October Shredders!!!!!!!!

kristyalla

Kerri - I struggled through the first half wrt to when to do shred, I was always leaving it until the kids were in bed and it was so late and I felt it hanging over my head until I did it.

I finally found a good time for me, I do it while the kids are eating tea. I have 2 x 2 year olds so I set them up with tea then start my work out, by the end of it they do come and bother me but by that stage I only have 10 minutes left. I then can either have dinner myself or I usually put them to bed and then have a shower and dinner.

This is working well for me and I have missed a lot less days by having a set time to do it. Hopefully you can figure out a time that works for you. I also find some days I feel 'weak' and other times really good, maybe I need a snack before I start?

We forgive you, oh mighty Meghan ! I mean - I REALLY didnt miss the darn mini challenge...... hahaha

But -- can you pls give us a list of each mini challenge leader, and their specific days ? I think I need to friend some of them since dont want to miss these SUPER FUN challenges.... Yes, that was sarcasm.

I must confess as well - I didnt do Day 9 yesterday. OH NO ! So, not I have to catch up either today, or tomorrow, and am DREDDING it !!! I'll see how I feel - and if it's too much - then I think I will just take this to Oct 31st - giving myself a ONE DAY VACATION !!! LOL We'll see. Maybe I will find it in me.... to PUSH IT OUT !! :ohwell:

Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday ! And wondering who has the Mini Challenge today ?

I can't wait to move on to level 2 , only one more night of level 1 yay!!!!!

I feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only person who missed a day! I don't know that I will do two in a day to catch up just because I usually don't get the work out in until after 8:30, and I don't know that I would be up to doing two in a row. I'm thinking that I will use 10/31 as my catch up day. I am going to go ahead and start level 2 tomorrow with everyone else and will just do an extra day of level 3 at the end. Anyone else nervous about starting level 2? I'm afraid I'm going to be as sore as I was at the beginning of level 1.

nixickle

Well done Meghan on your inches lost, that does sound about right! I lost 4.5 inches overall and I missed a few days! So 7 inches is entirely possible! Plus you've not been well!

I managed day 8 today....with 14 push ups!!!! And 40secs on my planks which I did 3 times :-D feeling very chuffed but my back is hurting me now! Hope it eases by tomorrow!

Keep up all the hard work everyone!

Gonna finish up day 10 tonight. Might preview Level 2 so I have an idea of what I'm getting into for tomorrow.

If you look under your topics it's still there, but you can't post on it. I guess we had too many posts ;-)

I did Day 7&8 yesterday and need to do Day 9&10 tonight. If I don't get both in I'm not going to worry about it. I skipped Friday & Saturday, but I got in alot of lifting & walking on Saturday. I was horribly with my food this whole weekend though. I'm trying to get back at it today.

KerriMx5

Good job on your loss.

I have skipped a few days here and there. Although I have worked out those days so at least I wasn't sitting on my tail. Although my walks are not nearly as good at burning cals as the 30 ds. I am working on it.

Just wanted to say good luck to all you brave people who are starting level 2 tomorrow!!

I may be joining you depending on how my neck feels; if it feels OK in the morning, I'll have a go at doing the level 1 I missed today and if I survive that, I'll join you on level 2! It does feel alot better than earlier, but it's not great, I can't move my head to well though I'm hoping a good nights sleep will sort it out. Any problems in the morning though and I'll be giving it a miss again I just don't get how I've been exercising loads and haven't got any injuries, then I stretch in bed and pull a muscle in my neck and I'm in agony for the rest of the day!! :huh:

Oh well! good luck with level 2 guys!!

Bunn11

caught up & did D9 &10 today & progressed from cans to weights -would never have believed doing it twice in one day was survivable 10days ago.

well done ladies you're all doing so great!

Kind of excited about tomorrow but also oh so scared!!:laugh:

poor you! i managed to pull my shoulder carrying my handbag at the end of last week & was soo annoyed & felt soo silly having survived the evil push-ups!

hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:

berv0009

ohhhhhhhh here is the group haha

Day 8 for me today!!!!!!!! I always say I might double up to catch up. But I don't think that is realistic. Maybe tomorrow

great job everyone! Alot of you have lost lots of inches already!!!!!!!!!!

Amber393

How's you all doing today?

I'm doing pretty peachy. I did Level 1 Day 10 today and I went and did it again because well I felt rather salty. Taco Bell definitely not the best choice but I had a craving for a chalupa. Only had half so that's not to bad but I figured it'd make feel better to get in more than once today. Kind of glad I did actually! I'm a nut yeah..:huh:

Now onto Level 2 tomorrow.:noway:

You all are awesomely beautfiul womens and are doing great! :flowerforyou:

Check in later with ya all!

Best of luck everyone starting L2 tomorrow! I'll see you there in a couple of days time! Managed L1D8 today and my back feels a bit sore, but hopefully it's just achy rather than injured! I really put everything into today, I just hope it wasn't too much!

I look forward to hearing all about L2, kind of but not really! I'm very scared about L2!!

Hi! I'm still here! WAY far behind, however. I was not home all weekend (fri-sun) and today was clean-up because apparently I had left the house a mess when I left

Tomorrow, I'm aiming to do two rounds of level 1 putting me at day 6/level1. I would do one tonight but Ive learned in the past that if I workout past 7pm, I'm up until 2am! Which means I'm exhausted all day and nothing gets done. Keeping myself on the safe side and waiting until tomorrow

lloydmel

I think my post disappeared from yesterday; I checked the first 20 pages, but oh well....
Did Level 1 day 8 today ( I decided to count the two I did in one day although I wasn't originally going to).

Has anyone figured out what they are going to be for Halloween?
I am thinking of being Katy Perry... the one where she came onto SNL and had the too tight Elmo shirt on and the catholic girl skirt.... I may not be able to pull it off... but I 'might'

I have some 'la boobies' so why not? lol

lloydmel

Oh, yeah ... what I was gonna say was that I am getting so annoyed by Jillian talking during the workout... and when it zooms in on her, you can tell she needs to shave her underarms... kinda weird considering she must've known she was filming a workout dvd... but ANYWAYS... just really could care less for her... lol...

Hello lovely OS ladies !
It is taking me a little while to type this out, as my arms are back to being Jell-o.... Tonight I redid my push up challenge, since I figured out how to use the stop watch on my phone, did the plank challenge, TRIED the squat challenge but didnt get too far - only 24 before I died. This is just my soul typing. The only challenge I have been able to ace so far has been the WATER !!! YEAY !!

Ok, well - just wanted y'all to know to look out for tomorrow's mini-challenge, since it is MY DAY !!! MWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA evil laugh time....

I will post is on a sep post. Hopefully eveyone is friends with me, and you can see it soon. I will be posting it today as I know last week I sent it out last minute.

xoxoxo to all !
