30 day shred 5/31 start

I also didn't get to start tonight, after being so excited. But, I unfortunately do not have any excuses....lol my husband and I decided to have an "off" night and eat out...one weakness I need to break horribly!!! But, good news is I logged every calorie eaten, which I normally don't do when I know it is going to be so bad. So, progress is progress is I guess! I will begin again tomorrow!!! Also, I normally add a 30 minute walk in before or after the video, which I did do the walk today. As for the question of whether to go by the mfp calorie tracker or the hrm calorie loss....I would say go with the heart rate monitor as I always feel like I burn more than the calorie counter says-but I just go with that so I don't go over. Either way, good luck everyone and can't wait to hear and see the results!!!

Day one for me today too, very hard, especially the skipping and the push-ups - ouch! My legs were like jelly afterwards. I logged it as vigorous calisthenics 20min (gives same result as circuit training actually).

Coincidentally started day one this morning. Bring on the other 29.

oooh count me in I have my dvd havnt started yet will bust it out tomorrow

I wasn't able to get the DVD. I will remove my self from this Challenge I will join another group.

day 2 completed! i almost didnt do it because i am so sore but i'm glad i did. i feel like i accomplished something. :-)

Day 2 down! I also thought it was much harder today than yesterday, especially doing the strength work. My puny arms aren't used to some many lifts! I'll be sending friend requests to those of you who said it was ok to add you.

Still haven't been able to find my measuring tape. My little imps must have hidden it from me.

Ouch!! Is about all I have to say about day 2. My quads were literally shaking during the squats and lunges, and I'm afraid I find the push-ups utterly horrible, my arms and chest are killing me and that was just doing them from my knees. However this is a good thing right? This means major muscle toning and building is going on and we have to have pain to progress or we'll never get through level 3 to the end. So fight on kids!!

My weigh in day is tomorrow so I'm going to weigh and measure then and will post my start weight/measurements tomorrow.

Keep going team!

Did day one this morning as I went to bed super early last night. Thank goodness for my wonderful hubby! I normally do not exercise in the morning, as I usually wait until kids are asleep, however they slept in so I got an early start! I have to say I loved it and may start trying to do mornings from now on. This is the first morning I've ever done 30 day shred (1st day of this 30days) that it didn't absolutely kill me! That is a good thing I guess. How is everyone else doing with it? Has anyone ever finished the entire 30 days before? This is only my second time starting it and last time I got through about 3 days and quit. My goal is to get through 30 days without a break then take a 5-7 day break from it and do other cardio. Then start back in doing it again but maybe 6 days a week instead of 7. Any thoughts?

I did the Shred once before but it took me a month and a half--at least. This time I am bound and determined to do it 30 days straight. And thanks to this group and having some accountability I know I can do it, Really if not for this group I woukdn't have "Shredded" yesterdat and today so thanks.

kcarreno - sounds like a good plan you have there. Since doing the first Shred I've done it or one of Jillian's other DVDs. I kind of like her style.

That aside I did day 3 today. I am sore but I managed to get through it and I am definitely feeling stronger. I do like doing it in the early evening/afternoon as opposed to after i've put the little guy to bed.

Day 3 is D-O-N-E... done! Feeling great already! Great work everyone for sticking with it!

Day 3 down. I have to say that I hate anterior raises. Seriously, with two kids, I must have moved my arms out in front of me like that before the past three days. Why it's so darn hard to do with 3lb weights!!!! :P

I have tried to do 30 days of Shred before, but never followed through. I think I blamed it on my ankle (all those jumping jacks), but I think what really happened is that I caught up with life.

Speaking of which...Need to get the kids bathed and in bed. Have a nice night ladies!

Oh my goodness those anterior raises kill me the most! I absolutely hate them! I start out with my 2.5 pound weights, then half way through the second set I have to drop the weights and just lift my arms... LOL! I cant wait for the day when I can push through them with the weight!
