Day 11 - I started Level 2 this morning. Holy planks, Batman! Jillian stepped it up with this one. It was my first time doing it, so I was a little lost. I did all the modified exercises today. I am super tired, and my muscles already feel a little shaky, so I'm pretty sure I'm looking forward to being sore tomorrow. Excited to see how this level feels after a few days! Day 12 - Oh man, Level 2 is SO much harder than Level 1. I'm really sore today, especially my butt! I was absolutely drenched in sweat this morning. Gross for my hair. I'm going to stretch a lot more today to make sure I feel better tomorrow. Day 13 - So I forgot to stretch. And today was the hardest work out yet. And I had typed this up earlier and I lost it. ;( It was seriously the hardest one I've done. Aaaaaand I'm sick. Days 14-whatever are getting skipped. I'll start back over when I'm sure that this virus has passed. I have missed my morning workouts! I've skipped 4 day...

Day 2 - Pretty sore when I woke up this morning, but I got up early to work out! It was easier to do today. I think maybe because I just drank water before I started instead of eating something. I could do 10 pushups for each set today. I still didn't use any weights, but I think I may get some out for day 3 or 4. I feel less sore after finishing it than when I got up! Day 3 - Definitely still really sore, but it isn't as bad as I imagined it would be before I started. I did 12 pushups in each set today! I added my Leslie Sansone water weights, which are really light but still better than nothing. Yesterday, I was absolutely wired all day after working out in the morning. I am hopeful that this will be a positive change for my energy level! Day 4 - The soreness is starting to lessen. Maybe part of it was walking a couple of miles last night. I think that loosened me up. Today was still hard, but I was trying to push myself a little harder than I had been. I didn't ea...

Okay, let's try this again. I just did Jillian Michaels's 30 Day Shred Level 1 workout. I bought this DVD about... okay, FOUR years ago. And I've never made it past day 1 because you get ridiculously sore and Jillian makes you hate her. But I'm tired of feeling weak even though I'm doing okay with cardio, and I want something to kick start some strength training and toning for me! So I'm putting this out here, to help motivate myself when I wake up tomorrow in extreme pain. I weighed myself and took all my measurements today. Noooo I am for sure not posting my starting measurements on here, though I will say I'm right at the lowest weight I've been as an adult, and my waist measurement has gone down .75 inches just from eating differently the last month. Booyah booyah. I WILL post any changes like losing weight or losing inches. Maybe if I get down to that ultimate goal weight I've been trying to hit for several years, I'll tell you what ...
