30 Day Shred Group Sept 1st!!! Here we go!!!

day 3 on level 2 done! (day 22 overall!)

still haven't seen much movement on the scale, but i feel better and i think my measurements have probably gone down, but I am waiting to remeasure until day 30 overall.

Georg - i do the shred pretty much every day, but once i start a new level it is definitely necessary for break days because your body is adapting to the new and intense routine. good luck!

sky - i think i do agree that it goes faster, but holy ****, especially that last circuit with all the shoulder stuff is a KILLER!!! when i get to the last abs i can hardly keep myself in plank! tricks that others use to keep it going during those plank jacks for cardio and then the abs???

Day 20, did level 2 today shredded to level 3 yesterday and took a rest day on saturday. Sounds like everyone is feeling yucky like me, my muscles are aching, stomach killing me, and head ponding! :sick: I am barely eating which makes it hard to workout and oh my I was so out of breath during the workout. Wish I would just get better I really want to start running also with my shredding hopefully this week if this yuckyness goes away!

Day 12, L2 (Day 3 of level 2) and I am finally back on track.

Skywalker- Yes, I was in the same boat - thank god I am out now and back on track. I haven't been so out of energy in a long time... and drank tons of water. Glad to hear you are doing better as well! I am promising not to quit at this. I didn't care how many days it took me to get better. I had to rest those two days. It was just impossible to do anything.
Hopefully, we all stay well and keep on shredding! Almost 1/2 way through... I am going to just keep at it! :bigsmile:

Day 15 done. :drinker:

Since the begining of the Shred, I've losed :

-11 lbs
-15 inch. in all (on : breast, waist, stomach, hips, tigh and arm).

Thank you! :happy:
But it's just the begining, so the easier to lose, I think (hope not! :bigsmile: ).

And what's for you, on 15 days Shred?? :flowerforyou:

Day 13, L2 -
Daughter was right with me tonight doing the high knees (so funny). She is only 16 months so it's funny to see her working out with me. Usually, I like to be alone with no distractions when I am working out but, I worked out earlier than I normally do so, she was still awake and my husband was cracking up laughing. Probably will help down the road though as she grows to know that this is something everyone should be taught. How to be healthy! Anyway, looking forward to BL tonight. Have to do some laundry now, uggh... :sad:

did level 2 day 4 today (day 23 overall), tomorrow i am taking a rest day from the shred and just doing some cardio at the gym because my muscles are sore and i think they need a day to recover from this level 2 madness (esp the shoulders, good lord!!!)

level 2 is still killing me... i can't hold myself in plank anymore by the end.. i feel like all the exercises target the shoulders somehow!!! soooo intense.

hey you level 3ers - what is targeted in that workout? and how does it compare to level 2?

:laugh: April_Mesk : I know what it is! And Skywalker, it's to funny too! :laugh: you can't rest with this position, otherwise... poor cat! :bigsmile:

Day 16 done, here! :drinker:
But I'm affraid, I can't do it next days : my children are sick and I too since tonight. :frown: wait and see!

Ok so I moved to level 2 yesterday and it kicked my butt. I felt more tired during level 2 then I did in level 1. I really liked it even though I was ready for it to be over by the end. Jow long have each of you been on each level. I was on level 1 for 7 days...spread out within 3 weeks.

Good evening, everyone!

Everyday: Don't feel bad about only have 5 Shreds in...I'm right there with you. I've been getting in a lot of walking, but not much else.

Bribaby: Thanks for the well wishes. I'm excited about our family challenge.

Last night was Shred #6 and it felt harder than the last few times. I think I was getting lazy from having such a hectic week at work. No volunteering tonight, so it will either be Shred or the treadmill, depending on how much energy I have.

Did anyone else watch Biggest Loser? I can't believe what Tracy did...even Jillian says it was some of the nastiest game playing she's ever seen on the show! Bummer for the red team, but they looked great and I can't wait to see how they do when the finale rolls around.

Happy exercising,
Heather

I didn't shred last night - but I am planning on doing it tonight. I weighed in last night and gained a 1 lb.! Whatever, I am not going to worry. I have been doing well and will get to my pre-pregnancy and beyond with my weight loss I just know it.

To all those feeling like they are slacking, you really aren't. Everyone is at their own fitness level and it is best to go at your own pace whatever that is. Rome was not built in a day...

BL was good the other night but I was shocked by Tracy - I so hope she gets booted next week. I feel bad for Mo, though... uggh.

Skywalker - you are doing awesome with those measurements! The way I am trying to think of things is if there is a loss in measurement or even in lbs. whatever way it has to be good, right? I know I gained a lb. but, I have lost inches so I am not overly concerned. My clothes are fitting so much better and everyone is telling me how great I look....

Keep up the great work everyone! Happy October...it's freezing!

Good afternoon,

April_mesk: Where are you from? It's cold (42 degrees) and raining here in Minnesota...brrr! It was a bit miserable feeding horses this morning. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I keep telling myself that I'm doing alright because I can see/feel changes, even if I haven't done much actual shredding.

At least if we exercise inside today, it will keep us warm!

Heather

I am from Gardner, Massachusetts. It was 40 something this morning. Just seem so cold and couldn't get warm. I know it will get colder, though. So not looking forward to minus degree temperatures and that 4 letter word I won't mention. There are other things I do besides shredding so, I know I am getting in enough. I love to vary up my routines. It keeps you stimulated and shocks your body to make a change. Good luck!

day 6 of level 2 (day 25 overall!)... i am really starting to be able to feel the results in my core - all the plank pose is killer but apparently it really pays off! it really is just my shoulders that i feel cant catch up to the intensity... maybe soon? i am still doing everything with anita, so i know i have a long ways to go on level 2 before i am going stuff with natalie.

However.... I lost 3 pounds in the past week and a half officially ending my plateau! I am down from 151 to 148 and couldn't be happier

im in boston, so i feel your *cold* pain - lows in the 40s here, highs barely at 60 SOOOO not looking forward to that four letter word and the sub-zeroness... it already feel cold!!!

i also agree that everyone is doing awesome! we all progress at our own rates, its not a competition at all. each of us has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to our personal fitness level, and we have to work from there. also, life is time consuming - don't beat yourself up for taking a day off to be with your family! when it comes down to it, that is super important too. The fact that we have all made a conscience decision to be healthier and more fit is great all by itself!

well i havent done the shred in forever and was planning on getting some in this week when I got done with a friend visiting and then going to WI...
...but I came home and now Im sick so f that.

I feel like by the time Ive gotten in 30 shreds that the times Ive gone without is just gonna leave me at being close to breaking even lol

it is freezing here in chicago indeed.

Wow, Ive fallen so far behind you people are on level 3 already?
I think as soon as I kick this cold and Im not exhausted allll the time Im gonna have to start my shredding again. I think I may jump right into level 2 and see how it works out.


Too bad my new meds warn you that you may pass out while exercising or get nauseous. Laaaame.
