!!!SERIOUS SHREDDERS!!! 17TH OCTOBER 2011 :o)

windyweather88

ok so i realised this morning that i just cant do the shred anymore - its boring for me (i've done it more than once already you see) so i've stuck on ripped in 30 this morning instead.

noone minds if i carry on posting on this thread do they?

Doesn't bother me

Shoo.. I have completed D6L1 on Saturday.. Took Sunday off as my knee was a tad sore.. But completed D7L1 this morning. I don't want to fall behind so will attempt D8L1 this afternoon when I get home.

Can anyone help me understand why my one knee is sore only. Is it because of the impact on the exercises or could it be the girl pushups on a tiled floor. It's not unbearably sore or anything. In fact it felt okay when I did the shred this morning but it's still sore now a little.

I'm not sure but just one of my knees hurt also. the left one

Nope, not at all!!! Can't wait to see your results from Ripped. I want to try that one when I'm done with shred

windyweather88

Day 14, Level 2 (Day 8, with you all ) Definitely getting a little better at Level 2.. will probably have to increase the weights. Oh and screw you plank thrusts!

And my left knee is giving me some problems. It's not form; I know I'm doing everything correctly (I've always had crappy knees). I have to take it a bit easier on the jumping jacks during the warm-up and I can't do the double jump rope. Rather annoying because I could do both just fine yesterday (although my knee has been bothering me for at least a week). I'll be icing it twice a day and watching myself on the 2 exercises it hurts during.

I went away this weekend and didn't do any shredding. So I have to catch up 3 days with all of you! I'll double up this week until I've caught up. I think I'm moving on the level 2 today. Wish me luck!

I followed Ripped with 40 mins yoga today, what a workout my whole body feels like jelly now lol!!

and to top it off, i forgotten to take my time sheets into work so just had to cycle the 2 miles uphill (with the toddler on the bike seat) to get them in on time ouch ouch ouch!!

Still got to get my eating in order! and i'm going to the gym tomorrow for the first time in around 5 years!!

ShellGetsFit

YAY finally I figure this out....found the new thread here! Day 5 & 6 done, missed Day 7 will try to do two shots of it today. EIther way I'm back at it today!



I realize in order for the 30 DS to really work wonders you have to pair it with eating well so I'm wondering, what is a typical day look like (food wise) for you? I'm trying to get back on track with my eating after a much over-indulgent summer. 6 lbs put on over the summer=not good!!!! :blushing:

Day 7 Level 1 complete

Quilled

Completed Day 7 of Level 1 last night, so one week in! Going to see if I can double up tonight to get back to 8 days like I started and to start prepping me for level 2.

I have a couple of variations, but this morning for breakfast I had one medium sized egg, scrambled with mushrooms (sometimes I use squash too). I take a piece of 12 grain bread and half it and toasted the half then cut off the crust (hate crust and it cuts down the bread size) and spread peanut butter (super crunchy). I also had a handful of seedless red grapes and a cup of 2% milk. A breakfast like this usually lasts me well into lunch... especially if I have peanut butter that can keep my full for a looong time

For lunch I have a mixture of red lettuce and spinach with grilled lime chicken to go on top and 2-3 dessert spoons of olive oil for dressing.

For mid afternoon snack I have a snack bag of red grapes and a baby banana (its so cute!)


Dinner menu tonight is turkey, I got a turkey breast roast and the leftovers should last me a few days for various other things. The turkey is kind of vague at this point, so I will talk about last nights dinner. I had fish tacos last night. I oven baked a swai fillet until it was perfectly white and flakey, used a fork to shred it into a bowl then mixed in lemon juice and fresh cilantro, served it onto two snack sized tortillas and topped with spinach and avacado

Depends on what your calorie allowance is i suppose, I tend to have a homemade smoothie, bananas mango pineapple and oj, for breakfast, i'll eat a yoghurt at some point, normally a slimming world recipe for dinner and whatever for lunch.

I'm finding the food thing hard right now i've just moved my goals to maintenance so that i dont have to worry about eating back my exercise calories (i have issues with this which normally involves chocolate) so now i'm having to eat more (as i've got a higher calorie goal) so i'd be interested to hear answers too...

mbmorse1011

Well the cold and flu season has arrived. It started Saturday and today my sinuses feel like they are going to explode. I don't know that I'll make it through my workout tonight. I'll have to double up when I feel better. Keep trucking along everyone!

carriann2012

Day 6 for me Level 1. Still sore but getting use to it now and it's getting a little easier for me now. I can't wait to see results because I sure do feel them. :bigsmile:

Leobaby

Ok, I couldn't do the shred on saturday night or yesterday

I change the flooring in all the lower floor so i had to be moving furniture, cleaning, washing curtains and such, lots of work but still wasn't able to exercise properly... I'll be back tonight and i hope be able to catch up next saturday-sunday with a double session every day....

Anyway, I'll be back in a few with the spreadsheet updated!

Let's begin the week with the most fantastic spirit people!

Leobaby

Whew, just finished Day 6 on Lvl 3 still, my fav of the levels. I also included 6 week 6 pack afterwards and burnt more calories with it than the Shred. I will be incorporating that in so most days I will be doing both dvds. If I feel up to it later today ( I mean it is Saturday for goodness sake) I will also do some Leslie Sansone walking.

