I did Level 2 last night around 9pm, and then got up early to do it this morning (5:50am) because today and tonight will be busy. But I think I'm ready for Level 3!
Last night I did most of the strength exercises, so this morning I did a lot of them without weights. I'm ready to shake things up, so tomorrow or this weekend I'll try Level 3. I'm kind of nervous.
I looked at myself in the mirror while getting ready this morning, and I'm definitley not shredded. My husband kind of laughed when I told him I expected more. "You can't expect to be shredded in 30 days honey." Well, Jillian said I would! He then said "You did say you lost 1/2 a pound!" I didn't have the heart to tell him I had gained it back.
I do see more definition in my arms, perhaps a little in my abs, but that's about it. I'm able to do 20 girl pushups, without a problem, so I know I've got more muscle, I just can't see it. And the rest of my body looks the same. Kind of disappointing. I know you are all thinking "But muscle weighs more than fat, so you lost fat and gained muscle! I'm sure you look a ton better!" Really, I don't. I still had to jump into the jeans I wore yesterday (seriously, I was in my bedroom jumping to get them pulled up). They certainly weren't loose and they almost became shredded!
But, how wonderful it is, that you have been able to do the first 2 steps, with ease,now...wasn't too easy to begin with, right? But, now you are on step 3..what an accomplishment!
