I truly thought I was going to puke. I am 5"4" - 241 pounds, and it was rough! I didn't finish the whole work out,. I had about 10 minutes left.
This was not easy for me to do today. I sat here on the couch with all kinds of excuses floating through my head as to why i will start another day. I just finally got up and did it.
I worked out in group training last year and lost 32 pounds, gained it all back and more and all I keep thinking about is HOW DAMN GOOD I FELT! And I just want that back. It began with wanting to look good, but during that time I have never felt so good in such a long time. And I will say again, I just want that feeling back!

Hey the best thing about this is that you still did 20 minutes of it!!!! I just started Monday and I also thought I was going to puke!!! Yesterday's workout wasn't as hard for me so hopefully it won't be too bad for you tomorrow (I did half *kitten* a few parts but I tried to just keep moving even if it wasn't at full effort). Today for me is Cardio and I absolutely hate cardio! I really do not want to do this tonight and all day I have been going through excuses in my head as to why I should not do this tonight ex: I hate cardio, I won't get home until 8pm and will be hungry and too tired to workout, I will just skip the cardio dvd etc... BUT I also keep thinking I really want to for this first time get through a program and not give up and I really want to not be this size anymore! I am 5'6ft at 199.8 lbs. Biggest I have ever been and I don't want it to get any higher. I think we just need to adjust the way we think about workouts. Its tough and I am in it with you
We can do this!!! Feel free to add me for support 0 -
A lot of people think odd number workouts are harder than even numbers. With workout 1, I think it starts hard and gets easier.
Do you really HAVE to do two a day- I didn't. Maybe be a but easier in yourself. It's a marathon- not a sprint. You're better taking it easier and doing 90 days than infvuourself and giving up after a week!0 -
I'm doing the 7 day quickstart so have been doing the cardio everyday so far this week. It's not too bad and it's less than 30 minutes if that helps in getting i t done today 0

I think the piggy bank idea is a great idea as well. I am thinking I am going to have to do this!
I will try and post every day and let you guys know how it is going. The only thing different I am going to do is I am not doing her cardio for cardio days. I have some metabolic workouts that I am doing for cardio. Here is what I will be doing tomorrow for cardio.....
3 rounds of; 30 seconds on for each exercise; 15 seconds rest between exercises; 45 seconds between rounds
REVERSE LUNGE
DYNAMIC PLANK
KETTLEBELL SWINGS
KETTLEBELL WINDMILL
KETTLEBELL SNATCH
SINGLE ARM KETTLEBELL HANG CLEAN
SINGLE ARM KETTLEBELL PUSH PRESS
Thanks everyone for all the support and comments. It is greatly appreciated.0 -

Hit send too soon duh!!
Just wanted to say be careful changing the cardio to more strength exercises. You need to give your muscles a break after her 2 strength days. If you wanted to do something other than her cardio then maybe a long walk, jog, bike ride instead?
It is such a good programme it is tough but doable and as it progresses you progress too. At the start of each new set of dvds I think oh my god I'm never gonna be able to do this but by the end of the 2 weeks I am ready to step it up again.
Best of luck, you can do this x0 -
Thanks for the advice JenMcCrory. I am going to take it. I got to thinking about it last night and was thinking the same thing. I was combining from 2 different workouts....that is a cardio workout from another workout program I have. I am going to do Jillians cardio routine.
Thanks!!!!0
