I made it through day 2 of SHREDDING! I'm not going to lie, it was tough this morning. Yesterday morning I had to stop and walk two times because the bottoms of my feet hurts so bad while doing the jumping jacks and jump rope. I'm not used to that pounding on my feet. I jog on a treadmill, but the activity is smoother compared to bouncing up and down. This morning, I took out my arch support inserts from my shoes and it made a real difference. Plus, I was more consciouse this morning of my technique during those activities. I did not stop once during the 20 minutes circuit, and for that I'm thankful and FEELING IT! 20 minutes is doable, and I think I'm going to see the difference. But, I still have to get my eating under control. I did better Monday than I did Sunday, better Tuesday than Monday, and I hope to stay on that path until I can gain control over my calorie intake once again. Happy Shredding everyone:)

Day 2 - DONE! Man I'm weak in my arms. Most of the excercises I have no problems with....but the pushups and shoulder presses I barely make it through doing even the modified version! Starting with 3lb weights (tough enough) so hopefully by day 5 I can bump that up to 5 lbs. Sadly I ate like crap today Need to stay on good food...

Whenever I'm craving something, I drink a glass of ice cold water and then pop in a piece of sugar free gum. Usually I crave sweets, especially chocolate But recently I have been craving hot sauce-weird!

This morning was DAY 1. Killer! Wanna punch her in the face already :laugh: I try to drink 12-15 cups of water a day and that usually keeps my cravings away.

Day one. Boy what a killer! I can usually manage 90 mins at the gym but that 25 min workout really kicked my butt LOL.

Just wondering how you guys log 30DS on your exercise diary.

circuit training, general is how most log 30 ds. 30 ds kicked my butt, too, the hardest workout I ever did. The jumping jacks and jump rope are the hardest things for me. I lack the stamina and I have to catch my breath. My feet hurt, too.

I will push through and get the results at the end of the 30 days. We can support each other.

Thanks for the info. I need to invest in a heart rate monitor but not gonna happen this side of Christmas!

I feel you pain with the jump rope, man is that a lot harder than it looks!! Day 2 done though and must admit it wasn't as bad as yesterday so there's hope for me yet.

I've made it through day 7 of level one! So glad to still be doing this. I'm sticking with my calorie goals and being much more conscious of recording what I eat to try and really make a difference this season. So many people think I should wait til after the Holidays to begin, but I need to do something now. I can't wait. And I'm so glad you are all doing this as well. It's helped me stay focused and accountable. I hope you are all doing well and not too stressed this season. Exercise is the only thing that seems to help me cope with my stress, so this is really good for me. I think this 20 minute workout has been the perfect mix with the MFP calorie tracking plan. I'm looking forward to taking my measurements and seeing if the scale really shows results.

Hope you're all staying on track and taking good care of yourselves. Keep it up, it will be worth it when we ring in the New Year already ahead of the game!

Day 1 complete. Bring on Day 2!
