So I tried to get out here to post yesterday morning after I finished, but weebly wouldn't let me in, so here goes for two days. I've had a chance to read about all the girls out here. Now I'm going to start catching up on your blogs!
We have not had any hand weights at home, so I've been using soup cans. FI brought home "hand weights" for me on Monday...they were 8 lbs. Um...no, I can't do the Shred with those! So I asked him to go get another set of 5 lbs. I've been doing the Shred for awhile now (off and on since November), and have never done anything but level 1. I was thinking I might go to level 2 next week.
DAY 3 (Feb 11)
Then comes day 3 (Thu, Feb 11) of my Shred...using the 5 lb weights. OMG! It was like I'd never done a single day of it. I couldn't get through much of anything with the 5 lbs, so I kept the soup cans close by so I could substitute those. FI offered to go buy 2- or 3-lb weights. I said NO! I am going to get through this entire workout with 5 lbs...it's only 5 lbs for cripes sakes!!
DAY 4 (Feb 12)
I was really feeling the effects of my day 3 workout last night when I went to bed and again as I got up this morning. Today my goal was to do at least two more reps with the 5 lb weights on each strength move. I was able to get through that but literally feel like I'm gonna puke! I am sitting here and all of my limbs feel like wet noodles. I despise this 20 minutes of every day!
But again yesterday I got compliments on looking good and I'm officially down 22 lbs as of yesterday (since Aug 1, 2009), so I am pleased with the progress so far.
I'm so glad for all of my May 2010 Knotties who are out here suffering with me!!
