    Day 1 done but oh my goodness! This body is not jumping jack friendly!!! Wish I could say that I did it all the way without short breaks but I'd be so lying. And push ups...give me a break! lol :) Kudos to you all who did. I hope this does get easier, whew!

    How did you all calculate for your exercise? I put in 9min of strength, 6min of cardio (aerobic), and 3 min of situps.

    Finished day 3 of Level 1 - I can already feel an improvement from just two days ago, especially in my endurance in the cardio portions. I'm not sure I'll ever be good at push ups, but I figure whatever I do is better than zero! I'm definitely sore in my abs and quads, though!

    This was actually my 5th day (going to miss next week so figured I could still join for October). I must say, the improvement I see in only five days is phenomenal. I wish I would have tried this two years ago when I first started MFP. If so, I would probably be close to goal weight by now. I've been doing the elliptical runner mostly and I can see now where the strength training and ab work is going to make a huge difference. I would reach plateaus on the runner and give up for a few months. I can already feel the difference and I am only at level 1.

    But did I read correctly, people actually do this twice in one day? LOL

    Day 2L1 completed....oh man iam goona try to get my workouts in the morning cause its hard to do it later in the day...i kept coming up with reasons why i should wait till later till i got too 11:35pm when i finally forced myself to get up. So happy the kids are back to school tomorrow, hoping to do it once they leave and be done with it for the rest of the day. Hope everyone is doing great.

    Day 4 of Level 1 is done - I wasn't going to do it tonight because it was 10:30pm and I was tired and I didn't want to and MAN those four or five bites of lemon meringue pie that my mom had just made were SO good and I could definitely go for a slice or two or maybe three; but NO! I said to myself, clenched my teeth, and just did it. No pie, only sweat, and man, does it feel good. (: I can feel myself getting better at the push ups - minimal breaks, though I'm still only on the modified ones.

    Also measured myself last night, so here they are:

    Waist: 29.5"
    Hips: 36"
    Thigh: 21"
    Calf: 14"
    Upper Arm: 11"

    Oct 2nd, Day 1 yesterday.

    Breakfast: 3 egg whites, tom, onion, cheddar cheese (should have skipped but might as well get the last peices out of the house), wheat wrap, taco sauce
    Coffee
    Lunch: Nutrisystem wedding soup
    More coffee
    Dinner at the BF's rents house: 2 teryaki steak tips, corn on the cob (no butter), tomato wedges, cucumber spears, 1/4 cup pasta. Diet soda.
    I didn't count my water intake for the day but I imagine it wasn't enough.
    Worked out just before bed. 3# weights - which kill me on the move with the side lunge and raising my arms forward. Also pushups on knees.


    today i need to do my measurements/photos, I need to keep track of my water, figure out a healthy UBER CHEAP meal plan, and I'd like to do 30ds every AM and with ambitious days also do another dvd since I know I can do more cardio.

    Wow I woke up this morning and my arms are killing me. I was thinking of not using the weighs today because I'm so sore. What do you all think? What do you do when you're really sore from the day before?

    I have all those who have posted their current measurements and weight on a spread sheet to keep up on a weekly basis. If you would like me to input the weekly updates just message me your measurements every week. Good Job Everyone!!! Keep it up and keep supporting one another. I personally am extremely sore. I don't do the jumping jacks because they hurt so I just do some other sort of cardio to keep my heart rate up. And those push ups!! ugh!!


    Although, anyone is welcome to join this group, I will not be adding anyone else to my spreadsheet. It takes too much looking back and forth and I have already set it up. So good luck to all!!

    This is my second time doing this and It does get easier but not until day 4 or 5, and not that much easier LOL! But next thing you know, you are breezing through the jumping jacks, adding the "hard" pushups and seeing your clothes fit looser.

    You can count it as circuit traning for the entire time, but the best thing to do is get a heart rate monitor and record it as a customized workout. But circuit training most closely describes what Jillian has us doing.

    You're going to be really sore the first few days no matter what you do. You can use lighter weigths and put them down when you need to and continue the moves without them. Listen to your body though. If you hurt you self you wont be able to excercise.

    I did my second 30DS workout last night, and got a friend to try it too (she was coming to stay over and I said, bring stuff to workout!) It was harder this time since I was a bit sore from the first day and I also went for a run yesterday. Bit sore this morning but I'll be in for my butt kicking again tonight hahaha.
    We also took our measurements last night so that will help me track my progress.

    I don't have measurements becuase I left both of my tapes at my friends house making a costume.
    Starting weight 146 @ 5'8"

    Day 2, so far so good, still a struggle on 2nd sets but that's fine I'd father be tough then too easy



    for whoever asked about not using weights becuase their muscles hurt today:
    use your smallest weights, if those seem to be heavy (ie you can't get through the entire workout becuase you're turning into jello and you can't perform even the mod the exercise properly), then put them down once you get to that shaky point - but don't give up on the weights entirely.
    if you get through it and your muscles aren't exhausted - up your weights a little.
