1. I’m still Shredding. Just finished today’s workout. Check out my progress here.

2. I missed Saturday.

3. I took last week off of the gym.

4. I went to the gym today. It felt good.

5. I came home and popped Jillian Michaels in.

6. Level 2 is so much harder after you have already bench pressed and done other shoulder/arm exercises. O.M.G.

7. I am super boring today, ladies and gents… I am still trying to catch my breath. ;o)

Hopefully your confessions are a little more exciting then mine.

OMG. I just finished my first day in Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred. I am literally dripping with sweat.

First off, I want to ask those of you who are shredding… the last two days I have been having lower back pain and on the left side it goes down into my ass. Not my “soreness” from working my muscles. It feels like I have a pinched nerve or something. It sucks. And I am having issues with my right knee. Is anyone else experiencing these things??

Okay, about Level 2.

*Jillian, careful… your girls are about to fly out of your bra.

*It was awesome to have a change. 10 days of the same thing every day is boring. I don’t do well with boredom.

*I am not sure I was able to complete ANY exercise with doing ALL of the reps.

*I like this better than Level 1… so far.

*Holy plank moves. Killers.

*I hate lunges. Seriously. Hate. Them.

*I like the twisty jumps and skaters. They may be my favorite so far.

*The ab move holding the weights where you lift your legs can kiss my ass.

*The military press while kicking your legs out? Yeah, I do not have enough balance for that.

What does everyone else think? Have you moved on to Level 2 or are you going to hang around Level 1 a few more days?

1.  I’m still shredding. This should be Day 8.

2. I only did about 1/3 of the program on Friday and skipped Saturday. Now I don’t know what I should do… call today Day 1, Day 6, or Day 8????

3. I did awesome with my eating last week. Until Friday. I was actually down a few pounds, now I am deathly afraid to see the damage that has incurred from the weekend.

4. I ate candy. Lots of candy. Candy is a weakness.

5. It is finally nice out today. I can see some green grass and the snow is almost gone. This makes me very, very happy.

6. I still have a sore throat. My husband has a super-bad, red, sore throat. He is going to the doctor in a half hour. I have a feeling we have a family of streptococcus invading us.

7. In case you haven’t noticed the badge over there —–>, we want to win an award. So that pretty much means we want you to click and vote.

Let’s just hope it continues beyond Day One. ;o)

I did the usual gym-thing after taking the twins to school this morning. I did 30 minutes on the Precor AMT and 30 minutes on the Precor EFX for a total of 4.6 miles. Not too shabby since I was doing the hill workouts! I decided to forego the weight training today and instead did more cardio, since I knew what was coming when I got home.

I popped my 30 Day Shred DVD in and got to it. I absolutely despise the squat/weight combo. I think the chest flies and the jumping jacks were my favorite. I used 5-lb weights and maybe it was a little much, but I got through it and I will only be getting stonger, right? I have a feeling I will be feeling the burn later today!

I had Justin take my BEFORE pics when we got home from the gym this morning and I just downloaded them to my computer. I will definitely NOT be sharing them today, possibly in 30 days… we will see. I seriously wanted to barf when I looked at them. I hate being fat. Ugh.
