Day 3 complete!

I did day 1 on Monday. It went pretty well though I had to take breaks during the cardio. I was all over the strength and abs though :-) It was a great workout and very similar to a class i used to take (though that was only once or twice a week).
Day 2 on Tuesday. I was sore. I couldn't imagine how I was going to do it AGAIN. But I did! I still had to take breaks during the cardio, though perhaps slightly less. I couldn't do the full second set of push ups either, due to the sore muscles. The final bicycle crunches nearly killed me and I went slower than I would have liked. But hey, I DID IT.
Day 3 on Wednesday. Wow. Muscles were screaming all day. I started my day with Motrin and was walking like an 80 year old. I wasn't sure how I would be able to do it tonight, or if I'd be able to do everything. It went WAY better than expected though. I still took breaks during cardio, but surprisingly FAR LESS. Really, I almost made it through the cardio. I may have taken 2 or 3 tiny breaks before (like skipping say 3 jumping jacks) and this time took only 1 for the cardio. I also wasn't huffing and puffing after JUST the warm up LOL. Still weaker on the push ups than I'd like, but I did better than yesterday on them. So YAY ME!
I've really noticed the very targeted muscle groups being sore. I can completely understand which exercise was the one that made it hurt LOL. I will push myself a bit harder tomorrow night and really try to get through the cardio with no breaks. Might take a couple more days to get there though. I will probably start next week with 5 lb weights instead of the 3 lb ones. I should probably go and buy 4 lb ones but oh well.
I'm really proud of myself for doing this. I am not thin and not fit. I really need to lose about 60 more pounds, though with my PCOS and Hashimotos it's very unlikely I could actually get there (my goals are basically to get out of the obese range of BMI). I did take before pictures, but don't think I'll be sharing them.
How is everyone else doing?

Oh also...I plan to do this every day for 30 days. I am going on a trip next week to visit my sister and Jillian is coming with me! Now if I can just keep my eating under control while I'm there LOL.
I took my measurements before I started and after just 3 days...I swear I've lost almost an inch and half off my midsection (a few inches above my natural waist - the biggest part of my torso). I can't imagine how that's possible, but that's what the tape measure says! I suppose I could have measured wrong on my 'before'. Odd thing is, my waist and hips are half an inch bigger than my before measurements LOL.0 -
I find measuring to be somewhat corrupted. Unless you measure in the exact same place while your were standing the exact some way as before then your measurements are a little off. That's why I don't measure very often, but since I'm doing this 30DS then I'll measure at each level to see how much damage or progress I've made.0

I also did day 3 last night and if it wasn't for my hubby, I would not have done it. It was hard but I finished and I was so happy.0

Well done everyone!! I'm just about to do day 4 and I'm the same, I can feel my endurance getting better - I don't feel like dying after the cardio any more! Well, ok, I feel less like dying! lol0
-
I always look forward to doing the workouts :-)0

None LOL. Just doing this is enough for me. It's replacing my treadmill workout that burns the same number of calories. And that one was working well for me, so I think this is more than enough :-)
And now you know why I only lose one pound a week LOL.0 -
Day 3 done! (skipped Tuesday due to strength training at the gym ... probably going to continue 30DS daily now even if I do strength elsewhere)
I'm also doing strength training and cardio at the Y 3-5 times a week (using their new MobileFit program so I can learn all the weight machines). I also try and do a 45 minute pilates class on Monday, 1 hour spin class Wed & Fri, and Tues/Thurs is 30-60 minutes on an elliptical, ARC, AMT, or jog/walk around the track or outside. Trying to get back into my routine of an outside run/walk on the weekend.0 -
Day4 completed! I am feeling better each time - jump rope still hurts the calves a little but getting better. Not loosing my breathe as easily anymore either! That`s a plus in itself.
On the side, I do exercise from a variety of PS3 / DVDs I have, also some classes that I have found posted on the internet. I also do belly dancing, and Zumba - when I can. : )0
