    D3 L1 completed and my muscles hurt all over! I was so tired today and wanted to skip working out, but I pulled myself together and got them both done (30DS and Turbo Jam). I had a moment when I wanted to break down and cry, but I'm good now. Tomorrow I start work a little bit later so I will try and fit in my 30DS in the morning instead of trying to do both workouts back toback.

    a) L1D3 complete!
    b) I half-*kitten*'d it (didn''t do all of the jumping jacks, and cheated on push-ups) but I pushed through regardless. My hub came into the room when I was half way through the workout to ask about dinner - UGH!!
    c) At tomorrow's workout, I'll make sure I don't get bothered!!
    WTG -- Pushing through! I hate interuptions! My kids have learned that the hard way.

    Great job! I have the same issue with the push ups AND the bathroom seat! :laugh: The second day I didn't want to drink anything because it hurt so much to sit down on it.

    Day 3 week 1 complete. It went pretty well this morning except that my 7 year old son was watching AND critiquing me! Lol!
    The time goes by pretty quickly!

    A. Level 1 Day 3 done!
    B. Not so bad - but the pushups still horrible to do! I remember last time by about day 10 I could do them without dying, so hoping this time it will be the same.

    Are you doing the push ups on your knees? If that is difficult then maybe try doing them against a wall (standing) with your feet out a couple feet from the wall. Then as you build up your strength, move to doing them on something lower...then eventually to the food. OR do them on the floor but set a goal like today I will do 5 reps in each set and tomorrow I'll add one rep. Don't get discouraged!!

    Don't feel bad. I really struggle with the bicycle crunches. I end up doing regular crunches for half the time but each time I am able to do a few more of the others.

    a) Week 1 completed!
    b) I am amazed at how much my endurance and strength have increased in one week! I'm actually enjoying this even though I do struggle through parts of it.
    c) I used 5 lb weights for a couple sets and 3 lb weights for the rest. I'm going to increase the use of the 5 lb weights with each work out until that is all that I am using.

    I have lost 65 lbs over the last 6 months. I have gotten a lot of comments/compliments over that time period; however, over the last 48 hours people have ranted and raved about my weight loss to the point that it is embarrassing. I believe 30DS has made the difference.

    L1D4 completed! It's starting to get easier.... except for the push-ups! I ABSOLUTELY hate them! But I do them the way one person suggested.... I do them standing up, pushing off of the wall. My arms burn so bad and after a while they start to feel like jelly Lol... I wear a HRM while doing the 30DS and I am having a hard time understanding why the calories burned fluctuates so much. For example, the first day I burned @415 calories, but the last 3 workouts I've only burned between 200-250 calories. Anybody else wear a HRM while doing their workout?

    I wear a Body Bugg and I tend to burn between 165 - 200 calories.
