    Day 3 done this afternoon then I had a PTO meeting tonight. I felt the burn with every stair a climbed today but I know that this a Nice burn and that my body is slowly changing. I am glad I start this because it is Girl Scout cookie time and my daughter is selling them.

    Congrats!! Not sure about the safeness. I was always told that if you were doing it before you were pregnant and it was your lifestyle then you should continue, but not to just start something new. However, I would call in to the doctors and ask them. If you don't have the dr. appointments yet, you can always call in and speak with the nurse on the nurse line. :)

    Day 3 was great! Although for me, I have done this video (especially level 1) quite a few times, just not all the way through the 30 days just off an on. So, I think my muscles are used to the exercises, but I did notice tonight my muscles were thinking "Um, we've done this the past few days... can we have a break?" And I just told them no, gotta get through the 30! Haha.

    I'm excited to get to Level 2 and 3 because I really haven't dabbled into them yet! I hope everyone is staying dedicated and really making the workouts count! I know for me it's the shortest yet most satisfying workout when you're done and makes me feel great!

    I'm pairing the video w/ lots and lots of cardio and healthy eating! So far I've been doing 15-30 minutes of interval training on the treadmill (walking/running) and then 30 min on the elliptical.

    Is anyone else incorporating other workouts into their routine... if so which ones and how do you like the dual workout?!

    Enough chatter for me! Happy Shredding! :)

    Finished day 3. It is getting easier. My legs are in pain, but the rest of the body is finally pain free. Will most likely increase my weights tomorrow for a bit more of a challenge. Great job everyone :-)

    Day 3 is done along with about 2 hours at the gym. 60 min on the elliptical and about 50 minutes of strength training. Love seeing all the calories burned :) I have a HRM, but have yet to use it. It looks so complicated LOL It is like a watch, but there are so many functions. I will have to be brave and try to figure it out :) Everyone is doing great!!! Keep up the good work!!

    I use an HRM and I love it! It's called the ePulse2 Strapless Heart Rate Monitor/Calorie Counter

    http://www.amazon.com/Impact-Sports-Technologies-ePulse2-Personal/dp/B004BHBGCY

    It was recommended to me by another MFP on here and I had previously done my OWN research and knew that the most accurate ones have chest straps and there was no way I would stick w/ one that had a chest strap so this was a great option for me! I know there are other awesome options out there (and this one is a bit pricey), but I love having the accountability right on my arm and it makes me push harder to get to a higher number! :)

    I took Friday as a rest day from Jillian but did laundry and cleaned the house. I did day 4 yesterday. I have a birthday party this afternoon but I plan to do 30ds after I get home.

    I gained a little bit this week but lose 2 1/4 inches so I think this is still good.

    congrats Jacquelyn913

    You all are doing so well. Love to hear of inches and weight lost. :) I did not do 30 DS last night. Quite bummed now. Kids had friends over and we hogging the downstairs. Having fun, so didn't ask them to leave. Will do it today for sure. No more skipped days!

    Also wanted to add that this is the time I have stopped on 30 DS in the past. Determined not to let that happen again.

    Day 8 done this morning. I'm dreading level 2 but feel more ready for it this time. Maybe it will be better this time around!
