I have fat on my hips that refuses to go away. It’s that pooch below the belly button that nags me and frustrates me. So, like the arms, I know there’s fat there but I’m not very worried about the numbers. I know I have back fat and I’m happy to get rid of it but I’m pretty sure the major part of those inches comes from my boobs and my rib cage. There isn’t much that can change that short of surgery. My arms and calves may be losing fat but they’re gaining muscle and I can see that definition change so I’m not worried about those numbers or how they change.Īs for my bust…I’m not really sure what to think of my bust numbers so I don’t. I merely put them up here because those measurements are used. I’m not really paying much attention to my arms, calves or bust. The calves were probably due to measuring in different spots though as it took me awhile to figure out where the largest part of my calf was and then consistently find it again after. Since the beginning of the program I’ve lost a total of 5.75in all over and. It turns out Anita’s version of many moves requires more core work than Natalie’s so my core and arms did not get the same semi-holiday that my legs enjoyed. To compensate I was very careful to watch my form and increased my weights on the rows and hammer curls. It wasn’t easy but neither did I feel like I was going to die either. I followed Anita instead of Natalie though so my legs weren’t pushed as hard as I normally would’ve done. My version of taking it easy means that I iced the leg (both actually as the other leg had the same pain going on just on a different level), took my rest day, and then continued on with the last two days of the program. But I’ve been “taking it easy” since realizing the burn wasn’t the same as the “feel the burn” kind of pain and it was getting worse. What exactly I did to it, I don’t know as I never went to a doctor. In other words, the muscle on the inner thigh above my knee. The entire thing proved to be too much for, I’m guessing because that’s where the pain is centered, my vastus medialis. Oh thank goodness! I’m finished with level 2 of Jillian Michaels’ 30-Day Shred! And I’m injured. When did I lose control? Fitness is a lifelong uphill struggle.ĭo you ever revisit old workout programs? Check them out if you have time.Īs much as I don’t want to admit to them, here are my starting stats: If you’re interested in other Jillian Michaels’ workouts, BeFit on Youtube has a good variety. Now I just need to push myself to stick with it. I’ll be using this calendar to help keep me on target. I’ll just power through every day except maybe Sunday. I’d stick with the same weekly routine but I got super impatient with how long it was taking. A deep burn in my thigh that reminds me not to overdo the static lunges. I’ve started over and already I can feel that old injury. I chose another route Jillian Michaels suggested – 2 days of the DS DVD, 1 day of cardio, 2 days of the DS DVD, 1 day of cardio, REST, repeat. Most people power through the workouts in the 30 days it advertises. That was the farthest I had ever made it in that program and it took over a month to get there because I was following a slightly different regime than most other people do. I wasn’t able to finish Jillian Michaels’ 30-Day Shred last time because I got injured and thought it prudent to stop after pushing through to the end of Level 2.
