    Not a fan of the plank either!!! Thanks for the insight of level 2...think I will watch it tomorrow after the kiddos go to bed so I have an idea of what I have ahead of me. Cardio with weight...serious...that could be interesting! Can't wait to hear more about L2!

    I watched level 2 after I finished today, and the part that looked the hardest to me was those walk out and back pushups. I tried it, and it was such an akward movement I don't know that I will ever be able to do them in time with them.

    I finished Day 7 L1 today. I am still struggling a little with the first cardio circuit but I am getting stronger every day. I am looking forward to moving up to level 2 just for something different. I will still have to follow Anita on the other levels, but I have confidence in myself that I can do just about anything eventually.

    I just realized today was day 8 not 7. That means I will be moving up really soon. I'm not sure I'm ready but I am going to try after day 10. I can always go back down to level 1 if I can't do level 2.

    Oh I feel like a slacker!!! Didn't work out yesterday and I am not going to today. Today is my 3rd day in a row working and it has been some hard tough days. I Work at a hospital on a surgical floor and there has been some hard cases lately. I try not to be hard on myself because I work hard and I am on my feet walking for atleast 7 hours a night while I am working.

    I dont work tomorrow so I Need someone to yell at me monday to make sure i get off my *kitten*!!! :happy:

    I got home from work and started Day 9 L1. About half way through I stopped because I just didn't have the energy to get through. I stopped. Then I was so upset with myself that after about a half hour I started over and did the whole thing from the beginning again. The ironic thing about that is that the first circuit is the hardest for me and I ended up doing that one twice.

    I noticed today that my shins were hurting during the jump rope and the butt kicks. I can't wait to get out of level 1 so I can stop jumping so much. Only one more day.

    Just did D4 L1 this morning - I was a little less sore today than in the past three days, so that makes me happy! The anterior raises still really get to me... and I always have trouble not straining my neck during the ab moves - does anyone have any tips to minimize that?

    Cross your arms in front of you, put your arms on your shoulders and pull your shoulders back =)

    This illustration is raising her head to far, but you get the idea =)

    Finished L1 this morning! I am ready to start L2 tomorrow. I need to change it up, even though I am worried about it going back to being impossible again.. I will probably take measurements tomorrow, but as of weigh in this morning I have lost 4 pounds since starting. That's pretty amazing. I am so proud of myself for sticking with it.

    Just finished D8 L1 today - I didn't have as much energy as I usually do, but I got through it all right. I can't wait to start L2, just to keep things interesting!

    Right! Did D10! Woohoo! So that's L1 done and dusted!

    The last time I did this, I struggled on D1 on L2 & 3 because I think I was still 'learning' the routines and watching the DVD (which is hard when I'm not facing the tv and I can't wear glasses when I do JM), so I thought I would give L2 a test try straight after, to get me geared up for tomorrow!

    I think I'll get on better with L2 this time round - I hated it last time because there was so much plank, but as I've done No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat and 6 Week 6 pack, I've had a bit of a baptism by fire in plank, so it didn't seem so bad, although I was knackered from having just done L1!

    Am annoyed with my weight- I did lose a lb, but my scales are playing with me at the moment and I'm showing 1lb more than my starting weight :grumble: (of the shred). We'll see what tomorrow brings - I think it's because I didn't do much cardio last week!

    Keep going people!

    D8L1 (yesterday) (Natalie! style woohoo, after, gulp, 3 days off!)

    Was still exhausted, so slept through alarm this morning, so not likely to get double dose in today either :(
    So likely D9L1 only today (this afternoon)
    Am annoyed with my weight- I did lose a lb, but my scales are playing with me at the moment and I'm showing 1lb more than my starting weight grumble (of the shred). We'll see what tomorrow brings - I think it's because I didn't do much cardio last week!
    Did you track your inches? I would imagine if you have before & after pics, you are MUCH more toned!!
