Well, after taking the weekend "off" I think I am once again at the point of abandoning Jillian. I say a weekend off, but I was mixing cement, so still working out, so to speak.
My problem with the shred this time round is that for some reason I am starting to put on weight and I know I shouldn't be, as I am following SW more closely than in a long while. Usually if I see the scales starting to nudge, a couple of strict days on plan brings my weight back down. I am going to amend my ticker, as I feel a fraud that it currently reads
The last part is now a blatant lie as I have put on several beans
Last time with the shred my arms seemed to go quite skinny, but this time they look bigger, albeit well toned. I look as if I'm building up muscle on my shoulders and top of my arms, which I absolutely don't want. I know I have lost 1cm from my biceps, but they look bigger rather than smaller. With a sleeveless wedding dress to get into in just over 3 weeks, bodybuilder is not the look I'm after lol.
I'm wondering if the weights I'm using are too big - I'm using 1kg (2lb 2 oz) weights, whereas last time I started with 500g (1 lb 1 oz) weights and upgraded to 1kg half way through.
I think I'll take measurements later on today and then decide between continuing with the shred or switching to Davina's cardio box which gave great results in the arm department.
Anyone else think they are getting too "bulky" from the shred?

Target reset 20/08/2009 and not lost a bean since!
(Not put any on either, so it's not all bad)
