My journal

Tatyanne · March 2012

Hi everyone.
I decided to create a journal here, that way I believe I'll be more aware and hope this motivates me to wake up every week day at 6am to exercise before coming to work.

I received all Jillian DVD's this weekend, and I'm starting with 30Day Shred.

I read lot of comments from you guys, and I'm registering my measurements as it seems you noticed the most there. I'm from Portugal, so I'll register in Kg and cm.

Height: 163 cm (5'4)

Weight: 65.6 Kg (144.6 lbs)
Goal: 58.5 Kg (129 lbs)

Neck: 32 cm
Chest: 95 cm
Arm: 29 cm
Waist (navel): 76 cm
Waist (larger part): 89 cm
Hips: 106 cm
Thigh: 61 cm
Leg (below knee): 37 cm

I registerd all these 'cause I started running last year, and i noticed that I have wider thigh and my leg muscles are bigger.
My arms are the weakest part and are where I have greater difficulties in gaining muscle.

Hope this journal helps me.

30 Day Shred :happy:
D01L01 will be tomorrow (Spring time begins here, and I decided to start with a new season)

Thanks for beeing here :flowerforyou:

Kisses,
Tatyanne

D01L01 happened :happy:

Some exercises were more demanding that I expected, especialy the arm ones, but I think that was my falt also.
I have weak arms, and the weights I have in home are 1,5Kg (~3.3 lbs).
After the pushups exercise they were already sored, but i didn't stoped, but I guess I'll have to buy some 0.5 Kg (1.1 lbs) and 1Kg (2.2 lbs) weights so I be able to go through L02 and L03.

The leg exercise and the abds were not difficult, some of them were even easy.
I did some exercises in the beginner option, but after D05 I'll try to do it in the advanced one, but pushups I think I'll do the beginner option until the end of L01.

Let's see how sored I'll be tomorrow and how D02 will be.

Hi all,

Today i woke up and I was really sored in only one place...pectorals...until the armpit...
Never thought i would be this sored... :ohwell:

D02L01 will happen when arriving home, 'cause last night it was company dinner and this morning was hardddd to wake up

I'll try to stop to but lighter weights before...otherwise I may be even more sored tomorrow.

Report again tomorrow.

Kisses,
Tatyanne

I'm so sad...
Yesterday wasn't a good day.
Arrived home at 23:00 'cause of work and was so tired I just couldn't gather streghts to do 30 Day Shred and today is strike day in Portugal, so I had to wake up earlier to come to work...no Jillian this morning :indifferent:

The work has been to much lately (from 9h to 22h in average) and I take 20min from work to car and then 30min driving home...
I'm so sad, but I realy need to rest my brain so i can take the 12h day's. I'm choosing to give it some rest...but the body need's no rest

Hope this stops... I'll really try to do Jillian's Shred today, 'cause I'm expecting to leave a little bit sooner.... :yawn:

I was so inspired the other day and now i feel no motivation at all...

Tatyanne · March 2012

Hi all,

Yesterday I didn't log, but i did D02L01 and it wasn't as difficult as I imagine

After that, i went for 1h aerobics/step class, and it was worth it
I mesure myself, and although i gain 1lbs, I already lost inches in my tights and legs!!!!
I read lot's of comments, almost everybody gained weight at the beginning, so I'm not worried.
My goal is to fit in the black pants i bought in the end of 2008

Today I did D03L01.
Less harder than the day before and all the legs exercise are made in the advanced option. Arm exercise are done in the beginners, but I0m already capable of doing all the push ups

Kisses,
Tatyanne

Hi all,

Today as D01L02, and I did it!! :bigsmile:

I sweat much more than the previous level, and i think this level is much more intense for wrists and shoulders, since it has lots of exercises on plank.

Like it, though.

Kisses,
Tatyanne

Tatyanne · April 2012

Hi all,

Yesterday I didn't the Shred...woke up with some soreness in my neck and decided no to take the risk.

Today was D06L02.
I noticed that I'm definitly stronger. Today I did all the Level without taking 1 min for the plank jumping jacks or plank knees to chest. I was also able to do that last abs exercise complete, no stops. From know on have to make more like Natalie.

Until know, since the begining of 30DS, already lost 16cm (6.3 in) and 0.3 Kg (0.66 lbs).
Not bad for me, as I have lots os difficulty losing weight.
I notice, however, that my body is stronger and fitter, specially in my legs and butt :bigsmile:

I'll update tomorrow.

Kisses to all,
Tatyanne
