My 30 Day Shred - Day 19
Hi All,
So I am now technically on day 20 however, I am actually on day 19... Unfortunately on Friday my day went pear shaped and after a meeting was delayed by 2 hours I didn't have enough time from when I left work and got home to do my exercises before meeting my cousin in the City (London). I also could not delay my cousin since she is over from the US and her phone isn't on roaming so I had no way of contacting her to delay her and to be honest I haven't seen her in ages and didn't want to.... subsequently I didn't feel it was best to partake in exercise when we arrived home at 2:30am in the morning on Saturday so I missed a day.
Rather than make it up on Sat by doing 2 sets I was quite pleased with myself for doing one and the same on Sun since it is so cold and snowy. So there you have it, I am continuing and haven't beat myself up about it, I am just a day behind.
On a slightly disappointing note, my calves have definitely toned up, so much so that I am struggling to zip up my boots..... I may need to incorporate some pilates or callinetics into the programme. I still have only lost a pound but strength wise I feel amazing.
I am very close to being convinced to buy the latest craze in fitness wear which promises the world... Hotpants... have you heard of them? Apparently you can lose weight 4 x faster with hotpants: http://zaggora.com/how-it-works Have a look at the homepage as with all their testimonials it is pretty convincing and I'm thinking that this is the answer to speed up my inch loss.... I think I may buy the flares, I'm not sure why they are called flares as they are the opposite but this may help my calf problem.
I will try and measure myself next week, only 11 days left!
If you have any fitness stories or experience with the 'Hotpants' above, please send me a message on Facebook.

My 30 Day Shred - Day 10
Hello All,
It is Day 10 and I am very excited as I get to start the 2nd 10 day routine tomorrow. As I had a false start at this programme and ended up doing 5 days extra, 15 days on the same exercise routine is quite boring!
I was a little disappointed as I wanted to give it my best shot today but my back and knees hurt a bit and I just didn't feel like doing my best however, Weds and Thurs I did follow the hardcore lady at the back and I feel sooo much stronger. I can do 17 proper press ups in the time they give you when I first started it was 4.....
You probably want me to weigh myself and give you a measurement update but I'm thinking I should wait until half way through. To be honest I am very proud of myself for sticking to the programme and excited about completing it and moving onto the rip60 which I will only allow myself to buy once I have completed this for at least 20 days!
On another note, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac good dates for starting a diet are Jan 31st and then not again until Feb 22nd or 27th so it's not too late to restart your new year's resolution! I'm not sure if the lunar cycle is an influence but many people have have followed it for year and it's actually a very interesting site with health and gardening tips: http://www.almanac.com/bestdays/timetable
Until next week, fitness friends.

Round 2 of the 30 day shred
Hi,
So I started again on Weds and it has been going well. Yesterday my knee started to hurt so I couldn't quite lunge properly but I'm trying to keep going! Since feeling better I have been trying to catch up with life so Thurs night I ended up doing the DVD at 9:30 at night. I'm really excited about what is around the corner with this fitness DVD and I am already looking at taking it a step further and maybe starting the p90x or rip60 after. I heard about the rip60 after speaking to a friend in the US. I looked it up and you can buy it here in the UK and Jillian Michaels also is in some of the fitness DVDs that come with it. However, I have a friend doing the p90x programme and in 3 weeks she has lost 1 stone and 13 inches! Let me know your fitness success stories or if you have tried any of the programmes.
