Jillian Michaels' 6 week 6 pack - anyone want to (re)start with me?

And level 2 again today:) and swimming with dc and being " attacked by squid"

I am a bit tired now- I have noticed in the morning my tummy is quite a bit flatter, but seems to bulge by lunchtime! Must be all the water, I hope!

And on a good note, the dreaded cs overhang I have from 2 cs doesn't look so blurgh... Although perhaps the light isn't very good:)

Trucks. I think it may be a muscle water thingy. This happens to me when I have gone hard to 6w6p for several days on the trot.

Lavender. L2 is tough. Even if you try to just phone it in. I'm still a sweaty mess.

No Jillian today. DS is cutting his final two molars and wanted to sit on top of me all day. Poor little man. And it's far too late now and I am knackered. Besides I think dS will be up during the night demanding calpol (polpol as he calls it).

Back on Jillian tomorrow though. I will be digging deep.

Did level2 and gave it a bt more wellie- followed Bashira when able, so found it better, if more knackering.

Thanks for the tip mrsf, I was slacking :)

Trucks, are you doing level2 twice? In one day?!!!

Another sweaty L2 Jillian workout today. On day 4 now of L2.

Sadly no sign of six pack but I look less pregnant and fat around the tummy.

I wonder how many weeks of Jillian and how many fast days it will take for me to see an actual 6 pack or any sort of pack! Any bets? Personally I reckon I need to finish this level and do the whole 6 weeks again and have 3 fast days per week and I may see a 2 pack haha

Level 2 still makes my core go. Try holding your abs tight while you do repeater knees and knee crunches. And when you do double crunches, don't just hold your legs in table too but stretch them out like Bashira.

It makes me far far sweatier and more tired than L1.

Trucks, that's funny, I was thinking today level 1 is harder:)

Its very fast, I don't keep up with them, I just try to do the moves properly and assume speed will come. My tummy is going down though, splashed out on 2 new dresses today:)

Thought dh might freak at my frivolous spending ( i spent a lot in coast) as normally I just buy for house and dc, but he just smiled and invited me out for a drink when we can get a babysitter:)

Yes it's on YouTube. Look at the " old school callentics" for one of the stomach exercises. I bought the book on eBay, 10 years younger, look for books by callan Pinckney I think- sorry can't paste on iPad - maybe amazon?

You will think you are doing anything, then whoosh! Plus you will ache next day:) you can do them whenever, I do the waist ones when cooking:)

I found myself spontaneously holding my tummy in today, very weird.

Plus have lost just under 2 kg with the lc bootcamp and doing Gillian 6p6w since 7 sept., so I feel like I am getting somewhere.

Someone on mn put me onto it when I had ds years ago. I couldn't exercise due to cs, massive blood loss and I refused a blood transfusion ( long story) anyway, I just pushed ds in his pram for a walk each day and did callentics ( no trainers involved:)

No excercise at all first month, as also had op for lump removal. 3 months later, back to normal size 8-10. At the end of my prgnt I couldn't get mothercare biggest maternity jeans over my thighs, so yes it was mostly water and I bf, but still walking for and hour with the pram and callentics did the trick.

Its fat now though. Am lc on the lc bootcamp with BIWI and all the losers:) plus this 6p6w which I did level 2 all the way through today at my own pace... And then callentics for tummy.

Hi Trucks. Don't worry about the cardio element. I am a big cardio hater and I can manage this. Why don't you watch the level 2 and see what you think?

Lavender. I am relieved to hear you "only" did the first circuit! Still

And what is this callenistics? I really really need to look younger and quickly please so do tell. Is it harder than Jillian.

I didn't realise there was a whole Jillian thread. Will investigate.

And trucks you do feel a bit sort after Level 2. I also upped weight from a 1kg to a 3kg so perhaps that's adding to the soreness.

I have done a Fast Day today as I completely over indulged Friday and yesterday. But I really want cheese and biscuits... Argh. I also don't want to be fat anymore.

Off to investigate this "make you younger quickly" workout thing.

I only did the first part of level 2:) I'm not a crazy person...
I shall have a go at it tomorrow properly.

I did callentics after, as it worked so well after I had the dc. Apparently I will also look 10 years younger in 10 days:).

Lavender!! Why oh why did you do that??!!! And how did you not pass out at the end of both those workouts??

Just had my daily dose of 6w6p L2. I dug deep and hung in there and polished that sucker off (cheesy Jillian-isms are brilliant- keeps me entertained).

I hope you are both doing well today.

And are we the only ones on the whole of MN who are doing 6w6p?? Seriously?!!

Off to sew labels in DDs new school blazer, boater hat and duffel coat. Only two weeks in from start of term and we have already lost three of the expensive items despite name labels. Can't really say too much to DD as she is only 4 and she would be really upset if I told her off. The school have helped doing a massive hunt for the items. The may or may not turn up. We will see.

Well done mrs f! I made the mistake of doing l2 shred before l2 6p6w. I don't need to do that!

Hi Trucks and lavender.

Well done on your achievements this week. And trucks on inch and weightloss

I have just got my groove back now and completed Level 2 of 6w6p! And rather than 1kg (2.2lbs weight), I upped to a 3kg weight (6.6lbs I think).

Ouch. I am dripping in sweat. Given that I did 15 days of shred and 23 days of L1 of 6w6p and its my second time around (did both in April may June), I could keep up and do all the moves but I almost feel like passing out or being sick. (Oh yeah classy).
And the sweat!! House is ice cold (well 17c) and I wore a vest and large knickers to do the workout in and I am soaked and workout mat is getting a wash as I write.

Sorry TMI. Waaaaaayyyy TMi but all true.

So dig deep! You know whose workout this is!!!

Have a great saturday!

I had to wait til this afternoon to do my regime, and it was awful! Couldnt finish- must do it on empty stomach, so back to first thing for me!

Trucks- I managed to lock the car ages ago, whilst it was still running and the keys were in it. Something to do with the remote locking:)
I just stood there, with the buggy and dd... My handbag was inside too, with the keys..

I never do the cool downs, don't have time. I hate the warmups, feel knackered after the 6p6w one. Found myself shouting " well, good for you" at the very fit " follow if you are super fit " one on the DVD today:)
