Good morning!

Yesterday I didn't get my entire workout done because of errand running I had to do after I got off work and getting ready to leave today for a long weekend.

I did get the floor work of PLB done just not the first part of BBW and didn't get CM #1 either.

Today is BodyMax. I hope to get that in before I leave.
 
Good Morning Jane and all who Follow!

I am thinking Imax2 today. I need a toughie but am feeling like something with a fun factor. That fits the bill for both for me!}(

Yesterday was chest/back/abs from MIS & BM, and a walk.

Jane have fun on your long weekend!!:)

TGIF everyone!!:7
 
Good Morning Fit Chicks!

LowMax for me this morning.

Jane: Have a great weekend!

Becky: Have fun w/IM#2!

Hello to all that follow....have a great day!
 
Daily Check-in

I am just checking in to let everyone know that I am officially withdrawing myself from the 12-week challenge. It has been a total disaster for me. I never imagined that I would ever weigh 200 pounds again, and my weight is holding steady at 216 pounds even after my cycle. I challenged my way up to a size 18 from the size 14 I was wearing when I started this little adventure. I do not regret the experience at all because I have learned a powerful lesson. Restriction leads to rebellion. Anything that causes me to focus on protein (especially animal protein) and restrict carbs will trigger a fit of rebellion with my eating. This type of challenge puts me in that bodybuilding frame of mind and leads me to eat more protein and less carbs (similar to BFFM or BFL). I thrive in high carb heaven. Every time I start focusing on the scale and trying to lose weight through self-effort, I end up gaining more. I am out of control with my eating again. Thankfully, I am not binge eating again, but I am sliding down a slippery slope and know that I will end up in that pit if I do not make some radical changes soon. I got stressed out at work this week and ate a candy bar to calm myself down. It would have been 3-4 candy bars a few years ago, but still. Now that emotional eating has reared its ugly head again, I must confront it head-on before a lapse turns into a relapse and ultimately a total collapse. I am giving up for my sanity and my health. I decided not to order BFFM, but I found something else to order with that money that I believe will be perfect for me. I plan to keep checking in just to be a cheerleader for everyone. If we do a generic check-in after the challenge is over, I will be a part of that. Getting to know all the challengers has been my delight in this experience. I am glad I have still this check-in no matter what I do.

Susan, I am praying for you and your furry friend. I am so sorry.

Blessings,
Heather B.

RE: Daily Check-in

Hi fit ladies

Jane have a great weekend

Becky - Imax2 - you are right definetely fun factor and good workout

Tammy - Love LM. I haven't been posting that much so haven't heard how was the graduation etc? Your pics sure are great! Party looks great too! My son is looking at Union (stretch) and HWS in NY. NY has so many great schools. MA does too.

Heather - sounds like you are doing the right things. Just like you are cheerleader for us we will be for you :) My DD is on WW - core program. It's healthy eating at its finest. Most people do the points version anyhow just wanted tell you it works for her.

Today is S&H C/B or B/T.
I've done 3 KB type tapes and S&H rotation.
I may shift up the cardio next week (2nd week of KB) Imax2 and LM sound wonderful!
 
RE: Daily Check-in

Heather -

I don't recall if you'd tried Weight Watchers. You may find it less restrictive and easier to stick to - it's more of a "real world" plan. Whatever plan you select, it should be one you can stay with and maintain with after you've reached your weight goal.

RE: Daily Check-in

Hey everyone!

Happy Friday!!!

Tammy - Thanks for the birthday wishes for my DS, he is one happy nine year old. Don't you just love the joy of being a child?

Heather - We are all here for you. Hang in there, my prayers are with you, be strong.

Today was Karen Voight's GWW. Blast from the past! Challenging also, I had to go to 3 lb weights on the upper body portion, the 5 lbs were killing me!

Have a great and safe Holiday weekend!
 
RE: Daily Check-in

Hello ladies,

Well ashamed to say I didn't get in two days of my workouts. I have been doing so much shopping for vacation and runnning around that I am exhausted by the end of the day. I feel so guilty when I don't do anything. But I am bound and determined to get something as soon as I finish this. I think it is also TTOM. That draws my energy down also. Well lets say pre-TTOM.

Today is CTX kickbox (which I am going to do right now!)

I will not plan no further than that right now.

Heather-Hang in there, we are here for you!


Everyone have a good day!

