    I took yesterday off due to migraine. Normally I'd take my meds and push through it, but it lasted all day :grumble:

    Anyways, today I cheated girls. I did Ripped in 30 for the first time...and I really really really liked it..:indifferent: :embarassed: :bigsmile:

    It's okay to take a day off :smile: What is Ripped in 30? Sounds good to me..lol! What areas does it target? I'm looking for something to add to the 30DS. Thanks!

    Well, it took me long enough to get up the courage to try it again, but I DID DAY 1! I took a couple of breaks but I got through the entire video!

    It felt so good to hear the cool down music, let me tell you!

    @pretentiouskate- Great job! I promise you it gets easier! And after just 7 days you will feel so much stronger!

    @almondbliss- Doh! LOL that's ok, I did ripped in 30 again today. Does Ginkgo work? If so, I need a truck load!

    @seebum- According to my Mom and Dad it does....Their house is second best to my Grandmothers to find herbal meds.

    L2 D5 I jumped ahead to level 2 five days early because I wanted a change and I loved it! I think I'm going to start cycling through a different level each day so I don't get bored. Has anyone else tried doing that?

    Sweebum ~ Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find that one : )

    :bigsmile: One more day of L1...hooray hooray!!

    rigby724 ~ I def. should have moved around through the levels. Next time..lol..I am already planning ahead to a 2nd go of the Shred.

    Random question tho...Does anyone else feel like one side of their body is strong than the other?? I know it sounds strange, but I totally feel stronger on the right side (right arm, right leg, etc.). Anybody know why this is or had the same experience??

    hi everyone!!!

    you guys are so awesome with your workouts!! i'm still sore (SUCKS!!!!!!!!!) and i'm so jealous that you guys can workout. i'm going to start my treadmill today, and hopefully by Monday, i'll be back on the 30DS wagon (i miss it!!!!!)

    @TakeOne: i always feel that my right side is stronger and more balanced. i have the Wii Fit Plus, and it does these balance exercises. everytime i test, it tells me i'm always leaning more on my right. of course, i am not aware of this. it's so weird.

    D13 L3 Done!

    Did another round today - having a really hard time with my right knee, might have to look to something that's lighter impact until either a) the knee stops hurting or b) I loose some weight and am putting less pressure on it. I can do MOST of the stuff, but the side lunges and the lunges on my right side are just too painful.

    I keep losing track of what day i'm on so last one was D12 L3....Today D13 L3.......I didn't burn as many calories cause I skipped out on all the jumping moves, my ankles just can't take it.....they were swollen yesterday so I skipped Jilllian, went walking for an hour and then soaked my ankles.
    Just tried to alter the exercise...if not I just punched it out.
    SW 195- CW 194.2
    Arms-14
    Chest-39 1/2
    Waist-37 1/2
    Hips-45
    Thighs-25 1/2
    Total In Inches Lost Since I started 30 Day Shred is 3" In 13 Days!

    So why didn't anyone tell me that L2 is CRAZY!?! Oh my goodness.. Just finished D1 of L2 and I feel like I'm gonna be ill...lol! I got so comfortable with L1, the new moves def. kept me guessing (am I going to die now or in the next minute?? :sad: ). Guess I'll see how D2 of L2 goes tomorrow.. All I could think about during the last circuit was: How many days do I have left?? I better start seeing some abs soon! :laugh:

    Best of luck to everyone else! Anybody else just move into L2 and feel like they might keil over??

    ok, so i'm still hurting, and sore...and it's starting to get to me. i'm normally a very positive person, and usually i get over it quickly. but this injury is really messing with me, mentally and physically. i can't see myself even starting L2 with my back and neck pain. it's such a bummer cuz i was sooo motivated. i was motivated by you guys, and i now, i feel like i'm so far behind. but i know i need to get over myself.

    so TakeOne, i haven't looked at it, but do you think i should stick with L1 for a few weeks, instead of moving on? what is your opinion?

    good job and kudos to everyone! you guys are awesome, and i need to really just get over myself and get to it, even if it's somehow modified. i don't even want to look at the scale. i've been sort of being haphazard with my eating since the accident. i haven't logged in calories for a week....

    sorry for being a downer. tomorrow's a new day. i will be better tomorrow. promise.

    Sorry forgot to log tues. was D14 L3 Today did D15 L3....I'm frustrated cause of my ankle. I'm not burning no where near as many calories cause I can't do the jump moves, but something is better than nothing.

    Hey everyone!

    So I did 4 days on and I am resting today...phew! I did L2D2 last night and it was better in that I knew what the moves/circuits were, but it still kicked my butt! I feel like I am burning way more than 140 calories, but that is what this site tells me. Are most of you using a HRM or just plunging it in here like me?

    gjspiller ~ Take a look at L2. There are some modified versions which the girl on the right does (can't remember her name??) and see what you think. I've been trying to stick with the girl on the left and it is much more difficult than what she was doing on L1.

    rigby724 ~ Great to hear! You give me motivation that it gets better :laugh: :happy:

    Keep it up everyone! I am almost half way there and I know others are ahead/behind that based on their individual schedule. But the important thing is that we stick with it! :flowerforyou:

    OK, D8 L3 freakin' killed! That workout was hard but soooooo worth it, my abs still feel like they're contracting!

    I'm so proud of everyone, it sounds like you're doing an awesome job!

    @ TakeOne - I definitely think my right side is stronger than my left, in when I wear the right side is always slightly tighter on my right side, I think because there's a little more muscle? Crazy weird, I know! And don't worry, the way we're all going we'll have to being seeing six packs soon! :laugh:

    You can get it at Target, Walmart, or you can order it pretty cheap off of Amazon, regardless of where you get it it's under $10. Good luck!:smile:

    Soooooo...I've gained a pound, but I know it's muscle because my measurements are going down! Slowly but surely! :laugh:
