    Not sick anymore! finally :grumble: I feel SOOO far behind everyone!

    So I did Day 2 - Level 1 yesterday and hope to shred 3 x a week moving forward.

    I did a mixture of 5lb weights and 8lb weights.....still hate the side lunge shoulder raise...that was a 5lb exercise the whole time and i couldn't do all the reps....at least I have a goal :tongue: And still doing the "girly" pushups....not sure if I'll ever be able to do a real one!!!!

    Hope everyone is doing well....love reading everyone's posts...gets me excited to do the workout...:flowerforyou:

    Have a great day and Happy Shredding!

    I feel behind as well. 3x a week is great for this workout - it is not easy! I dread doing it somedays but know that it will benefit me big!

    I don't know how you hit 8 lbs. yet - that's great. I will get there also. I can only do girly pushups also and have never been able to do a real pushup. Well, maybe one - hah!

    I have to agree with you that everyone else gets me excited hearing their comments also. It's such a great motivator.

    Happy Shredding and don't forget we may be a bit behind but, we will get there!!!

    I just wanted to say that I think it's pretty funny that a bunch of us have the same Halloween theme Shred ticker. :laugh:

    I made a ticker, but I havent done the shred in over a week! :embarassed:
    I went back to when I was doing the shred consistently before the 1st and added those in though.

    Hopefully Ill be feeling up to it soon

    Good morning!

    Thanks for the advice on the costochondritis. Yesterday, I took ibuprofen to prevent any inflammation and didn't have any pain all day. Tonight, I have volunteer work, so we'll see how it goes just walking with the kids and horses. If all goes well, I might attempt a very light workout that includes the upper body. I will probably try to find a time to see the doctor, too, to make sure I won't cause any damage.

    Last night's Biggest Loser episode was heart-wrenching! I don't know how anyone could NOT be rooting for Abby. In my area, Biggest Loser is on our local NBC channel, so luckily I don't need cable to view it. What a phenomenal show. It was so hard not being able to exercise when I was watching the workouts! But, it did keep me from eating my Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich since I'd already used too many calories for the day.

    Happy exercising today!
    Heather

    Day 5, Level 1 - tomorrow I will start with a heavier weight and do that for 5 more days and then it's off to try L2. It's going to be tough, I've watched it but, if all you girls can do this and more, I can too! Take care and have a great night!

    Hey all

    I have yet to do a "Shred" this week, but have been working out side landscaping our yard and digging with a shovel. I hope it helps with my endurance, while doing those horrid side lunges/ arm raises.

    Still count me in... I'll just bring up the rear in this challenge:wink:

    CONGRATS TO ALL that are in the double digits numbered Shreds :flowerforyou:

    Day 6, L1 and moved up a little in the weights but, I don't know how you girls do 5 and 8 lbs. Uggh.
    I mean I used to do those Firm workouts with weights and those are longer than this 1/2 hour dvd. and it didn't seem to bother me as much as this one with less weights. And I was using 10 lbs. with the Firm workouts on some dvds. I guess it's just the change of workout. She is tough, I must say. I have no idea how I am going to work through to L2 but, for now, I am just glad that I am able to stay in this. I won't let myself down :bigsmile:

    Day 10 Level 1 and 2 shredded! Woohoo and I am doing awesome on staying under my max calories for the day this whole week. Lost 4lbs so far in 10 days not sure about measurements because I only measured out my waist and hips and those take forever to loose for me. But I feel much less jiggly and definetly my arms and legs are toned. YAY! love this workout :love: . Great job on Level 2, lwkido, it's rough but I bet it felt awesome when you finished. Good job everyone keep it up! :flowerforyou:
