Great job, Shamrock and StrawberrySuz!!! I have missed 2 more day.:huh: I'm sad that I missed the days, but I can assure you it was for a good cause. I have spent the last 2 days at the zoo, enjoying the nice weather with my children.

Just for Today: I will forgive the less than great food and applaud the exercise I got walking the zoo with my children over the last couple of days.

Love to see all the people here!:love: I have done a ton of walking over the last couple of days. I took my children to the zoo yesterday and today and spent the whole day walking around.

That is fantastic. I tend to think the same way. Well done on the 1/2 pound! I love your name, by the way!

I am so sorry that this is late. I had in insanely busy weekend and it just occured to me that June started a week ago. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/623338-june-walking-challenge

Level 1, Day 8: finished, barely Holy Smokes! That was a tough one. I felt sick and woozy through the whole thing. After thinking about it, I have concluded that I haven't had any protein today. I guess tomorrow I will have to either make time to eat or plan better on the run.

Just for Today: I will take my vitamins (I feel a cold coming on)

I've never had to shred after working at a job, only chasing my 4 kiddos around, so I can't compare. I can tell you that I have done the shred 3 times before (separated by several months of inactivity in an effort to gaurantee no maintained physical fitness:blushing: not intentionally of course) and I can tell you that…

Start whever and whenever you can. My first time through, I would have quit before completing the warm up if I hadn't started with a group. We're all at different levels and on different days. We would love to have you along. and if you can't even do 1 push up today, maybe by the end of 10 days you will.

So hard to do and, yet, so important. I love your profile picture. That just about sums up what it takes to succeed.

Welcome, Dee! I love seeing new faces!

Just for Today: I will remember that good habits are easier to keep up with than they are to re-start.

Never walk away from Jillian, she's awefully hard to walk back to. After a weekend away, I finally got back to it this morning. Level 1, Day7? I lost a lot of my momentum skipping 4 days. I may have to go more than 10 days on this level. We shall see. StrawberrySuz, did you try Level 2 with better shoes? How was it?

Just for Today: I will laugh, they say that it's the best medicine.

Oh, My Dears. I don't want you to think that I have given up on this group. I have had a stomach bug going through my family (including me) and have been in no condition to face Jillian. I will be back on track tomorrow.:sick:

Just for Today: I will pick myself up, dust myself off, and throw myself back in the game.

Just for Today: I will not get discouraged looking at how far I have to go. I will look at how far I have come and feel joy!

Level 1, Day 6: finished

I think that most people log it as 20 minutes of circuit training. If you have a Heart Rate Monitor then you can get a better idea of how much you are burning. I think that the amount you lose is really dependant on how much you need to lose and how your diet is.

Great job getting in there and getting it done. I'm trying to talk myself into it right now.

Just for Today: I will remember that there is a reason that people say to stay off the scale. Getting on this morning was a definate mistake.:explode:

Level 1, Day 5: DONE!!!! I didn't want to do it, but I did. It helped that my 9 year old son was sitting in the room saying, "Come on, Mom. One more punch will give her a black eye!":tongue:

Leg/arm combos are terrible for me, too. I was able to do most of the lunges and curls today, but the anterior shoulder raises are things that nightmares are made out of:blushing:

Just for Today: I will not trade what I want most for what I want now.

Level 1, Day 4: finished.:sick:

You're supposed to tell us that by the time we get to level 3 we'll be so strong that it will be no problem. Pleasant lies are much better than horrible truths. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I hope you're feeling better!:flowerforyou:

Just for Today: I will make the time (Is that even possible, to make time?).

Very good advice. However, I have to admit that I find the original posters suggestions just a tad more helpful.:blushing: I'm afraid that, for me, naked fat rolls play a far greater motivating roll than "It's Bad".

This is absolutely my hardest struggle.
