Day 5 lv 2 done ! half way there:bigsmile: anyone elses hip hurt??? ugh

Day 6 Level 2 done!! Getting a little bored with it but I will keep going

Okay... I slacked off over the weekend and didn't work out at all (other than a little walking around), but no shredding or anything. I just got done with my second day of level 2. I should have been on day 4 today, but... whatever.

Day 2 of Level 2 done.

I feel like JM was pretty rough on my ankles during workout 1, and they are still pretty sore despite having taking the weekend off and eating Advil like Tic Tacs. This time around, she seems to be trying to destroy my shoulders. Does anyone else feel like she is a little rough on one particular part? I got through the workout today with no shoes and did fine. No double jumping jacks for me- I marched it out- and I kept my feet on the floor for the oblique twists. Other than that, no real modifications. Just keeping up with Anita. I did do the full plank jacks today, which actually seemed a little easier than the toe touch, since you get to jump and don't have to keep abs locked the whole time. It also didn't feel as hard on my shoulders. I'm going to try to remember to weigh myself when I go to work today, and maybe try to get a picture. We shall see.

Yep- I agree- this whole series ended up being a little counter intuitive to me. Where are the rest days? Why are we working the SAME exact muscles for 10 days straight? Ok- so you can put your own rest days in of course- and I guess you can drag the 30 days into way more in other ways- mixing your workouts so its not just Shred. I love JM- love what she does and how - but - I fell for the hype of this series. I know a lot of ppl got great results - I am too- running, eating well, and mixing in things like this. Billy Banks gets results, Denise Austin gets results- there are a lot of great workouts out there.

At first I was racing to my dvds - then I was dreading it - not because its hard- I love bootcamp, CSI and HIIT classes and will push myself in any situation with or without someone yelling at me - but - she and this workout bored me. I loved that its short and kicks my butt hard in that short time but I need to mix it up more.

I joined this group so I continued to check back. I hate to quit anything- but Im not quitting working out at all- just this series. You all that are almost done keep going! Bottom line is - if you are enjoying it and getting results you are doing something GREAT for yourself. Keep on the right track!

~~I will now back out of this group and thread and return myself to my regularly scheduled workouts of varying types and times.
Good luck everyone! Shred on ~

Day 10 done (day 3 on level 2). I actually followed Natalie part of the time... :-) getting stronger!!

Ten days of level one is done, moving on to level 2 tomorrow. I'm afraid.

Don't fear! Level 2 is tough, but a lot of fun moves. It kicks butt, and challenges, but you can feel it working. Good luck!

day 6 lv.2 done:bigsmile:

I did not shred this morning This week sucks.

I work 2 jobs. My full time job plus a part time job (usually 3 nights a week and every other Saturday)

This week I only had Monday Off and I have to work this Saturday, this will be my 4th Saturday in a row.

I could not peel myself out of bed at 4:30, I heard Jillian say "come on get out of bed and lets do some plank jacks." I told her where to go and how to get there and went back to bed. LOL

Tomorrow is another day. Yawn.

Very long day yesterday. I had to run errands all morning, then work, and I didn't get home until 1030, so I didn't shred yesterday. Back on track today though. Planning on running and shredding tonight

Hey!!! Yesterday i finished my 1 day on level 2!!! whooo

Day 3 Level 2 done yesterday. I dont know why but i am not losing any weight? Set at 1450/day and I eat half to all my exercise calories. Feeling discouraged.

I was having this same problem doing the shred. I gained and stalled for two weeks. I upped my calories and am loosing again.

I just upped my calories to 1700 today. I took 30% off my TDEE so we shall see where this takes me.

Day 4 level 2 done

I have to admit that I am getting totally off track. I didn't end up shredding last night- three days of insomnia caught up with me and I was completely wiped out. I haven't been tracking my food or anything either.

However... I finally got a full night's rest and feel totally refreshed. I've been sneaking in little workouts all morning here at work (calf raises and the like) because I just feel so GOOD!! My son and I are going running this afternoon- it was supposed to happen yesterday, but I forgot to set my alarm for the morning and by the time we finished dinner and chores last night, I went to bed.

So I am behind in my shredding and I can't do anything about the days I lost, but I can pick back up and keep going. Today is a new day!!!

day 7 lv.2 done!! lv.3 is looming...think I'll peek tonight maybe there won't be so many darn planks!!!lol

Day 5 Level 2 done!!! Haven't checked in in a while but I have been sticking with the shred!!! My body is totally changing!!!
