    Day 3 - DONE.

    ugh.

    I was in pain before doing Day 3, but felt pretty good while doing it and feel much better today! Did that happen to you, too?

    Can't wait to do Day 4 in a few hours!!

    Yes, that's exactly what happened! Yesterday was tough mainly because my kids kept bothering me during it. Not a good time to ask mommy for a snack! My horns may have come out at one point. :devil:

    Today (day 4) was a breeze though! And the time just flew by!
    It makes me feel hopefull that it will get easier. Because today was a *kitten*! and as for kids.. I have 5! and they always have some kind of drama and I too bring out the horns.."Let me do my video!!"

    Level 1 day 8 done - Just wanted to share a bit of motivation.. My scale says I'm down almost 7 pounds this week, since starting the shred. It's also my TOM, and I'm a bit bloated..so I have hope that I've actually lost more!! I think most of it was water weight, but it's gone, so good riddance! Also, people are starting to notice that my body is a bit tighter! I've started adding 6 week 6 pack or Insanity cardio abs in the afternoon for an extra workout =)

    Keep it up everyone, you're all doing great!! I can't wait to hear everyones results at the end of this!!

    Day 7 down, this was the hardest day for me since day 1.
    Totally my own fault though, since my daughter spent the night at my mom's last night, I decided to have a few glasses of rum and OJ. I'm feeling it today!!

    I'm just going to post what I put on my profile...
    Day 5 level 1 30 Day Shred: still kicking my butt. but got through it again today. I used 10 lb weights for some of the weight training but not all. probably 1/4 of the weight training. I felt the burn...

    adding:
    I may start doing the the exercise barefoot I've never been comfortable running or stuff like that in shoes. Prob is that I'm supposed to be going to a podiatrist to see if I should be fitted for orthotics....

    Day 3 done! It does not seem to be getting easier. The last set of ab work, the bicycle crunches.. are so hard. Im already tired from the cardio right before that I have a hard time doing these crunches.. I really hope it gets easier. But I did it :) keep on keepin on

    I think the only reason I am able to stand doing the bicycle kicks is that I was up to 350 crunches a day 6 days a week during my exercise routine... when Jillian starts the regular crunches it feels like I'm taking a break.

    Day 7 done and I dont think there's any way i'll do this in 30days... I think I'll just stick at level 1 for the entire time! It's all hard but that first cardio set (jumping jacks/skipping) kills me. My legs are like lead and really wont do it. Today is the closest I came to doing it with a mouthful of water in between each set.

    I don't know if it's my age, my size or my lack of exercise for the last 10+ years. Probably the latter!

    I started 30ds on 27th May - first 2 days I did level one but today jumped up to level 2 - that was a much harder workout and I was sweaty mc sweat sweat from soggy land!

    I'll do level 2 until it feels comfy and then go up to level 3.

    Try to combine 30ds with other activities - yesterday I swam for 40 mins. Today i'm going to bike ride, other days I might hit the gym. This is in addition to my running.

    Keep going ladies/gents - 30 days will be done in a flash!

    I finished day 9 of level one yesturday and I will be doing day 10 today. I'm excited I'll be 1/3 the way throught but nervous for a new routine tomorrow. I would have probably have been comfortable moving to level 2 on day 8 but since I still can't do all the pushups I'm going to go through the video as intended. I finally took some measurements and before pictures but it was on day 7 so my results might not be too accurate at the end but oh well (I had lost 4lbs before I took the pictures/measurements).

    Keep it up the good work everyone!

    I didn't feel much of a difference until after 5/6 days or so in my indurance. The bicycle crunches will get easier. I used to feel the knot in my stomach that Jillian talks about way before she says it but now I don't feel it until she starts counting down for the last 5. Stick with it, it will be worth it!

    Day 8 down!

    How are people doing who are doing the shred + another cardio/exercise? I've only been taking walks on all the shred days, but my kickboxing/running class starts back Tuesday night, and I don't think I can't handle both on the same day. thinking of take Tuesdays and Thursdays(class days) off from 30 day shred.

    Day 6 was hard for me today. I felt like I was struggling the whole time.

    I usually do it after lunch and today I did it before lunch... maybe I didn't have enough energy for it because I hadn't eaten prior.

    I think the side lunges with arm raises are getting harder every day.

    Since the weather has been nice Ive been going for a walk usually 45 minutes to an hour ...on rainy days I go the gym if I can get there and if not I do a round of the biggest loser on the wii.

    I go for an hour bike ride twice a week as well I did try to do my regular exercise routine as well the first day and could barely move the next day.
