30 Day Shred - Anyone want to join me ?

:laugh: Happy Monday Shredders,
I took yesterday as a rest day - from exercise and food. I didn't log but probably should have; I was over my cals I just know it.
But back at it this morning Shredded befor work - L1D7 in the bag. Power walk and TJ on for later - not sure which one; possibly Cardio Party mix 2 or Fat Blaster. It's Monday so that might be a little ambitious:laugh: the walk will be done for sure!

Take care and keep workin it!

I have done day 1/level 1 and tbh I thought how can 20 mins even everyday make any difference. How wrong I was, I felt like dying half way through. Heres to it getting easier

Well missed today again - was out shopping all day, and got back way later then antisipated. Will definately get back to day 8 of level 1 tomorrow.

Hi All,
Just in from a 200 cal pm walk - ugh Monday - time to rest and catch some tube before my eyes close!! Early shredding in the AM and boy does it come fast!!

Have a great nite everyone,
Janet

Day 10/Level 1 complete! Tomorrow I'm on to day 1/Level 2. i think I'll watch the workout today so that I know how to do the moves before I try them! I'm also going out for 5 lb. weights today. Can't find mine from the move last summer. I had to go back and look at all my posts to see what day I was really on! Can't believe I did 10 days of this!

Today I tried to eat a little before and after the work out. Reading that working out on a hungry belly signals the body to burn up muscle instead of fat. Hopefully this will work.

On the Master Your Metabolism front, if I throw out everything Jillian says is bad for my success, I will have no food left to serve my family. Still reading though....not sure I value this as much as I do the workouts.

Have a great day everyone!

Michelle~ great job! Good for you for making yourself do it today. Tomorrow will be my first attempt at a 5:00am workout before waking the kids for school! early bed tonight!

After talking a 2 a 2 day break, I got back at is and did Day 8 level 1. I am glad I took the break, my legs have really loosened up and was able to do the lunges alot easier. Burned 249 cals doing it today,

I just finished Day 2/Level 1 (I've never done the shred before)
My whole body hurts. Got up this morning and could barely get dressed for the workout but I did it. My thighs, arms all hurt. :sad:
I wasn't as breathless when I finished though I did stop a few times.
Please someone tell me this will get better. I know it's worth it but will it get better?

Happy Tuesday Shredders
L1D8 in the bag at 450 this am!!! I never seem to really want to do the w/o but i sure do feel good afterwards!! Welcome to all the new faces!!
Hi Tiwi and Leela - welcome , welcome This thread really helps and it's keeping me accountable. I have been shredding daily except for Sunday, so far, - that's my rest day. I feel strong but havent lost any weight really. I seem to have been gaining and losing this same 2 lbs for the last 8 days. I also work in extra cardio - usually power walking or Turbo Jam - so my deal looks like Shred before work and 35-45 minutes of something else when I get home from work.
Had a little scare tonight on a non work out related note - I quit smoking on St Patricks day of this year. I was tired of smoking and am no longer able to get my brand in the U.S. so I decided to quit. I have been a smoker since I was 16. I'm 47. I've never even wanted to not be a smoker. Anyway, when I was looking for batteries in my night stand I found just under half a pack of MY BRAND!!
I did not smoke them. I flushed them , threw on my sneaks and took a long walk. I am not a smoker any more and faith without works is dead!!

Thank God for smart feet tonight............and I'm watching ROCKY!!!

Thanks for letting me vent and have a great night everybody,

Janet

Excellent willpower Dragonfly!

Like some other members, I just started the videos and today was day 2 of L1. It's around 3am. I did it around the same time yesterday too. It's not that I'm trying to get an early start like Dragonfly but I'm putting it off until as late as possible because I'm not looking forward to my legs burning like a 3 alarm fire. However, its only 27 minutes so I push through it. I tried p90x and it was just waayyy too long for me. I was so sore after "Chest and Back" I could barely move my upper body without whincing. These are so much better, still tough, still sore but doable. I stopped a few times for air and water and I couldn't use any weights for the second round of the side lounge/shoulder raise ( my shoulders have always been so weak) I'm also going to supplement with a few days in the gym. They have Zumba 2x's a week and I'd like to try it. It's seems like it would be fun. Has anyone else tried it? Are the moves really complicated cuz I'm not that coordinated lol. I'm going to try to take my measurements and pictures tomorrow to compare with the ending results since some say they don't lose weight, atleast maybe I'll lose inches. Good luck to everyone and good night or morning. Happy Shredding!

Day 20 done so that's Level 2 over for me.
I'll measure up tomorrow morning and post my inch and weight progress.

10 days left for me! Yay!

I've gone down a top size (though that's not just due to the shred... just boosted by it) because I went shopping with my mum, who's visiting me this week, and we bought things a size smaller just because I thought there was no point getting more stuff of the size I already have everything in. I'm getting smaller anyway, even if I couldn't fit in the new clothes I would do eventually. I tried on the tops and voila, it fits! They look pretty good, too. *smug*

Keep at it everyone
