I didn't end up shredding last night, but I woke up at 430 this morning and did, so that was Day 3 of Level 2. Or day 13. It KILLS me that I should have been on day 19 by now, but I let myself get lazy and miss a lot of days.

The planks are really hard on my shoulders, and I really don't love workout 2. I dread doing it and have to modify a lot of the moves. I'm starting to think I should drop back to level one for a few days and try to come back to level 2.

I want working out to be something I look forward to and enjoy, but this is starting to become a chore- and a painful one! I don't want to hurt myself. I understand sore muscles, and that's okay. I actually enjoy a good, deep muscle burn, but my ankles still haven't recovered from workout 1, and workout 2 seems to be taking a toll on my shoulders. I'm sure I'm just being whiny and lazy. Maybe I need to keep pushing through to get over it. Thoughts?

Day 13 done!! (Day 6 on level 2). :-) I still use the 2 lb. Weights.... This level is too hard for the 5 lb. Yet...

Day 10 of Level 2 DONE!!! Start level 3 tomorrow..should I be afraid? lol

^^^((hugs)) so sorry to hear this. I hope everything calms down for you. I have no advice. Please be easy on yourself.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Day 1 of Level 3...totally kicked my butt!!! Lot's of jump training which is tough but I am still going strong

Took a few days off to enjoy this long weekend with my husband. I have a few more days at level 2, and then I'm starting level 3. I may stick with this one for another month. Very challenging and great results.

I have not been posting due to hurricane Issac, but I only missed to 2 workouts. I actually had power the whole time...just a house full of people and pets!!! Anyway I decided to jump to level 3 today because i was feeling pretty good. So I am day 16!!! I will probably switch between level 2 and 3 until day 22 or so then do level three for the remaining time. Two weeks until vacation so can't miss a day!!!

Hope everyone has a Happy Healthy Day!!

I have been keeping up, but the holiday weekend has been nuts, so I haven't checked in. Oh... remember that whole "shoulder injury" thing I was so worried about? Yeah... that totally happened.

Blew out my right shoulder last night on a plank.

I'm scooting back down to Level One, minus the push-ups... and no weights on the arm raises. If I have to do the whole 30 days at level 1, so be it.

Skipped yesterday due to my leg bothering but right back in it today! Finished Day 3 of Level 3 this morning!

Day 4 of level 3 done!! Am I the only one on level 3??

Day 17 level 3! Yeah! Feeling pretty good..very happy I was able to make it this far without a relaps of some sort with my chronic fatigue!! This is very good for me.. maybe the new medicine is really working and it really has something to due with my thyriod!! Only time will tell!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good for you!! I have to say, your post made me get back with it. If you can stick with it while fighting chronic fatigue, then so can I. So thanks! I took about a week off thinking it would be a long weekend with the husband that then streeeeeetched into the new week... I did it today, and logged day 13 and 14, level 2. I watched level 3 out of curiosity, and think I might try it tomorrow. I like how she incorporates the yoga, pilates, and dance moves in. How are you liking it? Do you find it a lot harder than level 2?

My reply posted as part of yours. I don't know why...

16th day, day 2 of level 3.

So I have been keeping up ! On Saturday I got up early did day 21 (on level three) of 30 days! I got up early because we going to a birthday party at Global Wildlife Center - we had to leave at 8:00! On yesterday, I did level 2 and walked for 30 mins. so, feeling very good, i decided to do The Fat Burn Express by Power 90! I am happy to say I completed all 35 mins and was able to do some moves at advanced level! (that's because I have been doing level 3). I am considering this day 23 !!!

Now I will admitt my energy level still slips but I am adding back a little more protein to see if that helps. My main focus is being healthy and feeling good ---- I will worry about these extra pounds when I am better. Very hard for me to do but... I am trying. At least I am not still gaining and I do feel better and I am able to exercise!!! So I am in a positive direction!!

Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!

Starting over tomorrow!! My computer was broken and so I couldn't work out with Jillian without it :-) Can't wait to get back into the swing of things. Great job to all of you for your astounding dedication!! Keep up that great work!

Day 26 level 3!! Boy did I sweat!!! It felt great - I did the full out level three - Yeah!!! I used my 8 lb weights (but used the 5 for the jumping jacks - can't quite get the form good with 8lbs) I was able to dothe advance on all the moves - cheated on the sits ups by putting my feet under the chair but that was it!! I am getting back to my old self - I have a ways to go - but I will get there!

Hope everyone is having a happy healthy day!!!