Will check in later

RE: Daily Check-in

Hi gals! I have returned from my NY business trip. My homecoming gift to myself was doing IMAX 3! My new HRM arrived while I was away (F11) and I used it this AM. I burned 350 cal which is more like what it should be. I haven't figured out all the bells and whistles, but I will.

Jane, where are you going?

Heather - another vote here for WW points plan. I think it is very real life.

Ugh, I couldn't get up this morning. I was so tired!! So, I'm leaving work around 4:30 and will head outside for a run or to the gym if it is raining. I hate working out after work, but there was no way I was getting up this morning.

Hope everyone has a great day.

My daughter is on the WW points plan......she had a baby 5 months ago and has lost all her weight now and is back in prepregnancy clothes now!
And her big thing is she says it's not at all hard and she can pretty much eat anything.
Just my 2 cents.;-)
 
Just finished CTXkickbox and feel great! Need to eat some bkf. though. Will add some more on to my workout after cleanmax.

Phyllis-Welcome back! Imax 3 is a treat?:p

Jane-Maybe I've missed something or memory sucks, but where are you going?

Will let you know later what else I will do.

BodyMax is finished and that thing is a BEAST!! I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to BM#2 or not!!:p

We are going to a horse show. DH is showing this weekend. I leave just after lunchtime when DD is finished with her day teaching summer school, she gets out at 12. DH has already left early this morning.

I have to cut the grass now, it will be out of control if we let it go until Monday. I'm riding though, no way I'm pushing for two hours (don't have time anyway) after BodyMax!!

Heather - hang in there. I'm not on WW now but I started with it over three years when I lost all my weight. I did the points system. It is an excellent plan.
 
Morning everyone -

Today was Rhythmic Step for me. I thought about an Imax, but I needed something a little easier - I've been feeling worn out lately, with little aches and pains acting up. I'm thinking it may be about time for several rest days in a row. I have a trip to Canada coming up in a couple of weeks, that might be the perfect time.

Heather - Another supporter of the WW plan here. What's great about it is you eat what YOU want to eat. It teaches you about portion sizes, making healthier choices and gives you tips on how to control that emotional eating that got me to my highest weight ever. For me, it makes more sense than any other eating plan/diet out there. FYI - I lost 48 lbs on WW in 9 months, I've maintained it for the past four months with no problems. If anything, it's gotten easier - even despite my chocolate addiction.
 
Heather, hang in there your timing just might not be right. Stress can also play a factor with your weight so don't give up, please!!

I did Taebo's Fat Blasting Cardio today with ankle weights and weighted gloves. I too am struggling with the weight thing but my cycle is due and I am sooo bloated I actually bought Aquaban to try to reduce the bloating. It is helping some and I have never resorted to water pills before.sigh.

I also am very gasy, bloated and have indigestion really bad, no matter what I eat I have to burp constantly it seems. My question today is "to eat or not to eat" that is the question.

Tums don't help and I even took Pepto Bismol last night to try and help and it didn't do much either.

I am a sad case today,LOL!!

Have a great day!!

Hopefully all this is only PMS related!:+ :7

Hey everyone,
My sweet little guinea pig Bela is doing so much better. I am starting to think she is going to make it. I tell you I did not realise how I love that little pig until he got sick. Thank you for all of the kind words.

I did workout yesterday. I ran 5 miles just to relieve some stress and today I will run 4 miles and do some upper body.

Heather, I hope you do stay with us because you really bring a lot of joy and motivation to this group. Please hang in there.

Welcome back Wendy.

Have a great day to everyone!

Susan
 
Hello ladies!

This morning I did High Step Challenge. I didn't feel like I got enough cardio though. Unfortunately, I can't do more cardio today since I am flying to Ohio tonight after work.

I'll run tomorrow though.

Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.

-Becky
 
Welcome Back Wendy!

I know you had a great time on you cruise and your pictures with your dresses on are just beautiful. You stayed pretty active on your trip. I'm hoping that I can walk or jogg on the beach every morning and maybe take a few workouts with me.

Talk to you later!

Hey everyone. Here I am, late again. I'm at the library trying to find something to read over the long weekend. It will be especially long, since I have to work Sat thru Tues. I hope you all have wonderful vacation or workout plans for the holiday. Yesterday I had to do the grocery shopping and then MIL and DD's boyfriend came to dinner, so I never did get around to my GS workout. I did GS Back and Bicep this morning, along with the 1st half of IMAX 2. Tomarrow I'll try to fit in GS Shoulders and Powerstrike 1. Until then ladies...
