Hi everyone!! My name is Ginger and I am new to this group.
Let me start by saying I have started the 30 day shred numerous times but never completed it, heck I have never even made it to level 3. So I hope by joining this group I will find the support and motivation to keep going.
I completed day one level one today and it was not easy. Not only physically challenging but I am also a stay at home now and have a 23 month old and a 7 month old. My almost two year old kept laying on me when I was doing the crunches and my seven month old decided that he was done watching me do the last circuit and just cried :(
In addition too that my evenings are usually busy with activities with my two older (school aged) children. Ages 13 and 9.
However with that said I don't want to make excuses and I want to take care of me and my health so I can enjoy more fun times with all four of my kids and my sweet hubby ;)
So here I go...I think I can, I think I can....

    I just started yesterday, too! I have a 2 year old and she lays all over me during crunches and wants me to hold her during the jumping jacks. Her daddy can usually keep her busy while I work out, but if she wants me, I just see it as a way to lift some extra weight!

    I look it as a good thing that she's seeing her mommy keeping fit and working out! We're setting good examples for our little ones! Keep at it and we can get through this together!

    To AddyMaeMomma,
    Thank you for the encouragement :) I agree with you completely,it is a good example to set.
    Day two was a little better she wanted to do the workout with me, it was so adorable.
    Goodluck to you as well, we can do this!
  • Hi everyone. Im new to this group and need some motivation! I am starting the 30 day shred tomorrow and plan on doing it every day for 30 days. Im 5ft 1 and about 138 pounds and i want to get down to 119 which is what iv been for most of my life, its just in the last year i have gained the weight! I really hope this dvd works. Am desperate to lose weight!
  • I also started JM 30DS on Monday with my husband. I didnt discover this group until this morning tho. :)

    I have a 19 mo son and while I am not at my heaviest ever I am heavier than when I got marreid 5 yrs ago and just want to be healthier in general. I knew I was out of shape but I took cried 5 minutes into the workout. I also did cheater push ups and the easier moves for most.

    I completed Level 1 day 2 on Tuesday (even though my thighs BURNED all day) and suffered with burning thighs all day wed as well. I skipped the lunges since my thighs still burned so badly and marched in place at a decent pace.

    I took the night off last night and did an ab blaster workout to give my thighs a break. I was worried I was doing muscle damage since they burned constantly just sitting still.

    I feel much better today and plan to do day 3 today if I have time before my doctors appt. Otherwise I will do it tmw.

    I look forward to watching your progress and sharing mine as well as the tips and tricks to get us through this and to the best us we can be!
