Jillian Michaels Body Revolution

noahsmom - It is hard to fit in a workout when you're traveling. I got behind on my schedule with just the few days we were out of town. (did not have the energy to workout when we got home Wednesday night - all that driving wore me out!)

cassandranken - That's a good reminder - my current shoes are getting old and probably need to buy a new pair soon.

I just finished Week 2! I did cardio yesterday when I biked 4 miles with my son (who is a runner and I'm not anymore). We don't have a flat surface in our neighborhood except our driveway so it was a good workout going up and down those hills! Then I finished Workout 2 this morning. I know that switches the days but I think as long as I keep moving, I'm doing okay I noticed I'm down another 1/4" in my abs which is a total of 3/4" in the first 2 weeks! I didn't do so well in the nutrition dept. yesterday but exercising definitely makes me want to eat better (and drink my water).

Good luck to everyone starting their workouts over the next couple of days of this new year!

mellie289 - Congrats on starting Week 3! I'm a month behind you and just did Phase 1, Week 3, Workout 3. That kicked me butt. I loved all the glute work but it was difficult trying to keep up with Jillian. She doesn't stop - which is good!

I think it was hilarious that in this workout, Jillian tells everyone to pick up heavy weights and then when she says she will be logging it in later, many of the people in the video lay down the weight they had originally picked up, and select a larger one. Lol!

noahsmom - Yeah for completing Day 1!!

mcl - I agree with you and love this series of workouts! Keep us updated on your progress.

My kids go back to school today which means life returns to our routine, thank goodness, but also means today was going to be busy. I was trying to figure out if I wanted to get my workout done this morning or do it later today. I was voting for pushing it off for later today but then I logged into this site and noticed there were updates in this thread. After reading that others were starting this program and seeing noahsmom working out late at night (way to go!!), I thought if they can do it, I can do it! So I pushed play on the Cardio workout and got it done. There. Done for the day. Such a good feeling!

First half of Week 3 is complete

Every Jan I start it, but never make it past week three for various "excuses" I keep telling myself. I know I DO feel so much better doing it - along with 30 min cardio on the treadmill! I know workouts 1 & 2 so well I could almost quote them!

Hopefully this year will be different as I've written down tiny goals to get to my overall weight loss goal. Also I know logging my food keeps me on track and I lost sight of that.

We ended up traveling last week and I didn't get to start. Did Day 1 Week 1 yesterday and it felt so good. But lord it hurts this morning. The girls in my office also decided to do a biggest loser style challenge because one is in a wedding, one is getting married, and I'm trying to get preggers, so off we go! We are also doing walking DVD's on our breaks. I actually can't wait to workout tonight.

noahsmom - I love those lil smokie sausages - yum! I was so sore that first week of this program and could barely move. But now while I'm still sore, it's not as bad at all. I also have protein shakes in the morning - it's such an easy breakfast which is nice because our mornings are crazy around here.

edryer - Yeah!! That's awesome to have a support group at your work. It definitely helps to have people around you who have the same goals.

amanda - Way to go!! 30ds kicked my butt but I like the variety in this program too. You can't go wrong with any of JM's programs.

I just finished Day 19/90 - which is Phase 1, workout 4. Only one more workout left for this week. I'm having to do the workouts on mute since I'm up early before most in my house are awake. I'm not sure if I miss JM yelling at me
