    Day 2 completed!
    I ached so much this morning, walking up and down stairs was the worst because of the burn in my legs (mostly calves and quads)! It's good aching though, not injury aching (I love the warm up and cool down in 30DS, they're so important but often left out) It was slightly harder to do today because of the ache but it made the squats and lunges in particular even better!
    Now, for the first time ever, my abs are aching! I'm so pleased because I've never had any ab definition (mostly because I've always found crunches etc. so hard so I don't do them...whoops). Fingers crossed this carries on!
    My diet has been better today. I've drunk more water and I didn't have cake at lunch, although I did treat myself to a hot chocolate after my audition today because I felt I deserved it! (Again, fingers crossed!) But, because of this, I skipped having something sweet after dinner. Yay for balance!
    How's everyone else finding it? Did anyone start day 1 today? Are all still motivated? Aching?!

    Well...four days are under my belt! Today will be day 5...the crazy aching is gone now (day 2 and 3 are the worst!) but I do feel it in my abs still, which is good! Only 3 more level 1 workouts...then onto level 2! YAY! I love how I feel when I'm doing this and motivated...and I'm been doing fairly well eating well also! I'll focus more on that once I have an exercise routine in place again...one step at a time!

    Keep up the good work ladies!!

    I'm on day 5! My endurance and strength have improved greatly since day 1. This is the first exercise I've done in years other than walking and occasional swimming in the summer. I hate it when I'm doing it, but I love the way it makes me feel.

    Still can't do more that 4 push ups at one time though. I have to drop to my knees to finish them out.

    Workout number 3 is done!
    I found it so much easier today even though I ached so badly all day long. Bicycle crunches are still so hard but I can notice that they're getting easier. I've never done push-ups before so I'm always on my knees but I hope that I can do proper push ups by level 2.
    My diet is easier, although my lunch wasn't as healthy as it should be (afternoon's off are good buuuut...). I'm looking forward to dinnertime though- Moroccan marinated chicken with veggies then watching Glee with my mum :)

    Do you ladies do any exercise other than 30DS? If so, what is it?

    No other exercises right now as my two girls keep my busy, but I do love to run when the weather is nice outside (I have an excellent double jogging stroller!) But it's pretty cold now for my 7 month old, so probably not too much more running until the Spring.

    I always think having kids would be a great way to keep fit, especially if you had a jogging stroller!
    My mum has never done much exercise and I was an only child but just taking me to all my extra curriculars, looking after me and working full time kept her fit!
    I have twice weekly ballet classes (3 lessons if I'm doing an exam, sometimes more) which I've been doing since I was 4 and it's such a great exercise! I could write novels about how brilliant it is in so many different ways. I'm especially finding that it's great with 30DS because it's good for strength and toning.
