Anyone fancy joining me for a quick 30 day shred before Christmas?

I've never done it before but am feeling pretty bleugh at the moment and could do with a pick-up. I think it will help me to watch what I'm eating a bit in the run-up to Christmas too.

I've no idea if I will actually manage a whole 30 days but probably more likely to if someone else is spurring me on! Anyone up for it?

Urgh.

Did day 4 today. Tempted to try L2 as the cardio is easy but will my arms fall off? I'm with Natalie for everything but the press ups but my upper body is so far behind my lower body and cardio - might have something to do with the 10k runs...

Rats. Wishful. 20!!

BrassicaBabe · 07/12/2016 19:51

Heading into day 15. It's. Only. 15. Mins.

Jillian is tiny. I think she is also a former fat kid (like me) and doesn't enjoy exercise all that much (also like me), so there is hope for us all.

I didn't do anything yesterday, but braved Killer Arms and Back Level 3 today, based on the flimsy logic that I find Level 3 of the Shred easier than level 2...not gonna lie, it was horrendous, but I do feel very accomplished for staggering through it (and with 3kg weights for most of it).

She's only 5'2" though. She barely comes up to Natalie's thigh.

BrassicaBabe · 06/12/2016 22:36

I've done a bit of cyber Jillian Michaels stalking. I didn't get much past Wikipedia. It went something like

Ooh, born in 1974. Nice once girl! She's only a tad younger than me.
Weight...115lb (heads off to calculator to work that out in stone) Feck!! 8 stone something?!!! I'd have to never eat again!!

Day 10 done. Promptly followed by a Chinese take-away Blush

Wine here too 🍷

I think I'm going to stick with 20 minutes a day from now on...until I can face running outside again.

The kickboxing one is 20 minutes too, and more fun than shred: entertaining to pretend you're actually kicking the daylights out of Bad People 😀

BrassicaBabe · 06/12/2016 20:51

Day 14 done. Now got wine!!

I'm not sure about all those L2 plank exercises! They hurt my shoulders I'm not sure I'm getting the benefit where I should...Hmm

Day 15 tomorrow and half way!

Anyone got any plans after day 30? (Ignoring the xmas thing!). I was wondering about 6 week 6 pack. But that's 30 mins!! I'm doing ok on the 20 mins I think.

I've got so many eating events over the next fortnight I'm not sure how I'm going to manage not to pile on the weight Sad. Sorry, but I'm not mentally strong enough to go out for a curry and order boiled rice and a dry chicken dish!

MissWillaCather · 05/12/2016 22:38

Oh, busy that's no good. Get well soon.

I did workout 2; it was hard!

Ripped,,I shall be.....😀

Day 13 done. Killing me a tad less!

DeliciousIrony · 05/12/2016 19:38

Willa Wine Hope your day has been less cunty.

Yoga Inferno L1 today + 10 minutes hooping. Still not sure I like that one very much, but I feel pretty good now.

MissWillaCather · 05/12/2016 09:38

Day 12 done!

MissWillaCather · 04/12/2016 22:03

H is such a cunt that you can't eat. Not recommended but very effective

DeliciousIrony · 04/12/2016 21:49

What is the cunt diet??

MissWillaCather · 04/12/2016 21:17

Think I'd have to,kill myself if I knew how much I weigh....

BrassicaBabe · 04/12/2016 21:15

I'm with you random on the plank/plant front!

No scales?! So brave! 5 yo DD recently asked "mummy, why do you keep weighting your feet". Love it!

randomsabreuse · 04/12/2016 21:08

Plant would be a good description of my attempt at a full push up!

randomsabreuse · 04/12/2016 21:07

I have got quite into running and really need to see progress - better splits and overall times - after I did c210k earlier in the year.

So I thought indoor stuff I can do while baby points and laughs might be a good plan but there definitely needs to be a programme. Also doing 30 day squats, plank and abs challenges but not very well having been stymied by cold of doom. Am definitely avoiding the abs - must at least try the plank challenge again after total fail yesterday!

MissWillaCather · 04/12/2016 21:01

I'd be happy to go with the plant! 😀😀

BrassicaBabe · 04/12/2016 20:59

Hahahahahaha "this cunt diet" way gazumps my plant position!!
