I can and I will.

On Saturday I did five hours of walking... well five hours of shopping (spending my Christmas money and shopping with my mum) and I did 11 minutes of the thirty day shred level one. I couldn't do the whole workout because I already ached so, so much from walking. On Sunday I did the whole level one workout (just under half an hour) and dude, let me tell you, that was jolly hard work! I feel good though and it feels SO good to be back to working out.
When the weather isn't so wet, I plan on starting jogging again. I live in the countryside and everywhere is muddy, I can't run down the little lane because the ground is to uneven and I don't have the best co ordination as it is! I don't have enough confidence to run along the road (where people drive. And people I know are bound to see me and to be honest, nobody wants to see me jogging with my flab, haha).
I am also eating healthy and trying to do low carbs, I am weaning myself onto low carbs slowly as last time I did low carbs (and lost 6lbs in ten days!) it made me feel rather poorly. So this time I am taking it slow and doing it the right way. I've realised that it doesn't matter how slow I do go, just as long as I don't stop.
If anyone has any weight loss tips, please do let me know in the comments!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you are brave doing the 30 day shred! Good luck to you! Exercise and sensible eating are the best ways to lose weight, I am giving up alcohol for Jan, as that's the thing that makes me gain weight the most! Megan x
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave doing the 30 day shred!! Best of luck. I'm trying to lose weight this year too - lots of walking and healthy eating! x #twinklytuesday
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to do the 30 day shred but haven't yet. I've heard it's pretty hard going but then if it works it's worth it! Look forward to hearing how you get on. Thanks for joining #memyselfandi
ReplyDeleteI've tried the 30 day shred, it does get good results, but sometimes it becomes too repetitive I find!
ReplyDeleteI am joining in with losing weight this year! :)

Got no tips, but wish you every success.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that the thirty day shred is so hard! Bless you sounds like you did really well though. Don't know if I would actually cope!! Carbs are really good for you, mainly the good ones, like quinoa, buckwheat etc. Look at Deliciously Ella's book, she has some great recipes and it is all about nutrition and not letting your body go without, which I love. Her meals are so simple and you can add whatever you like to the staple ingredients. I have recently started changing my lifestyle and habits and I am loving it so far. Good luck x
ReplyDeleteThe 30 day shred is a great workout and is very effective. After having my babies I was able to lose 16 lbs from doing the full program. There are several other great workouts by Jillian as well like Ripped in 30. Fitness Blender on Youtube and Pop Sugar Fitness on Youtube are both favorites of mine. They offer tons of great workouts for any schedule and I've definitely saw great results with both. Best of luck with your goals, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your weight loss journey, I have to restart my T-25 which is intensive exercise for 25 minutes and it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIve never done the 30 day shred but most people that I know who have, always say the first 5 days are the killer x
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you - I have never heard of the 30 day shred. I hope to exercise more and eat better this year. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteI've never done the 30 day shred but heard amazing things about it. I'm not quite ready for it so i'm aiming to go to the gym 3 times a week and do some power walking on the treadmill and some weights to break me in slowly

ReplyDeleteIve not come across the 30 day shred but have made a mental note as want to loose the baby weight a lot quicker this time round. We live in the country too and is not good running down uneven lanes in the wet. Good luck with it I am sure you will reach your goals x
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my eating habits pretty much the same because it's the exercise I need. I just go for walks. That's it really. I'm not into running.
ReplyDeleteMy goal too is to trim down. I love the 30 day shred its hard going but loads of fun x good luck xx
