    Did level 1 again this morning and it was much harder today. More than likely the Krispy Kremes I had for breakfast and not drinking enough water yesterday. Got to get with it.

    Just went and got my ankle weights. 10 lbs adjustable! And decided to get a pair of 8 lb hand weights. I have been doing 5 lbs. Excited and a little nervous about working out with these tonight. Just hoping I can stick with the advanced moves with the higher weights!

    Awesome! I need to get some too just not sure when I can get out next. I don't live near anything so have to wait until I need to get out for groceries.

    Wow I have never been so impressed than I am around all you hard working ladies :D Unfortunately my week didn't take the turn I was hoping for. I had to go walking out of necessity for job hunting and walked an insane 9 miles yesterday basically straight and was hurting when I got home :( (who knew walking could be so dangerous lol) Then today I had to do another walk which was only 5 miles but I'm feeling it so have taken a mini break from KBT, the thought of doing it makes my legs scream! So hopeful all well tomorrow I will get back on and push for more advance moves with weights but no ankle weights for me at this time :)

    @sweetwater I am craving Krispy Kreme now but none in sight where I live :(

    My WORD, those ankle weights look super tough! I don't even know if I could walk with 15 lb ankle weights on.

    I've been bad again yesterday and ate too much. Darn you Krispy Kreme for being so good!!! I've got to get back to eating better if I'm going to do this. Back to level 1 for me today. I am still really sore from level 3 the other day. Probably should have done level 2 more before moving up. Probably need to pick up some sort of ankle weights next time I'm out. My butt hasn't felt the burn yet. I've been sore in my thighs and other places but not my butt yet.

    I gave into poppycock today instead of the fruit I brought with me...And sugar goes straight to my thighs.... Grrrr!

    If you are not feeling your butt make sure you are squeezing isometrically. Also, a lot of women, especially quad dominant women like me, have trouble activating glutes. Try stretching out your quads and then doing the glute bridge or other glute activation exercise (google them) before beginning the DVD. Hope that helps

    I'm bad at weeks, are we switching over to level 2 today or tomorrow? I am going to try to do level 1 in the am and level 2 in the pm. That way I will have 7 level 1s I think? Dreading it but it will earn me a rest day in the middle of level 2, which it sounds like I'll need! I do advanced for everything except the side plank, it hurts my shoulders but I will try.

    Thanks for the stretching tip! I am only on Week 1 Level 1 Day 3. I am planning on doing each level for 10 days, the 1st 5 w/o weights and the last 5 with weights, then I'll move on to Level 2. I am doing all the advanced moves as well except for the side planks, my shoulder isn't at 100% yet. You're working hard, keep it up!!

    Week 2 Day 3 Level 1 complete. It feels really good to take off those ankle weights after you work out! They make such a difference to workout in.. Good luck today, everyone. Stay motivated!

    Way to work Susan! I never thought I would be looking forward to adding weights but, I am so eager to see the change in my body.
