I really like doing level 3 now! but still need to take breaks here and there.
its so funny....sometimes when I'm driving and have to turn the wheel I see my muscle and sometimes I'm rubbing my arm while turning wheel and I surprise myself! I'm like wow!
I even find myself flexing my arms just to check them out!
I still wish I was skinner so you can see more details to my arms....maybe one day I'll get there.
But my husband dosen't want me to lose no more weight. But I've also learned I want to be happy and for me I wish I was really skinny.
I am going to do it when I get home from work. It will just be day 3 for me. My quads and hammies are SO sore. I went on a SUPER long walk at lunch time, and it was painful, but getting extra blood in those muscles had made them feel better. I can feel a difference in my legs having only done it twice, but my legs respond really quickly to exercise. I was complaining to DH last night that I wished the rest of my body would respond like that!
So, I'm sitting here having recently finished day three, and I can't place the song I am singing in my head. It's the damn lame background music from the shred video!
believe me, it really gets annoying by the time you hit level 3! I tried to set it where I would only hear her but she dosen't give you that option! Sometimes I feel like putting it on mute but I really like hearing her motivating words.
I'm trying not to think too much about how I want to look exactly and which body parts I wish were smaller, etc. After all, it doesn't really matter what I want to look like does it? I want to be healthier, stronger, and in better shape - I'm willing to accept my body however it looks when it is those three things and I can actually keep it that way without too much effort. No matter how much I want my thighs to be skinnier, they're just ... not! And that was the one thing that is never, ever skinny on me. Why fight it? I know who'd win already!
I should have time to do my last day on Level 2 today - I can do the whole thing without stopping now!

So I haven't done the Shred for about 3 weeks until today because if I got home from work and it was light outside, I went for a 3-4 mile run instead. I left off at day 8 on Level 1 but when I decided to do the Shred tonight I felt ambitious and went for Level 2. Not sure what I was thinking.....
HOLY CRAP!! I was sweating like crazy and was yelling at Jillian telling her I hated her!!! Geez louise! This level kicked my butt!!!
I anticipate being very sore tomorrow.....will update later :)
I just started Shredding yesterday, in addition to my core strength training and runs on the elliptical. I did level 1, but I thought it was a little too easy for me since I've been doing other pretty intense workouts for the past month or so with other videos and the elliptical, so I think tonight I'll go to level 2.
