My 30 Day Shred *Repeat level 1*

So,I just started the 30 day shred last night,& barely made it to my bed afterwards. -_- I didn't realize how out of shape I was until the 3rd set of jumping jacks.I think the cardio got me worse than any of the others.
I have a question though,is it better to do this during the day or at night ? It's easier for me at night,since LO is in bed,but my fiance said it would be better to do it during the day because of my metabolism.And another thing,I don't have hand weights so I just used two bottles of water,(which felt very heavy near the end!) is that okay ?

Here's my before picture sorry about the dirty mirror,I'll try to have it clean before day 30 )

The morning is unfortunately better due to your metabolism but if you can't then you can't, just doing it at all is commendable! and using bottles of water is just fine, the key is just to make sure that the weight is even on both sides, good luck  

If i can get both boys to nap at the same time then i do it then but if not then i have to do it at night. It's definitely a lot easier to do it in the day. I'm not so exhausted. The bottles are fine. I started out using soup cans, then BBQ sauce bottles, then I bought some 5lb weights when they were on sale  

Good luck.

Also, weights are super cheap at walmart! I suggest getting 3 lb weights, they're less than $10 for 2!

It gets easier after a few days! Don't get discouraged! I love 30DS but due to an ankle injury I can't do it, I have to do low impact stuff  

I believe it is better in the morning, but any time is better than no time! I personally can't work out until night time because I pass the hell out afterward.

Thanks ladies ! I might try to do it during the day today then,& just put a movie on for LO in his room.He loves his Thomas ! lol.And I hope to get some weights soon,I hoped to get them but we went shopping in Harrisonburg & I got a new outfit & we bought my wedding dress so money is kinda tight right now,I'm just glad I got the DVD,I've been wanting it for awhile !   Thanks for the luck,I'll need it ! I gotta push through the pain.Like Jillian Michaels said,if you want it,you gotta work for it ! So,that's what I intend to do !!

It's on youtube too, which is handy for ppl who can't buy the DVD. I've thought of occupying the kids to do it, but its something you shouldn't stop once you start so I'm afraid they'd need me for something.

It's on youtube?!

I've been trying to find it in stores for MONTHS, and it's right at my fingertips?!

Try using canned goods for weights.

Yup! I only borrowed my sisters because we don't have a huge Internet package so i didn't want to be streaming it everyday! But it's all there! And less annoying then the video. Does everyone else have to watch a huge introduction every time they turn it on? My blueray won't skip it. It makes me angry every time, lol.

I watched it through my hubby's Xbox so it was on the big screen. Perfect and free

Yeah obviously ! I had never worked out before last night,so it was a huge wake up call for me.My fiance said that if I stick with it til' the end though,he'll buy me the bathing suit I've been wanting !Plus,I'll be able to rock it ;)

Quoting Jalen's mommy:" Try using canned goods for weights."

I think I will this time,even though my arms are like jello just from the water bottles.

Alright ladies,my LO is in his room watching Blue Mountain Mystery so I'm going to start my workout ! Wish me luck,& pray I can make it through the rest of the day after this.lol.
