so I actually had to do the entire thing from memory! I'm pretty sure I did it as close to exact as possible!

    I plan to take my 10 day measurements on Sunday after I've completed my 10th day and before I start level 2. I'm really hoping to see some improvement there because I still haven't lost a single pound! :(

    Day 11 done. Level 2 is awesome, in a "Wow this is so awesome I am about to pass out" kind of way :grumble:

    I will be taking measurements today. I should've taken them this morning before I ate, when I weighed myself. I'm assuming that would affect measurements the same way it would affect the scale.... TOM is here so I feel a little bloated, but I'm gonna measure anyway just to see.
