    Day 9 Level 1
    Breaks 1
    V tired today - I did this after a 45 minute badminton session ....
    I can definitely see a difference in my stomach but not really anywhere else. I only measured for the first time yesterday and won't measure again til day 30 is done!

    Day 9 Level 2!!!!
    Breaks: 0
    Felt like i needed to change it up today and I actually found circuit 1 and 2 on level two to actually be quite enjoyable! Circuit 3 is a different story....but I got through it!

    D10L2
    Breaks- 1

    Just when the workout was starting to get easier, Level two starts. I was really sweating today, ew. Level two is tough, but do-able.

    D11L2
    Breaks-1

    It really makes me break a sweat and that last plank twist kills me, haha. I already feel like my arm muscles are getting stronger.

    I started this past Saturday, so I would end on July 4 - Fat Independence Day! Ha.

    Three days in and I have to say the cardio is harder than the weights for me. Last night I had more energy when I finished than when I started, so that's definitely good!

    eta: yesterday's stats:

    D3, L1
    No idea how many breaks - 5? My calf muscles BURN!
    Energy level was better at the end than the beginning.
    Also did 50 minutes of interval training at lunch

    Really, really didn't want to do this today. I was very hungry early so ate early lunch, then my brain kicked in and pointed out that I'd now have to Shred on a full stomach, uck. But I perservered because I totally wanted to get started on L2. (second attempt at 30DS, but first time on L2) I DID IT! :bigsmile:

    D11-L2
    3 Breaks-had to stop to watch what she was explaining, technically breaks.
    My arms/shoulders were burning...that's going to be some nice results!

    D11 L2 - no breaks! huh?!
    Well, it was bloody hard, and I did the beginner moves all the way, but still ... strangely enjoyed this more than level 1! Shoulders were BURNING and I'm not great at all the plank things but I managed.

    Well, I think I'm out of this round. After my lunchtime workout yesterday, my knees were bothering me, my kneecaps felt like they were being pulled to the outside. It was very unsettling. Internet research and a search of the boards resulted in an armchair diagnosis of jumper's knee, or IT band problems. Did some IT band stretches last night instead of the Shred video, took an Ibuprofen and my knees feel somewhat better today.

    I think doing the Shred videos on top of what I'm already doing (Jackie Warner's program 5x week) is too much; I'm not giving my body time to recover in between workouts. Since I'm loving Jackie's program, I'm sticking with it.

    So, I hate it, but I'd hate it worse if I really hurt my knees and couldn't work out at all! Good luck you guys!

    D12L2
    Breaks-2

    Wasn't feeling good this morning and didn't want to push myself to the point where I would get physically ill. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Those plank twists are still killing me at the end, haha.

    Im going to give today a miss, been laying flooring & skirting boards from 8.30am till 7.30pm (wonder how many calories that would have burnt??).
    I think if I attempt to do it tonight I wont be putting in 100% so i'll leave it till the morning.
