Ahh, Sunday. One of the best days of the week, in my opinion.

I'm happy to say that a lot of my original soreness has gone away, but I'm already starting to feel changes in my body. Arms feel more toned, legs too. Can't wait for the 15th so we can all take our weight and measurements.

How's everyone doing? Anything to share?

Have a great day gals!

    I feel pretty terrible...Im not winning the fight against this cold trying to take over. Im hoping at some point today I will be able to do my workout. I would be really disappointed if I skipped a day. I HATE being sick!!! Grrr!

    Just finished Day 6. I have a ton of things to do - kids, house, work, but made this a priority. Very proud of myself. The normal "me" would have skipped on a day like today. My thighs feel sore when I do the lateral lunges and the front lunges, but in a good way. I also feel like my cardio endurance is improving greatly. I HAVE to keep this up. What a great feeling.

    Totally agree about the HAVE to keep it up! I've done push up before but never "pushed through" the soreness and now I feel invincible! So strong and my cardio endurance feels like it has tripled! I'm feeling like an addict with a new drug!:laugh:
    Sooo, must go Shred!

    Happy Shredding Everyone!

    So I went home for a night on friday and havent been able to do the shred since thursday! So I am actually going to try to do it 3 times today, and if not, two today and two tomorrow.

    Also I wasnt able to eat under my cal goal at all, but I sure payed attention to what I was eating and was trying to be careful.

    Well Im not really sore anymore and it feels great! Well I will post whats going on later!

    That bit gets me too every time! Yet I find the last 2 mins of cardio dead easy...

    So 6 days in and I am noticing a difference - I was a mess after Day 1, now it's not so bad. Even those press ups I thought I'd never do are manageable, can't do them without knees on the floor but it's a start!

    I have heard from several people that you do gain weight at first. They have said it seems to fall off and more starting in the 3rd week.

    Okay, so Saturday night I was all about it. Started the dvd around 915PM and then ran 4.5 miles. This was after working for my old employer all day and then doing work for my current employer when I got home. Sunday, on the other hand, was a different story. Me and my bf went to breakfast, I got an omelet instead of my chocolate chip pancakes and went to my softball game and took my dog to the park. When I got home I snacked with my bf on quaker snacks and chips and salsa. Then, I was just so tired and took a 30 min nap, went to the grocery store and made dinner. I just couldn't get the workout in due to lack of motivation........
