    had an unplanned rest day yesterday due to being out with the family all day onto Day6Lv1 tonight ;-)
  • Yeah, I too had a "rest" day yesterday. My boyfriend came to town for the first time since August, so we just spent time together. I would like to say I had a workout during the football game I took him to, though, haha. Standing for 4 hours straight (with only 5-10 minutes to sit during halftime), while yelling your guts out and waving a towel is all quite draining, haha.

    He took me out to eat, which is the first time I've gone out to eat since, well, August pretty much. I've been really good with my eating habits. I was proud though, I ate like 1/4 or 1/5 of my plate and packed up the rest to spread out over the next few days.

    He told me he could see a difference in me and that I "look amazing", which made me happy! I was hoping he would since he hadn't seen me in like 2 months lol.

    Back to the grind today, though... siiiigh. L1D7 here I come!

    Hey everyone!

    So I just finished L1D7. I had a really difficult time today because I just didn't have a lot of energy. I finished circuit 1 strength, and then I gave up and grabbed some water. But then walking back to my room, I realized that I didn't want to quit and waste a day, so I restarted the workout and finished it. I'm pretty proud that I stuck it out, but I'm also kinda bummed that I didn't give 110%. I think I was really drained from my run yesterday, so I don't know if I'm going to do extra cardio today. I know that I should because I'm going home to see my family and friends in 2 weeks. As of today, I just burned off 3500 calories in a week, which is great, but I feel like I need to work out more. I really want them to notice a big change in my body, and I have a boy back home that I'm hoping to impress, but I guess we'll see.

    I also had a "rest" day yesterday - although only from the 30DS.... we went for a bike ride and then did a hike up this "INCLINE" trail...and they were NOT kidding when they named it!!! I made it 15 minutes of this incline, before we turned around and headed back down. We made it up to a marker so that next time we can aim to go farther!. So my "rest" day was pretty active!

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    That's so awesome that you decided to stick it out! Great dedication!

    I have 18 days until my weekend getaway (where I have to be in a swim suit) so I need to use that as my motivation to not give up!

    Day 8 today!

    I woke up early and finished L1D8. Jillian has been giving me the motivation to wake up and get fit. I wasn't so pumped to do it, but I buckled down and did work son lol. I took a rest from the extra cardio yesterday, but I'm going to get back on track today. On another happy note, I wore a pair of jeans yesterday that were tight before and they're loose now! My roommate even commented on my weight loss, but that might just be because she sees me working out everyday. I have 10 days before I go home, and hopefully this will give me the motivation to work my butt off!

    Hi all.... Hope you are still going strong with the 30 Day Shred!
    I've been offline for a few days and will catch up with messages in the next day or two and get any additional measurements posted in spreadsheet and get link sent out to those who do not have it.
    Daughter and i have had a minor stall in our workouts, but will be back on track tomorrow.

    Yes, you can. Just forward measurements when you get them and i'll get you added to spreadsheet and send you the link.
    we are measuring on Day 1, Day 11, Day 21 and Day 31 (day after the shred is done).

    Aww I lost this thread! I have been doing it every day (except I take Sundays as an off day). My day 10 is monday. I do have my measurements and weight if its not too late!! I blog my workout every day lol. The first 3 days were a nightmare...did you guys have a hard time the first couple of days? My calves were hard as rocks and I could barely move but I forced myself to do the workout. Ive been doing pilates right after too to try to help with the muscles being so tight. Ive already lost some inches but gained almost 2 lbs. Are you guys measuring at the end of every week or the end of every level? (10 days?). I am taking measurements on Monday so lemme know pls if its not too late. if it is too late its not a problem!

    Edited to say that I see now from your first post that you are taking measurement at the end of every 10 days. So I will holler at you on Monday and let you know where I started and where I am at if its not too late for me to join. Also I am taking photos on measurement days as well.

    Never too late to do measurements. Just let me know what day you are on that you are sending measurements. I'm tracking (roughly) Day 1, Day 11, Day 21 and Day 31.

    On to L1D8 today too! I am so pumped because yesterday I got through the entire workout without stopping. The last thing I want to do is do regular pushups instead of on my knees. If I can accomplish that in the next two days it's on to level 2. Lets go!!!

    I just finished L1D9 today. Although I didn't wake up as early today to do it, I did get out of bed and completed it. I ate breakfast beforehand, and I definitely had a lot more energy to complete the work out. Before I was doing the 30DS first thing in the morning before food, and it was a lot harder than today. I don't know if it was because I had fuel to push myself or because I'm almost done with level 1. So far I've been following Natalie except for the push ups, so I can't wait to graduate from level 1 tomorrow. Yesterday I've also decided to start the C25K as my extra cardio, and I have to say that the 30DS has really improved my endurance with running as well. Overall I'm super pumped and excited, and I hope everyone else keeps up the good work!!!

    I tried not eating..and then eating just a banana or powerbar before hand.....no good...I have to actually eat a full breakfast now..let it settle, and then I can do the workout with energy and really put forth good effort into it. I think you will it necessary now that you have done it :-) Good job on completion! We are almost at the same level - I start level 2 today! Although I take sundays off so next week you will have surpassed me :-)

    For those who dont have the link to the spreadsheet, please message me. Or if you sent your measurements and I do not have them posted. Sometimes the messaging system on here is weird and I've had people not receive my messages or vice versa.

    I'm excited to see how everyone else is doing on their progress.
    I had 3 days of "sick-leave" from the program so rather than say that tonight is Day 5 for me, I'm starting back as it is Day 1. I'm determined to complete the 30 days in a row with no stopping in between.

    *dusting off dvd and ready for workout tonight*

    Well my right knee is doing bad this week......I am prob going to give it the day off...unless it feels better later then I will hop up and do my workout. However, if tomorrow is good I will make up with doing level 2 and doing a level 1 afterwards.

    I was down in bed for 6 months with that stupid knee so I do not dare let it get me down again!!

    Hey Everyone!!!

    So I just finished L1D10! I'm really excited to move onto L2 tomorrow, but I'm kind of afraid of the extreme soreness lol. Tomorrow morning I'm going to take my measurements, but I can tell that my thighs are a lot firmer, and my butt is a bit perkier. I really wish my arms would shrink though; they are my problem area. I ran on the treadmill last night even though I didn't really want to, so I'm happy that I stuck with that, and hopefully tonight I'll do it again. Keep up the good work everyone!
