Yesterday, I finished level 1 of the 30 Day Shred. “Officially” you are supposed to do each level for 10 days in a row before moving to the next. But I did level 1 about 3 times a week so it’s been almost a month since I first started Shredding.

Here are my numbers.
Weight loss for Level 1…..down 4.2 lbs
Inches lost during Level 1…..15.25 inches

My thoughts on level 1. I did the first 2 days back to back…then I could hardly walk for a few days more. It really worked my thighs and calves more than I expected. I did it all with 5 lb weights, had to ease off a few reps on some moves as my arms and shoulders were killing me. I really enjoyed the ab work and could feel myself getting more focused on them as the month went along. I did girlie push-ups the whole time, but was getting lower and lower each time.

Didn’t really have the knee pain I read alot of people experience, as I said I felt it more in my legs. But even thru that, I always felt great after doing the workout. I got sweatier in those 25 minutes then I have in a long time and I could feel my heart racing as I pushed myself thru the pain.

So while my weight hasn’t changed much, 5 lbs is better than nothing, I was shocked how many inches I lost. Especially in my midsection. I shrunk out of my belt and had to get a “new” old one from my closet…that was awesome! I have had multiple responses from people at work who noticed that I am losing weight, that always help to motivate me to keep going even when the scale is barely moving. Jillian is really helping to redefine my body-and I love it!!!
