Well I survived the first seven days of The 30 Day Shred. I went ahead and cheated yesterday and bumped myself up to level 2 early. Yeah, that was a big fat mistake. I'll be sticking with level 1 for my next 3 days before I am forced into awful level 2. Here's where I'm at so far...
Weight: + 1 lb. I'm trying not to be disappointed by this but it's still upsetting to work hard and not see results. My husband keeps reminding me that muscle weighs more than fat but I was still hoping for a lower number.
Waist: No change. Also frustrating.
Hips: - 1 cm. (Yep, I'm measuring in cm's because my measuring tape is cm only) So at least that's some progress.
Thigh: +4cm!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!! I'm not sure if I didn't measure it in exactly the same spot {though I thought I did} but it's frustrating to go up so much! I can feel my thighs are getting stronger though.
Overall: Overall, I think the theme of the first week is frustration. I was hoping for more results by now. But I'll just keep trucking and see what happens.

Don't lose hope! Keep up the good work!!! I'm taking this year to attempt getting back to a healthier me. Although I love it when the scale tells me I've lost a pound or two, I don't leave it up to the scale to "measure" my success... When I get frustrated that my numbers I want to see aren't there I remind myself of the way I feel and what I am striving for. We'd all love to be that "perfect" size but what I'm doing it for is to keep up with my kids. I want to be able to play with them, run, jump, play!
