  • I completed W5:D2 this morning and I have to say that I was a bit nervous about the 8 minute run but when it came down to it. I selected good music, got in a groove and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I'm not saying that it was easy by any means ... I really had to push through my last running interval.…
  • Completed W4:D1 yesterday and wow, that was a tough one! I managed to push through all the running intervals without stopping or slowing BUT only because I reduced my walking speed in between the last 3 runs for a little bit more of a recovery period. This seemed to help so I hope by walking slower I'll be able to stick to…
  • Strength training or yoga -- or extra long walks with my dog :)
  • So, I completed Week 3 this morning -- and I have to say that I thought that the 3 minute runs were going to be harder than they really were. I really had to concentrate on my breathing and think about other things -- but I pushed through and I'm interested to see how I fair next week with the increase in running times.…
  • Completed W3:D2 this morning. I was a bit apprehensive about the longer runs this week, as D1 was a bit of a shocker after W2. That being said I concentrated on my breathing and it was much easier to run and I wasn't tempted to jump off the treadmill or slow down my pace. I'm finding that I actually enjoy pushing myself a…
  • I just did W3:D1 this morning and was I surprised by how much longer the run feels (even if it's only an additional minute). I had two intervals that jumped up from 1.5 minutes to 2.5 minutes. I have to say that it was tough but I pushed through and I didn't stop or slow down -- and I'm actually pretty proud of that! Week…
  • W2:D3 went well for me this morning. I was up & motivated pretty early for a Saturday. The runs went pretty well & I've increased my speed on the last 30 seconds of the last 2 running intervals to really get my heart pumping. It feels good to push really hard for that last 30 seconds! Bring it, week 3!
  • I actually really love this workout, and I had never done yoga before. I've heard it's different because she adds motion to the poses to get your heart rate up -- rather than just holding a pose. The first level takes about 30 minutes & that includes warm up and cool down. I think the advanced version might be shorter ...…
  • I did W2:D2 this morning ... ouch! I'm sore from squats & lunges yesterday combined with running at 5 AM when I'm not quite awake ... I thought I was going to fall off the back of the treadmill because I couldn't get my legs moving fast enough. It definitely got better as I started loosening up, but wow this was one of the…
  • I'm 30 ... (ok - just turned 31) and working on losing 50 lbs. Feel free to add me :)
  • Tomorrow is my W2, D2 run -- and I can't believe that I'm going to say this but ... I'm actually looking forward it! Something about runner's endorphins or whatever. But, holy crap ... I think I just might become a runner yet :) I may re-think this post when I'm running for more than 1.5 minutes at a time, but the point is…
  • That's awesome! I just did Week 2, Day 1 this morning -- and I can't even imagine running for 20 minutes straight yet!
  • I totally agree with this -- I told myself that if there was a day that I couldn't do all the running that I would repeat it until I could. I haven't had to do that yet ... but I'm just starting week 2 and frankly my running times haven't gone over a minute yet. I might be doing some repeats as that increases :) Guess…

  • Today was my first day as well! I made it to week 3 back in November before I got really sick. Now I'm back at it -- it was a little tougher than the last time I started ... must be those few extra holiday lbs that snuck on :( Good luck to everyone!
  • Love this idea! I just started :)

  • Way to stick with it!!!
  • I'm on 30DS - L2 until Saturday.
  • I know exactly what you mean -- it's too easy to let your priorities change especially when the boyfriend isn't as active, OR in my case has a very active job (where I don't). So he's not as excited to go do things after work like me, after sitting at a desk all day. Previously, (prior to MFP) I would choose to spend time…
  • Woo hoo! Just had to share that last night my 2 new workout DVDs arrived from Amazon. I now have JM Ripped in 30, and Tae Bo Ripped Extreme. Is it weird that I'm totally excited to try both of these?!?!

  • Everyday can be a challenge ... but choosing to workout is just as empowering as losing the weight. I sometimes have an internal struggle with working out -- but I love the way that I feel once I'm done, and I'm proud of myself everyday that I get to cross a day off my 30DS Challenge calendar. Speaking of ... here's to…
  • Sounds good! Guess I better gear up for this level! Woo hoo for Level 2!!
