    Wed. (August 22) - Today, I did Ripped in 30 plus about 30 minutes of Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. I got a late start, so I was not able to complete the Banish Fat DVD. I may try again tomorrow.

    Today was awful! I did 30DS, day 4, and I was so exhausted before I even started. But I did it! I gave it all I could and still did some cardio on the treadmill after. Hopefully you guys had a better day!

    Tomorrow will be better!

    I decided to add a 30-minute walk after work!

    Hey Rubyautumn4- You should be SO PROUD of yourself for pushing through the barrier and doing it even though it was tough and you didn't want to AND doing some more. Superstar!

    Viva- I do sometimes struggle to fit BFBM in to my schedule. This is the problem with the longer ones. If I do BFBM it tends to be the only thing I do. You are really going for it on the exercise. You must feel great.

    Sadly I can't do Jillian for a few weeks as i've got a dodgy knee so I just swam a mile after work and cycled home to make up for it! Not the same though....I miss the BURN! :)

    Let's see what today brings!

    Yesterday (Wed 8/22) I did Killer Buns & Thighs level 2 and Six week six pack level 1. I plan to do the same today.

    Sarah - I hope your knees get to feeling better.

    Sarah - "Some exercise" is better than "no exercise". If swimming is all your knee will allow you to do, then rest your knee and SWIM! Hope your knee gets better.

    Thurs. (Aug. 23): This morning I completed Week 3 of Ripped in 30, did about 30 minutes of The Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout, and added in some jumping jacks, squats, and crunches to complete my 70-minute workout. I MAY walk after work if my daughter does not have too much homework.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Thanks for the encouragement Sarah! I am so glad I did workout and am looking forward to a stronger workout tonight! Hope your knee heals up soon but in the meantime swimming is great excercise!

    Actually, swimming is the best overall body workout. It takes a lot and it works more than you realize. I wish I was a good swimmer. I'm thinking of taking lessons in the spring.

    I am on Day 4 of 30DS. I ws tired and did not want to do it. However, I pushed through. I plan on doing my walk/run this evening. I have a date with my cousin on the riverfront. I'm trying not to sike myself out of it because its supposed to be real hot today. We can always hit the gym treadmill and elliptical. My long distance boyfriend is taking this healthier lifestyle journey with me so that helps as well.

    Have a great day!

    Well, I made it threw my first work out on Monday-30DS, I have been biking and walking up alot of stair prior to this. This deffinaliy help. Like Sara said the hard part was just turning on the DVD.Don't know what I was worried about! On Monday I was very proud of myself for doing the exercise and finishing the whole 20min. I felt really good. The next day I was feeling pretty great . Not too sore or stiff. Then I wondered maybe I didn't do the exerecising right. I wasn't sore. Well, let me tell you as soon as I sat down around 7p.m I started getting stiff and hardley could walk down the stairs. Holy Moly! I couldn't do any exercising on Tues. but I've done it the rest of the week. Feeling pretty good. Still a little stiff. I have totally enjoyed this 30DS so far.

    Sara , hope the knee gets to feeling better. Like everyone else has said swimming is really good for it!

    Take care

    Anita

    Made it through Killer Buns & Thighs level 2 today, but didn't get to six week six pack. Hope I can do both tomorrow.

    Day five of 30DS done along with a short walk!

    Thanks ladies. It's so typical that you set up a group about something and then you can't actually do it! Ha!

    Well done Anita! You are really going for it. So glad you found it fun once you started. Well done for getting back on it after only one days rest too. I think a little stiffness is fine but I know that I get so sore that sometimes I really just can't workout and it's clear my body needs the rest more than the burn.

    And well done Rhea for pushing through. It goes to show when you really want something and put your mind to it you can achieve anything. It makes you feel stronger and more able and like Jillian says " That transcends to every facet of your life" so true. Hope your workout goes well today. Like you said don't sike yourself out. If you let yourself believe you can do a good job and visualise that instead then you smooth the path to achieving the success.

    Awesome work Susan and Ruby! So much commitment in this group. It's very inspiring :) I'm going to head for another lunchtime mile in the pool to try and be worthy of your company ;) See y'all at check in tomorrow!

    What special weekend workouts have you got planned?

    I woke up late. I did not get a chance to do my 30DS. I'm going to get it in later and may do elliptical on lunch. Have a great day!

    Just finished Day 2, Level 1 and I managed to burn some calories on my 5 hours shopping trip. Apparently, the restraint is catching. I only spent about £50 when I went shopping too :D More money towards my goal weight wardrobe! :D

    I didn't do 30DS yesterday as I was not feeling too good and could not stop coughing. I plan on getting it in today and also another workout. The weekend was a bust as far as my eating goes but i'm not sweating it. Today starts a new day and a new work week.

    Did KB&T Level 3 today for the first time - made it through. Also did 6W6P level 1. But I ate out at lunch today and went over on calories and sodium :(

    Sounds like everyone worked really hard as always. Well done!

    So what if some of us (myself included) went a little over on calories. On the whole everyone worked out and was mindful of their eating. I would put money on the fact that we all ate less and did more than we would have before MFP so let's be happy at our successes :)

    Vicky- I love your shopping experience! So funny. I need that to happen to me too!

    I burned all my calories blitz cleaning my old flat. Who would have thought that toothbrushing grouting was such an efficient burn?!

    So what is is store for today? Which bits are most sore?! :D

    I wonder also is everyone taking their measurements as well as their weight? I would imagine that would really show some results if you are hanging out with Jillian on a regular basis.

    Tues. (Aug. 28): Ripped in 30, Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout, At-Home Cardio Circuit, and Walk Away the Pounds DVD. I started at 4:00 a.m. I have to work with my daughter on an assignment tonight, so I won't be able to get in an evening workout.

    I have taken to doing my workouts in the evenings it seems. I was up this morning but didn't move. I'm still getting over this summer cold. Anywho, I am doing my walk/run with my cousin this evening and 30 day shred. I can't wait until I get my Blast Fat Boost metabolism comes in the mail.
