30-day shred in January

[juneau]

Anyone want to join me?

I love it when Natalie cheats . However, they probably had to do a million takes so not sure it means we get to cheat too .

Hang on in there JustAHolyFool, it's all worth it in the end :)

God, yeah, I wonder if they had to keep doing the same thing over and over. Must have been exhausting, especially for hardcore Natalie. Not JM, she just does one squat and then wanders about for a bit.

It'll be worth it if I have Natalie's abs in the end.

I love it in level one where Natalie gives up on the side lunges for a bit and just uses her arms then jillian says "look at them they're not even cheating" *may not be exact quote, i haven't used sound in a while

Day six done
Also a lot of chocolate eaten which may invalidate it!

Fitness not weight loss fitness not weightloss.

I think my arms look less flabby already. Not exactly toned yet though.

Fitness not weight loss, absolutely.

And also, chocolate doesn't invalidate Shred. Shred means you can eat chocolate .

Day 7 done, and even though I was still a sweaty heap at the end it did seem a bit easier overall. I'm still only doing press-ups from my knees though - what's everyone else doing? I will be sticking at level 1 until I can do everything properly.

According to DD2 I'm doing Shred so that in 26 days time I too will have Jillian's tummy, and i can walk down the road in a crop top pointing at my tummy squealing "Look At My Tummy!!!!!!!!!!". I'm not sure exactly where the support becomes teen sarcasm

But I definitely want Jillian's tummy rather than Anita's. Does Jillian eat chocolate do you think? probably not

I'm not even managing Anita press-ups

Am I going to face it tonight? After first day back at work...

I have 42 days before we go skiing, so I have 12 spare days to play with...

Well done everyone.
I'm feeling unmotivated tonight. I was working this weekend (and new year) so that's 8 days without a break, so I'm flagging somewhat.
Please nag motivate me to do it after getting the DS's to bed, doing the Internet shop and whatever else needs doing.

big Tilly I'll do it if you do it maybe

Go on bigTillyMint and WiseKneeHair, do it!

Come on Wise and Tilly, don't phone this in! Stick your tush out! No shame! If you want results, you have to hang with us! If you want abs like these, you have to work for them!

Ok, another day done (yay!)..... managed to do 3 Anita style (ie, a bit lame) push ups before wanting to pass out, so reverted to super lame efforts. BUT, am finding even super lame more difficult to do if Imove arms/shoulders further away from knees.....

So, level 1 day 6 done. Am still motivated (looks down at blancmange belly) but admit that it's not always so easy to find the enthusiasm.....

PS: Am very glad that I have this thread to keep me going!

Thanks guys
I'm going to put my workout gear on before doing the Internet shop, so will hopefully feel motivated to shred afterwards.
No phoning it in, even though I'm on my phone now.

Go WiseKneeHair....

(channels inner cheerleader)

Day 7 level 1 here phoned it in a bit, I was starting to get migraine triggers today so took a load of painkillers but still feel a bit odd.

I did the whole shred last time and could only manage one proper push up

wiseKneeHair - that's what I do - put on the exercise gear so I HAVE to do it later.

I've been to the gym - I joined 2 months ago and hadn't been yet , so now it'll be easier to go again.

So in the last 9 days that's 8 days of exercise :) I think it's making a difference.

Well done ninjingle and thanks orangina - I hope the cheer leading was accompanied by a few jumps and Pom-Pom shakes.

Well, I did it and it felt relatively comfortable, so thanks for all the encouragement.
I think I'll do level 1 again tomorrow (day 8) and then have a go at level 2 - gulp!-

Hello there, I did day 4 level 1 today, can I join in?

Right, reading this has inspired me to have a go.

I meant to do it from the start of January. Have done it once.. phoooned it iin.. well done for keeping going!! I will restart. tomorrow.

Morning all.
Welcome hatchi and cafe.
Well, I weighed myself today and have lost 2.5 lbs in the last week. If I'm honest, I'm slightly disapointed with that for a first week. I know it's better to lose it slowly, but eating wise I've been so good apart from the McD's on Sunday and shredded every day.
Before you ask, I measured myself as well (just chest, waist, hips) and I haven't lost any inches either!
However, I'm not too bothered about that as I do feel slightly firmer and I think if I'd measured thighs and upper arms, I would have noticed a difference as that is where I have noticed it most.
Still feeling motivated and planning on day 8, level 1 tonight. I might even attempt my second proper press up.

Just realised it's not morning! , so afternoon all.
