    I plan on taking a rest day, either Sat. or Sun. whenvever Chicago weather allows me to take my 1 1/2 mile walk on the local bike paths.

    I started walking this summer and really enjoy it.

    I am trying for every day. I know its good to let your muscles rest, but since this is my third time attempting the shred I know what happens when I take a break...I never start back up. I never made it to day 4 which I finished today and I think putting those thoughts out of my head about resting has helped. Now everyone is different, so Im definitely not knocking those that take days off, its personal preference. What matters is that we all finish! Good luck to all!!

    My motivation has been slowly going downhill too. I am just tired. I think if I stopped getting up so early, I would feel better. Today will be day 10 for me. I know I can't quit now, so I will do it...but it is taking all I have to do it. :/ I think what keeps me motivated best is coming on here and reading what everyone else has posted. I feel more accountable doing it with a group. And I am hoping that if someone doesn't see me post, they will call me out on it. :) If you feel comfortable enough to continue with level two, that is what I would do. You can do it!

    STAY WITH US! It is clear that everyone has their own approach to this. Everyone is at a different level.It almost kills me to get through level 1 with intensity but then I hear about these amazing women who do other workouts or exercise activities on the same day! We can get through this together! Incidentally, there are 31 days in October and I think I will be well into November before I "officially complete" the 30 Day Shred. But I don't intend to give up SO Let's do this together! COME ON!

    I would just start up where you feel comfortable! If it's only been 3 days I would stay to stick with Level 2 since you were already there. Also, I know everyone goes by 10 days per level but I wouldn't worry about that. Go at whatever level you feel you can handle and move up when you feel ready. If it's too easy for you, it's time to move on!
    Anywho, We believe in you! :) Once you get back into it you'll be good, Missing 3 days is nothing.. it's when you just stop it all together is when it's no bueno :)
    Good Luck!!

    I haven't been doing nor do I plan on doing it 30 days straight. I have other work outs I enjoy that I put in the mix and someways I take a rest. Your body needs recovery days. Jillian doesn't expect people to do this in thirty days, that's just a marketing thing. Obviously some people want to do it that way, more power to them, but I plan on taking one or two rest days a week. Stick with it!
