    This challenge is easy for me since that's what I started doing last week anyway. :bigsmile:

    Then that's cheating-- TRESA, NICKY'S CHEATING !!!!

    How can it be cheating!? I didn't know what the challenge would be! :laugh: :laugh:

    Well if the measuring requires a weigh measurement I can't do that, I don't have a scale. And the town that I work in (I live 10 miles out in the country), doesn't have a store that sells such a thing (there's only 1000 people here, not very many stores in town). But for the cup measurements I can do that, I's gots cups.

    But I can log everything before I eat it, except breakfast, cause I log that after I get to work and have faster internet. I do eat the tons of fruits and veggies so that won't be a problem.

    Are we suppose to keep up with the abs too?

    I don't have a food scale either, Anna ... measuring is fine! I bought a cheapo food scale at WalMart and ended up pitching it in the trash because it wouldn't weigh anything the same twice. :grumble: As long as I'm having success with my measuring cups & spoons, I'm not going to sweat getting a food scale.

    Thank goodness. I don't have a food scale either but am managing fine with my measuring cups and spoons.

    But, I'm going to work through it. I didn't have enough water today, so I'm going to head there and fill 'er up.

    Ok, I'm off to the elliptical and some ab work & push-ups. I hope it doesn't keep me awake tonight ... just got back from church (where we ate dinner ... that ended up being a very LIGHT dinner because I still have 350 calories to eat and I've already logged my usual bednight snack!

    Later taters....

    I think next weeks challenge should be extending our workouts... and it's totally not because tomorrow I'm bumping my workout time from forty five minutes to an hour and a half (30 min cardio, 30 min weights and 30 min at the water cooler). :devil:

    Don't be disappointed! Be motivated! You didn't finish the level 1 but you did as much of it as you could! You didn't sit on the couch you did SOMETHING. Good for you!

    Just keep plodding away and soon enough you'll be doing it no problem.

    A true test of strength is not someone who only does things they can do easily... but someone who faces and confronts the things they 'can't' do! :bigsmile:

    Dana 30 day shred is HARD!!!! I had to fight my way through it the first couple of times. Then I said what the heck let me try level 2 and man make sure level one is easy before you move to level 2. It is really HARD!!

    Sam is right, 30 Day Shred is incredibly hard! I threw up after I did it the first time! No kidding!

    It'll get easier as you go. Right now I'm trying to work on my upper body strength so that it's a little easier for me.

    Yesterday was good. I measured my lasagna and logged everything.

    Here's what I did for working out:

    1 set 5 "girlie" push ups (Failure)
    1 set 8 "girlie" push ups (Failure)
    1 set 3 "girlie" push ups (Failure)

    2 sets of 15 regular crunches
    2 sets of 15 regular crunches with 5 lbs weight (failure)
    2 sets of 15 reverse crunches
    2 sets of 15 bicycle crunches
    2 sets of 13 bicycle crunches (failure)

    and 2 sets of 15 of this:

    Hold a 5 lbs weight, sit on your butt with your knees bent, lift your feet off the ground and twist, touching the weight to the floor twice, and twist to the other side touching the weight to the floor twice, repeat.

    Those last ones are killer!

    Anyway, got a pretty good strength work out in yesterday. I really want to work on my push ups cuz doing the 30 day shred I can't keep up at all an I want to so I'm putting extra effort into it. :bigsmile:

    Didn't get my veggies in though. I got close!

    Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!

    Welcome to the Black Team ! :drinker:

    As for the 30 day shred, Jillian says it on there, at your own pace, so what if you can't fly through it, soon you will be.
