    yeah...it's Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. There are 3 levels and the idea is that you do level one for 10 days (or until you feel you can advance), then level2 for 10 days, then level 3. If you have comcast on demand you can get level 1 and 2 right now for free. It is a kick butt workout!!

    The crummy thing is level 1 ends 10/7 on my OnDemand. So I'm hoping I can be in good enough shape to move up to level 2 by 10/8/08 so I don't have to run out and buy it right away. I'm such a cheapskate...ahahaha.

    So I only did Shred once last night...grrr....hubby got frisky.:bigsmile: ...blah blah blah....he keeps saying he can really tell a difference...so something is working! :glasses:

    My plan...Shred tonight after work and then I go to a family reunion tomorrow...2 hours drive there and 2 hours back in the same day. I should be home by 7ish tomorrow night...plenty of time to Shred after I get home! I think my body will really like it after those 2 hours in the car too! :wink: Maybe I'll try to catch up with my one day missed on Sunday...once in the morning once in the evening. Yeah...that will be my plan! :tongue:

    Have a great day ladies!

    my push ups are getting better too. The first time I did pushups I maybe did one. Much easier going down then coming back up by the way. :laugh: The second time I did the workout I think I did 5. :bigsmile:

    Question on the Shred tape.... is there only one tape? So all 3 stages are contained on the one?? I found it after calling around locally for under $10 but just wanted to make sure it was the right one. :drinker:

    Thanks for any info :):drinker:

    I may not have made it in time to join you all on your challenge this month...but once I get it I'll be keeping up with reading your posts.....

    You're all VERY motivating!! :flowerforyou:

    last time i asked how to log this i was told to log it as general circuit training for 20 minutes. I feel like i might be burning more cals than it is giving me credit for though. If anyone has any better loggin ideas, let me know!!
    Didn't shred yesterday :ohwell: or today:embarassed: but i did do an hour of pilates on a reformer with a trainer. I have plenty of time tomorrow and wednesday to do it twice to make up!:tongue:

    ps i cheated and weighed myself today (due on wednesday) and i am down 1.5 pounds:blushing:

    okay so i have not been great about shredding every day but am doing it when i can. I swore I was going to do this for 30 days and it makes me mad that i have not stuck with that:mad: but i figure i will do my best to do it as many days as i can and be happy with that!:wink:
    Weight after one week : 164
    loss: 1 pound

    No too shabby for feeling like i wasn't doing so great!!

    Where is everybody? How are we all doing?
    Much better than me I hope!
    We had issues with Comcast since Friday. I use my OnDemand to do the Shred.
    So with out Comcast, I did not have Shred OR internet so I wasn't able to log my food here on MFP.
    Anyway, Comcast has resolved the problem. I hope to be back shredding tonight!

    I just finished Day 8! This is from someone who did little to no exercise prior to this time. I actually look forward to the workout and this is just the challenge I needed. Thanks for starting the October challenge!!

    OK I need help. I got a HRM monitor and I was ready to go and I did something wrong so it didn't count my calories. Could someone please tell me how many calories I just burned?? :bigsmile: I want to eat them calories up. :bigsmile: Thank you

    OK Girls - I had hoped that I would shred at least twice a week - starting from nothing to that was big for me BUT not only have I shredded 3 times (Wed, Thurs and Monday) but I walked 2 days too! It feels good!
