    I so didn't want to do it, but I did. Day 8 down. Turned down Jillian and turned up my running playlist which helped a little.

    I cheat though . . . :blushing:
    I don't do but 1 set of butt kicks, I do jump rope instead. And I don't use weights on the arm raises with lateral lunges (usually do one set with weights but I got my depo shot today and it always makes my arm sore)

    I might move on to level 2 tomorrow because I'm so tired of 1

    Just wanted to encourage you all to not quit! If you dont quit, you win! I have been on a plateau forever and jumped on the scale today and I lost two pounds! I'm happy, but I'm nervous, like maybe it won't stay. I'm noticing changes in my body though so I know it's real. I'm going to wait until the end to log my weight though because who knows what will happen as I build muscle.

    But I just want you to know, it's coming for you too! Push through, and if you need to switch things up a bit that's okay.

    Day 10 Completed!
    I took my 'during' picture today (not quite as inspirational as I'd hoped, but on the right track!) and I've lost 3lbs since last week, 1/4in off my natural waist, 1/2in off my abdomen and 1/2in off my legs. Overall a really good result, really hoping I can keep this up!

    Terrified for Level 2 but oh well, onwards and upwards :D

    Level 1, Day 9 completed, the forced rest day yesterday has paid off, my thigh is much better and the workout as a whole didn't seem as bad and so exhaustive, I am just a bit down that I am not moving to level 2 tomorrow as I had hoped but 1 more day won't kill me! I have not taken any pic's yet but I intend to do that either later today or tomorrow, as I am so curious, after showering this morning I could see some little ab's (yay!!) they are just poking through just under my bust line! I have never, ever seen those before and didn't think I actually had any :laugh:

    Finished level 1 day 6 this morning. I did NOT wanna get up but I forced myself! I'm definitely picking up some 5lb weights today because some of the exercises aren't doing much for my arms. I still die during the first cardio circuit. I find it really hard to do good crunches when I'm so out of breath! So I also started this 30 day squat/plank/crunch challenge last night.

    Oh and 3/4" is already gone off my waist!

    L1 D8 done!

    I took a much needed rest day yesterday, though I am also a little disappointed to not be at day 9 today.

    I never do any strength training ever, and I think its caused some central nervous system stress for me (at least from what I can tell from body building websites I was researching yesterday.) A day off and 9 hours sleep, and I feel amazing and back on top today.

    Level 1 Day 9 done. I gained weight since I weighed myself last Wednesday, which is discouraging. However, I lost inch on each of my thighs, 1/2 inch around my natural weight as well as around my bellybutton

    Gaining weight (around 5 lbs) is normal with a new exercise routine. Your muscles retain water. Measurements are way more important and you've done really well!

    I tried level 2 yesterday. I wasn't really ready for it. I wasn't able to hold a squat for more than like 15 seconds. I think I might keep trying level 2. I was going to stick with level 1 because my upper body is so weak but my lower body just isn't being challenged enough with level 1 while my upper body feels like it is dying. Level 2 is really challenging for both and I like that....so level 2 and I am going to keep doing pushups because I really want to be able to do them regular style.

    Day 9 completed! I might try level 2 tomorrow. I watched it today to remind myself of what it's like. I need to practice the side to side ski move. I'm just ready for a change.
