Today was Day 2 of Level 2, and I already feel a lot better about it. The first day was very awkward, but today doing the moves was a bit better, especially the legs. I got the hang of them, so I can now focus on doing more reps. The arms are faster in this level, but I got the hang of those pretty quick too (the weights part really burns far more than Level 1- just a warning!)
The floor abs are still a bit awkward for me but I am getting better at it. There is more involvement of the legs while on the floor and that makes it more difficult. I am already dripping in sweat by the time the floor abs are finished.
As for Dance + Cardio- I did Combo 1 again and today I felt noticeably freer in my movements, I even jumped a little. Not much, but I tried. My goal is to first be able to do the dancing as she does it before adding on the second combination. That means all of the jumping. She doesn't do a whole lot, but it's still a bit beyond my current capabilities.
This does, however, mark a major milestone for me!
Two weeks of consistent exercise, skipping neither the MS work nor the cardio!
Yes, it's a big deal for me.
I am really excited and hopeful about my progress this time because I am actually DOING it. Now, the next step is cleaning up my diet a bit more. With all the great work I am doing on the mat and the dance floor, some extra junk food started creeping back in. Now that I have the working out as a habit, I am going to try harder to keep to the eating plan (somewhat) that comes with Metamorphosis.
Have any of you done the eating plan, and did it change your results?
Have a great weekend!! Tomorrow is a rest day for me.

The eating program is TOUGH!! It really challenges your taste as well as your limits. I am just swearing off dairy and gluten to see if that will make a difference and praying to stick to clean foods!
