Hello again Natalie and Anita

[HermioneWeasley]

Back on 30 day shred after years of phoning it in at the gym. Just stepped up to level 2. It’s so hard 😭😭

30DS L2 D2 and L3 D2 done (D5&6) ✅ ✅

Plus morning meditation!

I missed yesterday so doubled up today! Jump in and join us @ilovecardigans. I am liking this way, and great to have @roonetta as a buddy. Back to L1 tomorrow....do we get a rest day ?!?

I proved yesterday that I have to get up and workout straight away “I’ll do it later” does not work for me!

Jumping in there with both feet tomorrow, @CalmConfident! HIIT day today with my chums from Fitness Blender.

Wonder how hard I'll find L1 this time round? Gulp... 😬

Well done Calm - I have never doubled up on Jillian! I am taking my rest day today (usually would be a Friday as I am in the office, but I have been off for half term with the kids). I think we should definitely factor in a rest day 😀

How about we do 6 days (so 2 rounds) then a rest day ? Or we might have to jiggle a bit and stay in sync most of the time?

Checked my JM app and for 30DS you get day 7, 14 and 21 as the rest days.

Just thinking, @roonetta must have L3 tomorrow so shall we start on Monday with L1 and I’ll rest tomorrow! Would a Monday restart be ok for you cardigans?

Yep I’m happy with that Calm. As long as we have one rest day a week, we will be sort of in sync with each other and then we can take our rest days when we want. It makes sense 😃

Monday restart is cool with me, @CalmConfident - I'll do another HIIT tomorrow instead. 👍

Definitely going to do the same as you and @roonetta - L1, L2, L3,
and repeat, with 1 rest day. Oh my, I hope I can manage it (I'm no spring chicken!). 😵

Lovely to have company!

I'm in complete agreement with you Calm, "I'll do it later" never happens in my house, it's first thing or never!

I skipped Friday WO10 but did 5km run and another 5km today instead of Cardio 3. It's getting colder and darker now and I have college assignments and my motivation is definitely waning. Need to find something to focus on to get me closer to Xmas...

Hooray ! We are now a gang of 3 .

So we start at L1 on Monday and take a rest day at some point in the week when suits but we can stay more or less in sync. Works perfectly !!

@TinyHouseFan - I am making myself a November star chart to motivate myself!

A sticker for each 30DS and an extra one if I hit my 10,000 steps. Worth a try !

Star chart sounds like fun - I'm sure I have some gold & silver star stickers kicking about from my teacher training days.

Shrevember! ⭐

Well done Tiny you are so close. Keep it going girl. Is it 2 or 3 weeks left?

Enjoy your rest day Calm 🙂

30DS L3 D6 done ✅

Hi, I'd love to join in this - I'm seriously lacking motivation right now but my jeans are screaming in pain at me So I definitely need to take action!
Just been looking at the DVD on Amazon - or is it available elsewhere to follow along to?

Welcome @Happyinheels! I think you can 'buy' it via Amazon Prime Video (i.e. not an actual physical DVD - so you could access it straight away). It might also be available via the Jillian Michaels' app, but I don't do apps (dinosaur - no smart phone!), so I haven't looked into it.

Good work, @roonetta! Jumping lunges and rock star jumps AIIIEEEEE!! 😬

I have the Jillian app, but before I got that I had 30DS from iTunes Store

30DS L1 D3 (D7) done ✅

Sharing my freshly minted star chart

I love it @CalmConfident, well done! 😍 I'm cracking on with L1 this avo after DH has beetled off to work.

I'll have to make do with stickers on my Hearing Dogs calendar, as my printer has run out of ink and I'm skinty poo... 😕

Welcome @Happyinheels! Yes, please come and join us

Loving the sticker chart Calm - it's impressive and made me smile

Nothing wrong with stickers on the Hearing Dogs Calendar cardigans - any way which motivates us is all good!

How's it going Tiny?

30DS L1 (D7) done. I was so glad it was Level 1 today. I felt I was a lot fitter today than when I started a week ago and was hardly out of puff with the cardio which is really unusual for me.

Well done, @roonetta! 💪

30DS L1 D1 done 👍
Loved it - like slipping into a well worn pair of jeans and being pleasantly surprised that they still fit! Dreading L2 (my nemesis) tomorrow.

Also today:
LISS - 4 mile brisk walk
Strength - Stronger P3 Workout 1
HIIT is shelved while I work my way through 30DS again ('cos I'm knackered!)

Ri30 L2D3 done ✅

Oh, I am loving the star charts!! Definitely need something here as I am not loving Jillian this week.
I started a new role (in the same company and still working from home) today and have college assignments due on Friday so just couldn't get out of bed this morning. I did manage 5km run on Saturday and 7km run on Sunday though..

Back to Jillian in the morning. Promise, with or without a star chart!!

OK, I'm back in the game! WO9 done... and I gave it my all, no phoning it in at all..

Wow you are really going for it cardigans! How did you find level 2?

Yasss Tiny well done! It sounds like you have lots going on at the moment so I get how you can't fit everything in. Well done to you for getting WO9 done

Are you going to join us @Happyinheels? Go on, we are a great bunch!

30DS L2 D8 done - those chair squats with v-lift were a bit easier today with the lighter weights. Anyone else feel dizzy after doing the neck circle thingies in the warmup? The room is spinning and she goes immediately into jumping jacks!
