    Another day of level 2. I almost didn't do it. I took the last 2 days off because I wasn't feeling well so even though I was exhausted, I knew I should not take another day off so I pushed through. My body feels like it is fighting something off so it was extra hard. One day closer.....

    Groan.... yes... and I can barely type my arms feel like noodles... agggghhhh. I didn't get home until 9:45 PM and I STILL made myself do that. ONE WEEK to go!!!! That's right, just 7 more days for me! Tonight I made it through the horrific plank rows with leg raises--both sets--without having to go to the "beginner" mod! Progress!
  • I wasnt going to today because i was involed in a car crash this morning (some idiot ran a red light and i couldnt stop in time) and now have an achey shoulder thanks to my seat belt. BUT i decided screw it ive just got to get up and try it if it hurts i'll just not use the weights or just do it with one arm, at least i will be doing something and i made it all the way through! Level 2 day 3 complete.
    so proud of myself right now :smile: , normaly would have just written today off and not have bothered.

    Thank you for this!!!
    I haven't done 30ds in over 3 days and I wasn't planning on doing it!! I had no excuse I guess I just didn't want to do it because I'm not seeing the results that I have in the past!!! So now I'm off to do it and thats because of you!!! =)
  • I read this thread whenever I feel like I can't be bothered working out to get myself motivated.
    Happy i can return the favor

    So after a few days off I finished Day 8 level one and I feel great. The only problems I have now are the Jump Ropes and I dont see myself getting better at that for awhile!! It puts alot of strain on my knee so I'm trying to find another alternative until I can get them done without it killing me!

    I read somewhere and it could've been here but I've been having alot of troubles with the lunges and someone told me to start with the opposite leg to see if that helped and you know what; I finished them all without stopping!!!! =D

    Hi, I am new here. I am at Day 8 of Level 1. I actually joined two other 30DS Groups here on MFP at the beginning of the month... but no one else seems to post much on them any more and I would really love a group with daily check-ins.

    I have not missed a day since I started, but I have had 2 days when I wasn't up to the full intensity and didn't use weights.

    Knee still not working with me. I really felt bad for not doing any workout yesterday, i wanted to do weights sitting down and lying on my back so i dont affect my knee, but my daughter refused to sleep till 10. Today i will make sure she sleeps early so i can lift weights. I miss Jilian so much but id rather nurse the knee than to force myself to workout

    I hope your knee feels better. i know how it feels to have something like that sideline you!!!
    Listen to your body, there were a couple of days I had to take off because my knee swelled up like a melon! (Normal for me when the weather drastically changes)......
    Don't be so hard on yourself , take care of yourself and when your ready just press play! =D

    I hope your knee feels better soon. Just don't push it. Listen to your body. We all need to take a break. You are doing great.

    Thanks for the welcome. :)

    Day 9 of Level 1 done today! Just one more day of Level 1...
  • Day 1 of level 2 DONE! It was very challenging but i pushed through. When the cooldown came i said "Is that it, lol". Was expecting the worse.

    Day 10 level 1 complete and day 1 level 2 complete and I'm honestly very excited for level 2. I think I'll see more progress with this level!!!
    I haven't really weighed myself this week because when I stepped on the scale I had gained 4+ lbs from the last time I weighed, and I had my TOM but normally that doesn't play a huge roll but I think a combination of that and water weight was my problem. I'm back up to drinking my 6+ glasses a day and I'm starting to see the numbers drop back down and I don't feel so crummy!!!

    Well, I did day 3 of Level 2 this morning. It kicks my butt and I think I like it! It took a lot to get me motivated to do it this morning, becuase it really pushes me, but I can actually do the exercises. That feels good! Yes, it's difficult, and I won't lie, I had to take a breather twice. Once during the push-up/plank/jumping jacks and once during the 2nd double jump rope. I got a side ache that wouldn't let up during 3rd circuit cardio. It about killed me. Poor breathing patterns. I'll have to pay closer attention to my breathing while doing cardio going forward.

    One thing I have noticed for me is that level 2 exercises have bothered my lower back. Not like it is injured, but like my back is too tight during the workout and then sore all day. So, this morning, during warm-up, I did those hip circles that she did in level 1 that she did not continue for level 2 warm-ups. It seemed to help during the workout, and I don't feel sore right now, so I hope it did the trick. I'm going to try it again tomorrow.

    I'm down 6 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks, so that is progress in the right direction. Haven't taken my measurements, but I will soon and hope to see some results there as well. I definitely feel stronger, especially in my core and my arms and I feel much tighter and my clothes aren't as uncomfortable.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their day today and you are all pressing onward and upward!

    Well level 2 is now complete. I didn't lose much weight this past week, nor inches, but I will weigh in again in the morning for my original weigh in day. But I did take more pictures and I can see a differance from the first day I started 30ds until now. I haven't decided if I want to post them yet or not.
    I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Day 10 of Level 1 done, guess I will move on to Lvl 2 tomorrow

    OK, have to share... I usually exercise in a pair of XL track pants. I love them for the treadmill but they are kind of in the way for the 30DS. I like Jillian's no-nonsense sweats so I looked for a pair at the thrift store (I am pretty broke). I found some that looked new, kind of like the style she wears. I thought I would go for the "L" instead of XL and when I tried them on... I'll be honest - they do not look great but they fit. Sweats should be loose and these are a bit clingy. I got them anyway because they are comfy and I do the 30DS behind closed doors so no one will see me. Point of the story: When I got them home I looked at the tag again and they are a MEDIUM! OK, they don't look good yet but they are wearable and I don't know when I have said that about an M. I mean, I know they are sweatpants but I am still pretty stoked and I will be wearing them for all my 30DS workouts until they look good enough to jog around the block in. :)

    Whoohoo thats great you finished level 2!!!
    You might not see anymore weight loss in 30ds but you will deff see some changes in your body and that is just as amazing if not more than the numbers on the scale!!!

    I hope you have an amazing day with your daughters.
