Ty angelsmom. Im trying had a horrible night tonight. I had the overwhelming urge to binge. I didnt but just the idea of how badly it took me over has me in a bad mood oh well level 3 day 6 finished today.

Finished off Easter with the shred!

We made it a family affair and even DH joined in. I think he was guilted by the carrot cake we had today! LOL

L1D3 done! and I am staying out of the kids easter baskets, even if they do have reeeses eggs in them! AHHHH!!!

Hi everyone!

L1D4 done and I did strength right after I finished with Jillian, so tired.
Lost 2 pounds which I am happy for. I've also started to notice my legs becoming a better shape! I'm not sure if it's from Jillian or Michele's workout, since I started both at the same time.

Have a nice day, and keep moving

Skipped Fri and Sat because of traveling, but did Day 4 yesterday. Had to skip again today because of a migraine. (argh!)

Planning on doing it tomorrow, for sure! L1 is getting easier, so I might even be ready to move up to L2 on Day 10 like I orignally plan.

This amazes me that people can advance after 10 days because it took me a month to be able to advance to level 2...that's how out of shape I am and I don't even have that much weight to lose.

Eyre13- keep it up!

Novangel- don't worry about it, as long as your seeing results.

L1D5 done! I won't be doing any other exercise today. I've decided on doing strength 4 times a week.
So I have a question, what is your post workout meal? I heard your suppose to have a protein shake?

novangel - don't worry. Everyone is different. If you aren't used to that type of workout its harder. it may end up taking me forever to move up to L3. You never know! Besides - I said MIGHT be able to move up. lol. I still have to do it!

Angelsmom - I usually do the workout after I get home before I make dinner... but I think something with some protien (shake or otherwise) would be good. I carry some nuts in my gym bag for hte days when I haven't eaten enough and I need something when I get back to the car to tide me over until dinner.

Missed yesterday, but it was a Zumba day so at least I got that nice 60 min in!

L1D4 just completed. Definitely a difference today! I did 13 pushups before I had to take a quick break. That is a HUGE deal. I probably couldn't do 2 in a row a couple months back!
And I noticed today I was either doing exercises longer while she talked or starting the next exercise while she intro'd it to get a little extra in. Feeling good about it!!
Now, if only I could get through that minute of bicycle crunches! AH! LOL

Gonna google up and see if I can find anything about the average calories burned with this.

Keep it up everyone!!

Just found this, not sure if it's accurate, but it is said to have been found somewhere on Jillian's site.

Hi all

Eyre13- I did some more research on the protein shake and I decided against it. Read this if your interested http://www.theiflife.com/how-much-pr...-build-muscle/

Daug- according to that calculation I'm burning around 125 calories
Good thing I do strength every other day

L1D6 done, and I did strength training today for 30 min

Keep it up guys!

Doesn't sound like much ,does it, Angelsmom! LOL Hopefully it's a little off!

L1D5 done!! A little more sluggish than last night, but upped my pushups to 17 in a row today! YEY!! Think tomorrow I may make the whole rotation without stopping... that is the first time we do them. LOL
And feeling pretty confident I'll do to Level 2 after the 10 days.

I've been doing the 30 day shred for, I believe, 2 weeks now, but I still can't seem to do the push ups. Even the knee push ups (easy one)! I attempted to do the level 2 one day but as soon as Jillian went down and did this weird push up move, I said "oh heck no" and switched back to level 1. Yes, I tried but man...!

Hey everyone

Daug- it's a lot less than I expected, but it's ok, as long as I'm building lean muscle I'm already 900 calorie a day deficit!

Misski- two weeks and still can't do the Girly push ups? That's odd, I'm on day 7 and when I started I could barely do 1! Now I go through all of it without stopping. Have you seen any change in measurements/weight?

L1D7 done!

Good luck all!

Angelsmom,

Lol! It's technically 1 week and 5 days and I can't go up and down repetitively without take one short break. Approximately four years ago, I was the fattest girl in my PE class but I was able to do the girly pushups while a lot of the thinnest girls in class was struggling (I vividly remember looking around and thinking, "Oh my god, this is not that hard!"). We had to do, if I remember correctly, 25 (or 40... Something crazy because we were on the floor for a very long time). Afterwards, my gym teacher high-fived me and said I did great which surprised even me.

The oddest part about this is that I was 68lbs heavier then, so I honestly do NOT know what's going on now! Maybe I need to correct my form or something...?

Well, that was brutal! But L1D6 complete.
No idea what my deal was tonight, but I really struggled. Cardio was okay ,strength I just felt like mush. But I got through it, so I'm happy about that!
Onward!
