August 2014 30 Day Shred - Roll up, roll up, it's the new Shred Thread

RI30 L3 D8 done. I had a sneak preview of the first half of L4 this morning and it looks bad. Scared of next week now!

Thanks, yadah: for some reason I'd convinced myself that the BR workouts were 45 minutes!

And 30DSL3D6 is done. More fluid than last time, getting smoother and I'm starting to remember the order of the moves, so less gaps between them.

Hey all. Having a disastrous week here. Life has been so hectic and I have not shredded for three days... Sorry Fuckalella, I am not doing well for our team at all.

Many congratulations to Tango on completing the shred. I WILL complete it!

Anyone heard from Shadows? Hope you're ok shadows if you're reading. Have been thinking of you.

Right, am writing today off as the end of a bad run. Tomorrow I SHRED...

Tango - congratulations, both on staying the course and achieving brilliant results.

I'm set to Shred in a little bit - watching last nights Holby City first!

I've just done 30DS L3D8 (and ignored DH's comment 'so now you've warmed up you can come running with me').

Hi everyone, can I join please? Having had my daughter 24 weeks ago and with the prospect of a wedding next month, I thought I'd better make an effort to get rid of the last of the baby weight and tone up.

Have just completed 30DSL2D1. Oh my goodness I was not expecting all that plank work!

In an effort to get (already quite fit) DH a bit fitter I suggested he give level 1 a go as it's only 20 mins. Well, watching him made me feel a bit smug as he was struggling on the first circuit and concluded that JM is 'Hitler in knickers'. He hasn't given it another go but is much more supportive when he sees me huffing and puffing after a workout!

Oh and not forgetting the copious amts of wine!

Hi can I join ye? I've just done L1D6 today. Have done it a few times before though but have a weddig next month and am going to shred the shit out of it to remove some summer wobbliness!! Whoever said dieting in the summer is easier?? Salads pah! I'm all ice-cream, BBQ etc...

Well done on completing the shred Tango - I'm hoping to be in the same place in a few more days (3 more days of level 3 to go for me).

I'm still undecided about whether to repeat 30DS or move onto RI30 (or something else). I think I'll have a sneak preview of RI30 and decide whether I can cope with attempting that while I'm on holiday (I'll be away for 2.5 weeks, so will need to manage some exercise while I'm away).

I have COMPLETED the shred. 30DSL3D10 done.

I broke my blooming rule about fortnightly weigh-ins and have been taught a lesson. I started out at 13st 6. Yesterday I weighed 12st 3 this morning I'm 12st 8. Hmm.

Anyway:
I've lost somewhere between 12 and 17 lbs and 4.5 inches off my belly.
Pretty damn good. I'm now not far off healthy BMI.

I'm going away tomorrow until Sun so am going to start again from the beginning next Mon. Too scared to do RI30. Will master the shred at Natalie level first.

Shredded today. Really trying hard not to give up.

RI30 L3D7 done. Poor DS wanted to have a picnic today and it's pouring with rain here.

30DSL2D9 done today. Don't feel ready for L3 yet though!

No Shred today, osteopath appt this morning for my tight left hip, no exercise for 24hrs advised. Enjoying the break!

30DS L3D7 completed. Better go and have a shower - DC are away so I'm going out for dinner with DH tonight. I think I might even have pudding!

RI30 L3D6 done (I definitely think it counts, flowerpowergirl: I've had eight days between days 5 and 6 while I went on holiday!). Actually it wasn't bad at all coming back to it after a break.

I'm beginning to think what to do when I finish RI30: has she done any others that are under 30 minutes including the warm up and cool down? I looked at BR but the workouts are too long. I might just go back to the Shred from the beginning but use heavier weights this time.

30DS L1D6 done albeit with 2 weeks in between days 5&6. Does that still count? Not as bad as I feared but my right knee is hurting. I think I am pushing my knee forward in the lunges. The thing she says not to do cos it's bad for the knees. Hmmm

Marking place for later. Fell off the shredding wagon last month with loads of visitors here (too many busy days late nights and alcohol all of which has reversed the minuscule effects of the shred so am now fatter than when I started ...) Must persevere..

30DSL3D5 done. I hate circuit 3, I'm particular travelling push-ups, urghhhhhhhhh!

30DS L3D6. Finally feel like I'm getting the hang of this level. Hoping to complete the shred this week.

30DSL3D4 done. And before 10pm!

Getting slightly smoother...

I might have had a minor slip up today with a very grumpy overtired baby and a slight hangover after a wedding yesterday. So we have had one day off each. Didn't shred yesterday but did go for a run so am counting that as my exercise... Back to the shred with a vengeance tomorrow!
