Robb Wolf talks A LOT about post-workout nutrition on the podcast. He mostly recommends yams and sweet potatoes after a workout. Take a listen to the podcast. It's excellent and has tons of great information that nicely supplements Robb's book. I am day 15 of a not-so-fun 21 day paleo sugar detox (thanks Diana…

Wow! That's great!

Congrats!

Sounds delicious. Maybe tomorrow!

Friend phatsoslim (you can tell her I sent you!). She is doing the program right now, and is blogging it as she goes. She has done lots of Jillian.

Amazing, inspiring results. Well done!

That's so great! 10 days!!?? You're killing it!

Amazing!

Fabulous! Great accomplishment!

How's it going? I must admit I haven't been doing Jillian as much as I'd hoped. I think my excuse is valid - it's because I'm spending more time at the gym, and less at home with DVDs. I am training for a stair climb, so I try to spend extra time on the step mill. I really should've done the the yoga meltdown on Saturday,…

Great results!

Yep. Level 2 is far worse than Level 3!

I'll raise my hand and own up to being a mindless eater. That's an interesting take on it!

I did Level 1 last night. This is my first Jillian of January (I had eyed Jan. 8 as a start date). I completed a full 30 days of the Shred in July. I forgot how tough it is. I also did a strength and endurance class in the afternoon, so by the time I finished the Shred last night, I was tired, and this morning I had some…

If you live in an area with Meijer, they have 30DS on sale for $7.99 this week.

I so totally get that! My husband has terrible eating habits, but the metabolism of a hummingbird!

Don't fear Level 2. Actually, I take that back. When I did it last July, I recall preferring Level 3 to Level 2! :) You'll kill it either way, though!

Well done! You'll be ready for Level 2 before you know it!

Wonderful transformation! Congratulations on your success.

That's super! You look great!

Very nicely done!

My almost 5-year-old enjoys doing Jillian's DVDs with me (Shred, Ripped). I even got her a tiny little dumbbell. Now, I don't think her form is Jillian approved, but she enjoys trying, and gets a lot of jumping and movement in, too.

That's wonderful! Congrats!

I love the food challenge. I have tried so many fruits and veggies. This will be a true challenge! I should be able to mark off the diamond push-ups and the plank drops after my lunchtime workout. I've never done traveling pushups, but that'll be a fun challenge for tonight!

Good morning, and good week, challengers! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. The weekend was not wonderful for me. I'm doing fine with exercise and water. But Halloween candy bested me. Today is a new day. Halloween was a week ago, so no more excuses, and no more over-indulging! I've hit my 200 minutes for the…

Good morning! My goal for the month is to lose the 10 pounds, of course, but also to commit to a workout plan that I have established for myself. My plan is in a google doc, which is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiIUQIdOzPULdGtSODRkWURUZ25mdzJUajdTeW5TZFE&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0 I think I've made it…

I'd also like to join if there's room!

I know I haven't been posting. I really don't have a chance/desire to use the computer too much at night. I wish you could post to boards from your phone! So, I know I'm probably out of the challenge at this point, but just wanted to say it was fun and keep at it! I am staying committed to the tenets of the week's…

I keep a 32 oz. refillable bottle with me at all times. I rarely have trouble hitting my 8, so I think just having it there and available is a big part of it! I might be doing plie squats rather than lunges due to knee issues. I'll get something done, though!
