Missed yesterday as I had a ton of work on, about to start now!

ninjinglebells · 09/01/2013 23:18

missing today as it's too late, I'm tired and I don't think it'll do any harm.

Back tomorrow though!

JustAHolyFool · 09/01/2013 23:44

Definitely easier today! Hurrah! That does mean I have to do level 2 now...maybe on friday.

NeitherShreddedNorSmug · 10/01/2013 00:03

No shredding for me tonight, I'm off out for a run instead.

I thought I was OK after yesterday's 6W6P, until I bent down to put my trainers on. Ouch!

mamab30 · 10/01/2013 06:57

Am I to late to join this? I started on Monday, done 3 days so far

orangina · 10/01/2013 10:02

Never to late to join mamab30! Just done my shred today, and have concluded that I am NOT a morning shred person! Could barely get motivation to FINISH the thing, and I kind of phoned it in towards the end. Really didn't have the va va voom for it. Plus I have a v stiff lower back, maybe because of the intense pilates yesterday? Who knows.....

Back to evenings for tomorrow.

(Fights urge to go back to bed)

DamnDeDoubtance · 10/01/2013 11:06

Just got my killer buns and thighs and completed level one, was great.

About 45 minutes in all, obviously concentrating on legs but enough thrown in for arms / core too.

I have dropped all but a couple of pounds of christmas weight and my body feels toned again. I only work out four times a week too but alternate workouts.

JustAHolyFool · 10/01/2013 16:31

Oh my God. Just did level 2 shred. FUCKING HELL, that is tough.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 10/01/2013 17:16

I just did day 9.
Have been feeling really weak today though. Could barely get the toys out of the cupboard at work today and as for lifting the tables and stacks of chairs.

Not breaking my run was good enough motivation to still do it today though, i just did fewer strength exercises.

I am going out Saturday night and may not have time Saturday day so need to do it tomorrow as well so I can have sun and maybe sat off without too much guilt.

Hi all,

glad to hear you're all having fun!! I have a month calendar and I put stickers on it every time I do it. I also plan rest day so I get a sticker if it was pre planned not to do it IYSWIM as I want to get a star every day!

I have decided to alternate level 1 and level 2 for a few days as I think level 2 will be a killer, but might try that one tomorrow!!

2 days till weigh in! Iv been really good food wise, I am on My Fitness pal too (same nn as here if anyone wants to add me). Had pizza hut lunch and still managed to get my 5 a day and keep within calories!! (not sure it classes as balanced though!!)

Well I look forward to not being able to move tomorrow!!

WiseKneeHair · 10/01/2013 20:22

Well done everyone. I think we are doing so well.
I'm not doing it tonight for the first time this year. Wink
I have been lazing at the spa today, but I did swim and do some core work.
I think my leg feels a bit better, so I'm hoping to do it tomorrow. Then, maybe, level 2 on Saturday. Maybe.

WiseKneeHair · 10/01/2013 20:23

Karatekimmi
Sorry, meant to say welcome and that I am HappyKite on MFP. I'll look for you.

NeitherShreddedNorSmug · 11/01/2013 01:59

Still on level 1. I did some real press ups tonight. But the side lunges s=don't seem to be getting any easier.

wem · 11/01/2013 08:03

Morning, just posting now so that I have to come back later and say I've done it :)

Missed yesterday without any replacement exercise so in danger of letting it drift. I was working on a cake so every spare minute was taken up apart from watching The Big Bang Theory.

Kick my ass and tell me to make time for it!

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 08:22

Morning. Leg aching a bit still, but going to give it a go later. Not sure if I'll be able to do the high impact version though.

wem . You don't need to thank me. Grin

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 08:24

Well, that didn't make sense!
Try again

wem You really don't need to thank me. Grin

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 08:25

Ahhh. I don't know what is going wrong, but I'm really gonna give you a big luck up the ass wem as I'm getting annoyed now.

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 08:28

FFS!

A BIG KICK UP THE ASS

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS ONE

IN FACT, COME NEAR ME AND I'LL KICK YOU UP THE ASS WETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT.

And breathe.

wem · 11/01/2013 08:34

Grin I have no idea what was wrong with the first one, but it was quite fun watching you try to correct it.

I'm sorry if I've made you start doling out ass-kicks indiscriminately though. Or rather, sorry for the poor recipients Grin

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 08:44

I'm in the house alone at the moment which is probably a good thing! I have moved from my phone to iPad, so hopefully no more problems. Your ass has definitely had a whopping though.😃
I need to channel that energy into my work out.

ninjinglebells · 11/01/2013 09:11

Shredded Smile might do it again this evening as well. Definitely feeling trimmer Grin

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 09:39

Right, no excuses now. Breakfast must be digested now, so time to get off MN and shred.

ninjingle twice in one day? Mmm, my competitive streak is coming out now. Grin

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 10:46

Level 1 done. I ignored the pain in my leg probably will regret that
Now wondering whether to try level 2 later as if I'm crap at it, I can console myself that I've already done level 1 today. Grin

JustAHolyFool · 11/01/2013 10:47

Twice in one day. Well done!

I've been doing some flexibility exercises from youtube as well, my knees are so unflexible, it's ridiculous.

WiseKneeHair · 11/01/2013 10:49

I'm only talking twice in one day to keep up with ninjingle doesn't mean I'll actually do it. Grin
