Still Alive!

Hello All!

I’ve made it through day 4 of level 2, and I can still walk. Yay!

Does anyone else cringe a little when Jillian says “I want you to be gargling your heart” ??…GROSS!!

This workout is HARD- there are a lot of plank moves- good for the core, but brutal when you’re doing them!  I nearly died today during the plank-jacks.  I usually do pretty well with the cardio, but the 2nd circut cardio kills me. The jumping oblique twist and the skater lunges?!  Those will make you feel pretty unfit, pretty fast. I was sweating like nobody’s business by the end.

One more activity point and I’ll be on target for the week. Tuesdays are always a challenge because I have expecially long days- I always want to snack!  But, I generally bring WW-friendly snacks with me so that I’m not tempted to buy junky food. I figure it’s better to eat 3 apples instead of a croissant!

I’m making a modified recipe from the WW 20 minute cookbook: Spicy Mandarin Beef Stirfry. I was seduced by the picture- it looks SO delicious.  I’m changing it up a little bit- I’m using soy beef strips instead of regular beef (my BF doesn’t eat beef, so I have to get creative sometimes!)  I’m going to make some quinoa to go with it. Mmmm…dinner…I can’t wait!

    Well I did day 1 of the 30DS and I was SWEATING so much. Good grief, lol. And I think I may not read anymore about your level 2 workouts or I might never get there(jk). But as Jillian also says, “Pain is fear leaving the body.” We’ll do it!!!

    Sorry, I forgot to tell you I found the quick links. I made a ticker, but for some reason it just shows as the link when I copy and paste it. I copied the link they said for the blog so who knows. I’m about to look at it again. Thanks for your help though.

    Oh, I can TOTALLY relate- I had sweat running into my eyes today! So gross! haha I love that “pain is fear leaving the body” bit too…Jillian is crazy, but she has some great wisdom to impart :)

    Ok, my 37th comment on your page, lol. Yes, she does and thanks for the comments! I read some info on the forum and you can’t post tickers or anything until you’ve been a member for 20 days. So, that explains my issues.

    Ohhhhh, yes, that is true! Sorry for the confusion, I hadn’t even thought of that!
