Make me shred

[FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin]

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.

have you gargled your heart yet, wallpaper

have found some neck exercises, DD is looking at me like but what does she know

welcome to the new shreddies - good to see you here

That gargled your heart comment makes me feel ill! I can't help imagining it both times she has said it!

What neck exercises have you found ripping? I must admit that the neck rolls and backwards windmills upsets an old injury I have a bit. Be good to know how to keep in all loose!

I went out on another bike ride this afternoon, think its helping to keep moving.

Hi everyone got back on it today, foot not completely better but wore a support bandage while working out. Finished day 10 of the shred, followed by 25 mins of davina super fit, then 15 mins of intense abs felt fab afterwards. Starting Level 2 of the shred tomorrow!

Wow that's brilliant, I am in awe!
Well today is my day off chocolate, am I allowed to go back to bed and get up when it's Wednesday?

Bloody hell iced that is amazing! Good luck Francis with the chocolate ban. Hi to everyone else, old and new! Good luck everyone.

Day 7, level 1 completed with 1kg weights too!

Thanks (Frances here with a chocolate resisting name change :o)
Well done on completing day7!

I knew you sounded familiar!

Come on then, shred?

Shred done with my teo little helpers :)
How's everyone else getting on?

Have got the scaffolding in place and just about to do day 13

Anyone seen wallpaper around today?

Hi to sirzy and Sybil

Wow Wallpaper - you put me to shame!

Ripping - I started L2 last year but can't recall the detail .... perhaps it's best that way!

I've just done Day 8. Went up to 1.5kg on the chest flies (the lying down exercise in circuit 3) - I reverted to 1kg after day 1 last week when I couldn't manage the 1.5kg so am really pleased to see an improvement.

Good luck today everyone! Now I'm off to get on with the rest of my day!

Hello everyone! I thought I'd updated with efforts for today but my post is not here! Goodness knows what I did!
Anyway, I completed my 3rd day of L2, my legs are sore today so I've got to be honest, I'm still finding it hard!

I don't think I'll cycle today, think I need a rest!

Good luck chocolate resisters! You can do it! If its any consolation, on day 1 I stopped having 2 sugars in my tea, down to half. It was grim to start but I don't notice now! That initial craving does wear off!

ripping how did you get on today?

glad you have returned, wallpaper, was beginning to worry you'd exercised yourself into a hole and it sounds as if you almost have i'd die if i did as much as you

i'm def going to stick to L1 until next monday, with the extra weights + neck exercises this is good, i can feel added movement already and we're going to be away Sat/Sunday and not sure if i'll be shredding at the normal time, so not a good idea to move up yet i think

my upper chest is flatter now, still no sign of any abs showing, but i think i've got about 6mths of work to do on those

Hi ripping! Sounds like a good plan moving up on Monday. I'm glad the neck exercises are helping and getting some extra movement going.

I've been gardening since lunchtime. I've managed to hurt my Achilles' tendon, whilst trying to pull really embedded brambles out alongside the conservatory! I will be gutted if I can't shred tomorrow, I was thinking cheerfully earlier that thurs will be my 15th day-half way through the shred!!! I'm going to literally sit down for the rest of the afternoon, DH is home now so he can "herd" my toddler!

I don't think you'll ever see abs on me, too much skin, but at least now it's more just loose skin rather than a layer of flabbiness! I actually have bicep muscles now, and huge thigh muscles! Can anyone else see a difference?!

Level 2 day 1 done! pulled out the old steps dvd too and done the aerobic section the combat section and the target and tone, worked out for 1hr 20 in total - feeling determined. Not really seeing any results though :( will keep with it!

Well done iced that's loads of exercise! Good on yer!

thanks, I don't really do much else activity wise most days so try and cram as much as I can in, cant wait to finish the shred and see if there is any results to show of

day 3 of level 1 done. Still feeling ok except for slightly achy thighs.

Also done the wii fit this morning and may be really good and try to do more tonight.

How are you getting on Frances! Thinking of reporting in here did keep me on my toes re the chocolate and I am looking forward to tomorrow's chocolate! (oops, gotta run, back in a minute)

That gargling the heart business by the way makes me thirsty. Weird. I'm doing this first thing before going to work and today was so busy that I feel shattered, I might be in bed by 8!

Ooh, Wallpaper that is painful, I've just recently had that!

Hi, would you mind if I joined?

I've just done level 1 day 3 :)

I've started about 3 times and never made it past day 4. I need some motivating and arse kicking to get it done

Hi glenthebattleostrich! Welcome, the more the merrier! Well done on making it to Day 3, keep up the good work! I found Day 4 really tough, but from Day 5 things get that little bit easier!

Glad to hear it. I may need someone to come to my house and force me to do it by then!! Or bribe me with gin

Hi glen, cool name :o

lifes I made it! one full day without chocolate. You sound like you can manage it no problem :o

That was tough, day 8, level 1, with 1kg weights completed. Dreading level 2. Good luck everyone shredding today and those abstaining from the sweet stuff. Personally i could do with this
