BFL for Mon Mar 17th 2008

:) :) :) Hey, Melissa! I think the cost of shipping would out-weigh the cost of just re-stocking yourself! LOL I counted them up....I have 104 protein pancakes! LOL That's 26 servings! Should last a while! Oh! And I AM NOT eating any for lunch! I'm on a tuna kick and I'm having tuna in a low carb wrap with steamed veggies instead!

See ya gals!

Hi again!
Belinda – Great workout! Let me know if you try any of the other recipes in the Clean Eating magazine and if they’re good!

Sherry – Great workout too!

Amelia – I hope your ankle was well enough for your powerwalk.

Carolyn – I’m so happy to hear the tornados missed you! What week of the challenge are you in now? I think a stumble is fine, just dust off and get going strong!

Rhonda – I hope you’re spirits are lifting. Sometimes I make a deal with myself and say “just 10 minutes” and once I get going, I’m fine. Does using the bands for P90X aggravate your tendons, too?

Stephanie – WooHoo on the pound loss and being almost to goal….that’s awesome!

Melissa – I think the next time I make the Clean Eating Lasagna, I’m going to use crushed Italian tomatoes instead of the whole tomatoes. It was missing a little “zing” or something. I just ate the curry chicken fruit salad and it was GOOD! But I love curry. The soup smelled wonderful yesterday with the bay leaf and pepper, I’m going to try that for lunch tomorrow. Oh, and I made it with 2 chicken breasts instead of the one suggested because it didn’t seem like enough protein. And congratulations on the skinny pants….YAY!!!

Gayle – GREAT run yesterday! I’m so happy to hear that your son’s enjoyed it too. I’m thinking of incorporating some P90X in the next round of BFL as well. I’m thinking I’ll do “halfsies”….like half or the first round in C/S/T and half of Back & Biceps for upperbody and then a BFL lower body workout. What do you think?

Heidi – It’s tough to make two different meals all the time. My family is very picky and used to the same meals so they fight change, lol! I was just talking to my daughter on the phone and she said she actually missed some of my “weird” food….ha,ha!

Hey, Kathy! I'm actually sitting here at my PC TRYING hard to write out this week's rotation. First, I have to move Sunday's long run to Saturday because of Easter and I don't know all who will be around to watch my kids. Second, today is a Rest day, and that already throws me a day 'behind', so to speak. As for P90X....'halfsies' is EXACTLY what I'm doing. I'm sticking with BFL or Cathe (PLB) for LB, but using P90X for UB. Here's what I've got so far, but this is tentative. I've been getting a lot of input from Jess (aka Jess_jugs on these boards) and I'm waiting to hear if she thinks back-to-back UB is okay with these X workouts:

Monday: rest (first one in 8 days)
Tuesday: iTread 13 Sprints, Leaner Legs + Core
Wednesday: P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris + short run (3-4 miles using an iTread)
Thurdsay: iTread 9 (for mileage) + Core
Friday: P90X Back & Biceps + short run
Saturday: Long run of 10 miles
Sunday: Leaner Legs

couple of side notes: this week is SUPPOSED to be a double LB week, but with today's rest day and moving the long run to Saturday, I'm short on time. But based on how I felt today after yesterday's long run, I think doing LL on Sunday after Sat's 10 should be just fine.

Kathy, take a look at it and I'd be glad to hear any input.

Hi Kathy,

My daughter said the samething when she was living away from home at college! Too funny! When she's here it is a different story however, she'll go for my DH's Rum Raisin ice cream first. :+ Silly girl!

Back from work and waiting for DS to get ready so I can drop him off at work. I have to then pick up other DS from school and then get in my exercise. DD and I will be going to the mall this evening for new bedding and towels. They have these on sale finally. I am going to also get myself a NEW pair of jeans. I am down to just 2 pairs now that I wore out my others working on the house! Had to get rid of the others....holes in the knees and REAR!!!! ;-) Talk about thread bare!

Have a great afternoon! BBL Heidi

Ohhh Kathy one of my friends has some runnervals that she is willing to let me use!!!! Which would you recommend I try out first? I wouldn't consider myself a beginner and my speeds are about where you are. My first 5K was 27:09 back in the day....before the shin break.
 
Kathy-


This is week 12 for me. I'm sure not where I invisioned myself to be at this point. I originally lost 9 pounds and a few inches. The inches are creeping back faster than the weight. I feel like jello again. I have been off track for maybe 2 weeks now. I think I know what my problem is. It's STRESS!!! My DH is closing his business after 20 years(no job lined up yet), all the graduation stuff coming for my DS, 4 birthdays all within 8 weeks of each other(my DH and all 3 children), our anniversary, spring break, AAAHHHHH! The list goes on and on.

