(28th) group of 30 day shred / part 2

Other than on Sundays, I'm doing double workouts while on 30DS. This morning I did a 5.5 mile run followed by Day 4-L1. I've noticed that it's a little bit easier despite being exhausted from my run. I need to work on getting my butt back on the side lunges. Seems I'm leaning and not squatting on the bent leg like I should be...

Hope everyone has a GREAT day!

Day Two of Level One for JM's 30 Day Shred. WHOO!!

Yesterday was pretty difficult... I honestly did not expect to be THAT hard. Today was a little easier I think because I knew what to expect. I'm actually really proud of myself, even though it's only day 2 of 30DS and day 5 of my diet. I feel like this is something I can really stick to.

I haven't posted my measurements yet because for the life of me I cannot locate a soft tape measure, hahaha.

How is everyone doing? Is anyone else dieting? Any dieting tips?

How often are you all taking measurements? I'm thinking of just taking them halfway through and at the end.

think I'll just measure at the end, i don't tend to measure v. often as i like to see big losses when I do measure!

Day 2, level 1 complete. Just for the record I really hate doing pushups and side lunges with the anterior raise. I was really sore this morning, but I feel great now that I've done my workout for the day. I am also doing a 5K training program using Nike+ I just started yesterday. We will see if I can keep up with both programs.

I hate the SAME things! lol At least today I think I got my butt back on the side lunges!

OK, finished Day 5. So far my best workout. Could be because I didn't have a 5 mile run before it! Finally did ALL the push ups on my toes, and I didn't have to modify the jumping jacks because I remembered to take pain meds for my knee BEFORE I went to bed last night.

I measured at Day 3, and I'll measure at the end. I tend to only measure once a month.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Hi there

I've just done day 4 L1, still loving it and looking forward to level 2, and also looking forward to the day that I'll be able to do all the push ups on my toes, nice job Mscaramarie! I can do about 10 in the first set, then about 5 in the second set ... do you think it's all in my head (like running) ... surely I should be able to do 10 each go .. hmmm ... might push for that tomorrow!

Happy shredding!

Did it twice yesterday! Well proud! Did level 1 in the morning then in the afternoon decided to have a sneak peak at level 2! I did pretty well, hopefully by the time it gets to day 11 I'll be able to move on to it! It's a lot more fun than level 1. So yes, that was day 5 and 6, today is day 7. Struggling to find the motivation today, LO is asleep in the living room and once she wakes up it'll be a case of rushing to get her ready before I meet my friend, so will prob end up trying to squeeze it in tonight :-S

Finished L1D6. Nice, if I do say so myself. I did 25 minutes of HIIT before starting on 30DS. I thought it would kill me, but nope, stamina has increased. Nothing like dropping 2# of sweat in under a hour!

Everyone have a great day!

Hi all

I'm on L1 day 5, still loving it, I tried to do the same number of pushups on my toe for each round, but I just couldn't, I seriously think I would have collapsed, so I'll have to work on that, 10 first round then 6 second round today ...

Happy shredding everyone!

L1D7 is done! Good workout, I peeked ahead to see L2... Looks like it's going to be fun!

ROCK ON!

I took a day off when I did my long run this week, but picked it up yesterday. Tonight will be Day 8 of Level 1. So close to moving into the next level!!!

Did a jog this morning before shred Day 8. Did all the squats with raises in the first circuit that I normally struggle with.

My calves are really really starting to hurt now. Especially on the right leg where I broke my ankle a few years ago. Am a bit worried I might have to stop at some point. :-( Going to the physio tomorrow about something else so will see what they say!
