Well it was a bit of a mixed week for me this week. I started off on level 2, had a few iffy days where I dropped back down to level 1 and then felt fitter and stronger so tried level 3. It made me realise there is nothing wrong with mixing it up a bit to keep it interesting and to keep you motivated. Unfortunately the week ended with me taking the last two days off as away. I got straight back on it though.
Day 15
Did level 2 again and felt good. My reflection isn't so scary anymore, my tummy is flatter, thighs more toned and my bottom is changing shape too. Best of all I feel fitter.
Day 16
My body ached today and I didn't have any energy so did level 1. It actually felt good doing it and I got all the way through so it was the right decision. Despite not feeling my best I felt fitter and stronger than I did at the start and I'm looking better in my knickers….I will get that bikini body.
Day 17
I ached again today and didn't feel great so did level 1 again. At last I'm exercising daily I told myself. Felt good and a little relieved once I had finished it.
Day 18
Tried level 3 today as had buckets of energy and was glad I did. It's hard, really hard but I enjoyed the challenge. There's hardly any jumping jacks (yeeehh), more shadow boxing (with weights this time) and lots of exercises involving the plank position (hardcore). I think I might mix the levels up depending on how I feel that day.
Day 19
Did level 3 again and felt good. It's tough and I wasn't able to do all the high impact moves but I kept it up almost until the end. The last abs move almost killed me though!!
Days 20-21
I took Sat & Sun off as we were away but got straight back into it on the Monday. I actually felt a bit guilty and missed it but it couldn't be helped.
Not only am I noticing a difference in my body shape I am noticing other changes too. I am sleeping better, I'm more relaxed and I'm a bit more patient with the girls. All reasons to keep doing what I'm doing.
Back next week.

February 4, 2014 at 12:57 pm (11 years ago)Well done for sticking with it. I attempted it in October (for Shredtober) and I felt so much better for it. Unfortunately I injured myself halfway through the month and had to stop – I was gutted. I really would love to get back to it again, as I had so much energy while I was doing it. I’m just recovering from an operation so might give myself a bit more time to heal before giving it another try. Keep up the good work! xx
