    oh, and p1nkpr1ncess, be good to yourself! if you're having surgery your body needs rest, don't push yourself and hurt your recovery.

    Yeah I know, I know, hun! Lol

    Well I had my minor surgery on Monday and they told me to wait 48 hours before I attempt to exercise - which brings me to 3pm this afternoon! So I'm going to take a walk to pick my daughter up from school and if that goes ok might do some light shredding later! I am already missing it so much and I only missed it yesterday as I did Level 3 on Monday morning before my hospital appointment :)

    So fingers crossed that I will be feeling upto it - I'm feeling a lot better today! :)

    Keep it up ladies, you're all doing so brilliantly!

    I cannot workout in the mornings because of the eating issue. I can't workout hungry, but I can't workout with a belly full of food. I just think we wake up dehydrated and hungry and could not perform well under those conditions. Some people recommend something small with a little carbs and protein but low fat, like yogurt, fruit and cheese, or bread with a little peanut butter but I would have to get up that much earlier to eat first so I don't. I work out after work and before dinner.
  • Day 26 down, 4 more to go! I think I can, I think I can...

    I had a go at Level 2 today - 48 hours had passed since my surgery and I was feeling quite good! If there was something I didn't want to do I just picked another move from another Level and did that instead!

    So I'm hoping to carry on with the plan as of tomorrow morning! Woohooo!!!

    Shred me baby!!

    Well I just completed day 3 of level 3 today, and right when I finished UPS dropped off Jillian's other DVD I ordered...No More Trouble Zones. I popped that thing in right away and did a few circuits! WOW my muscles are burning but it feels so good :wink: I think I am going to combine these two! I feel great Today! Now tomorrow when I wake up may be a whole different story lol.
  • I did level 2 day 4 today and am feeling great. I also have the problem of when to eat when I workout. I cannot workout after eating because it causes my stomach to hurt but not eating makes me feel weak and sick. It is quite the problem. I have to workout in the morning because I work second shift. Maybe I will try something small next time I do the shred.

    So yesterday was Day 30!! I am shredded!! I feel so good since doing this DVD, the last few days I've been doing 2 shreds a day though and it's fab!

    I'm going to continue doing the shred everyday as my morning workout! I'm gutted that I can't find any of Jillians other DVDs that are available in the UK - all of the ones on Amazon are US region ones :(

    Well done everyone and those who are going to carry on keep up the good work! :)

    So after at least a week off from Jillian, I did Level 1 again. Boy did it feel good. If I had more time this morning, I might have tried to fit in another workout, but I only have so much time in the morning. After doing my measurements on Friday (I do them every 2 weeks), I have lost another 2.25 inches. So in the last month I have lost about 9 inches, not too much weight and gained back 2 lbs over the last week :grumble:

    I am going to keep going with the Shred, but going to also get back on my Wii Active as well as going to the gym. I want to get down at least 5 lbs in the next 2 weeks (brother's grad).
  • good job everyone on your work out. :)

    sorry i havent been on the shred myself.. i just got really weak.. so im building back up . hopefully sooner or later ill get back into gear and do the whole month :)
    im sooo proud of you guys means a lot of all the effort you put :) i hope you got the resulted you wanted :)
