    Feel like a wimp, but today was day 3 for me. Things are getting a bit easier but by the 3rd circuit I'm still ready to die. Also, I can't stop saying "simple but effective" in my everyday life...hahaha.
    Anyone else? :)

    I sometimes do these old Shape workout videos and they have the BEST (slash funniest) quotes..."only 16 reps and I got a butt blast on that one!" "It's a total body workout! We're not building bulk at all!"

    Have a great weekend everyone <3

    I took yesterday off from 30DS as well (which would have been day 6), and I did a 3 mile run instead. I have a different work schedule on Fridays (working at 6am instead of 7am), so I'll be taking every Friday off from 30DS. I like completing the shred in the mornings before work, and of course the time will vary on the weekends! I definitely think it's fine to take a day off! I also weighed myself this morning and lost 1.5 lb in the past week---YAY! :happy:
  • I completed Day 6 a few minutes ago. Tired, but happy that it's done. Looking forward to rest the whole evening and tomorrow as well.

    Day 9 today...

    I was completely dying for the first three days, even hobbling up and down the stairs at work cause my thighs hurt so much. I haven't been sore since Day 5 now, and I kinda miss it. I can do the cardio no problem now, but the strength stuff is still really difficult - I SUCK at push-ups and have to do the side lunges with baby weights or I'll fall over...

    Thinking about moving up to Level 2...but kinda scared. I've read that there's lots of plank moves, which will hopefully make the place where my abs ought to be feel like it's on fire....(:

    just got done with day 4 and it was pretty easy. I think I might do 1 or 2 more days of level 1 and move up. :happy:

    Completed day 5 today, with taking the weekend off. I really think that I will do 5 days in a row and take 1 day off. It was hard getting up this morning and working out with 2 days in a row off. I weighed myself this morning but did not loose anything. But I have noticed that my clothes are getting looser on me. I keep telling myself that I am gaining muscle and loosing fat, but it would be nice to see the scale move alittle.

    I posted something about this on my profile - but I only lost 1.4 this past week. However, according to my body fat % - I've lost 3 pounds of fat (which is what you want to lose anyway, right?). And I've lost mad inches this week... so I must be holding onto water and building muscle. I use an omron hand held to get my body fat % - but my recommendation for anyone who can afford the $20-30 would be to get one (or a similar device) - so that you can get a pretty solid picture of how much FAT you're losing, especially during a period when you're working on toning/building muscle :)

    3 pounds of fat?! That's AMAZING!! Keep up the good work! Maybe I need to get one of those omron things...
    I haven't gotten on the scale since Friday, but I'm a little scared that I did some serious damage with game-day drinking this weekend. Why is it so hard to be sober when all your friends are not? Gah, football season.
