December Shred Thread

[WillColbert]

Welcome one and all to another month of shredding. Do join in and share your updates, experiences and tips as we shred our way to Christmas.

L1D6 done.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

L1D6 done. I think I'm going to stick with L1 this week, then have xmas/new year off and start again when DD goes back to school.

No shredding for me today - suffering with a cold. Hope to be back on form tomorrow!

Hello all! I'm back after a sabbatical (the dodgy knee followed by a UTI). I did L1 today (D1 or 11 depending how you look at it!). I thought it would be awful but actually it was fine well you know, the usual immense sweating etc! so I think I'll move on to l2 tomorrow. Good to see people still going for it! :)

Did L3 D2 but not going to manage to finish before Christmas now - back has been hurting so think I need to take a couple of days off as I have an issue with my back and right shoulder and think the planks in L3 haven't helped! Will aim to do 2-3 more this week, rest over Xmas, then finish in Jan.

L3D7 done. Hope to finish by Friday and then take the Christmas week off. Haven't decided whether to re-do in January or move on to RI30.

Urgh. Not sure I'll do it today ... discovered this morning that while we were out yesterday evening the dog was caught short....on the sofa. So the living room is in disarray and I'm really not in the mood. Also this is probably the last day of nice weather for a while so we'll probably go out for a walk.

Errol hope you manage to get front room sorted and enjoy your walk.

I had three days off in the end, one of my upper arms was really hurting when I raised it. Back on it today and it helped wake me up this morning!

I have missed my christmas target too ms fireman oh well whats a day or so, at least jillian michaels will never know, ;)

We have a man cleaning the sofa now - hopefully he can extract the pee!

Oh dear Erol! Hope all sorted now. Our house is also in disarray after a burst water pipe last night left water flooding out of the kitchen ceiling - spent the whole day washing towels!

Having a couple of days off shredding to rest my back but did a 20 min cardio DVD and a walk in the park.

L3D8 done.

Have ordered RI30 for January and will also get some bigger weights (only use 1kg at the moment).

Hope all domestic crisis are sorted today.

Morning all, I didn't shred yesterday due to stomach cramps (ouch) but completed L2D1 today. It was tough but I survived!

Will hope the cold has improved.

Morning all, L2D3 today after a few days off ( DS poorly and chaotic house too due to ill timed home improvement. Place is utter chaos)
Reeeeally couldn't be arsed but once I got going I felt much better for it. Hope you're all well :)

Well done those of you who are keeping going - my sofa is still drying in the middle of the living room which is my excuse to be lazy doesn't leave enough space.

L1D7 completed earlier.
Couple of days off due to DS2's cold turning into a chest infection.
Hope all the other poorly kiddies and mental houses are better soon!

Disappointed I missed that giraffe.

Cold much better now thanks OCome - very glad it's out of the way in time for Christmas.

L3D9 done - almost there!

Me again! L3D10 done - hurrah!

I'll take a break now until Jan when I'll be attempting RI30. Will try not to undo all the good work in a festive splurge.

Congratulation Will.
I bet it feels brilliant!

Hoping to fit in Shred when the little one naps next, missed yesterday due to having literally the day from hell.
I feel like I will never finish this, but just trying to keep at it.

Well done Will :)
Feeling a bit cack as due to munchkins being under the weather have only shredded once this week :( need to get back on it!

Well done Will!
As I'd already decided to take a break over xmas it didn't really seem worth doing today - want to get some work finished off before the break. See some of you in the New Year - someone remember to start a new thread Jan 1st, I'd guess there will be a lot of people starting it as a New Year Resolution. (not me - it'll be my 53rd birthday )

I've just started and yes I will be doing it on Christmas Day (probably). The DC are doing it with me as DS1 (10 yo) wants to be fit for rugby at the start of next term.

We aren't using weights yet because I am too unfit. I thought I would get a few days in before using them.

I felt it this morning - when does the pain stop?

The pain diminishes after the first 3-4 days. Have your DC tried it yet - did they enjoy it?

They did far better than me. The 6 yo is worryingly keen, on the other hand, he is like having a mini personal trainer.

Good news on the pain. I didn't want to delay starting until after Christmas as I knew it would probably be mid Jan before I remembered it again.

L1D8 finished. Slowly slowly.
