October Shredders!!!!!!!!

Just finished day 3 and I thought I'd share this... I mentioned in my last post that I'd spend some time on the cross trainer and doing the warm up on my 'Pump it up' DVD because my knees hurt so much after doing the shred last night, well today was quite an improvement, they still ache, but I don't think I'll be quitting because of it! I also feel like I've recovered from the whole thing better for having a better warm up, so if anyone else is having knee or other joint problems, try a warm up from another DVD.

Is it me, or does anyone wish Jillian would shut up a bit? I know you can mute her, but I'm not quite at the point where I know the DVD well enough to do that yet, but she just doesn't stop going on!! Be quiet woman!!! And I still hate jumping jacks, they make my knees hurt so when Jillian says everyone can do them I want to throw my weights at her :grumble:

Well I need a shower and a nice hot cup of tea after this mornings workout (692 cals including 'warm ups'!)

i've learned that I tolerate Jillan better at night, so I'lll do the 30ds then..lol

I'm going to have to start tonight, i spent all weekend painting our new house, so jillian michaels would not of been my friend , as much as i could use it lol ! I havnt uploaded my pictures due to the fact that i babysit 8-5 every day and havnt brought my computer , but have been using the little girls dad's computer, and im not sure his wife would appreciate finding pictures of me on his computer (whether i delete them off or not, some people can find anything LOL ) I will take my measurements later today as well!

I say better late then never !!!

Feeling pretty frustrated and need some support ladies. I just weighed (for another challenge) and I am up 2 lbs. from my last weigh in. WTH. I stayed with calorie goal and yes, did eat exercise calories, and I worked out a lot this weekend. Why am I up?? I was really expecting a loss.

Don't worry too much (easier said than done!) I read recently that when you start some new exercise and stress out your muscles they hold on to extra water while they heal, I don't know how true that is, but it sounds good lol! Also have you been eating lots of sodium? That would do it too.

If you're doing everything right, ignore the scales for now and see what they say in a few days. Drink loads of water too!!

Just a question for everybody. Do you do the shred in the morning, afternoon, or evening and why? I normally wake up for work at 4:30 and don' t want to get up any earlier but after the first workout (that nearly killed me) I'm starting to think I should do it in the morning just to get it over with. I don't get home from work until 5:45-6:00pm then with dinner and waiting for awhile after I eat would put me at about 7:00-7:30. Ugh, decisions decisions. So let's hear what you do.

mornings are the best! waking up is hard, but you will feel better knowing its done! with that said, i slept in this morning so i have to do it this evening, lol, once again, mornings are hard.

Amber393 - What's your job? I couldn't help notice the headset in your pic. It looks like the same we have. I'm a dispatcher for a 911 Center.

Day 2 went well. My booty & chest are a little sore. I guess I'm getting deeper into the moves now. I was able to do it yesterday morning, but htis week will only be at night. I may have to skip Friday because I work all day and then have a wedding that night. Unless I can force myself to start at 11 pm or later that night.

I too have gained 1LB from Friday till today ! And yes people, I DO weigh myself every day.... I am addicted, and obssessed ! So I have started upping my water, lets see if that helps ! I also ate a bigger breakfast today. I dont usually eat my excercise cals back, so I was hoping there would be some kind of loss going on.... for not being able to move ANYTHING that is the least I would expect, darnnit !!

I LOVE the banner, and WANT IT !! How do I get it ?!?

Will be posting later on in my blog about my early morning D3 experience - check it out and let me know how you guys are feeling !

Hi just found you -started on the 1st & didn't realise there was a group. Can I still join?


ps hating those jumping jacks!!

The boy and I did ours today and there was still much grunting and yelling. My shoulders and I are in a fight. I'm HORRIBLE at pushups and that anterior raise thing, but I think I had done enough work on my legs so that Jillian's stuff isn't killing them. Do you think it's ok if I do C25K at the same time as this? I started it last week and think I have to repeat the first week, but I want to keep both going. I don't think I'll die, but who knows?

I combined both and had great results in March! Good luck

ok how about now....

i cant get it either!

Is it too late to join this? I know your original post said you were closing this group as the 1st but I also started 30DS on the 1st just on my own.

Can I join up with you guys? If not I understand. Thanks.
