30 Day Shred Challenge (September 15-October 15)

L2 D8 done -- I sure didn't think I was going to last this out the first few days of Level 1, but it is seeming to be more doable. I'm kinda curious about what Level 3 will be like?

Love the 30 Day Shred , Im on day 8L1. Jillian Is my hero she can bring it !!

wondering how all ladies are doing on this challenge? Please share, I plan to go buy the video I hope it's not to much for someone nearing 54

Level 3 Day 2 in the books... I am regaining my love for the shred.

I think level 2 is just a dud. lol. I loved level 1 and I love level 3. Level 2.... blech.

Level 2 stinks! Just push through you can do it!

Level 3 Day 3 in the books... 7 more shredding days... and um, no six pack lmao

Hello to all of my fellow Shredders! Sorry that I haven't been around. :ohwell:

A week ago my grandmother slipped in her garden after planting her beloved tomatoes. She fractured her hip and ended up having emergency hip surgery. She is 79 years old and battled pancreatic cancer 5 years ago. It is practically a miracle that she is still here today to tell you about it. Needless to say, having her in a hospital setting has been scary. She has pulled through like a champ and we were able to get her discharged from the hospital on Wednesday evening. She was transported to a very nice health center for rehabilitation nursing and is doing great, considering.

Needless to say, I haven't missed a beat with school and have spent every waking hour not at school in her hospital room. I have been eating out almost everyday with various family members and have not been able to do any sort of workout. I did 30DS up to L2D5. I was supposed to do L2D6 on the day she had her accident. At this point, I have missed a week and feel like maybe I should just start over when things settle down a bit.

I wish amazing success for those of you still pushing through! I know it hasn't been easy! I look forward to reading your results. I am hoping to be back in the full swing of things in about a week. Thank you for all of the support that you have given me along the way. Until this incident, you guys helped keep me accountable and provided the added push I needed to stay committed to 30DS. I will be joining in the 30DS fun next week, hopefully! :flowerforyou:

I too fell off the wagon and I am ready to get back on.

I got hit with a nasty stomach bug and I am finally feeling back to my old self. I've noticed that I have already lost so me of the muscle that I had gained before.

cherry, I'd be happy to try again with you. If there is one thing I have learned from MFP is that I shouldn't be worried about when I fail, the point is just to get up and try again. :laugh:

I am definitely getting back to it! I might be able to start this week, but more than likely it will be a week from now. I will be on the hunt for another group to join and it would be awesome if we did it together!

L3 D5 -- I can almost see the end. L3 is where I seem to be noticing more results. My shoulder muscles & abs are a bit sore the next day. Just enough so that I feel it working. I am trying to work my way to the advance moves, and I have been able to do a few of the plank arm switch thingies. (forgot the name) I am surprised at the workout the scissor kicks give my legs. I was trying to drop my legs lower, but then decided to do them higher without bending my knees. I will eventually get there - bit by bit.

I should be on my last day but I was really not well last week. When you are wondering if you might throw up doing planks... um... anyway.

I am starting level 3 over again today. I don't feel like I want to go all the way back to day 1, lol.

PammyKY,
I'm up for another try. Hopefully there I'll be no sick days this time!
