MARCH 2011 - 30 Day Shred who's in?

Just finished my D5L1 and thanks to this wonderful sinus infection was my hardest day to make it through the cardio part! I am loving this workout though. I really feel like I accomplished something when I am done. I am doing another 40 or so minutes of various workouts besides this. Can't wait to see everyones results at the end of the month! Keep going everyone.......

If you believe you can you will. If you don't think you can you won't. Clear your mind of can't....

Level 1 done! I definately see a difference and i finally got pass my plateau and lost 1.10lbs!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 5 L1 Done! I think I am getting better :happy:

Today I'll be doing Day 6 Level 1. I had planned to do 30 days straight (realizing that this might be too lofty a goal) but I had to miss yesterday as we had company the first half of the day and were out the other half of the day. Disappointing but I'm hopping back in the saddle today! I stepped on the scale this morn and had gone up a couple pounds which is also disappointing but I knew to expect it. I always gain a few when I start a new gym workout. I can't remember which thread on MFP I found this site on but for those of you noticing a water weight gain it's a good article to read to keep you motivated to continue! I don't think it was this thread, sorry if it was!!!

Day 7 of Level 1 ---- I did my 30 DS early this morning for 25 min so I can get this out of the way... After work, if I still have energy will do again and my try to hop on my treadmill for a quick 20 min walk...

LOL....I did Jillian Michael 30 day shredded twice...this morning (30 min) and this evening (25 min)...

Finished D7L1 and loving it! It is still hard as heck but I love all the different muscles it works! I have a sinus infections (still) so the cardio is the hardest to get through. I am able to make it through the rest easier now however! Is there anyone else who is scared to even see level 2? I am! I am leaving on vacation for 4 days this Thursday and won't get this in but there will be tons of walking so taking my pedometer and have to have 10,000 steps each day! I will pick up where I left off when I get back. Hope it doesn't set me back to much!

I have gotten 2 other friends to join me on this challenge and we all agree it is HARD but ohhhh so worth it so far. Can't wait to see the results in 21 more days.... well 25 for me. I will get it done.

Hope everyone else is hanging in there! Keep going even if your mind starts to tell you that you can't. I am telling you Jillian hits me right on the head with what she says everytime I am getting so tired I "think" I want to quite she says something like (I know you think your going to die but keep going) I talk back to the video at this point as I am so there but it sees me through. Thanks for setting up this challenge it is exactly what I need.

D3L2 - in soooo much pain today....i want to give up!

Don't give up! I just completed day 6 L1 today and it does get better. You'll be amazed at how much more you can do in a few days if you keep at it.

This is just my 2nd day and I will be doing it this evening....Oh my Lord...I thought I was going to die -during and after yesterday morning! Something that in 20 min can make you feel that way has to be doing something!! lol
Looking forward to day 30 to see what changes take place!!

Oooh, I hope I can get in on this thread with all of you! I am on L1D4 today. I use 3 pounds weights. I am alternating with C25K as well, just started wk 3 day 1 on that. I did take my measurements and was thinking of checking them every two weeks to see my progress. I so need to be "Shredded"!!

So I have started doing level one in the morning and level two in the evening.

I was wondering if anybody else if finding themselves after doing so many days in a row wanting a more extreme workout?

I can see how that might happen. For me I ride my bike to and from work (only 30 minutes in total) and do the Shred after the kids are in bed, so sometimes it takes all my energy just to make it through, BUT yesterday I had the opportunity to do the Shred before I went to work and was energized and probably could have done it later when I got home from work..

Life on the 30DS is such an adventure - I never know which muscle will be aching from one day to the next! :laugh:

I was doing good with it for about the first 6 days or so but 2 nights ago I was really full still by nightime (I usually do it before going to bed), and I felt like I was going to be sick, so I stopped. Last night I was out late and didn't get home til way after I usually go to sleep, so I didn't do it, now tonite will be the same as last night most likely. Three days without it I hope I can get back into it again when I get some time!
