30DS Shred Suspended

Hello Lovelies!

I'm so bummed out because today I was suppose to show you results from my 30 day shred level 2. For health reasons I have to suspend it for now, I was on day 5 of level 2.

Last week my chest started hurting, and I thought I was just sore, so I kept working out, but the end of the workout, I felt dizzy, weaker than usual and my heart was beating faster than usual. By the next day, my chest was not only hurting, but my back was hurting too. The pain became unbearable that I couldn't sleep. Even after taking some pills to calm down the pain while I was at work  I couldn't keep working because my chest was hurting more and it scared me because I kept thinking "I'm going to have a heart attack".

I went to the hospital, and after all the studies I had, turns out my esophagus is swollen, which was causing me both chest and back pain. My doctor told me to take it easy, and put me on a diet.

I plan on getting back to the program as soon as I can. My chest pain is gone, but my back is still hurting a bit, but it is much better. I still have 12 days before I leave for Cancun, so, maybe I will rest 2 more days and get back to working out.

30 day Shred Results- Day 10

Hello lovelies!

As you know from my previous post, I have been working out to the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. If you haven't already heard about this program then you might be living under a rock. It's one of the most popular fitness programs.

Let me explain to you what it is. It's a 20 minute workout video, composed of 3 different levels. Each level gets progressively more difficult. You do each level 10 days, taking one day off every 7 days.

Here are my results from level 1. I only lost a pound on, but I'm not concerned about weight, I just want to get rid of the extra fat. I'm sorry the photos are dark, and the beds are so unorganized! I like to workout at night and have a hell of a messy roommate.

Day 1- Day 10

I felt like my stomach is not as bloated as in day one, and I think I'm seeing my abs a bit more defined. Also my arms are a bit slimmer.

Day 1- Day 10

Again, my stomach looks flatter. The extra fat on my back has been reduced too.

Day 1- Day 10

The areas where I see the biggest change is my back, which is also my most problematic area. Less fat and better posture.

I will update you when I finish level 2, in approximate 10 days.
