The table is pulled out of the way. The jingly music is playing. Jillian is grinning at me and waiting to introduce me to her "two best girls helping us out". But I cannot bring myself to press play.
I did so well last week, a full week of shredding and watching what I eat. This week, Mr Motivation has left the building. I've already hada a square of chocolate.

Nice trick. You all ignore this so I get bored and go and do it. Ok, push ups it is

Only one square of chocolate. Wow ??

RippingYarns · 01/08/2013 08:00

I'll do it with you, but at 10 once breakfast is done and I've got DD settled with something.

Have you done it before? The first one is the hardest. .

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 01/08/2013 08:03

Its not even 8am, very early for chocolate dont you think?

Yes done it many many times before. I can say her lines for her.
"They dont even cheat"
"Id do juat about anything to get them"
"You are capable of working out, you're capable of working out hard"
If you think you're gonna die stick with anita"

Do it or I will make you come to bootcamp with me, which is like shred but lasts an hour and is harder.

I've done it before yes, DD has to be out of the way as she lacks spaciaj awareness and would be injured as I lumber about like an elephant move

Dooin, you're scary - just what is needed too!

RippingYarns · 01/08/2013 08:22

Right, have convinced DD I'm doing it now see you in 25 mins :-D

D0oinMeCleanin · 01/08/2013 08:23

Dd1 thinks so too Grin She is very unhappy. I am cruel. I'm not bothered about her fitness, I just want her to do something without her little sister holding her hand and dd2 is not old enough for this, she already knows the instructor, I know all of the other children's parents and none of them are bitchy so I doubt the kids are, so this is the ideal club for her to start gaining some independence from her little sister at.

Poppy4453 · 01/08/2013 08:33

I'm in....I can see my hip bones again thanks to the shred.

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 01/08/2013 08:51

Thanks for the kick up the arse I needed

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 01/08/2013 09:09

Thanks ladies, saw this thread and it spured me on! Tentatively unwrapped the DVD and have just completed my first workout! Don't think I will be able to walk tomorrow however. The LO's did it with me which was quite funny! A 2 year old shouting bounce bounce mummy is a little distracting though!

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 01/08/2013 09:12

Well done!!
I used to get up early to try to do it before the dcs woke up but then ds specifically asked me to wait for him!
Jillian is right though, by day 4 youll find it easy

OP posts:
wallpaperaddict · 01/08/2013 09:31

Roll on day 4 then!

RippingYarns · 01/08/2013 10:01

i think the trick is if you do it every day, your muscles don't get time to ache - it's always 2 days after something that you feel it most

i've done the 30 days twice through, then got lazy. this time will be different

SneezySnatcher · 01/08/2013 15:45

Oh gosh. I was going to do it, but then all the quotes made me feel ill. I hate knowing what she's going to say next! I think I'll move onto L2 as I've done 9 days of L1.

Remember, pain is fear leaving the body...
