30 Day Shred - Day 3

Is the worst. Ugh, I don't want to move.

But I did, and got day 3 under my belt. Feels good to get moving again, and to have started working out, but man, I wish it were easier on my muscles.

Day 4 tomorrow.

30 Day Shred - Day 2

You know how the day after you workout you're really sore? You know when you're so sore that you have a hard time sitting down on the toilet? And that you try to find every excuse possible not to get out of your office chair, because it hurts so much, so you just wheel yourself around everywhere.

That was me today.

I think that explains pretty much everything. I felt great other than muscle soreness though. Felt more awake, and had a lot more energy, which is a huge positive. The only negative so far is that I find that I'm more hungry. I guess I'll need to find some foods higher in fiber then.

Worked out again this afternoon after work. It was soooo tough. It doesn't help that she has you working out the same sore muscles that we worked out yesterday. Man, I can't wait for this to get easier.

Water

Wow.

30 Day Shred - Day 1

Wow, I totally forgot how intense this workout is. Holy Moly!

We got through it, but man was it hot. Since last time we tried doing this, in our old apartment, we had a large enough living room where both Dylan and I could do it together in that space. Because our living room is smaller now, we went to Dicks Sporting Goods and bought some floor mats, and now we've got the car pulled out and the mats setup in the garage to use. But, the garage is sooo warm now that the weather outside has been in the 70s and 80s all last week. I guess the good thing about this is, though, that we're getting a bit more sweat out of it. Can't hurt, right?

Also, to start out, Dylan and I both took measurements to see how much progress we make after each of the 10 days, and then we'll also do a final one to compare day 1 to day 30. I'm going to be brave and post my numbers here:

Neck: 13"
Chest Under Breasts: 30.5"
Waist: 34"
Hips: 41.5"
Left Thigh: 24.5"
Right Thigh: 24"
Left Calf: 15"
Right Calf: 14.5"
Left Bicep: 12"
Right Bicep: 12"
Around Chest, Under Arms: 35"

Not looking forward to tomorrow, but what's going to be worse is Day 3.

Check back tomorrow for another update.

30 Day Shred....Attempt #2

Yep, we're going to try to do the shred again. We failed last time, having completed only 7 days. This time, we're going to do it every day, and we're going to do it right this time: 10 days on Level 1, 10 days on Level 2, and 10 days on Level 3.



We're starting tomorrow. Good luck to us. Oh boy!
