I think level 2 is definitely a step up from level 1, but I find that a few of the moves are actually easier. I've been slacking on the shred, but today it's time to stop that nonsense. I'm 5 pounds away from a big goal, so I'm counting on Jillian to get me there (and myself to LET Jillian get me thereHi everyone.
Glad to see you are all doing well. I have been feeling so tired the last few days as i have not been exercising like really tired nearly falling asleep standing up lol.
So it is back to shred today and C25k in the morning. I have also joined up to two more courses of zumba so will be doing them monday and wednesday nights.
Does anyone feel there body changing? I have more people told me i look like i have lost weight since i started shred & c25k than since starting my whole weight loss.
So is level 2 that hard? I am scared!!!!!!!!!
) I finished week 3 of c25k last night, though, and it wasn't really hard, which I'm excited about. I'm less excited about the fact that summer school is over, so the high school has the track locked up. Especially not excited that as I ran last night, it took me 2 full minutes to pass a middle aged woman who was WALKING! So slow, but that's okay. Haha 0 -
So, I have no clue how to post pictures on a message board, but I did add some new ones to my profile. The obligatory "before" (my college graduation; 260 pounds) and a couple of new "during" pics. I took them yesterday right before I went running. (Maroon shirt..205, baby!)0

I've got 4 more days of level 2, and I'm starting wk4 on Monday! Where's everyone else?0

Well done you look brilliant!!0 -

I did W2D1 of C25K today..I have to say i was pleased with myself i thought i would be back to the start after having a few days breaks but i did it. I was sunny so i could not complain. Anyone have the cool running app? I ran today(Sunday) and it is telling me my next run should be Thursday. Why is this?
What does everyone think of when they are running?
I seem to think of how lucky i am to be able to do this....lucky to have my boyfriend beside me supporting me all the way when i know this is easy to him and he only does it for me...How when i lose weight this time i am going to keep it off and when i get to my goal weight i am going to stay there not keep telling myself i have loads more to lose...how much better i feel about myself.
Level 2 Day 11 of shred DONE.
I have to say i liked it i was getting bored of level 1. At first i was jumping into level 1 moves without thinking. Hehe.
Well done to everyone you are all killing it

Awesome im in! Im currently on week 2 day 4 of 30 Day Shred and im starting today with C25K. Hopefully I can make it. Havent run since i was a freshman in high school! lol almost 10 years ago.0

I don't have any apps for c25k, but I did download a free podcast on itunes..it's got okay music and a nice lady who talks to you. haha..I don't really think about anything when I'm running, except maybe "I wonder how far I'm going to get before it's time to start walking" and "damn, my bf looks foxy when he runs." lol!! (What? He does. :happy: ) I totally relate with shred..I was so bored of level 1 by the time it was over I couldn't wait to move on. I'm not there yet with level 2, though, so that's good (for now).I've got 4 more days of level 2, and I'm starting wk4 on Monday! Where's everyone else?

Welcome.
Do not worry you will love c25k. I was never a runner ever and i can do it so a 10 year break you will be just fine 0 -

I have to say i will the cool running app,i can listen to my own music when it is time to run/walk the nice lady lowers my music and tells me to run then it goes back up again lol.
I bet your bf would be super happy to know you are checking him out when you are running.
Level 2 Day 12 shred DONE. I have to say i felt like i knew what i was doing today. I am not a fan of the walking planks/push ups.
I can do sit ups all day but push ups hell no.
How is everyones day?0 -
Congrats! You were our 100th post!! Lol. Today's good so far, sorta. Now that I don't have a/c, I normally shred early while it's still "cool" in the house (like 87), but it never got that low. I woke up at 7 this morning and it was 90. However, I'm starting week 4 of c25k tonight (in about an hour!) so I'm not too torn up about it. I don't mind walk out planks, but I HAAAATE those V squats. I have to switch to my 3 lb weights (I usually use 5 lb). Also, oblique twists aren't fun, but they're getting easier. Omg how about the very last ab routine? The plank twists? SO HARD! I like them, though.0

Wanna know what I love about c25k? It makes me proud of myself every time I do it because it makes me push myself to do something I didn't think I could. I just ran for a total of 16 minutes, and while there were walk breaks in between those 16 minutes, it's such a far cry from where I was only 4 weeks ago. I am proud to say that not once since I started the program have I cheated by walking when I was supposed to run. Not once. I know this whole post sounds self-centered and all about me, but it's really the story of all of us on this journey. We've all come a long way from where we started, and we should all be proud of ourselves and each other.0

