And then I ate a bowl of shredded wheat! Virtuous or what!!

Does anyone else want to keep me on the straight and narrow company?

Whoop whoop! We are all doing so well!! So impresses we've stuck at it.

That's day 7 done as we went to the road race today at the Commonwealth and walked a good few km (had to park miles away). Feeling very virtuous will just not mention the brownie and carrot cake we ate while at the games

Day 4 done. I actually managed the jumping jacks properly rather than just waving my arms manically over my head and wishing my legs would move!

Shall we start with 3 pints a day for this week and then increase next week? It's a start. Day 5 done for me today when my baby girl goes to bed.x

SchroSaw hello! Glad you're here! Careful you don't overdo it - I was running and shredding last time I tried and all the impact gave me terrible shin splints. So painful to do anything I packed it all in....

Day 4 done. I don't know about anyone else but I look forward to doing this dvd now. I'm trying to healthy eat too, don't want to ruin the calories I have burnt.

I need to drink more water...anyone want to do a drinking water challenge, as in trying to drink a certain amount per day?

Just been out for 5 yr anniversary dinner, ate too much and then had two scoops of ice cream. Eyes much bigger than my stomach, now too stuffed to sleep. Taking it easy tomorrow and back to exercise and diet on Monday.
I'm up for water challenge but not sure my bladder could handle 3 litres :-)

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 02/08/2014 21:16

Can I join in?

Day 1 level one done, Insanity class yesterday.

I have a holiday in 8 weeks and want to wear a bikini! :o

TwistedThinking welcome! Well done for sticking it to day three - that was the day I thought about packing it in again

Day 6......DONE!

I asked my dh to spot for me to make sure I was doing the exercises properly and for the most part was just a minor correction of stance etc but.....i have been doing the bicycle crunches spectacularly wrong.....i haven't been watching the screen while doing them, just listening to the instructions and I had no idea there was actual stomach crunches as well! I was just doing bicycle legs while congratulating myself on how well I was doing Blush

Day 3 level 1 done today. Not done exercise for so long and everything aching! I'm using muscles I obviously don't normally but up and down the stairs... ouch!

I haven't done today's yet..... we had no broadband this morning then I went out....waiting for my dinner to go down, I should have waited and eaten after.....

Aaaaaah!

I'm up for the water challenge - how much are you aiming for? I drank 3 litres a day for a week and felt amazing but fell off that wagon as well....

Whoa! Day 1 Level 1 done - feel ok for now. Maybe have a bit more muscle tone than I thought.I'll probably feel it later and tomorrow is likely to be more of a struggle!

Good to know the introduction levels are on youtube, if I ever make it up to level three £5 is fairly reasonably priced!

Lullabylullaby · 02/08/2014 08:46

Mostlycakes keep going you are doing really well.

Lullabylullaby · 02/08/2014 08:45

Day 6 L1 hard finding the motivation to get out of bed but after hearing jillian motivate my butt into gear I was skipping, jumping etc as if my life depended on it.
BoFo I bought the dvd for £5 from amazon. I'm not sure if level3 is on you tube

Hello BoFo! I'm a cheapskate so am using the YouTube routine.....

I've got a really sore elbow today.....i think the weights I've been using are too heavy for all the exercises Sad will do today's routine just with tinned fruit or nothing tosee if it improves.

Gutted! Don't want to stop now!!

The last time I tried the 30 day shred I was also running so gave myself shin splints. I stopped for a day or two to let them heal....and never started again..... don't want to so that this time.

BoFo · 01/08/2014 21:15

What an inspiration! I've been plucking up the courage to start 30 day shred for ages.

I am new to it though so a question: are the youtube routines ok or do people find the dvds better?

If the youtube ones are good I'm going for it tomorrow! too much wine has made tonight a write off

Day 5 Whoo Hoo! I'm trying to eat healthy. Weeks days are easier as the kids always like making treats St the weekend. Try and have good breakfast and lunch and light dinner.

Mostlycakes I was having trouble with lifting both arms with the side lunges and now I lift one arm at a time. I find I can concentrate better on my legs and I know my arms are still getting a work out.

Lullabylullaby · 01/08/2014 05:39

I'll join you. I'm on L1D5 today although yesterday I had the most delicious brownie.

MazzR · 31/07/2014 23:07
