Jillian has indoctrinated you to an impressive degree.
Well done. I have no excuse for not exercising today, apart from possibly election based dread but I’m not in the right frame of mind.

She haunts my every movement. THAT IS A FALSE MESSAGE OF LETHARGY STEPHANIE.
That is a sound excuse.

My life is a whole false life of lethargy.
I have her app which I quite like when I'm in the mood so I shall do one of her "Take Back 2020" workouts in about, I think.

She has an app?!
I like her shouting at me, I feel like by this point we have the sort of relationship where she'd take it well if I told her to do one. Erin would be hurt and sadly earnest.

She does have a (paying) app, try it! The Jillian Michaels App, I believe it's imaginatively called.

6W6P done today. Jillian would be pleased because my Fitbit was pleased. I didn't do any exercise yesterday and only went for a good walk on Wednesday.

I am also pleased, and impressed.
I didn't do anything yesterday either (except a walk, I got my 10,000 steps in but nothing arduous) but I did my Erin today. It's that fucking hill, it takes me three running and three walking intervals to get up it (a whole minute of each) and I swear it would be less painful to just do it in one, it's the walk bits where my heart rate doesn't come down much because I'm speed marching up a bloody hill that do me in, knowing I have to pick it up again any minute, just slow steady running up it feels easier, you can zone out then. However, it's still pretty pathetic to find it hard.
My calves were upset by the end but not as upset, which seems like progress.

Why don't you just fuck Erin off when you feel like it?
I am pleased for your calves.

THE STRUCTURE OF MY WORLD WOULD CAVE IN.
Oh well done. I didn't do anything yesterday apart from a walk that got cut short because of work as I had a bad day and decided to take it out on myself by refusing to do the exercise that would likely make me feel better.
My Sunday walk was only about 8 miles too because I left late so had to turn round early so I didn't get stuck in the woods after dark. I did do Erin today though and there was improvement (even though it was quite warm, which I usually find harder), plus my right calf was annoyed at the beginning but I managed to run it off rather than worsening it.

Good news on your right calf. I assume the left one was generally more content.
I ran 5K for the first time in 3 weeks and it was very hard. I did walk but only for about 200m (my HR was 199 so it seemed sensible).

I always do this! :texas:
Well done both of you! Bloody hell Tex, your heart rate sounds...fast!
6W6P done again today. I'll be moving to L2 next week so expect a lot more bleating from me.

Good luck with L2. I found it horrible last time I tried.

I can't remember that much of it apart from breathlessness and doing those knee thrust moves.

6W6P and and 8 km walk today. My shoulder has been a bit sore for a few days and I had to put the weight down during the second round of 6W and not use it at all.

6W6P without a weight and sacked off burpees, plank jacks, mountain climbers and side planks so it sounds like I did nothing
but during those times I ran, high kneed, butt kicked and skipped giving a lot of effort and my calorie burn was only 6 calories fewer than Tuesday (the last time I did it with no compromises whatsoever).

That sounds like a massive workout regardless. How is your shoulder?
I have forgotten to update, I did Shred yesterday (D6 I think) but my bloody calf was playing up again. I did the warm up jumping jacks and ouch. So lots of marching and punching instead, although I did do the jumping jacks again in circuit 3 as I love that cardio section and I didn't want to miss out.
Aside from the press ups and bicycle crunches, it did feel a bit lame with no real cardio. Today they were still sore so I power walked around the park instead of running. It's a bit frustrating, but that's what you get for getting old.
Hoping I can do something more exciting tomorrow.

Well done both! I was hoping to renew my acquaintance with Jillian tomorrow but today’s run has all but crippled me. I’ll see if I can walk in the morning before I decide.