Day 1 of Phase 3..done. So much jumping!!! Let me know what you guys think about p3 when you're there. It's hard, but for some reason, I think I like it more than p2, even though I HATE jumping.0

Oh..I couldn't do my usual "girl pushups" today, which SUUUUUCKED! I slipped on a wet floor the other day and have a giant bruise on my right knee. I thought the bruised knee pain would be less than that of regular pushups, but I was wrong, so I only came down halfway, but they were "real" pushups. By the way, I read something today that said even if you just stay in plank or only go down halfway into a regular pushup, you work more muscles than if you do a perfect "girl" pushup. Just something to think about.0

Thats good to hear! I can manage about 10 proper push up's but much more girlie ones, so I always go for the girlie ones!0 -
My legs haven't been sore in a long time, but when I started stretching before my run today, I could definitely feel it. Phase 3 made my legs sore. Not too much, though. As I said, I didn't really notice until I started stretching today. On another note, I just finished week 4 of c25k! I'm going to have to start doing my Friday runs on Thursday, though, because the track is closed on Friday. I refuse to run in the park next Friday in front of people while trying my hardest to make it through a 20 minute run. If I'm going to suffer, the only one who needs to see it is the bf, and even then, he's way ahead of me anyway. He doesn't see my "can I die now?" face until he laps me. Haha0

Where's everyone in terms of 30DS and c25k? My last day of 30DS is this coming Saturday, and I'm starting week 5 tomorrow (yikes!) After I finish 30DS, I'll be starting JM's Ripped in 30 if anyone wants in on that.0

I've got ripped in 30...got kind of tired of Jillian though...might give it a go this weekend! Loving the c25k, week 4 begins this evening :bigsmile:0 -
I need to get my *kitten* in gear. I have been super busy and been slacking.
I am on day 13 of shred
and Week 2 day 3(today) of c25k.
I just found out last week i have asthma. I went out running on saturday and did week 2 day 2 of c25k.
It was a bit harder but i did it. I will finish this. Does anyone feel running is really changing their shape? I feel smaller the next day.
I am going to a wedding for the weekend so will have the weekend off. I am going to do shred for the next few days and i will be half way there. Then no breaks for the next 15.
How is everyone today?x0 -
Good for you! I know you can do it! We all can. I've basically spent all day in bed (it's 3:30 pm) watching movies with the boyfriend. He just left, so it's finally time to get my butt in gear for the day. Shred, and then as much as I can handle of Bob Harper's 1 hr. strength workout, and then in about 4 hours, w5d1 of c25k. I HAVE to be under 200 by July 22nd (bf's bday). Time to get on it! Have a good day, ladies!I need to get my *kitten* in gear. I have been super busy and been slacking.

I will say it again..you are superwoman girl.
You will do it no problem. ONEderland is in sight.
Day 13 DONE and i will be doing day 14 in the morning.
I was with Nat all the way through this time goodybye Anita. lol.
I even shocked myself.
Time for bed. Night everyone. x0 -
P.s What did i win for my 100th post? LOL0
-
Awesome job sticking with Nat..it's tough, but worth it! During side planks, do you notice one side is easier than the other? I find it's much easier on my left side than my right. Maybe it's just me? For having the 100th post you win..a Shred workout! Yay!!! lol0
-
C25k wk5 d1 done! That last 5 minutes was tough, but I stuck it out. Tomorrow is d2 (because I didn't go yesterday..I usually do M, W, Th..because the track is closed Fri-Sun). Day 2 means 8 minute runs. I got this. You do, too, whatever week you're on. I think after about week 2 it all becomes mental. If you can will yourself to keep moving your feet, you're doing just fine.0
-
Day 14 DONE.
I still find the walking planks with a push up killer. Thank god they are at the start.
I find that as well it is like i can jump to the left but getting back to the right is harder.
Going to finish c25k week 2 in the morning(i know i am behind but thats ok) as well as day 15 shred. Exciting.
Where is everyone at?0 -
Day 27 of Shred and w5d2 of c25k is on deck for me today. I can't believe I'm almost done with Shred and over halfway done with c25k. I think when I finish week 9, I'm going to do it again, but trying to improve my speed. Last night, I went faster during my 2nd 5 minute run, and that's why my 3rd sucked so bad. Haha..I know c25k works on the idea of a 10 minute mile, so during 5 minutes, I should be doing 2 laps. I can do 1.25-1.5. During round 2, my goal is to be able to do the intended speed. We'll see. Let's just get through this slow session first. 0

I cant believe you are on day 27 already!! Well done.
How is level 3? Does it get better?0
