    L2D19 done today. A little disappointed because this should have been day 20 and my last day on Level 2, but I just couldn't do it on Friday. It was a long day, Ive had a really stressful week, and I was so exhausted. I didn't even eat dinner because i passed out before 8 which left me under 800 cals for the day. (I know, I know its bad. I try to never be under 1200 net).

    Here's to a new week though and to starting L3 on Tuesday! Hope all you ladies had a wonderful weekend and are meeting all your personal goals :) we are getting closer and closer to 30 days!

    Day 22 is done! :smile:

    8 days left! :bigsmile:
  • Well, I'm 2 days off track due to out of town travel, but I'm set to start L3 tomorrow....10 days left! Woohoo! I previewed L3 after my workout today. I'm scared.

    Congrats to all who have stuck with it, even if you've had to miss a day or two!

    Made it through my first day of level 3. I was thinking it wasn't as bad as I had expected and that it was definately going to be my favorite level. Right up to those rockstar jumps. I don't think I am going to be coordinated enough to do those ever. I almost fell over on every jump and was only getting an inch or so off the ground. May just have to sub some other cardio for those 30 seconds. It took me a minute to sort out some of the moves so my burn wasn't as high, but I think I will be doing Natalie moves quickly in this level.

    Good job everyone for sticking withit!

    Day 23, L3D3 - Today was harder than yesterday, maybe because I didn't have my cheering section-they were snoozing still.
    Bright side- my arm was fine today. Just needed a little rest yesterday.

    Day 21 Level 3 (first day). So I don't like anything to do with jumping and squatting when they are put together haha! Although my arms weren't as tired as they were in level 2, my body felt more tired.

    D21L3 complete. I generally try to start each move like Natalie and do as much her way but occasionally downgrade to Anita.
  • Day 21 done. First day of L3. Part of me wants to say it was not as difficult as L2, but yet, I can't do several of the moves "Natalie style," so maybe not!

    9 days to go!!!

    Day 22 L3 done! I think I have the moves figured out now so I can start working up to Natalie moves. Since I know I am not going to be able to do the rockstar jumps I did the ab twists from level 2 during those times.

    Day 16 level 2 day 7 done! Ready to get to 3.
  • Day 22, level 3 done. I'm so excited that I've stayed with this...had to miss two days, but it drove me crazy to miss those two days, so I think that counts for something in terms of commitment! LOL...Yay...8 more days!

    L3 seems a little easier than L2, but I'm more sore afterwards than with L2...hmmm...

    D23L3 done. I realized my pole class started this week and not next week and have made the executive decision to not do the hour long pole class and the shred on the same days.. so no shred those days. Not planning to make them up, figure I'm still getting a hard workout those days anyway lol.

    Ok everyone, I admit...I took a week off from 30DS! I played sports at work and took my dog for a few walks, so I wasn't completely sedentary, but I was just having a funky week and couldn't get myself to pop in the DVD.

    But today I completed D14L2 and sweated buckets! I had sweating dripping off of me by the end and it felt fantastic! I was proud of myself for getting it done after a bad week.

    The biggest thing for me is to get into the habit of working out at work...I'm there for 48-72 hours at a time and can't justify not using the gym we have! We just got new equipment too...that'll be my goal for this weekend, use the gym at work!

    Good job to everyone who's stuck with it all the way through!!

    Finished Day 23 L3 tonight. I wasn't feelin it tonight so it wasn't my best effort but at least I didn't say screw it and skip. Only 7 more days!

    Day 25 L3D5 = tougher at night!! but done. 5 days to go.
  • I did this video tonight and am wondering how you guys add it into your exercise log???

    I just add it under circuit training, general...I lost my HRM strap so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it seems like the a lot of people find MFP is pretty accurate when it comes to determining calories burned. I'd look into invest in a decent HRM...I know I'm probably going to buy a whole new one instead of just a new strap. I want to try a different brand.

    Alrighy, so today is Day 5 of L2! Haven't done it yet, but I WILL! I went for a 2.75 mile run last night too which felt GREAT! And I plan on going for another run today, not sure the distance though.

    I think this weekend I will do either some bodyrock.tv workouts and/or 30DS. I'm determined to use our gym this weekend!

    Great job everyone! Some of you guys ARE ALMOST DONE!!!

    I'm taking a 2-3 day break :( After the first day of level three my knee threw a tantrum and I am giving it a little time off. But I'll get back to it! I'm still working at the barn so I am up and moving.

    How extensive are the workouts, I have the beginner circuit 6 and this works for me right now as I am training for a 1/2 marathon in October. I do not want to over commit because in my book this leads to failure and I do not want to experience that right now. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

    D26L3 is done! Yay!! Almost there!! :bigsmile:
  • Does anyone else find Level 2 to be very tough the first day, but by day 2 and 3 it's lame? It seems it only works out your legs and arms the most and kinda misses your abs. I felt level 1 did more abs than anything so I'm hoping when I begin Level 3 tomorrow it'll be much better. I've gained over a pound (scale says so and so does how my tummy looks!) and I don't like it!

    I guess it depends on how fit you are. It's definitely a workout for me, but now I'm usually recovered in an hour or so. You could try doing it with heaver weights and focus on the resistance as opposed to the cardio.

    30DS Day 27. L3D7 - DONE!

    You know, I didn't do it this morning, and I didn't do a hard walk (just strolling) and felt like crap all day-even left work a little early because I was just feeling bleh. But now... now I feel good. I guess my body has gotten addicted to the exercise and I was suffering withdrawal symptoms!

    30DS Day 28. L3D8 - DONE!

    Two more Days of Jillian. I've started c25k - day 2 today, and I'm going to concentrate on my arms/core on the off days so I can work on my chin-up challenge after this. Not sure if I'll have time to do the ripped in 30 on 9/1 but we'll see how I feel then.
