I'm currently off work and I squeeze workouts in during his naps or when he is happy on the playmat.

I know there are certain techniques to do to help it close. It is likely best to stop normal abs for now as those can make it worse. :(. I'm not sure the name of the technique but someone posted about it on bbc awhile back.

Nice! This is the one I am doing. I am on day 3 now. Planks are tough but soo good for you! Gotta flatten this tummy!

I agree about lactation cookies. So tasty but not good for us. I decided to try the mothers milk tincture if I have supply problems instead. As for food, I find that it gets easier after a few days of eating well. After a few days I don't have irresistible cravings. I am finally there. Put the lactation cookies in the…

Had to take DS to the doc so no go for me too.

Too nice outside today with snow in the forecast so I opted for a long walk instead.

Hope you feel better soon!

Got it done. So much more refreshed after a rest day.

Planning on a rest day today. I think 1 a week is important. This way I will be rested for the weekend and hopefully able to hit it harder when dh is home to watch LO. :)

Nice job Yellifish! I totally get not wanting to do it! Then once you get started, it is all good.

Not bad except I need to go to the grocery store to have more variety. I don't eat too much sugar (except at work and I'm on leave) so it likely won't be too bad.

My SIL came and watched LO when I worked out and showered. I feel spoiled. This workout and my LO have taught me that my long days at the gym are a thing of the past. Quick and intense from now on!

That and "they don't even cheat when I'm not looking." Correct because they are being filmed and are jacked!

How many calories are you shooting for in a day? I have to go by the 500 estimate bc LO loves to comfort nurse, and we would be at 900 calories a day by the 3 per minute estimate. Ha! I wish!

Done. :) Does anyone else hate it when Jillian calls Anita, "buddy?" It drives me nuts!

Starting today for lent. :). Makes sense about taking it one step at a time.

Cmann are you working out too? Has your supply been ok? Thanks!!

Cortycrazy - you have been rocking your workouts too! I'm impressed. How do you manage to fit it in?

Awesome!!! That is great progress!

Ecu Jules sounds like we had similar days! DS was up without a nap for over 6 hrs which is A LOT for him. I finally got him to nap and turned on the white noise full blast so I could get a workout in. Finished day 4. Feeling good except my knees are getting achy. May make some modifications for a day or two. This group…

Yeah it would. It takes energy to make milk.

Got it in. Barely. My LO hasn't been much for napping today unless I'm holding him. Pretty sure working out every day will be a struggle. My thought is if I cannot fit in shred, I will wear him and walk on the treadmill. Any other workout ideas you can do when wearing LO?

Figured it out! It was going off my pre pregnancy weight. Clearly that is not accurate!

Sounds good. I will shoot for every day or some workout. I will throw in some barre classes instead as well. Tomorrow will be my first day doing it without dh to watch LO so we will see how that goes. :/

I did it a little whole ago. Good luck ladies! So one question - do we do it for 30 days straight or take rest days?

Done with some modifications for the impact cardio and abs.

I did day 1 with some modifications today. I'm trying to stay away from some of the abs and the impact due to that "tips" post I posted. Plus my mom is having that prolapse surgery soon so I would like to avoid that. Apparently it is pretty common. Eek! For low impact I did marching with different arm movements and step…

Yes I know I'm losing inches because I'm less disgusting looking. :). I just got cleared to workout and will try the 30 day shred. Been up for 3 hrs with LO though so we will see about today. Hope to catch some zzzs here soon.

Is there just 1 video for each phase? So we will do the same thing for 10 days? Thanks!

Do I just search YouTube for 30 day shred? I haven't done this before. How long are the workouts?
