I don't know about you guys but sometimes I really dread working out and then afterwards it feels great. It especially feels great to tell someone else that you did it! So, if you want to, after you workout, come and tell us about it here.

I just got done with Ripped in 30 Day 1. :-)

    I love this idea Curlygirl! It really helps me get motivated when I see how many people have completed their workouts for the day.

    That is exactly, *exactly* how I felt before workout today! In fact, I almost had myself talked out of starting today, thinking about my busy week ahead, my daughter took a long time to get down for nap, excuses, excuses... But, I did it and immediately jumped on here so I could talk about it!

    I too did week one of Ripped in 30 and can't wait to go again tomorrow!

    Thanks for the thread, curlygirl!

    I really like this idea! I have no one really to tell lol SO it is super helpful to have to "check in" with MFP!

    Today I did Level 1 Day 6 of the 30 Day Shred. I definitely did NOT want to today because I wanted very badly to get to the mall lol Victoria's Secret is having their semi-annual sale and I desperately needed a new bra and some undies! :-P But I pushed myself to do it before going. Whew. I hope I can keep on keepin' on to the end!

    WTG Everyone for pushing it!

    You all kicked butt today! Great job!!! :):):)

    I definitely need a place to check in. Sometimes when I really am resisting the workout, I'll come to a thread like this, see what everyone has accomplished and it motivates me to get moving. So THANK YOU!

    I was a machine today. Cto5K run, RI30 and 6W6P. That's a little extreme for me. I was avoiding work. :laugh: Wondering how sore I'm gonna be tomorrow.:ohwell:

    Hi guys good for you for getting your workouts today. you all deserve to pat yourselves on the back. I wish i read this thread earlier today coz i talked myself out of working out and am now feeling horrible. Tomorow is a new day and i'll get the good feeling that you guys all got after your workouts

    Good job everybody....and thank you curlygirlcami for starting this thread. This is exactly what I was hoping for when starting this group. I'm positive that we have together a great group that's going to keep us motivated this year.

    I know EXACTLY how you feel! I get like that too...even on my "rest" days I feel BLAH and bad about it. When I feel like Im going to talk myself out of my workout I just try and remember that horrible feeling of NOT doing one.

    Also I find that if I dont think/worry about TOMORROW and just focus on what I need to accomplish today (working out and eating healthy) I'm much more postive and in the right frame of mind. Sometimes it can really get overwhelming thinking about doing this every day for the rest of my life! haha.

    Started of my second week of my bootcamp with level 3 and 2 of Kb&t. Its a tough combination but ill hang in there for another three two times, then Ill change level 2 to level 1 instead.

    I'm logging off of here right now to go do No More Trouble Zones...one of the hardest JM videos for me to do. If I'm really motivated I might do 6w6p too b/c we're having one of DH's friends staying with us for the next 5 days and I won't be able to do any exercise dvds with him around.

    I made it through L1D4 RI30 despite a raging headache (though the exercise helped and now it is just about gone!). I really like RI30. L1 isn't really that different from L1 30DS, but the small differences make it a better workout for me. I really, really like having 3 different strength moves in each circuit - it makes them seem so much more doable.

    Now I've just got to motivate myself to do my workout for the hundred push up challenge. I know Jillian helps with this but I don't think it will be enough. Great job to all you ladies sticking with it - you're doing great!!

    Thanks for that info about RI30 Julie - - 3 different strength moves instead of just 2 like the shred? Seems like something I may be interested in.... if it makes it seem easier to get it done.

    Today I finished L1D7 of the 30DS. I feel as if my body is changing already and I love it. I am trying very hard not to obsess over what the scale says, I should REALLY hide it and only check once/week. Still - I am happy with the numbers going down.

    Happy Wednesday everyone! <3

    Rest day today. I needed it! I'm sore!!!

    No more trouble zones + ab ripper x.
    Havent done NMTZ in over three months, and its no joke how weak my arms are in some moves. But then again there where others where I could feel a huge difference in strength, Killer buns and Ripped has really made med connect with my glutes, haha! The hipthrusts were really easy! Even though I had to struggle in some parts, I still used my new 6 lbs dumbells in some moves, just for the fun of it.

    Doing Ab ripper following was a challenge but I made it through with a lot of breaks.
  • I started 30DS this morning and my arms are a little sore when I lift them. I also got 6W6P and I want to start that this weekend. Jillian is tough but I have a feeling this will help me stick to it. :) Reading what others have accomplished definitely gives me motivation.

    Started lvl2 of 30DS here today. I went through 30DS this past summer, but forgot how hard it is when you first bump up a level! So, I'm pretty sore, but since I work 12 hours tomorrow, it'll have to be a rest day. So, I was thinking about starting 6W6P tonight...

    Just got done with Ripped in 30, Day 2. Man, it's hard! It feels good to be done with it though.

    Glad to hear the good reports from everyone! Keep up the good work! :-)

    I have 5 more days left of the 30 DS! I am so proud of myself for making it this far! One of my goals was to complete it :-) Almost there! I feel FANTASTIC! Lol :-)

    I hope everyone is enjoying their workouts! :-) There's just so much more energy pulsing through me! hahahaha!

    L1D5 of RI30 done! I definitely need a rest day but I'm saving it for the weekend. For me, it is easier to work out at lunch and my co-worker joins me so between the two of us, we can usually get motivated every day. Today I did something I never thought I'd do - I made it through not 1, but both sets of pushups with no modifications! I signed up for the 100 Push Up Challenge and have been slacking so really pushed myself and it worked out : )

    You ladies are doing great - keep it up!

    Didn't do any video today, but did some quick strength training....25 squat rows, 25 lunges with a bicep curl, and 25 kettlebell swings...got that in before work...it's been a long, stressful week. I'll have to get back at it tomorrow. I had plans to do my workout when I got home from work, but I just got home and I'm half asleep. WHAT A DAY!!!!

    Killer buns level 3 and 1. Easier then level 3 and 2 combined but still hard. I prefer doing 1 because theres more cardio so ill stick with this combo a while.
