    Maybe we should start a "before" photo thread?

    First, I love your quote in your fitness progress box " Sweat is fat crying", that has been my mantra forever! Second, I love the idea of putting before shred pictures up.

    I've tried 30 day shred before and never completed it. My motivation is awful. I'm going to start again with the group this time, and I WILL finish it! So glad that there's a group doing it together. Level 1, Day 1, here I come!

    I did day 2 LV1 today much to the dismay of my legs which did not enjoy it at all! I am finding it really challenging and can only hope Jillian is not lying about it getting easier, I don't trust her yet because she hurts me :P

    Oops - forgot to check in yesterday, but I did it. And I did it this morning.

    Day 3/Level 1 - completed



    By the way, yesterday my thighs and shoulders really hurt. Today it's not so bad, and I managed all the side lunge/interior shoulder raise thingies today (yay!). Push-ups are still rough, I manage 5 decent, 5 not-so-decent, then 10 seconds of plank, then drop to my knees for the rest of the time. But that's better than Day 1, so as long as I keep making progress I'm happy.

    Day2 level 1 done. I was sweating streams by the end and my upper body is starting to ache!

    I am taking this as a good sign that the work out is doing me some good :)

    I am finding the push ups really hard, I have no idea how people do them with straight legs!!!

    Level 1, Day 3 done :bigsmile: I've made a few modifications:

    1. When I do those transverse crunches, I stick my hands under the couch instead of leaving them beside me. It makes it easier for me to focus on using my lower abs, instead of trying to push myself up with my hands.
    2. I use my weights during the cardio punches. It challenges me, but somehow doesn't hurt as much as the side lunge/anterior arm raise
    3. I hold one weight with both hands for the anterior arm raise (whoever suggested that- thank you!)
    4. Modified push-ups, and I go reeeeeeally slow. I don't have a lot of upper body strength. Before starting 30DS, the only upper body work I really did was the fork lift :wink:
    5. I switch from foot to foot when I "jump rope" so it's pretty much just butt kicks.

    Also, has anyone else noticed Natalie cheating during the static lunge/bicep curl? I just saw it today, and I yelled "She's cheating!" like I though JM was gonna turn around and smack her or something. Seriously though, she looks great. If she wants to skip a lunge or two, I think she'll be okay :tongue:

    My calves are still killing me :grumble: I'm not sure why they hurt more than anything else. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

    Ugh I had such a busy day yesterday and completely missed my workout. I'll be doing Day 2 Level1 tonight after work. I'll try to squeeze in an extra workout this weekend to make up for the missed day.

    Hahaha! She is cheating! However, I would DIE to have her body, so yea she can definitely get away with missing a lunge or two.

    I did notice she cheated... too funny that Jillian brags about how they don't cheat when she's not looking later on in the video... tee hee! Finished Level 1, Day 4 this morning... my modifications are girl push ups and alternating feet when the jump rope gets too hard too.
