My NSV (half marathon)
On Sunday I ran a half marathon, I had two goals: one, to run the whole way and two, to do it in under 2 hours. I achieved my first goal and ran the whole way, but finished in 2:08:00 - SO CLOSE!! Oh well, next year!! For me this was a huge deal, I used to run, I've never been particularly fast, but could plod along for…

Has anyone tried the 30 Day Shred rotating lvl1,2,3?
I've done the Shred before with great results, BUT by the time I'd done each workout ten days in a row I was going a wee bit crazy!! I want to do it again as we are heading into summer in a few months (Southern hemisphere girl here!!) but was thinking of doing it (for example) Level 1 = Monday, Level 2 = Tuesday, Level 3 =…

Ab routine to help with running.
Hi all, I'm in the midst of training for a half marathon (at the end of October). I have done them before but not since having kids. I have found that I'm really, REALLY weak in my abdominals - I blame having two ten pound plus babies!! Does anyone have a good strengthening routine for the abs that I could do daily to help…

No More Trouble Zones
I tried it for the first time today! I did it all, but I don't think I would have been able to if I hadn't just finished the 30 Day Shred!! I think it is going to HURT tomorrow!! Has anyone ever used it before? How often are you supposed to do it?

My baby's first birthday cake!
Hi all, I just finished making my baby's birthday cake (she turns 1 on Tuesday, but is having a party tomorrow - or rather today as it has just ticked over past midnight). My family is all asleep so I have no one to show it to. :sad: It is a chocolate mud cake filled and iced with dark chocolate ganache then covered with…

Pic of difference in my face (trying to motivate myself)!!

My very own NSV :)
Today I am wearing my 'skinny' pants AND a belt to keep them up!! I've never worn a belt with these pants before, in fact I thought the belt loops were just there for decoration. Not only that, but I am in the tightest hole in the belt!! :bigsmile:

Day 14 30 Day Shred ('scuse the undies).
Hi all - I've drummed up the courage to post some pictures of myself in my undies on the internet - gulp - anyway I've done the 30 Day Shred every day for the last two weeks (so 10 days level 1 and 4 days level 2).
