I need a Shred buddy

Good Morning!

Level 3, Day 6.
(Day 21 of Shredding)

L1 day whatever ive forgotten but i think i will maybe venture onto level 2 tomorrow as i found it a little bit easy today apart from pulling a muscle in my calf jumping rope. I use 2 k weights cos that all i had.
I strangely find the sit ups easy but i am wondering after 5 kids and 4 c sections whether i just dont have any ab muscles to hurt? DD likes to join in but she cant stop talking so i ended up telling her off cos i cant breathe never mind chat.
Does anyone else really sweat,i mean wet face and hair sweaty?

Supersal, I have 'proper' weights but it hurts to put my weight on them. Hurts my fingers more than my stomach or shoulders or any other part of my body I am supposed to be toning.

Ladies, can I join you? I am in serious need of jump-starting my fitness level (haven't seriously exercised for 4 years!) and have ordered the DVD. How much space do I need, and is there an iPhone app yet with the shred?

Level 3, Day 6.

Feel a bit silly posting at the moment seeing as I don't have much to say, just logging each shred. I'm wondering if that's why some of you seem to have stopped posting?

Good Morning everyone

Level 3, Day 5

Ledkr, it's not a failure, just a hiccup!

SuperSal, I'm sure you felt the same thing about level 2 when you started it, didn't you?

I am a failure,i did last night and then went to watcdh footie at my mstes and demolished a a bottle of wine forgetting that in my new baby life i cant sleep it off,hence been awake since 6 feeling very shady I seriously cant face it untill ive slept again.

Where is everyone?

I did level 1 today because it's mother's day here so I thought it would be a good compromise between having a rest and keeping it up. The press ups are still as difficult!

Level 3, Day 4

Supersal, have you started level 3 yet?

Ach Ledkr, I'll bet you will feel better if you do it. I hadn't said before buy I'm on ADs for PND, and I actually think the exercise has helped more than the tablets so give it a go!

Im on mat too but have problem curly hair that needs attention or i look like tina turner-obviously without the rock hard bod
I have lost a couple of ilbs but it coild be natural post baby weight loss Fell like jeans do up better too.Having a rwst today as have aheadache and feel abit down-i may do it later actually to lift my spirits.

I've weighed the same since I've started but have lost inches and look and feel more toned - I figured it must be the muscle vs fat thing too! I didn't measure myself before I began, but did on the 10th and 20th days of actual exercise - not just of doing it.

Level 3 day 3 completed

I think I've made progress on this level but it was difficult to judge properly with DD sitting on the sofa telling me I was cheating whenever I didn't join in with Nathalie.

I too found my period less painful this time round.
My quads are definitely stronger, I can feel it when I moisturise my legs. Can't see anything different elsewhere. Oh and I am heavier than before I started but clothes fit the same. Could it be fat turning to muscle?

Brianstorm, how often are you measuring.

Oh, and welcome Doyouthinktheysaurus! Very envious of the marathon running, which is my own personal goal - but feel a whole lot better that it didn't make the Shred that much easier

L3D5 completed - missed 1 day, then another 2 since last Friday - brother in hospital (planned operation) but just means more running about! I'm with Pat about the period thing - the first time I missed a day was the night before I got my period (didn't realise as first proper one after stopping BFing) - and I was just exhausted, whereas day of my period I was totally good to go, and it did give me some pain relief :-)

Sweating like a bitch my end! I'm on maternity so I don't have the work problem, and my hair can be made to look a lot less greasy with a bit of baby powder has a flexible style . Think when I'm back at work, it's definitely going to have to be a night time thing, so I can at least get a shower in the morning.

OtherSide - I love that exercise too - I was convinced I wasn't doing it right. Not that I was looking for a better way to do it!

Measuring time again in 5 days - have a hen weekend to go to as well, so have a feeling the improvement might be minimal...

Just did day whatever,wow it sometimes feels easier and sometimes not,i too am getting thru lots of sweaty clothes,tried wearing shorts today but the sight of my flabby legs was more than i could bear,gosh its hard tho.

Yes, it's hard to go without washing my hair afterwards and still look presentable for work.
And all that extra washing: I am getting through an extra T-shirt and socks and underwear every day!

One of the exercises in Level 3 is really easy for me(the one where you have a weight in one hand and you squat and move the weight up and down). I feel like I'm having a rest when I do that one. I suspect I should be using a heavier weight rather than catching my breath for 2 mins!

funnyily enough the baby slept all night but i feel less inclined to shred today,will tho for sure. Does anyone find it a bit of abind cos i sweat like a p.i.g. when i do it so always need to shower and dry hair etc,i have spent the last week with unstraightened hair and no make up,hardly looking like im on a health kick haha had a look at l2 just to see what chickens was banging on about and woah!! Not exactly looking forward to that.
