30 Day Shred-ish

Options
I have made it to level 3, day 5 and I decided that I've reached a level of contempt for Jillian and can't keep going. Plus, my knees won't let me. I wrote a blog post about our break-up so I won't go into it here. (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/CrazyDaisysMommy/view/jillian-and-i-have-decided-to-see-other-people-221716)

But I am so pleased with my results, so I'm going to give credit where credit is due! 30 Day Shred gets results. The part that I'm super excited about is that I finally broke the 200 barrier. I've been stuck for weeks, and even though I saw changes with the tape measure, the scale continued to mock. Then yesterday morning it felt like the scale threw me a suprise party! I had to step off and get back on: 198. It felt One-derful!! So even though the 30DS isn't for me, I think it's a fantastic way to jump start a fitness habit. Next up is a 30 day Vinyasa yoga challenge. Can't wait! In the meantime, here are my results:

I started on 2/2/2012:
Weight: 204.6
Neck: 14.5"
Chest: 41"
Natural waist: 35.25"
Belly button: 41.5"
Hips: 45"

As of today
Weight: 198 (-6.6 lbs)
Neck: 14" (-0.5")
Chest: 39" (-2")
Natural waist: 34" (-1.25)
Belly button: 39" (-2.5")
Hips: 43" (-2")

My "before" pictures are ready to go, but I'm going to wait until I finish my yoga challenge for the "afters." Good luck to all the Shredders out there!

    Each level gets easier around day 6, so hang in there! Which I realize sounds hypocritical seeing how I didn't hang in there...:blushing: But I remember kind of liking level one when I got to the end of the week.

    haha I read your blog and loved how you wrote about your break up with JM. Good blog. I finished 30ds and am continueing it each day still, guess I like rough love/hate relationships. Your results seem great! That crazy lady does demand results.

    Hope you get carded at 40, and not just by a greedy waiter ;)

    I try to like Jillian and I just can't do it...I've started and stopped the 30DS a couple of times because I get to the point where I want to channel the fear that's leaving my body and use it to pummel her.

    You ladies just made me laugh-snort. I think pummeling Jillian Michaels is a common fantasy.
