Ok, I quit. Ready to move on to my interval training and running. SO sick of this video. I'm not a big fan of Jillian Michaels anymore - except for her protein powder. I dropped a couple pounds from dieting and did notice a difference in my tone. Not sure if you can see much of a difference in the pictures or not, but here…

So I ran today at lunch and I'm paying for it. I only did half of my run and went straight over to Walmart to get some insoles, which I think will not be effective. I was only able to run 1.5 min/walk 45 sec, and run 3 min before my shin splints were so bad I decided to quit. I hate the thought of not running and losing…

A hot bath seemed to take all of the pain away. What a nuisance!

Well I got my shoes at R.E.I. and the man assisting me knew a lot about shoes... He helped me pick out these shoes and I've ran in them before. I'm a normal pronator with a normal arch. I only use my shoes for running and haven't gone even 100 miles. I do notice that I have thin feet and that there's some "room" in the…

ADD THIS GUY! HE'S AWESOME!

I'M SUPER BORED OF THIS DVD!! I've been half assing week 3 because I'm so BORED. I've been running and doing the dvd a little. Bleh. 1. I don't care for Jillian Michaels' persona to begin with. 2. I hate listening/doing the same stuff over and over again. Oh, but I see progress!!! Behold: Hello muscles, WELCOME TO THE…

Been a while since I made it... I'd say it serves 4-5? When I made it me and my roommate would be so full and there'd still be leftovers for later! It's so good - I need to make it again soon!

Well maybe the fact that these are pretty damn spicy, that might slow you down, lol! I made these as christmas gifts and they were pretty good. Unfortunately I used wax paper instead of parchment. That was awesome... DON'T USE WAX PAPER.

Thanks! Feels good to finally be able to see a difference. I didn't notice a change until I took a picture - I guess you get used to looking at yourself in the mirror!

7 mins my *kitten*! My legs are looking nice though! I can see a lot more definition and when I kneel down, I don't have cottage cheese hanging off the side like I did not long ago! Tonight I gave it some crappy effort - talk about legs! My legs are sore from running so it was hard for me. I didn't give it 100% or even 90%…

Wellll... I took 3 days off. Been running on my lunch breaks. In the evening after work I just want to eat and relax. So I'm about to turn on Week 3. Wish me luck. I'm ready for a change - I get tired of the same video. I hope it only feels like 7 mins! Cardio kills me. I'm so out of shape w/my cardio! Did I mention I'm…

I get bored of the same old ****. So I'm finding myself wanting to run @ lunch time and do weights after work rather than the RI30. My legs are very sore this evening, from both RI30 vids and running. I've decided to take the evening off. I think I will do 1 more Level 2 then move on to Level 3 on Friday.

Oh my GOD my outter thighs are burning. I was able to do TWO regular pushups today. Crow pushups... I did some but struggled to keep up. Cardio still kills me... I'm going to be running @ lunch to make up for my poor cardio effort. Today was a difficult day for me. I was so tired and didn't want to do it! But I did it!…

Stick with it! You're already on level 3, you're further than most of us. Just do it to get it over with then switch up your routine! I am probably going to mute her and put on some music, lol. I hate listening to the same audio OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I agree about the walking up your leg ab workout. You do what, 4 reps? I don't really feel a burn there. Today my goal is to not crap out on the cardio. I try the advanced cardio and burn out so bad that I quit all together rather than do the modified. Today I'm going to suffer. I am loving the results so far. I can see…

My shoulders are so tight! Still struggling w/the cardio and crow pushups! I just finished week 2 day 3 and I am the sweatiest I've been. The only part I really took a break from was cardio and the serving lunges. I hate those!

Week 2 day 2 and my shoulders are KILLING ME. I can do the modified crow push up - but not today. My shoulders are spent! And my cardio needs MAJOR work. I keep stopping and sitting the rest out.When I was doing the sumo squats I let out a big "*kitten* ME THIS IS TOUGH!" Lol! That's what I think about that! How is week 2…

Much better!

No difference yet, as it has only been about 4 days. But I think it's increased my energy, but the sun beats it right out of me. It's easy to follow, as skipping breakfast is easy for me. I just drink coffee w/splenda all am :)

I haven't been eating before noon or after 8pm the past couple of days and feel just fine. Not starving, very satisfied. I do know I'mr eally dehydrated, as I haven't had but maybe a glass of water each day - tomorrow I hydrate! I went to the fair, ate some bad food, and got so much sun that i passed out cold @ 5:30. No…

I was praying for an out of body experience!

My goal is to get a little bulky like zuzana - not as much, as I don't think that is possible for me, but somewhat built. But I still have belly and leg fat that will hide any muscle I have. I suppose I should just keep doing what I'm doing, maybe eating more and working out more. One day I will be able to do one of her…

I think I'll try that. I drink it w/a glass of milk and I don't feel sick, but today.... dayum. I don't even want to be around me. Hopefully it's the milk and not the protein powder. I'm so sad because I love a nice cold glass of milk. Sometimes it messes me up, sometimes it doesn't so much. I'm just not ready to break off…

Never gets old.

Hmmm... for me, I log my exercise before I do it. That means I HAVE to do it. Or I post a status update about me exercising. So I am committed. When I quit smoking (for the last time - now smoke free for over 1.5 years) I made it a point to tell people it had been x number of days/weeks since I quit. I'm the type of person…

Then again... I just thought about it... I do have some milk issues - possible lactose intolerance. I always feel like doodoo after I drink milk. The more fattening, the worse I feel. Mocha breve messed me up for 2 days! So anyway... I took soy protein off/on for a brief stint, now I just started taking whey protein (today…

I should be quarantined. Most people laugh when someone farts, but this is no laughing matter. I hope my body gets used to the protein! Because I can't get used to THIS!

No kidding! I'm really frustrated. I stopped the video @ the sumo squats bc the weights kept hitting me in the back of the head.

I need to invest in some smaller weights. For 5 lbs this is ridiculous! Really hard to do the moves with awkward, bulky weights!
