30 Day Shred - 08/08/11

Pidders89

Started again yesterday!

Welcome Wings! (monkeys and wings = Wizard of Oz flying monkeys) Glad to have you Shredding with us.

Monkey ~ How did your date night go? Did you stick to your meal plan?

Doing snack shack duty again tonight. Numbers have dropped dramatically and the club gave me a key after my first night! LOL but I can't forget my snack tonight!! I was in charge of the hot dogs and popcorn machine last time and man, those hot dogs looked really good after 2 hours. There's no fear of eating popcorn in public ... I can't stand the feel of the skins (husks?) in my teeth (wouldn't be able to floss).

Hubby's alarm didn't go off this morning, the dog woke me. So I will be Shredding earlier than normal today, and maybe a nap.

Hey

Date night was great thanks and yeah i stuck to my meal plan...it was delicious
Good luck with snack shack tonight im sure you will be fine

Ok, double of Level 1 and sweating like crazy! Even though this is the second time around, its still hard work. LOL But that's the whole point of it all, yes? I've got to finish my water, shower, drink protein shake and get ready for snack shack duty. You all have a wonderful day and keep moving! XOXO

I started the 30ds level 1 today. Funny thing is I forgot I even had the dvd. I had to stop once to get a sip of water, but made it through. I used 3lb weights, seemed heavy. I am looking foward to seeing results! (hopefully by Oct. 1st, my hubby has a work golf tournament and he wants me to wear skimpy shorts, I want to wear them too and look good in them! Note to self: need a spray tan, summer was not nice to me)

Welcome Beefcake! You will lose inches and tone by Oct if you do it daily. Keep posting here and we will all cheer you on.

yeah sorry its coz it wont let me delete it in work, i didnt actually eat the ham as it tasted really rubbery so i put 0 slices instead because i cant delete when in work xxx

statia152

Monkey ~ Its 9 pm here (2 am there?) so you're in bed. Understand the ham thing now. Too tired to eat much, so just had half a peanut butter sand only because I needed hi cals. Tired from the snack shack ... taking a shower and headed to bed. Sweet dreams everyone! XOXO

I don't eat much of Indian / Thai food, but couldn't you ask for the sauce on the side? Of you could do a double 30DS tomorrow?

Its just 8:30 and having coffee. My ribs are sore, must be from doing extra side crunches (which I don't log). I've noticed my arms are toning up nicely, but Jillian doesn't do any triceps moves. So I started doing tri-curls and stuff about 2 weeks ago. It must take longer to tone / build triceps than biceps, cuz I don't see much difference. Hoping to firm those "bat wings" a bit. Does anyone else do extra for their triceps??

Monkey didn't post it here, but she lost 3 pounds since her last weigh-in!! I'm so proud of her and her accomplishments. I can't wait to see her before / after pics.

I didn't do my 30DS yesterday because of the combo of the weather and those extra crunches (opposite armpit to knee). It felt like I had been hit by a truck! Hurt to breathe cuz my ribs were so sore. But I'm feeling so much better today, so back to doing my doubles. Everyone have a wonderful day. XOXO

I did this exercise to firm up my "bat wings" that involved a stretch band over a door. I don't know what it was called, but you basically attached the middle of the band to the top middle of the door and then sat on a chair with your back to the door and pulled the bands down to your sides as far as you could.. It really firmed up my triceps.... I'm sure there are a million variations, but this one worked for me.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will get myself a band and start tomorrow!

Hi everybody! Congratulations Monkey!! Whhoooo!! Can't wait for the pics. What are the plans for the weekend? I did my shred today and yesterday. Unsure about the weekend cause I am going out of town.
Statia- Hope you feel better!

statia152

Thanks JoiMichele, I am much better today. Double L1 D4 done and some walking time as well. I have a yoga class tonight, so I'll be adding those cals burned too. Hubby and band have gone to a private biker's party, didn't want me going with such a tough crowd. So I might meet up with friends after class. But I am worried about the party getting "out of hand" and the cops showing up. Twenty years ago, I'd have gone with him. Love those bad boys on Harleys!!! Vvrrooommmm

Hiya all.
Just joined the site today and also started L1 D1 on the 30 day shred.
Never tried to lose weight properly before but this time I really do have to get it off.
Looking forward to seeing some results.

statia152

Welcome Jayne! You are going to love the results of doing 30DS, it melts the inches away!! Keep posting here, so we can cheer you on. Many have joined in the beginning, but so few actually do the 30 days. I think there are 3 of us who are really committed to doing this (just a few days into our second time). JoiMichele and Monkey are great inspiring people who will help you in any way, as will I. If at all possible, take photos and/or measurements so you can really see the results. And don't worry if you need to do some of the modified moves, I still do modified and the inches still melted away. Happy Shredding! Talk to you later. XOXO ~ Statia (sounds like Stay - sha)

Hi Statia.
Thanks for the welcome.
I have never really tried to lose weight before as I was always "happy" with myself but I am determined to do this.
I love Jillian and am currently watching all the Biggest Loser usa episodes and they have really got me motivated.
My problem will be, I think, staying motivated so posting here will be a great help.
Thanks again for the welcome.
I'm off now for day 2 of level one if my armpits and boobs will allow me as that's where I'm feeling it today after day 1. Lol.

Hey welcome we r all really supportive here so feel free to come chat anytime xxxx

statia152

Well, its been quiet on here this weekend. I ate a bagel with ff cream cheese and a bit of jam ... Ugh! I paid for it hours later. My tummy really hurt! Then as the day went on, the pain got lower. Hard to believe a bagel could ruin a beautiful Saturday! I don't want to have these issues when I decide to eat something that isn't whole grain. I guess I need to incorporate small amounts of these things into my diet every few days? So ... no workout yesterday. But two sessions today and I'm off to get some groceries.

Hi there,
I have done Level 1 of 30-Day Shred for the past 2 days after discovering it on Exercise TV on Demand. What heaviness of weights are you using? I tried 5 lbs. and that is very challenging for many of the exercises, but I don't know if the 3 lb (the lower weight I have) will make enough impact.
I also have a set of 8 lb ones.
Also, how many days should you do level one until moving on to Level 2? I assume it's supposed to be 30 days with no rest days. Exercise TV doesn't have an explanation, just has the Level 1 and Level 2 videos (which is nice because it's free and you can buy it later if you decide the program is for you before they take it off of On demand.
Thanks for any help.
Nicole

Hi all! Finally back from a long weekend. I didn't do my shred Saturday but I did run and shred today. I had a hard time staying on track with calories though. How did everyone else do?
Welcome to all the newbies on this thread. I am so excited you all have started the shred. This is the right place to come for motivation. Statia and Monkey keep me going. I feel like I will let them down if I don't stick with it!
Statia you asked about triceps? Here are some sources you can use:
