    W3D6, completed! I still think I might do another couple days of week 3. Its been hard for me to stay at their pace on some of the exercises. Definitely a hard week, but I want to feel good about going on to week 4, and feel like I need to do a couple more days of week 3.

    Just a suggestion:
    when there is an exercise that I am not able to do well, or not do many of, I switch to something we HAVE done in a previous week or from the 30 Day Shred that I know I can complete the rest of the time with. So at least I am doing something and not standing there waiting. I know it is not the same as doing what they are on the DVD, but I feel better doing this than nothing at all.

    Very nervous/excited/scared for Week 4. Part of me is anxious to see what it's like and the other part is NOT wanting to be done! What next? I don't want to be finished!!!!!!!! I need to be researching what to do after this challenge, anyone have a suggestion? I would love your input!

    I substitute sometimes, too, especially if it's jumping during cardio -- too hard on my knees. I agree with you -- just keep moving!!!!

    I was thinking after completing Ripped that I'd keep doing it but in a circuit of the weeks, like:

    Mon Week1
    Tues Week 2
    Weds Week 3
    Thurs Week 4
    Fri Week 1
    Sat Week 2
    Sun Rest
    Mon Week 3
    Tues Week 4
    and so on.... I just need variety. I also have Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism which is a longer workout. Thinking I might do that. What's :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: everybody :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: thinking??? What's next???

    Week 3 Day 1! Yay, no more Week 2! Killer Killer Killer but I love it so much more. Hooray for Week 3.

    And since today is the beginning of the new week I took my measurements.

    So far I've lost 3.6 pounds and 9.25" off the various spots I measure!

    Sixteen more pounds to go, though :)

    W2D6 DONE!!!! So ready for week 3 :) I got a lovely compliment on my legs today while I was doing laundry. I smiled so hard because I used to hate my legs growing up. They were big an unshapely-atleast to me. They are still big but have visible muscles without me having to flex :) Just had to share. :bigsmile:

    Day 3 of Week 3 done. had a rest day yesterday.
    It's always harder after a rest day I find.
    Still not easy but Level 3 seems to go quicker I think, before I know it I'm on circuit 3!
  • D5W3 - 19 days complete !

    I know this is going to sound crazy but i think i'm starting to fall in love with the workout for week 3. It REALLY works all of those areas that I never seem to work out enough. I might just stay on this level for a couple extra days because its so awesome. lol I haven't decided yet. I realized i was suppose to rest today but i forgot. ha. I cant believe its almost the end of RIT i feel like we just started lol

    Day1 Week 3. This workout seemed really short to me for some reason but it still kicked my butt. Oh and have to thank my awesome brother for buying me the Jillian Michael's Ultimate Dumbbell set : )

    I have noticed it too in my legs. It came from the Hard-work doing a lot of lunges. Thats just mean JM's workout is working.I Love wearing shorts now.

    Wanted to check out some of the other videos that would be on that 30 day challenge list so in addition to Ri30 I did some of No More Trouble Zones. Sheesh, that is NO joke. That video has almost no cardio but I was sweating like crazy. Even my socks are sweaty! Eeeww! But I know I'll be feeling it tomorrow and will definitely work that DVD into my rotation.

    Keep ripping y'all!!

    Day 4 Week 3 done!
    I think JM would kick my butt if she could see me doing these exercises! My form must be terrible but I do quite like Week 3, I am living in fear of Week 4 though!

    Trying to get motivated to workout today. Kind of hit a rut the past couple days, not making the best food choices and totally slacking on my workouts. Skipped yesterday so going to try to do 2 workouts today to make up for it.
