    So sorry to hear that hgellings! I know L2 is kicking my butt hardcore too. Be careful and only do what feels comfortable for you. I know it is frustrating not being able to do what you had planned on, but try to keep your head up. Do what you can and don't overdo it. You don't want to not be able to enjoy your vacation because of your back!

    Thanks! I was so excited to start level 2 and here I am injured. After hurting my back before and being down for a good month at least, I'm so mad:mad: ,frustrated:explode: , and sad:sad: to be back in the same position. I also know how much pain I was in and do not want it to get to that severity again so I will be smart and take a few days off until I'm at least 90% again.

    L2D6 (day 16) - Done.
    Today I switched up to 5lb weights for everything but the v-raises. Those stayed at 3lb and it helped me finish them w/o wimping. I think because it seemed like less effort.

    16 Days down and I think I'm going to have to switch to doing this every other day, if I can do that at all. During my 3 mile run yesterday I started to feel some pain in my foot/calf but ran through it. By evening I was limping around. Even after ice and stretches it is still pretty sore today. Running is more important to me than 30 DS especially seeing as my first race is only 21 days away. So I'm thinking I am going to slow down on some of these workouts and switch to some lower impact ones like swimming and biking.

    I completed Day 15 L2 today. Halfway done! I had two days off because I was out of town. Glad I was back at it today because it would have been easy to skip today and then not get back to it today. It was hard after the break, but I know tomorrow will be better.

    Day 15 Level 2 done! I'm pumped that I can finally do all of the plank poses Natalie style without taking any breaks. I switched to 1.5 weights for the v-raises because my arms would fall off otherwise. But WOAH those planks kill my shoulders. Halfway done today!!!

    Level 2/ day 16 completed with less sweat. I am going to miss level 2 by Thursday. I took a little peak and cardio will be with weights, jumping jacks. I am getting a little pack on my abs,, miniature 6 pack. (Is there such a thing; 0))!


    Good luck everyone. I am cheering for all of your, great commitment. FINISH STRONG!

    Best,
    Rosie

    D15L2 done... halfway there!! Woohoo! I've put back on 2lbs that I lost, but I've been pretty bad about my sodium intake and not getting enough water. So I'm trying really hard to watch the sodium and increase the water consumption, hopefully by Friday those 2lbs will be gone again :o)

    D13L2 done! I ALMOST didn't do it this morning! I slept in and didn't really get the greatest sleep last night, but I figure since I'm up, I may as well do it before work. Then I'm sure we'll play volleyball or ultimate frisbee at work today too.

    I'm improving on L2, slowly by surely! But, I don't think I'm seeing any results yet :ohwell: I don't know though, I haven't measured myself recently. I have measurements from 2 months or so ago, which I'm 97% sure they were the same when I started 30DS. I think I'll take some measurements today and see where I'm at. If nothing at all, at least my fitness level is getting better! And that's the most important :smile:

    I did Level 3 yesterday. It was Day 16 for me. Halfway there! I liked Level 3 more than Level 2. There are certainly things that are challenging to say the least, but it was a nice change of pace, and it definitely kept my heart rate up! I don't miss the chair sits with V-raises from level 2, that's for sure!

    Jillian says during level 3 that you should be starting to see your abs. Ha! It'll take me months for that. I am glad I've stuck with it, though, and so proud of everyone else who has, too!
