One of my students just stopped me in the hall and said "Teacha, diet!" I'm at an all boys middle school in Korea, so compliments are few and far between. I was so shocked, so I told him, "Yes, thank you!"

It was so hard to find the motivation to do my workout tonight. I laid in my warm bed for an hour, dreading taking off my sweater and putting on a sports bra and t-shirt "for Jillian." I eventually had to call my boyfriend so someone would kick my butt into gear. That being said, once I was in the middle of the workout, I…

I'm at 30 miles out of 50. I'm aiming for one of the 4-mile walks tonight before I do my 30 Day Shred :-D

Just finished day 3 of level 2. Felt a little easier tonight. I think it's really important that I do the workout when my energy level is still up, like it was tonight. I'm so slow coming up from those walking push-ups/planks that I always end up a couple reps behind by the time the exercise is finished. Ah well, maybe by…

I feel like my arms are getting stronger, and it might be all in my mind since I haven't measured, but I hope they're getting a little less flabby underneath. My boyfriend commented yesterday that my inner thighs are looking better (that's the biggest change he sees) but he thinks my stomach is also getting a little…

Just started Level 2! Definitely harder. People weren't lying when they said there are a lot of planks. I had to modify a few of the moves, but at least I did everything :-D The toughest thing for me was the ab exercise where you're holding hand weights and you slowly raise and lower your legs. That slow lowering of the…

As of yesterday, I'm at 25 miles out of my goal of 50 this month. Right on target! I've been walking outside mostly, while I still can, and I live in a mountainous part of South Korea, so I think it's good for my glutes hehe. But it's really starting to get cold- fast. So I think I'll be doing mostly Leslie miles from here…

I'm taking an unexpected break from the challenge this weekend. Thursday night during yoga class, I started getting these really sharp pains in my my stomach and had to leave in the middle of class. Went to the hospital Friday morning, and the doctor said it was Infectious Colitis. It's now Saturday afternoon in Korea, and…

Just did day 6. I do think my upper arms and glutes are feeling stronger, more muscular! I've decided I'm not going to do any body measurements again until the end of 30 days. My body changes very slowly, so I don't want to be to discouraged if I take measurements and see no change at the end of level 1.

I'll join the challenge! My goal will be 50 miles this month (11/6-11/30.) I'm also doing a 30 Day Shred challenge :happy:

All right I'm going to try to post my before pictures :embarassed: Certainly less than I'd wear to the beach and so hard to not suck in when I look in the mirror!

Day 2 was a little tougher as far as keeping my energy up. I didn't get home from a work function until around 10:30 last night, so from now on I know don't save the workout for 11 pm haha. I really do feel like it's getting my heart rate up and making me sweat in a short time. Have a great weekend!

After 5 days that's an AMAZING difference!

Just did Level 1 Day 1. Not too bad, and I love that it's a short workout. I remembered there were push-ups in the video (which I hate!) but I was happy to see that it's the very first exercise. That means I get them out of the way and then they're finished. And no way am I going to wuss out on the first exercise. If…

Hey guys! I'm an American living in South Korea (so everything here is metric, including my scale.) I'll put both units of measurement :) Height: 163 cm/5'4" Weight: 71 kg/156 lbs. (cm / in) Neck: 33.5 / 13 Bust: 101 / 39.5 Chest: 87.5 / 34 Waist: 82.5 / 32.5 Hips: 104.5 / 41 Thighs: 62.5 / 24.5 Calves: 40.5 / 15.5 Upper…

I'm going to start this evening. First day of the month seems like the perfect, no-excuses time for 30 Day Shred!
