30 day shred starts tomoro!

I'm still sticking with it. Missed yesterday because I had too much going on and I was so disappointed to have gotten off track
for even one day. I'll be doing today's workout tonight since I didn't get to do it this morning.
I wanted to comment because I too have been feeling a little worn out mid workout. I feel like I'm getting stronger
and that some of it is getting easier, but what's difficult is I am finding myself out of breath and my muscles wanting
to give in with some of the moves. I've been doing it daily and only taking off on Sunday. Wonder if I'm not getting
the right nutrition to keep up the energy or what. Figured it would get to be much easier as it went on, but I am
finding myself tiring out a little sooner too.

Well, I'm disappointed to report that I have fallen off the wagon a bit. From Thursday to Sunday I did no workout and
thanks to the boyfriend's Popeyes kick, I haven't been eating so great either.
I had a plan to continue these workouts (I'm alternating Killer Buns and 6 Week 6 Pack with 30 Day Shred daily)
for 6 weeks and hopefully see results... I'm araid that these 4 days of not working out and bad eating habits have
set me back. I'm only about 126 or so and 5'4... the number on the scale isn't really the issue... I currently wear a
size 7 and my old jeans are 2's! I was hoping to just fit into a smaller size by the end of my 6 weeks, but ...

My sister in law told me to get this protein powder (it's low cal, no fat, no sugar, no cholesterol and 90% pure protein)
and she said that if I drink it within 30 minutes after my workout , that I will maximize my workout by about 80%.
She used to workout a lot, so I trust her advice... Kinda hoping that if I add this with my continued workout, I'll see
the results I'm hoping to see. I plan to start back up again today!

On another note, the one bit of difference I have seen in the 8 Days that I have worked out is that the front part of my upper legs is definitely toning up! I KIND OF think my arms look a little thinner, but haven't measured to see, and when I tighten up my tummy, I see there's some muscles starting to build there. However still waiting for everything else to firm up. Sis in Law says that the buns and back of thighs is the last thing to tone up... I guess it takes longer?

it doesn't matter if u go off track sometimes cos u are gonna carry on and u have a plan! good luck!

Thank you! I definitely appreciate the support! Good luck to you too!

to move to level 2 or not that is the question!!! today I have done L1 day 10 but I still don't think I can move onto the next level cos I can still only do Anita's way of doing the exercises! tried to do Natalie's on some of the workout I just cannot do them! did anyone else move up a level feeling like this? should I move up? ( level 2 looks scary! ) maybe I should only move up when I can do Natalie's workout moves??? I do feel fitter but not sure what to do???

I moved up to level 2 when I felt that a lot of the exercises during level 1 were too easy; meaning, I could do them for the whole time using 5 lb weights. I couldn't do all of them, but I could do a majority of them. I couldn't do the advanced move of all of them either, but I was able to do the beginner the whole time and that was enough proof for me that I was ready to move on.

You really don't have to do every level in ten days; Jillian says it in the video that you should move up when you are comfortable. So, if you don't feel ready to move on then don't; just spend a few more days on level 1 and then move up. There's nothing wrong with that. I spent an extra day on level 2 because I didn't feel comfortable moving on to level 3 quite yet.

Though, you could go ahead and try level 2 and if it's too hard, you could just move back down to level 1.

I tried Level 2....hurt my shoulder because most of the workouts are in push-up position! Hated it....I have taken 2 days off to see if my shoulder heals otherwise I will abandon level 2!
