    Shredded 7 days STRAIGHT! Hubby lasted the entire workout this time but whined the the WHOLE time...LOL Going to try not to take a day off until day 30. Have a great week everyone! New month...new me!

    OMG you're a machine...GO GIRL! That's amazing & soo impressive :)

    L1D6 done today...the day off really helped. I did the whole first set of girly pushups..I counted 18 so that's 6 more than on Saturday! Very exciting.

    So my plan is to go to level 2 when I can do EITHER both sets of girly pushups OR both sets of anterior raises with both arms...this could take awhile, kids...

    Jrzeebabie you are doing great! I drink a lot of water during the shred, because heck it's 4:30am and I'm THIRSTY! Plus as soon as I'm done showering I get right to chugging the coffee so it's good to get hydrated first.

    Also, my neck is cool during the bicycle crunches, it's the round 2 obliques that really strain it. It's always been like that, that's why I loooove the benches at the gym that move with you to support your head.

    Karma...BE CAREFUL WITH THAT SHOULDER! I've dislocated mine so many times that now I need surgery. And after shoulder surgery you have to stay upright for 2 weeks straight...7x24! That's right, sleeping sitting up and everything. So take better care than I have ok???

    Thanks! I have not worked out and my shoulder is still killing me! Only Tylenol makes the pain go away...

    I will still "lead" the group but I have to take some time off. I dont want surgery and I have a 2 year old that still needs lugging around! Cant afford to damage my shoulder.

    Good luck ladies, keep up the great work! Stay focused and be my reason to GET BACK ON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

    I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but my belly is not as jiggly anymore...it doesn't beat me up when I jump anymore!

    I mean dont get me wrong its not gone and still needs a lot of work, but its firmer...

    I cant wait to start again....I'm actually sad about not being able to work out...

    Imagine that!

    You are so funny! I was hoping no one would catch that as I am expecting TOM this week and do not want to do that stuff! LOL I just loved how the shred was working and nothing else seemed to take inches off or burn that many calories that quickly! But I will do my best to Wii it out (ya know, instead of work it out!) :laugh:

    Thanks for checking me MMROSE!

    You KNOW we got ya back girllll :)!! I hear you on the TOM, mine started today and I can relate! But in my mind that would mean that e only have 3 weeks out of the month to lose weight if we aren't motivated to do anything the week that TOM is around.. I find that if I push through that week that I feel like doing when TOM is here, then I have GREAT eight loss success when he's out!!

    So let me know what you and the Wii are up too!!! :happy:

    L1D8 FINITO!!! Felt like I could attempt L2 right after I finished L1 because I had quite a bit of energy left...BUT it was CLEARLY just a thought!! I got to the first set of Jumping Jacks in L2 and shut it off... I'll wait! LOLOL

    2 more days on L1!! WOhooo

    8 days straight BABY!!:flowerforyou:

  • Finished L2D1. My heart wasn't in it because I had a bad headache but it's done. I was sweating like crazy but I think it's easier than level one. Or maybe I just wasn't doing the moves right-lol!
  • I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but my belly is not as jiggly anymore...it doesn't beat me up when I jump anymore!

    Imagine that!

    If you are sad a bout not being able to workout maybe you could do the video without the strength training portion? Do the squats but no lifting so that you don't injure your shoulder anymore. If it hurts when doing the crunches then don't move that shoulder either. Just a thought

    You go mmrose! I'll be right there with you after Jack Bauer goes off! I can't miss 24! Congrats on your 8 days straight!
  • I finished D8L1 with much apprehension. It's not that I didn't want to do it, I was just really tired ALL DAY LONG! Maybe I need to go to bed early. EIther way it's done!

    Has anyone realized that they can recite everything Jillian says by now? It's kind of annoying but at the same time when I do say what she's saying then I don't focus as much on the pain. Only two more days of level 1 and then I can learn a new script on level 2!

    Totally why I moved on to level 2! I know I could have stayed in level 1 and improved my form or followed the harder workout o but I got so sick of knowing the lines (in only 10 days!! haha!) that I had to move to level 2.

    D8L1 DONE! I'm kinda anxious for Level 2 to begin because like apatrick said, I'm sick of reciting Jillian, isn't that right buddy? LOL Anyone have that damn porn music in their head the entire day even when they wake up in the morning?! LMAO! Not that I know what porn music sounds like...:blushing:

    Bang out those workouts ladies and I'll see ya in level 2 in 2! :~) For those that are taking a rest from Jillian, stay active even if it's just 30 min on the dreadmill.

    Oh yeah...hubby is hanging in there with me! He goes back to work on Wednesday so I doubt he'll be interested in my shenanigans much longer!

    ugh......finished L1D5 and I am just not feeling it anymore......i had a rougher day today for some reason....not sure if i'm tired of it after just 4 days or what......i was happier when i was just doing my walking for 35 mins everyday.... :sad:

    This workout is much harder than walking for 35mins. You have to push yourself & make your body work. You can't stop Now girl, the party is just beginning!!! I hope you stick with it. Good Luck!

    i managed to get out and do my 2nd day of c25k so i feel a bit better.....i cannot believe that i'm actually out running LOL..whodda thunk it....i never run.....and i felt very refreshed afterwards...i think i need another week of doing week 1 though because i only go outside 1 day this week because it's been pouring rain.....hopefully the weather holds up next week and i can get a few more days in before switching to week 2

    That's great!!! I can't wait to start running. I haven't ran since high school and find myself so out of breath it's not even funny. So in May a girlfriend & I are going to start running in May! I am hoping I am in better condition to do so with less weight & the 30 Day Shred. Keep up the good work!!!

    Well since my Saturday night consists of staying in writing a boring paper for school that I forgot about and have no motivation to do, but have to email it by tomorrow, I decided to get another workout in. I planned on doing No more trouble zones like day 3 of the slimdown, but wasn't thinking about it & ended up doing Banish Fat Boost Metabolism (Well 30 minutes of it including the warm up) And I have to say I don't think I would have gotten that far if I hadn't started the Shred when I did! I really like BFBM though it's kind of fun.... some kickboxing and other good cardio. Next time I try it I'll do more than 30 minutes though hopefully.

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend & ready for Day 7 tomorrow! Can you believe we have come this far already.... a week of it we're all doing so great

    Why are you making me spend more money? I have been hearing the same thing about BFBM....and am getting the itch to try it!!!! You are doing so great!!! Keep it up Girl!!!!

    L1D7 CHECK. Phew...I had a really hard time waking up, and warming up, this morning. I almost quit after the warmup but I'm glad I pushed, it got much better once the blood started flowing. 16 girly pushups, then 18 on the bar. I am giving up on those anterior raises..I mean on doing both arms at a time. Or else I have to get some 3 lb weights...I dunno. I bet it would take me a month even from now to be able to do the whole set properly.

    I guess I have bursitis in my hip, since the x-ray didn't show a fracture or anything. I'm hoping I can get a shot or something when I go back to the doc on Friday..I hear they can give you cortisone to make the pain go away for months. Then I will get back to my C25K dangit! The elliptical machine is great and all but I wanna be a runner...waaaah!
