Thanks for the info!! I'm waiting for the disc to get here :D

Day Four moving into Day Five



I feel like I need to eat better. How am I going to show any progress if I counter-balance the Shred with poor food choices?


How are you all doing?

It's Saturday! Our first weekend of Decmeber! Today I went up to Level 2 and it hurts! I definately could not do the whole thing. But I will get better!

How are you all doing this weekend?

Today was very low key. Like I wrote in my update, not even low impact but low key.

On the first day of the second week of this challenge, Monday, December 08, I will PUSH to level 2 and work out harder.

Beth, you're inspiring!

Hi all! Mind if I join you? I am on my second round of 30DS. I started over on the Dec. 2nd.

Last time I went through it...I started as a total couch potato.:o I did a pitiful modified Anita version. My upper body is sooo week. I had to do my pushups on the wall the first time through.;) This time I am doing them on the floor and can even pump out 8 Natalie style pushups before I have to go to my knees! :carrot:

I'm going for a full Natalie version before the end of this challenge! :strong:

If you are struggling...Stick with it...modify the moves when you have to and push yourself as much as you can...just keep moving...It is so worth it.:cheer3: I cannot believe the changes in my body the first time through. I went from a size 16 to a size 12 jeans...:D

Also...I notice that it is harder for me about 3 days into each level. Not sure if it is because I am actually doing the moves better...or because my muscles are just tired at that point...but I keeep going and by the end of a week at each level...I find I can get through it better...Notice I didn't say easier...It never got easy...This is a real challenge for me every day. I guess that is what keeps me comming back to it.:dizzy:

Welcome!
 

Feel free to jump in with the jumping jacks! :)

Hey friends! We finished the first 7 days of December, and today starts Week 2! Let's keep it up!

Today is Day 9! Who's still with me?

I'm still at it! Had to skip yesterday due to an evening meeting, so I walked for 45 mins. at lunch time instead.

Today I was back with level 1. I can do the Natalie all the way through except for the pushups. I still can't get beyond 8 Natalie style pushups!

I'll be moving to level 2 tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. Level 2 is the hardest workout for me. Even harder than level 3. It takes alot of uper body strength.

I tend to track myself in a journal and on WW online and every Tuesday is a bad eating and exercise day. Every Monday, I promise myself that the following day, I will not slide. Then on Wednesday, I have to re-group.

*takes a deep breath and re-groups*

Toni

First day of level 2!:carrot: UGH! Seems like I'll never get through the Natalie version of this level! But I did get ill the way through without stopping!
:carrot::carrot::carrot:

How is everyone else doing?

Vanity- did you get re-grouped?

Yes. I have re-grouped and am back on track. I so need to watch my diet bc I feel like I eat more bc I am exercising which is such a self-destructive way of looking at all the exercise.

I got the disc! But I pulled something in my back delivering food to the food bank this morning... I was planning to start tomorrow morning but I'll see how my back feels... More Ibeprofin for me. Blah.

Good work for those that are plugging along with this! :carrot:

Ok, so I have done the 30DS 10 days in a row! Go me!
Unfortunately, today will break the streak. I don't have time today. I have to go straight from work to our office Christmas party and will be out late.
I thought about getting up really early this morning to do it so I wouldn't break my streak, but I HATE getting up early, and didn't want to be so exhausted that I couldn't have fun at the party tonight. Oh well.
How are you guys doing?
