Jolie - Yep, was wearing size 8 and sometimes 10. Now i'm down to size 4 and sometimes 2. I'm not even sure how that weight came on. I just know I got tired of tight pants and did something about it. You certainly can do it too!

Today it is extremely windy and hot so I didn't do my walk I was scheduled to do. 88 degrees at 9am! Instead I did Back and some Legs with Abs. I feel good today after a few stressful days, I slept close to 10 hours last night. 
It is amazing what a good nights sleep can do for you and your strength!
Back
BB Rows- 65 pounds x 8 reps, x 8, x 8, x 8.
1 Arm Rows- 35 pounds x 8 reps, x 8, x 8, x8.
Wide Grip Pull downs- 60 pounds x 10 reps, x 10, x 10, x 10.
1 Arm Rear Delt Flys on the ball- 10 pounds x 10 reps, x 10, x 10, x 10.
Legs
Leg Extentions- 60 pounds x 15 reps, x 12, x 12, x12.
Leg Curls- 20 pounds x 15 reps, x 12, x 12, x 12
Squats DB- 20 pound DB x 12 reps, x 12, x 12, x 12.
ABS- Icy Core # 1
Workout was 55 minutes and I burned 272 calories.
Debbie, I signed up online with Myfitnesspal and will use that daily. I can see now that I was eating too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right foods. This is a great way to track food and it is super easy. Thanks for the suggestion. (I am going to be living on salads with chicken and veggies for the next week and see what happens. Also, I like to chop up green apples and put them on my salads as well. )
I hope you all have a nice weekend!

I previewed a couple of Cathe's newer live workouts yesterday and chose, Total Body Bands and Barbell, 73 minutes and adding STS Extended Stretch. Cathe does pretty short stretches at the end of the live workouts. Total time was 87 minutes and calories burned 343. This is divided up by body parts with two segments for lower body. It sort of reminds me of Power hour but has the use of the tubing and firewalkers in there too.
Lots of reps. . I previewed Thursday's ready to S.W.E.A.T but I just didn't think that I was ready for so much high impact jumping. I could modify some of it though.
Total Body Bands and Barbell- Step with 3 risers The barbell looks like my Les Mills barbell so I am going by that on what I think Cathe's weight is when she has the two sets of plates. Cathe uses green tubing and I have no idea what the strength is. I used B-lines pink that is 15# resistance
w/u 6:44
Legs
squats 35# bar
Plie squats 35# barbell
Deadlift 35# barbell
Back
dead row 35# barbell
Pullover 25# barbell
firewalker loop pulses with band around hands moving arms midline, low, overhead
tubing T pulls

lying triceps extension and triceps press 25#
triceps dips
kickbacks with tubing and straight arm push back repeat both twice
@ 31 minutes Chest
Bench press 35#
push ups
@ 36 minutes biceps
medium plate 15# barbell with tubing , then just the barbell, then just the tubing but holding both handles in one hand and doing single arm curls.
@42 minutes legs
lunges with the large plates 10# each
barbell 15# single leg deadlift with front raise
firewalkers with loop and walking forward and back along with the laterals, loop on foot press backs then hamstring curls
@53 minutes shoulders
band pulls, lateral raise
15# barbell upright row to overhead press, then clean and press
@62 min Core
Mat and firewalker loop
@69 minutes stretch
Jolie, I love My Fitness Pal. I have been using it for years. I have an app I purchased for 10 dollars but I like MFP better. The other had some cool features and little pictures of food but it did not have the extensive database that MFP has. Sometimes I can find particular recipes from Beach Body or some of my more popular Paleo cookbooks.
Debbie, nice work on all of the weight loss. I remember you saying that you were losing weight but I didn't know how much.

Jolie, yes, I am just paying by the month because if I decide I want to do a rotation using dvd's I don't want to waste 9.95 a month on something I am not using. I like them, there is a lot of variety. If you go to the live on demand portion of the forums there is a list of all of the workouts that you can get and it has a brief description of each workout, time, and equipment needed. I think there is somewhere around 96 different workout there. Lots of total body or upper or lower. No individual body parts that I know of other than lower and maybe abs added to something.

Meals yesterday were pretty much the same. Yesterday I had the bad ass bowl on greens with awesome sauce for lunch and dinner was protein powder with almond butter, full fat coconut milk, mixed thick and fresh raspberries incorporated, topped with shredded unsweetened coconut. A snack of Rebel Maca Mocha to drink.
Today
Usual morning foods, lunch stew meat( I made my husband stew and took some meat out before I added the potatoes, broccoli with almond dressing
snack red grapes
dinner bad ass bowl but just on super greens, no cauliflower rice
Snack grass fed whey, almond butter, a bit of honey, coconut flakes unsweetened and some chopped almonds
Too much almond butter and almonds. I need to watch that. There is a higher ratio with Omega 6 being pretty high.