I have been stress eating for sure. I also need to get the EFL cookbook to keep me motivated. I had it from our library but had to turn it in. I need to just buy the darn thing.

I actually threw away the GS cookies and some other crapo we had hanging around. I did IMAX2 in its entirety this morning and I actually feel great. Now if I can make it thru the mid-afternoon slump.

Onward and upward!!

Carolyn

I wil get thru this and I plan on starting all over again. This time I know what to do and what expect of myself.
 
Hi Carolyn,

Wow...that is a lot going on right now! You can do it...take a deep breath and know that this too will pass. I have to remind myself of that every so often when days are just too hectic and all I want to do is crawl back into bed. Open the door and get outside if you can for a walk for it does the mind and body good. :)

A great job this morning getting in IMAX 2!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to pop in and say "hi" but won't write much because I'm really tired. I don't know why--some days I'm just really run down.

I went to physical therapy and had a good lower body workout there--I cranked up the weights on the weight machines I used so I felt like I was making progress. I still need to do abs, but waiting a little longer after my most recent meal to do them.

Hope to BBL if I get a second wind.

Gayle – Your plan looks great! I have my most brutal month of marathon training coming up (long runs of 18, 20, 7, then peaking at 22 miles). If I survive this month, I’m home free….lol. I still have one more week of BFL workouts to finish out my first challenge. Next week I’ll incorporate P90X. Let me know what Jess suggests, okay? Here’s my plan for the next two weeks.

This week:
Mon: BFL LB/Run 3 miles/Abs
Tues: BFL UB/Spin/Abs
Wed: Run 8 miles (speed intervals)
Thurs: BFL LB/Run 3 miles/Abs
Fri: Rest
Sat: Run 18 miles (Long Run)
Sun: Bike ride 25 miles (or 1 hr. 45 minutes spinning if rain)

Next week:
Mon: P90X Upper (half of CST and B&B)/Run 3 miles/Abs
Tues: BFL LB/Spin/Abs
Wed: Run 7 miles (tempo)
Thurs: P90X Upper (half of CST and B&B)/Run 3 miles/Abs
Fri: Rest
Sat: Run 20 miles (Long Run)
Sun: Bike ride 10 miles (or an hour of spinning if rain)

******
Heidi – LOL, on your daughter….they don’t know they miss it until they don’t have it! The three Runervals I hung on to are my favorites so far. They’re –

1.0 Easy Intervals (nice slower pace interval workout with small hills)
5.0 10k Strength Builder (great tempo run with 5 cycles of intervals)
6.0 Time Saver/Cruise & Tempo Training (one warmup but three variations of tempo runs all about 30 minutes long)

HTH, let me know what you think of them, okay?

******
Carolyn – I say finish out this week and then start a clean challenge next week! I hear you on stress, it’s a killer and then throw in lots of family events and it’s tough! Hang in there, we’re going to cross the finish line together on Sunday, okay? ;)

Lainie – Glad to hear that PT is going well! I get like that….tired and blah some days. I hope you’re feeling better tomorrow.

Hi girls,

I went to the PX (on base) and they did had a squat rack! It is a Gold Gym, but it doesn't look like the one in the OF! It is also rounded and not square looking! It looks really huge! What brand of squat rack to you have??? Oh, the bench is conected!

Belinda
 
Hey Ladies!
I have been absent for what 8 weeks now, but I have kept tabs on you guys. You are all doing awesome! I can't believe its been 12 weeks already. I have kept working out hard as closely to bfl using the pyramids etc. My eating has not been the best..that is where I need the work. I have not lost any weight at all...oh well...in fact I think a gained 1.
This move to Ark has really depressed me somewhat, so I have done a little self medicating with food. Things are looking up though. I am still loving school, and the nicer weather always makes me feel good.
We have Spring Break next week, and we're going to Disney World. We'll be gone 10 days. I have never gone that long without working out and that stresses me out some. But, Im trying not to fret and going to try and enjoy the break. 10 days wont make or break me I know that.
I hope you guys are up for another challenge. When I get back from vacation I plan to go full force into getting these 8 pounds off for good and get a hold of my eating.
Anyway,just wanted to say HEY and ya'll ROCK.
Susan

OH! I just ahve to share that I made fresh asparagus for the very FIRST time tonight and LOVED IT! OH MY SO YUMMO! I also made a batch of turkey meatloaf muffins (Kathy's original meatloaf muffins recipe, but made with ground turkey breast instead). Add that to the fresh crisp YUMMY asparagus and it was DELISH! Headed out to the grocery store for a few clean eats (and a treat or 2 for tomorrow's Free Day). I'm planning on making the Chili Rellenos Casserole from EFL tomorrow!
