Couldn't Do IT. (Shred Day #13)

I started level #2 today and got about 8 minutes into it and had to stop. The plank positions really hurt my neck. Because of the hump I have on the back of my shoulders/neck, when I'm in the plan position, it feels like bones are rubbing together and is excruciating. I've tried to get into different (modified) plank positions, and it still hurts. So, I went back to level #1 and did that workout instead. I got a good workout and sweated up a storm. My legs hurt bad. I think not doing that workout for 2 days made my legs not as used to that exact workout. I was feeling guilty the whole time, like I failed. But seriously? Who did I let down? Myself! Nobody else cares. Jillian doesn't know me. I don't know if anyone even reads this blog other than me. So who cares. If I'm happy with the workout I got today, then that's all that matters. And I am happy with it. I'm a ton happier with the workout I got today than I have been with the last two workouts on level #2. I'll try level #2 again in a couple days, but I don't think I'm going to have much luck with it until my posture gets better. The more weight I lose though, the better it's getting, so I'll just wait until I lose a little more.

I haven't ever actually read the directions for the 30 Day Shred. I've gotten bit's and pieces of info from different message boards/reviews, but not exact instructions. One person said that you do each level for 10 days making it a total of 30 days. Another person said that you do level #1 until it gets easy and then move on to level #2, then to level #3. I thought the 10-10-10 seemed like a reasonable pace, so that's the way I chose to do it. But since the whole thing is basically a 30 day workout, I'm still going to count today as Day #13, because it is 13 days that I've worked out. I'm not counting the two days that I didn't work out though. Some people on the message boards count the days they skip, but I don't really think that's fair.
