Finally had time today!! Did level 2. Good job ladies for sticking with it even back to work. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be after taking almost a week off!!

I just can't keep up now that I'm back to work :( Once I get back into a routine, I may start up again. I'm 5 lbs away from goal so hoping that healthy eating will do the trick!! Definitely saw results even after only being able to shred for about 23 days!! Can't wait to hear about every ones results!!

I've missed a couple days :( Started back at work full time. I'm going to definitely make it a priority tonight. Saying this here for accountability!! Haha

Thanks ebrady! I meant to check that out when you mentioned it before but I'm definitely looking at it now. Looks awesome. Will definitely be adding a few of these into our mealtimes :)

Got it done! Still doing level 2 for a few more days. Plus I'm basically doing every other day with the shred at this point, with the alternating days doing something like going for a walk/playing in the backyard or something with the kiddos. GL with level 3 ladies!!

Here is the meatloaf. I made this tonight. Skipped the brown sugar in the topping and made 8 servings :) Old-Fashioned Meat Loaf- A.K.A 'Basic' Meat Loaf Total Time: 1 hr 10 min Prep: 10 min Cook: 1 hr Ingredients 1 pound ground beef 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup…

Just wanted to post my other recipes in the body of this post since I'm not sure the links worked properly. Here is the first one: Fudgy Flourless Brownies Prep Time: 15 Cook Time: 30 Yield: Yield: 9 brownies (serving size: 1 brownie) Ingredients 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup sugar 1 ounce…

Found a new favorite side dish!! From Ina Garten @ Food Network: Roasted Brussels Sprouts Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts 3 tablespoons good olive oil 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull…

Also wanted to say that I will be working out a few extra days from a few that I missed. So you are both in good company :) Hope everyone feels a little better tomorrow and is able to get some sleep!!

Done! Aw, Danielle I'm sorry. I will be thinking of you and LO. You have been doing so well, don't worry about missing a day (or 2!)

Got it done! Really didn't want to after a rough day with my 4 year old but I did it without giving myself a chance to talk myself out of it. Ha.

That sounds AMAZING!! I love froyo with pretty much anything :)

I just bought a few peppers!! Will have to try this sometime this week...

Good job! Just got it done too. Still very challenging but I feel myself getting stronger for sure. When we started level 2, for the jump rope part, I was still only doing the small jump. Now I do the big jump almost the whole time. Feeling good!!

Found another great recipe and tried it today! I had 2 extra ripe bananas so needed something to take care of those. The recipe says it will yield 9 servings but I measured out in 1/3 cup servings like it said and I only got 6. I replaced canola oil with coconut oil, fat free milk with soy milk, and quick cooking oats with…

Got 10 minutes done, Haha! Had a heck of a day. Power was out from 9am til 2pm and it was know thirties today so we left the house all day. Was going to skip it but decided to do 10 minutes of moves on my own. Back at it 109% tomorrow!!

I will have to try that Dani! Here is my favorite meatloaf recipe. I've used it for a couple of years now. It is so moist & yummy. As long as you use lean beef, it is pretty healthy. You could probably even use ground turkey!…

Done! How are you feeling Dani? Any better?

Done! Whew, that was my first night on level 2 and it was definitely a challenge. Thanks Julie for the amazon tip, that's what I did. $2 well spent lol. I loved how Danielle was cheating and laughing at herself behind Jillians back haha. Those squat thrust things in the beginning were no joke, definitely looked at Anita…

So, I couldn't find a working version of Level 2 on YouTube. Can someone post a link? Either told me it wasn't available in my country or that I had to sign up for a 30 day trial... I just did level 1 again and went faster/stronger on everything :) Thanks!!

Got it done! Crazy what a difference 10 days makes. I can pretty much power through it now whereas day 1 I was struggling. Whew. Looking forward to seeing what phase 2 is all about! Also spent some time at the park with kids today as it was 75 & perfect here in MO! So I logged a little baby wearing cardio for that too :)…

I'm with ya. I've decided to wait on two things til DH is home: shower & workout. I consider these my "me" time activities and its not worth doing if I can't do it 100%. Plus (especially with working out) I'll get frustrated and just say To hell with it and not start back up. Its hard though. But the best you can do is the…

Done! Missed yesterday (opted for a nap after a particularly rough night) so wanted to get it in first thing this AM. Happy Sunday everyone!

You go girl. I was able to do it today already also. LO & DS cooperated! DS even did it with me a little (he's 4).

Got to minute 21 before LO wouldn't sit in the swing any longer. Tough but feeling good!!

Yes I try and do 20-30 min exercise at least every other day. Supply has been great. I eat oatmeal with flax seed every day too.

okay, did a 20 minute workout similar to 30 day shred on Hulu. My computer was blocked by my sons train tracks :-) the workout probably wasn't quite as intense but I was super tired so I'm glad I was able to do anything at all! Slept better last night so should be able to shred today.

You go girl! Not enough sleep for me last night but I'm going to see what I can do tonight after DH gets home...

I'm at 1540 and I log 400 calorie cardiovascular exercise for BF. I think it is a good number for me. I eat 4 small(ish) meals per day.

I did it yesterday! Only for the second time. I think the second WS harder than the first. My upper body is way ore sire than lower.