Todays workout was a 5.3 mile walk. I walked a lot slower today because it is still windy and walking into the headwind was tough. Calories burned 632, total time was 1 hour and 30 minutes. Average heart rate was 117.
I love working out on Sunday's. I don't have to rush and I can really enjoy what I'm doing. All week it is go, go, go!!!

This starts week 3 of this rotation. Not really getting into it, it's mostly 8-10 reps. I don't get it. I'm in the 2nd phase and nothing has changed. Weird. Today was Chest & Tri's. Had a great workout. I pushed hard with this one.
This is what I did:
GS Chest & Tri's warmup.
3 sets/9 reps each with 1 minute rest between each set:
Pushups: 3 set/12 reps (warmup)
Barbell Bench Press: 80#
Dumbbell Press: 30's
High Incline Flyes: 25's
Dumbbell Extensions: 30#
Lying Dumbbell Extensions: 15's
Weighted Dips: 45#
Walked on my treadmill for 1 mile.
Diane Sue - So I made the Bad Ass Bowl for my lunch today, can't wait to try it. I forgot to soak my almonds for 24 hours so I can't make the awesome sauce until tonight. I bought Coconut Aminos and Nutritional Yeast at the Vitamin Shoppe. I had no idea what either of these were. LOL!!
Jolie - Nice job with your workout sand I'm glad to hear you signed up for Myfitnesspal. It will help you for sure.
Roselyn - Hope you had a great weekend!

Debbie, that is from the Muscle and Fitness rotation? I think someday I will try the awesome sauce with cashews. Although I had noticed cashews were not allowed in a Paleo sugar detox plan. I had some awesome sauce on my omelet for lunch yesterday and it was really good. Before we moved back to Oklahoma City I had a small nutrition center to shop at. They did not carry coconut aminos so I had to wait and shop when I visited family. The woman checked it out and stocked it for me. She said she had a lot of people that were on glutinous free diets so was sure it would be a good product to have. It is generally used in recipes to replace soy sauce and teriyaki sauce. The nutritional yeast is used in a lot of diets to give things a bit of a cheese flavor without the dairy and it has good nutritional value. I went to Homeland the other day and they had some but, it was a huge container and way overpriced so I just omitted it this time. Sprouts carries it for a lot less so I will add it to my list for when I shop there again.

Happy Monday! Today is a rest day for me. It has been so hot and windy I just don't have any energy. Last night it didn't cool down much and It was hard to sleep. (Only used a sheet on my bed and I was hot.) Yesterday hit 95 degrees and today will be 91 degrees! This is hot for this time of the year. I went shopping at Newport Beach yesterday to get away from the heat and it was 85 degrees there. I guess I'm just not used to it yet. I went to the fitness store Athleta and bought the cutest workout pants! Multi color and a really cute pattern. They are compression tights so they really make the butt look good. Also, I purchased some Nike running shoes just to use for walking around. My workout shoes are bulky and ugly so I wanted something cute to wear with shorts ect.
PS. I over ate yesterday but it was all good clean food. I was starving so I just ate.
Diane Sue, I am thinking of trying Cathe on Demand for a month.
Have a great day!

Today I did live Circuit S-w-e-a-t doing some modifications, 48 minutes, 288 calories. HR avg114/max 146. I thought I wanted more weight work and did Ice Total Body Compound 43 minutes, 244 calories. At the end I did a Fitness Blender yoga infused stretch for 13 minutes. I think that I am going to do something low impact tomorrow and one day this week a lower body and later in the week maybe the stability ball upper live workout. I am working my way through these but there are some I think that I will pass on. I hit 50 of them that I have done in 7 weeks. Total time for the live workouts was 92 minutes and calories burned 532.
Circuit S-w-e-a-t breakdown Cathe uses two risers with the step but suggests you can use a height that you are comfortable with. I did notice several had theirs at 1 riser on each end which is where I went. weights are generally 10, 12,15 and she does pick up 8 and 5 # once in awhile and on one move she said maybe even 3#

Jolie, Newport Beach has some nice malls for shopping I have not been to California in years. My husband still has two sisters that live out there and I have an Aunt out there but in the country. Some cousins and nieces and nephews. I met my husband out there when staying at my grandmothers. My eating was off yesterday too. I think you will enjoy Cathe Live. It is nice that you can do it for a short time if you like.
meals yesterday were
usual breakfast, coffee, half and half and amazing grass green superfood. No Amino boost because I did not work out.
lunch omelet with awesome sauce and some Brussels sprouts with almond dressing
Dinner - banana bread
snack banana bread
see the pattern? I made banana bread for daughter's Sunday brunch and then didn't go. Unfortunately it was left sitting here and dh and I are the only ones to eat those two loaves. I should have just froze it for next time.
I keep trying to eat a low histamine paleo type eating which really helps with the seasonal allergies but, the eggs, and sugar are not good choices. I don't seem to have a lot of problems with the free range eggs from my daughter though. Probably because they are not fed a bunch of hormones and commercial feed. They forage and eat a lot of table scraps.
I cooked up ground turkey with onions and garlic from the pre week cook up in Well Fed cookbook. So, I have that to get me started for this weeks meals. You can use it in different recipes. It is hard when I am trying to avoid spinach and tomatoes for low histamine because they are used a lot in casseroles and recipes.

