It is Day 17, and I am certainly feeling it! It's nice to know that all the hard work I am putting in is getting results-and I think ramping up the Shred was just the extra motivation that I needed!
I did Level 3, feeling all the core muscles I worked yesterday groaning- you haven't lived until you've done some Supermans with Jillian- and I did Karen Voight's Sleek Essentials 20 minute Sweat. Never hurts to get in a little extra cardio!
Onwards to my single workout day- yay 18! I'm so proud of all of us for doing this together. I get so much inspiration from all of you, and it makes it easier to get up and accomplish what I need to accomplish.
On a side note, going to the doctor today to get my thyroid checked- keep your fingers crossed for me that nothing bad happens!

30 Day Shred Challenge: Day 10
Y'all! I am tired!
I find the Shred is harder on me the days that I work because my job is so physical in nature. If I was sitting at a desk, it may be a different story!
I did the Shred Level 2, and stayed with the 5 pound weights until the chair squat V-ups, switching again to the 3 pound weights. I was doing fairly well with the cardio, but when it got to the third cardio section, I had to switch to regular jump rope on the double jump rope section on the second go round. I just didn't have the energy to get all the way up there today!
I rounded out my weights with Karen Voight's Sleek Essentials Strength Effect 20 minute workout. It has a killer ab section!
Happy that tomorrow is my single workout day! And HALLOWEEN! I'm sure it will be a spooky workout. :)

30 Day Shred Challenge: Day 8
Movin' on up! To Level 2! In my deluxe apartment in the sky!
Level 2 Shred is hard, but I am so thankful I completed seven days of Level 1 to prep for it. I started with 5 pound dumbbells, but it was my butt that was yelling at me for most of the workout. All those static lunges! Aye yai yai! I moved to 3 pound dumbbells for the second set of V arm squat thingys. Which my shoulders thanked me for when I got through all that plank work!
Since I was given my monthly gift, I wasn't much for all the jumping today. I did a 20 minute pilates foam roller workout by Karen Voight, the queen of form. Her Sleek Essentials workout series is just what the doctor ordered for my tight low back and sore shoulders.
Onto Day 9! Eight is great, but Nine is FINE!!!!
