    Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, don't forget to stretch.

    Ooof.. Yeah i need to stretch. I wound up taking a nap after doing my things I needed to get done and I woke up and back down I went. Knees are not my friend at the moment.

    Thanks for the reminder hun!

    Just a question for everybody. Do you do the shred in the morning, afternoon, or evening and why? I normally wake up for work at 4:30 and don' t want to get up any earlier but after the first workout (that nearly killed me) I'm starting to think I should do it in the morning just to get it over with. I don't get home from work until 5:45-6:00pm then with dinner and waiting for awhile after I eat would put me at about 7:00-7:30. Ugh, decisions decisions. So let's hear what you do.

    I'm going to try for the morning time since I'm usually up around 5-6 am anyhow. If not then during the week and my scheduled shifts which are from 9 am to 1 pm and from 5 pm to 9 pm it'll be during the off time between 1 and 4 pm.Weekends and off days from work will be in the morning. It's just easier that way.

    Hope that isn't to complicated.. LOL!

    Hey Ladies!

    How are we all doing tonight?

    My knees are omg I hate you hurt hurt hurt.

    I'm hoping another long soak in the tub before bed will help some. I already took one earlier today after workout! Besides what else will I do? I'm still waiting on the bedding to dry. Packed up the summer stuff and now for the warmer sheets and blanket!

    Enjoy your night or morning depending on the time zone. :laugh:

    I am feeling it but I sort of like the feeling. Each time I move I am reminded I got a good workout in this morning.

    I do mine when I can. I am a mom to five girls with a husband that is gone most weeks. So I squeeze in workouts when I can. The morning was better for me today. I did it at night yesterday.

    My goal is to get in a walk while my daughter is in seminary (6 AM) and then get in the 30ds after I get everyone from school. Then I can have the teens do it with me and torture them more too. Hehe

    Just finished day 2. Yay me. I didn't feel like I was going to vomit and I was able to do almost everything they did. If I couldn't do all the jumping jacks I still kept moving. I think it will get better with each day until we move onto the second set where I will once again scream horrible and mean things to all three of those ladies.

    Hang in there everybody. :smile:

    It's not so much screaming at Natalie. She seems alright. Jillian and Anita though well that's another story. LOL! Screaming at them oh yeah most definitely.

    I'm still hating the jump rope.

    Just finished day 2 and I am very hopeful that by the end of this I won't hear my fat slapping when I do jumping jacks. LMAO Seriously embarrassing.

    Oh, and can I say how hard it is to do bicycle crunches with a 2 year old sitting on your stomach???

    Great job today ladies!!! Can't wait until tomorrow.

    The fat slapping is EXACTLY the reason I suggested someone create a sports bra for the belly....... :tongue:

    Ah Donovan just wants to help you !! And this is the reason I need Zoe to fall asleep so I can go do it - the very first time the I did it last month, or I should say the only day I did it..... Zoe sat there staring at me for a while, then got up, started laughing and said : "Mommy, you are sooooo silly ! Whah you doin ??" It kinda made me unsettled to have my 2 1/2 yo calling me silly and laughing at me.....:laugh:

    Ok, I am going to go update my blog with my Day 2 experience...... Have a great night ladies ! :yawn:

    You guys all sound like you're in so much pain!! :(
    This is my 4th attempt at completing the DVD (and WILL this time!) and the only part of my body that hurts (and it's not bad at all) is my right butt cheek, haha. Comparing the first time I started to this time, I feel 1,000x better afterwards.


    It does get better, I promise!!

    I can't pick up my legs. The darn bicycle and reverse crunches do a number on my hips. Any suggestions for stretches for that (other than the pose in my avatar lol)? Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good!

    The boy and I did ours today and there was still much grunting and yelling. My shoulders and I are in a fight. I'm HORRIBLE at pushups and that anterior raise thing, but I think I had done enough work on my legs so that Jillian's stuff isn't killing them. Do you think it's ok if I do C25K at the same time as this? I started it last week and think I have to repeat the first week, but I want to keep both going. I don't think I'll die, but who knows?

    Finished day 2...yeah. My two youngest boys started out doing the workout with me before daddy put them to their bed. And my Shi-tzu Emma was in my face trying to give kisses when I was doing my pushups.

    Day 2 was definitely harder because of the soreness! My legs were screaming at me. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

    Finished Day 2, but had to downgrade from 5 lbs weights to soup cans. Hoping to jump back to the 5 lbs tomorrow.