Roselyn- get workout today. That looks very interesting and I bet it goes by fast...
It is getting a little cooler here today. I have not done cardio since the weekend because it is too hot. My feet get too hot in my shoes and I slide around, it is very uncomfortable. The weather is suppose to get cooler by the end of the week so I will start again. Since I have been on my new meal plan I feel like I have lost a couple of pounds. My battery is out on my scale so I need to get a new one so I can track my progress.
Debbie, did you order the Hammer and the Chisel workouts? I got it for Christmas and did not like it because, as you know, I don't like full body workouts as much as doing splits. If you want to borrow mine I will send it to you to try. Let me now.
Diane Sue, Great workout as always and your meals inspire me to do better. I definably cheat more than you girls! I think living with only men make it hard to stay on track. They need to put as much weight on as possible for football and I need to take it off.
Have a great day!

It is getting a little cooler here today. I have not done cardio since the weekend because it is too hot. My feet get too hot in my shoes and I slide around, it is very uncomfortable. The weather is suppose to get cooler by the end of the week so I will start again. Since I have been on my new meal plan I feel like I have lost a couple of pounds. My battery is out on my scale so I need to get a new one so I can track my progress.
Debbie, did you order the Hammer and the Chisel workouts? I got it for Christmas and did not like it because, as you know, I don't like full body workouts as much as doing splits. If you want to borrow mine I will send it to you to try. Let me now.
Diane Sue, Great workout as always and your meals inspire me to do better. I definably cheat more than you girls!
I think living with only men make it hard to stay on track. They need to put as much weight on as possible for football and I need to take it off. Have a great day!

Today was cardio. I wanted to do more of the Cathe Live workouts but really did not want much for impact or weights. I started with Athletic Training Live, stopping at 26 minutes because it was turning into more weight work than I wanted to do. I used no weight on the 3 riser step upright row move and 3's on the lateral raise moves. It is low impact but just not what I wanted since I want the muscles to have a rest for the next weight workouts. This was 176 calories. I then did the live Cathe Road Trip 2015 kickboxing workout, 46 minutes, 310 calories, avg HR 122/ max 141. I used the rebounder for most of the impact like jacks and jump rope. I finished off with 15 minutes of fitness blender stretches. The first one is 9 minutes and a bit more of an active stretch that I like because she starts with the neck and shoulders and works down, all standing. She did this one in a hotel in Oregon. It can be used as a warm up too. The second was just a 6 minute cool down stretch. Total time was 87 minutes and calories burned 522. I did not eat enough yesterday and was hungry when I started. I ended up making a greens and protein smoothie to sip while getting cleaned up and making my husband lunch then came back a few minutes ago and made myself lunch. Generally I am good to wait.
Jolie, I understand the problem with eating. It really can be tough when you have others in the house to feed. I do not like cooking two different meals at the same time. I have learned to work around it most of the time. I either have things that are simple to make for myself, lots of salads and keeping some protein sources there. If the meal has a clean protein source I can have some of that and my vegetable sides. Just like when I made stew for my husband the other day. I waited to put in the potatoes and removed some of the stew meat for myself before I added the potatoes and some thickener. I ate it with Brussels sprouts and the almond dressing I used in the broccoli. I like to make a crockpot of high protein low carb soups or stews that are Paleo friendly and freeze some of it so I have something to pull out for myself later. If I am feeling lazy about cooking too meals you will generally see dinner as something with protein powder or salad with tuna or salmon or precooked meats from the refrigerator. When we stayed with my daughter and her family waiting to get our house it was tough eating clean. I did a lot of the cooking but, there was a wide variety of picky eaters. I started making large green smoothies from youngandraw.com challenge. It really made me feel fuller and helped when I had to carefully make choices. A lot of the time I could make pots of soups for lunch and my daughter would share them with me so that was good. Nice work on the shoulders. I love Less Mills Combat

I didn't have time to check in this morning. I swear, no matter how early I get up, I am always running late.
Today I did Cardio Coach 3 and had a great workout. Started taking Super Beets this morning - suppose to give you energy and help with circulation - we'll see. It tasted good so at least that's a plus.
Workout was 40 minutes, I ran 2.72 miles, burned 251 calories and went 5446 steps. Not my best which surprises me, I thought I did real well with it. I did this back on 4/5 and did better with it. Oh well...
I also did the abs from Cardio & Weights.
Jolie - No, I didn't order H&C and have no desire to. I read reviews and it doesn't sound all that great. Thanks, though!!
Roselyn - Is that the rotation you were talking about? Looks good.
Diane Sue - Nice workout and eats!!! How is your shoulder/neck doing?
