    Day 3 Level 2:

    I wanted to try a new challenge for myself so I am going to mix my levels up because I get bored with this quickly and havent completed this challenges in the past.
    My mind is telling me low, med, high instead of 1, 2, 3 so today was a medium feel good day and I enjoyed level 2 but I dont feel I gave 100 % so I am hopeful to be able to do this again this afternoon when I have more energy to burn. Level 2 isnt that bad if your wondering.

    Another observation: For those of you who are hurting alot, I did a few gentle warm ups prior to Jillians warm ups and by the time I got into circuit 1 with the weights and squats I didn't notice the burn.

    hey bethryn, Im sure you can join in

    Today should be my day 4 but unfortunately my body said "REST" is much needed, so I did some light waist video instead. I will feel better tomorrow and plan on amping it up then.

    DAY 4:
    Had my rest day yesterday and today it was hard to get moving again BUT ...I added an extra few warm up minutes before the dvd started and I took the first circuit slow and focused on stretching it out vs trying to keep up with Jillian....it helped ALOT and by the second circuit I was better.

    Im finding I am having trouble making myself eat enought throughout the day. It almost feels forced.. Anyone else feeling it too?

    Def, i normally find my 1500 is enough, since starting the Shred I am much thirstier but not hungrier particularly. this is where the handful of almonds for 180 ish calories comes in handy. have started treating myself to a bedtime hot chocolate too :) Tomorrow I am going to get my DH to set me up with his HRM so I know exactly what I am burning as opposed to the MFP guesstimate.

    On a running forum I use lots of the women find that a wee run before shredding really helps, I did this today 9well just jogged back from school) and certainly felt much more warmed up

    Day 5 for me today

    I feel its getting harder and I don't seem to have the cardio endurance yet...Im using 3 lb weights and they felt heavier today more than normal.....anyone else feeling this happening. I ate a good breakfast more than an hour before doing the video. I am wondering if I am not an early morning exerciser....I just didnt feel I had enough energy but I did make it through, with difficulty.
