I am in Northern Minnesota where the temp is 22 below zero. Yes, feel free to envy me. :laugh: I find when I get the munchies I head to my sugar free apple cider. It warms me up and makes my tummy feel better. Like everyone has already posted, keep good snacks handy for those times when you really want to munch. Keep the…

L2D1 done. OMG I thought I was going to drown in my sweat! :laugh: What a workout. I know if this had been the beginning of the levels, I would never have gone to day 2. Actually feel a little stronger.

I was happy later in the week when I didn't sound like an 80 year old when I was getting out of a chair. :laugh: I am proof that it does get better. I am a complete exercise slug and I just finished day 10. Never thought I would make it after day 1.

I really should measure because the scale depressed me.

What is VLC and where do I find it??? I can't stand having to listen to her for 10 minutes before I can actually get to working out. :grumble:

L1D9 completed. The only reason I am looking forward to L2 is to get away from listening to Jillian and her stupid sayings. If I have to hear, "Don't phone it in", I am going to punch her. What the heck does that even mean? Hopefully she has a different irritating phrase in the next level. :laugh:

I will do my L1D9 when I get home from work. I still have a horrible pain in my lower tummy when I am doing the bicycle crunches. Not sure what that is all about, but I will get through that. I am very unsure about moving on to L2.

Think positive. It could have been a 1 pound gain. Or a 3 pound gain like I had. :explode:

Wonder if I should have just done measurements instead of the darn scale. I weighed in this morning with a 3 pound gain! What the heck. I watch every calorie and am forced to look at Jillian every day. Makes me wonder why I walked past the bakery at the grocery store last night. LOL

I hate "don't phone it in". What the heck is that about. It bugs me every time she says it.

I gained 3 freaking pounds this week. :cry: Was 175 last Monday and jumped to 178 this week. :sad:

Awesome possum!!! WTG keep up the great work!!

Way to go Tink!!:smile:

I am going through the same thing this week. I lost 4 pounds on last Monday's weigh in. This morning I had gained 3 freaking pounds! I have exercised my butt off and counted every freaking calorie. I am also doing the 5 day pouch test to get back to using my weight loss tool in the correct manner. I just don't know why I…

Well I just finished L1D7 and I think I did something to my thigh and stomach. I first felt the thigh issue when kneeling for communion at church. I tried to do the squat with my left leg forward and I about feel over from the searing pain. I also noticed during the bicycle crunches that my lower tummy had the same type of…

I am a Leasing Agent for an apartment complex. Absolutely love it.

I am the one who would shock you with my lack of cooking knowledge. I can't even make rice. :laugh:

Those pesky gremlins. They keep changing the amount of exercise I am doing. Worked on the ski machine for 15 minutes and they changed it to 70. I wish. LOL

I stayed home with my son for 6 months. I found FB to be my savior and link to adults. LOL Now I am finding this place even more addicting.

L1D6 done. I really didn't want to do it this morning, but I hauled my lazy butt out of the chair and made it through. I am getting a bit better at the moves. Though the extra jiggle I have when doing jumping jacks, really bugs me. I stop jumping and the rolls stop a second or two later. :laugh:

Don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone slips up. No big deal. Nothing to feel guilty about and lose sleep over. Acknowledge that you slipped and move on. You CAN do it!!! :flowerforyou:

Awesome job!!! I can't wait until I can say that.

I am sorry, but why the heck are you missing Minnesota:laugh: We are buried under a ton of snow and it is a balmy 1 degree. I am up north of Duluth in Hibbing.

Nice to meet aother Heather. :smile: I have a 9 year old daughter from a previous marriage and a 13 month old son with my amazing new husband. I found myself being very lazy this past year while being home with the kids. My husband is in Iraq right now and my motivation/kick in the a** is the fact he may be home in 2…

Welcome redandthin. I love your goal gift to yourself. I will have to see if I can find the book you mentioned. It does sound interesting. I am also trying to lose the baby weight from my second. He is 13 months, so I have really been slacking. :laugh: I don't have any workout song suggestions for you. I am doing Jillian…

Good Morning Everyone!!! I hope we are all having a wonderful Friday and ready for a fantabulous weekend! I know I am. Keep up the amazing work. :flowerforyou:

Finished L1D5 this mornig. With a few interruptions which made me start the darn thing over, I survived another round. :laugh: I am really finding it hard to do the floor work because my dogs think it's time to plan or my 13 month old decides to use mommy as a mountain to climb. But if that is the worst of my problems, I…

L1D3 and I still don't like her any better than the first day. I found today to be a little easier than the first two days. I actually went down further on my push-ups than before. That was a good feeling. One of these days I will be able to do "regular" push-ups instead of on my knees. Soreness isn't too bad today. Thank…

You are definitely right. There is no fun way. I think that every morning when Jillian Michaels is on my tv annoying the crud out of me. :laugh:

I did it the easy, but not fun, way. LOL I had the stomach flu. :smile:
