Hey Kia148 and normusnonaliam!
I know its hard to get motivated to do the shred. I've been trying to wake up early and do the shred first thing, but recently I find my self waking up later and pushing the shred to a little later in the day. The only thing that has been getting me out of bed and doing the workout is the thought of how accomplished I'll feel after I've finally completed this program. This is the first time I've participated in a program, and it is challenging. I'm the type of person that starts out strong on a diet or exercise routine, but then I slowly slack off until I give up completely. I refuse to give up, and this thread has helped to hold me accountable. Anyways, I just wanted you two to know that I'm here cheering you guys on and I'm going through the same issues.
Here's a way I keep myself on track. By the door to my room, I have a few post its asking if I did the shred and my current body measurements and weight. Whenever I see those post its as I leave my room, I push myself to either complete the shred or eat healthier or go to the gym. These constant reminders help to hold me accountable, which I love.
I've also been videotaping a short little segment every day for my personal use. I pretty much just talk about my progress, whether I've completed the shred or not, and whether I want to go to the gym for extra cardio. Once those words or promises leave my mouth and are on that tape, I've always completed the goals that I have set for the day.
Hope this helps! Keep up the good work girls!!!0 -
Ok so D6L2 is done! I'm still sweating up a storm, but that on top of the burning muscles just means that its working! My abs were really sore today, but that made me happy as weird as that sounds. I still hate those plank jacks, but they're getting more tolerable. I'm slowly following Natalie, and I've actually been doing push ups at the end of the walk out-plank-push-up section! Hopefully by the end of the 10 days, I'll be able to follow Natalie through out the whole work out, but that may be pushing it. My D9/10L2 and D1L3 are going to be done on the road, since I'm going home this weekend. This makes me a little nervous because I feel that once I'm home, I'll fall back into bad habits and not do the work out. I guess we will see. Anyways, keep up the good work everyone!!!0

miggyxstardust- you're doing so great! and thanks for the extra motivation! i did attempt the shred yesterday but only made it through 2 circuits because of a vertigo flare-up. i think my vertigo episode happened because i was slightly dehydrated so i'm going to concentrate on drinking lots of water today and doing the shred tonight.
i just feel bad because i live on the second floor and level 2 has so much jumping!
on a side note, i've lost 4 ish lbs since starting and that's pretty awesome!0 -
Going to be doing Day 5 lvl 2 today. My knees are so bad that I have had to skip alot of days this week. but Ive lost another 2.5 inches this week anyway, so I cant wait for my final results at the end of this level! Granted I cant do jumping jacks or jumping rope at ALL but I modify and do something else just as strenous but not as much of an impact on my knees. I am hoping that by level 3 I can do what I need to do. Knees are getting better but boy do they get to hurting sometimes. I will prob do this 30 day challenge again when Im done and after my knees heal up fully.0

Im doing L2D2 today!!!! I know I may be behind some of u but im definetly going to finish this race if it kills me. I really don't see any weight changes yet but I just pray im losing inches...0
-
Ok D7L2 is done!!! I can't believe that I'm getting near the end of level 2. I can't wait to take measurements at the end of L2, but I feel like I haven't dropped any inches. I took my measurements 2 days ago, and they were the same =/ . Oh well, I'm just excited I'm past the half way point, and there is an end in sight! I've also kept up with the extra cardio, which is great! I'm still kind of nervous about this weekend because I know either my workouts and/or my diet is going to be pretty much non-existant when I go home.0

I am so far behind now...today was Level 2 Day 2...but I am going to push through to the end!!

Ok so I just finished D8L2! I didn't sweat as much as I usually do, so maybe that means its getting a little bit easier? I'm getting a lot better at plank position and push ups seeing that improvement makes me happy even though there is no scale improvement =/ Only 2 more days of this level before I can move onto level 3, and I'm excited/frightened by what awaits me.0

Im not sure I should work out on this leg anymore. Its really bad- even with a brace on it all day long. Im really frustrated atm. This si what got me fat in the first place - injuries where I coudlnt walk. Im so angry right now.0
-
I'm a little behind too but determined to finish! Completed L2 D2 tonight and man. It's tough! Every move works your abs! And SO MUCH PLANK MADNESS! But I can't wait to be done with level 2 and see how much stronger I've gotten!0

For those who have their stats on the spreadsheet, I've opened it up for anyone to edit.
I'm not logged in quite as often as I should, so I don't want anyone waiting on me to update.
Please only update your information only.
