    I felt so guilty taking the rest day today, even though it was part of the schedule! I had been hoping to at least get some cardio in, but the day was so busy with the family, that I didn't work out at all. :cry:

    I can't wait until I get home from work tomorrow and can do the Slimdown!!!

    I know that I also consumed too much sodium today and didn't drink my water. Grrr. Today was a bad day for me. Dusting myself off and getting refocused tomorrow.

    Hope you ladies had a great weekend!! So glad that we're doing this together!!! :heart:

    Good for you already finishing up today's workout! I totally agree a rest day is very much needed! What is with all of us feeling guilty about not exercising I feel that way too! Must mean were are doing something right and/or it's a fear that we won't get back on track after 1 day off? Maybe we are just so used to the shred and no days off! lol :)

    I find it really strange doing LVL 1 of 30DS!! lol Im like "yeah yeah I got this"! lol But I cant do the full push-ups yet lol ( I still do the girly version). And I agree with Val...doing this with some awesome rocking ladies, makes it triple as fun to do it!!

    Woohoo! Day 8 of the Slimdown is done! :bigsmile: I still need to do something else today cardio-related if I can manage to sqeeze it in before bed. I still feel so bad about yesterday. I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt guilty! :happy:

    L2 tomorrow! It's going to be really strange doing that workout again! I'm looking forward to it, though. Ugh, the planks!!

    Don't worry, Ileana--I'm still doing the girly push-ups, too! I really should make myself move to the advanced ones, but I just don't feel like it yet. Push-ups used to be my weakness. Before the Shred, I could barely do 5 modified ones!! Now, I can do about 30 before I collapse. I take that as a victory. One day I will be doing the "real" ones. :laugh:

    Have a great night!!!! :heart:

    hehe guess what ladies..i still do the modified push ups too! I tried going into full push up mode and was able to crank out ahhh 2, but I wasn't able to go all the way down :grumble:

    Day 8 done, I find it weird going back to lvl 1 too! Great work today ladies! We are all doing so wonderful! :smile:

    I started the 30 day shred (level 1) on Saturday (2/19)... I was very sore on Sunday morning and did a little yoga to soothe my muscles. Day 2 of the shred and I felt so energize afterwards.... got dressed and went to work with a smile.

    Question: Does anyone know how many calories you burn doing each level of the shred?

    kinda chiming in late again

    Ok, I think I have a girl crush on JM...she's even invaded my dreams. Not kinky...but still...freaks me out.

    Level 2 today: I could actually do the full walkout pushups instead of just holding the plank!!!! And I did those squat (that word looks really funny to me) thrust thingies too!! Just the modified plank jacks though. I had enough flubbler flying around by that time in the work out, lol.

    Tomorrow -- Trouble Zones. Last time I did the whole thing instead of the quick version. I really need the ab work, mine are so weak.

    Okay--finally got my workout in today. Can I just say... "Aaaaack!" Better yet, "Grrrrrr." So, I thought I was so awesome during 30DS when I was on Days 7-10 of Level 2 and feeling so strong and bada**. Hahaha. Returning to L2 today reminded me that I'm not Jillian Michaels yet. :frown: I had to take a couple of 5 second breaks. I felt like I was dragging for some reason today. It bummed me out. So, I did a JM Last Chance Workout right after L2 to redeem myself and did a whole lot better in that workout. :smile: Don't know why I was so tired during L2.... Thinking of you guys and how we're in this together made me push through it. :laugh:

    Hey, it's done, right? Woohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: Onto the next.....

    Great job!!!! Don't worry... I'm becoming obsessed with JM. I took my daughter to the bookstore yesterday and happened to go down a diet and fitness aisle. I stopped and smiled at a JM book. My daughter looked at me and I sighed, "Oh, I love her. She's my role model." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