So, jrhstarlight, you have done Level 3 by 6 times???

melgibson

Whoooop!! :drinker:

I'm pleased to report that I have done my shred already today, my son is off school today, half term break, sometimes this can make it difficult to get my workout in so I made a point to get it done nice and early.
I am still using the 7lbs weights, I have been able to do all the anterior raises with them again but they are still pretty tough the last few really are a struggle but I'm sticking with it as I'm feeling results, I caught myself in the mirror and was nicely surprised to find myself looking a bit more toned in the shoulder and chest area, and only one week in!!! I will keep going with this for now, might move up to level 2 later in the month if I feel I'm not progressing but I think I will actually benefit from doing 30 days of this.

I still have a cold or something, am really struggling with energy, feel like going back to bed, I slept well last night but still feel washed out, hope it passes soon.

I'm doing better with food today but still not perfect, the trouble with me is I have stomach issues so so much is out of bounds at the moment, my stomach has been really bad this last week so I am eating a lot of bread which seems to calm it down.

Well done to everyone who is working their tails off in this challenge, it's great to read all your reports and see how your all doing, lets keep up the good work xxxx :flowerforyou:

msenior

Wow, day 8, level 1 done. I never thought I could do this twice in one day even with TOM. Thumbs up. Gonna have a warm bath and an early night.
Happy Shredding everyone.

fitjunk

D7L1 done

fitjunk

OOppss..D8L1..almost lost a hard days work there!^^^^^

Leobaby

I normally do my workout between breakfast and lunch and decided to wait til after lunch, big mistake. Even though I waited almost 2 hours I was still so full I didn't work out as hard. I followed with a 10 minute ab workout on demand and will do something else later tonight as well. But Lvl 3 Day 7 completed.

jrhstarlight:

Sorry girl, can you help me clarifying this?

So far I got:
Level 1...07 workouts
Level 2...04 workouts
Level 3...01 workouts... are they 7 instead?

Thanks!

Leobaby

Just realized that our thread is now here Day 10 of Shred level 2 today!

Sorry to bother you again mbnharrison:embarassed:

How many you did for Level 1? and for Level 2?

Thanks!

jrhstarlight:

Sorry girl, can you help me clarifying this?

So far I got:
Level 1...07 workouts
Level 2...04 workouts
Level 3...01 workouts... are they 7 instead?

Thanks!

Sorry it took a while for me too see this. You are confused :P I have done the Shred for a total of 14 days
I did 6 days prior to the group starting and today just finished day 8 with the group. Hope that clears it up. I had never clarified what levels I did before the group so I didn't ask you to change it but here is my opportunity

Lvl 1: 6 days
Lvl 2: 4 days
Lvl 3: 4 days I did my 4th day of this workout today so I have completed day 8 with the group but on lvl 3 still

skpresley20

I'm wondering about the eating as well with the shred! So for me, D6 L1 done! Woot

jrhstarlight

ok so i realised this morning that i just cant do the shred anymore - its boring for me (i've done it more than once already you see) so i've stuck on ripped in 30 this morning instead.

noone minds if i carry on posting on this thread do they?

Thats fine with me as well I am also getting bored thats why I jumped all the way to lvl 3 so quickly. This is my second round of it too and find lvl 1 pretty easy and it doesn't get my heart going like the other levels. I have done the other levels more than the 3rd but now after day 4 of it I am also getting bored and not sure if I will go for lvl 3 the rest of the time or back and forth from 2 and 3. I want to make it through the shred straight with no breaks so it will be tough to power through. I have also done Ripped in 30 2x, so not ready to tackle that again any time soon.
As far as nutrition I eat whatever, I have no diet which is my downfall. My typical day is generally cereal for breakfast, lunch is a turkey sandwich with an apple or chips, then at night have tacos or bean dishes, snacks range from fruit to protein bars.

SarabellPlus3

Thanks so much for keeping it together, Leo!
I did my day 6 (all level 1 so far) today, but man, I felt sore! I blame my run last night more than anything, I guess.

As far as boredom goes, I have to thank the poster who suggested turning down the TV volume, and listening to music. Saved the shred for me. It's also good to do other things-- though I'm sticking with J's plan of 10 days each for the most part, I do a lot of other things (yoga, running, spin), and so far, doing something at home instead of the gym hasn't been too boring. Otherwise I might suggest mixing it up by doing level 1, 2, 3, in succession instead of each solidly for 10 days in a row. If you're up to it, that is!

windyweather88

On the boredom conversation... I've done the music while turning the tv down. That definitely helps. But I really try to push myself a little harder each time and really focus on doing the exercises exactly right and making them difficult.

Their jumping jacks are large and explosive. Even having your legs in the right position for some of the abs makes them either a lot easier or a lot harder. Jump higher on jump-rope, squat lower so your legs are really bent at 90 degrees, lift your back just a bit higher during abs....... I definitely don't do all of this all the time, but it keeps me motivated and makes each day a bit more challenging .

RonKay

Day 6 Level 2 done!Thanks Leobaby for keeping up the record!

elissascotland

Thanks leobaby!!

Day 8 done. (I'll ignore what I did before I started with this group)

Today was Day 8, D1L2.

And WOW I could really feel the difference between levels 1 and 2. Lvl1 had become easy, 2 was a real workout for me

Happy shredding everyone
