    Day 4 Level 1 done. Whew. I did notice a slight improvement in my ability today, so that's good news. I could do the push ups without stopping. Modified pushups, but that's a big improvement for ME. :)

    Kudos to everyone for sticking with it! :)

    Completed L1 D6 and 30 minutes on weight loss mode on elliptical. Soaked through with sweat (I know, girls perspire). Whatever, I am soaked.

    Noticed big improvement in cardio today, had to rest yesterday as knee was feeling very full and sore but this morning, it was fine so hence the full workout again!

    Feeling pretty accomplished and I also previewed level 2 while on elliptical...should be a cake walk...........just kidding!

    Level One/Day Three done! I also did 15 minutes on my new eliptical (which that in itself kicked my sore butt!) for some added cardio. A lot more soreness today, but I kind of knew it was going to get worse before it gets better. I just hope my end results are at least close to some I've seen posted on MFP!:smile:

    We missed yesterday and I felt it so bad today. I worked extra hard and pushed through.

    If they start to give you crap tell them to grab some 10 lb weight and do it themselves. They'll see the JM doesn't play around and it's a great workout. A friend of my is an athletic trainer and she swears by this DVD to help keep her in track when she travels.

    I own a reel mower too-they are a great workout! I've got a Fiskars which is easier than most reels but you're still pushing 50lb all over the yard. :)

    Just a little NSV- my measurements haven't changed yet enough for me to tell, but after I changed to go mow and walked past the mirror I noticed my mommy-roll (the bit above my waistline-natural muffin top ) isn't popping out nearly as much as it had been. About the difference of when you hold your stomach in vs out. So something is working! Thanks Jillian!

    Wore my pedometer today and realized that I walked over 10 miles already, and I'm not even done with work yet. A lot of that is up and down stairs too! Whew no wonder I'm tired when I get home!

    Level 1 day 6 done. I got up bright and early this morning for my C25K run before it got too hot, and then did the shred during my lunch hour. It really seems to work out best for me if I do it in that order. On Monday I didn't get the run in until late afternoon, which meant I worried about it all day. I don't think it's a coincidence that I had a terrible time with the shred - I was probably subconsciously conserving energy for later. Today I was invigorated by the early run, had plenty of energy for the shred, and most everything went smoothly.

    I am so proud of myself. Not only did I do Day 6 L1 this morning, I went to my trampoline aerobics class today. I hadn't gone in two weeks because my schedule has been wierd. I could tell my legs were tired during the class, but I could tell the shred has made a difference. I had a much easier time doing the crunches in class and my heart rate was lower throughout the class. This is making a huge difference to me.

    Level 1 day 7 complete. Did tons better on my jumping jacks tonight. I am really starting to feel it in my abs. Not a sore feeling, but a more toned feeling if that makes sense. Saw my friend today who I just saw on Saturday and she says "my you are getting skinny." So something must be working!! Have a great night everyone and good luck tomorrow!

    I second that, I'm really loving Jillian. Every morning I wake up feeling cleansed and one day closer to being in shape!

    Day 6 for me today- it's going quick isn't it?

    Also, what other kinds of exercises, if any, are you guys doing along with this?

    I did my day3 yesterday. It went pretty well. I think I'm going to move up to level 2 after six or seven days, regardless of how I'm progressing, because if I don't, I'm going to be so bored!

    Hope everyone is having a good day. I will weigh in tomorrow. I hope this has been a good week.
