    lynenz - WOW 9"!!! Thats SO great. Grats to you!. I feel the same as in i cant tell my loss except when i measure.

    fayella - P90X Is some tough stuff. I just do a few of the workouts like the Cardio X and Plyo. It's a GREAT burn! I am also on day 19 today. I have fallen a few days behind the past 20 days. I figured I just finish this lvl before going on to the next too soon.

    donicagalek - You are doing AMAZING!!!!

    L3D4 done

    Anyone else suffering from headaches during the Supermans? I thought after the first few days it wouldn't be an issue, but they're still occurring.

    And this is about ALL I did to get off my *kitten* today. I was filling out local school applications to be a substitute teacher. What a process! Did four schools in seven hours - all from home (online apps printed out). And I'm not even done. I have to go through a fingerprinting process and submit the prints to the state and I still need to get a hold of a couple more references and a few people that are kindly enough to write letters of recommendation. All to be a sub. A once in a while gig that pays about $60 a day.

    Did I mention that *I* pay to get the fingerprints processed. It costs $95. Ouch. Oh well. It will be worth it to get out of the house and do something I enjoy. Yes, I enjoy working with the public. Even when they're little and don't listen to a word I say. It's not like the big people listen, either. :-D

    And since I've been expecting TOM for a week (with bloat and cravings and cattiness...) I'm not EVEN checking my measurements or weight. This month is a TOTAL doozy as far as my cycle and body go. REALLY bad pollen counts. My oldest was sent home with allergy-triggered pink eye today (we took him to the doctor to clear him to go back to school and she confirmed allergies), I have a swollen lymph node on my neck from a handful of black fly bites that itch like crazy. My first sunburn of the season is now, a week later, turning into hundreds of pin-sized blisters that are peeling...it's madness. I hate how it sounds when I write it because I'm not bed bound or anything, but I know that even though I'm up and at-em I definitely won't have anything incredible to report as far as numbers go. :-D I'm going to be realistic.

    I kind of feel like I'm calling it in, but I'm calling it in from my cell phone at the office parking lot. :-D

    I follow Natalie for a VERY short period of time and then rush to Anita before I fall on my face.

    Lvl 2 is just killing me. I don't think I am strong enough for the planks and they make my neck hurt. I also get headaches from them. My husband suggested I go back to Lvl 1 for a bit more. I think he's right. I miss the abs form Lvl 1. (I can't beleive I actually miss abs...)

    Have you tried slowing your leg movement and working your way up to full speed?

    And that single swollen lymph node? Try clusters on both sides of my neck now. Grrrr...black fly fever.

    L3D5 - done. I think I'm actually gaining inches. :-/ Any gassiness and bloat that used to be squishy is now accentuated by a rock hard core underneath it.

    L3D8 - yesterday

    Just got done with L3D9. I won't be shedding tears tomorrow. No weight change, my measurements haven't budged. I've gone from squishy to way more solid than a woman has a right to be so I know change happened. Oh well.

    Ladies with higher levels of testosterone might want to think twice before starting this program. :-) Those obliques that Jillian was saying in L2 were hard for women to obtain? It feels like I have a VERTICAL RIB along each side down to my hip bone. X-) I'm not thin, so it isn't visible, but I had the husband feel it last night while I laughed about it.

    As far as what I plan to do after? Heck baby, it's heading into SUMMER! I'm mowing the lawn every week (which is usually about a 2000 calorie burn using my walker), I have to get the pool clean out back so I can use it with the kids, THIS year I'm safe to go on the trampoline with my kids (I'm finally under the weight limit), so...I'm not stressing too much about finding activity. :-)

    There's also mapmywalk.com (free site) which is fun. You map your route like you're using MapQuest and then it asks you how long it took you to walk it and calculates your MPH and calories and stuff. SO glad my sister showed that site to me.

    Well ladies I totally screwed up my progress. Was away most of the weekend and didn't do the Shred again!!! also I havent been able to record my food.... I am not sure what to do about the workout. I am so far behind I think I need to start over? as for the food I am going to be recordiong again starting today.

    I have felt so crappy for over a week now... thought it was TOM and would pass after a couple days and id be back, but that hasnt arrived yet... Sigh.....

    Well I think I am on Day 16 all told. I went back to level 1 and will try level 2 again soon (maybe next week.). It doesn't bother me that I am further behind than most of you here, because I am seeing results and I am actually exercising. I hope that those of you that are still working on this challenge will stick with it. Maybe we will start something else.
