Good morning fitness buddies....

I have to go into the hospital (workplace) and get blood work done for my annual employment review as well as fill out health questionnaire, etc... just more red tape to stay employed. I can't have anything to eat or drink since I have to be fasting. They open at 7 and I plan to be there at that time, so I can get back home and EAT!

I weighed and measured this morning. I'll go ahead and post them...

Bust - 35 - no change
Waist - 25 3/4 - lost 1/4
Hips - 37 - no change
Thighs - both 21 - no change

My body fat percentage is up this week, I have no idea why. I cannot believe though that I am gaining fat! My legs feel like bricks! I could be that I am due to start my period any minute. I don't know what kind of fluctuations you'd get with that. I seems the body fat would read lower since if I was holding any water, it would be measured as lean body mass, not fat and thus my BF percentage would be lower. Oh well, I don't know. My abs look like a washboard, my legs feel like bricks, so even with my butt not cooperating by losing any more inches, I feel I am moving in the right direction. Sometimes we can get too hung up on numbers. I try to remember they are a tool to guide, not rule your life!

Since start zigzagging,I have gained 4.3 lbs. in lean muscle mass which is nothing to sneeze at!!

Hope everybody has a good Monday. I know, I know .. "what a good Monday?":p

IMAX2 today and 10 minutes of abs Becky and Kali.... can't wait!!
 
Jane,

I am sure it is the wrong time of the month for you to take in body fat measurements. Mine gives me evil numbers too. Don't worry about it, it is a lie! LOL! Don't give it a second thought.

I got on the scale this morning and gained another pound! YEAH! I am at 117 now!!!!! My bodyfat is still about the same too and holding at 14.6%. I always worried that body fat will go up as weight does, but so far, so good! I don't think my measurements change much at all, but I will take some in a few weeks just to see.

I am going to be working abs today to every ab video I have of Cathe's...be like a ab marathon day for me. Plus I want to work my tri's.

Have a great day and workout everyone!

Charlotte~~
 
Good Monday Morning Everyone!

Yes Jane , I am getting ready to tie my laces right now and do Imax 2 , YEAH! I have so much fun with that one!!

It is the *right before* time for me too Jane and I always eat more now and the scale shows it too, but I am not doing all the calorie counting , measuring, etc that you are , so I can't really comment, sorry.

I'll be back after working out, just wanted to pop in and say good morning to everyone, and Kali and Jane......YEEEEE HAWWWWWWW we have a GREAT workout to start out the week with!!:p
 
Good Morning Everyone!:)
Can you tell I am happy to be awake?:eek: No not really! Im happy I woke up but would have loved to go back to sleep!
Yesterday was a good day.Eating wasn't crazy but I probably did have to many test taste of the desserts:9 But to make myself feel better I had a sensible dinner.
Today I am doing cardio and legs.I wanted to do cardio now but DH ordered new sneakers for me and I want to see if they are gonna come anytime soon.They are supposed to be here today and on the fedex shipping site,they say they are in the city..so thats not far at all:) I may not be able to put it off though and I may have to do my cardio.

Jane-I wouldn't worry to much about your results today...especially with at 25 inch waist! How in the world do you get a 25 inch waist? I think measuring tapes in the States are different from Canada!

Charlotte-Congrats on gaining a pound:p Are you the only chick around here trying to gain weight? I suppose your gonna tell me that YOU have a 24 inch waist.:)

Becky-Have fun with Imax 2, I really enjoy that one as well.

Good MOrning to everyone else! I won't name you all b/c I know i will forget some.
Lori:) (The girl with the 28 inch waist!)
 
IMAX2 is FUN FUN FUN!!! and better yet, IT'S DONE DONE DONE!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you're having a good time w/ it Becky and you too later on Jane!
Glad you're feeling better Becky!!!

Jane, I agree TTOM has got to have something to do with it. I'm due any day myself. When you can see and feel a difference, measurements do not matter. ;) Don't pass out during the blood work!

Hi Charlotte! Great job gaining that pound!! WooHoo! You're pictures are great. You look terrific Girlfriend.

Boys are off to school and I'm heading out to put some more applications in the local stores. I think I'll hit Target, Sam's, Kmart and the JCPenney catalog center. I hit Walmart and a Drugstore chain store yesterday.

Hi Wendy! Don't worry about gaining. You're entire routine and metabolism was off for a week from being sick and the party etc. Start today and get back on track with your w/o's and eating. You were pretty sick there Girlfriend. No more skipping w/o's unless you're crawling on the floor! LOL! }(

Good morning Jessica, Lori, Kim, Terri, Nancy how was the wedding??
Debbie and Shannon! Sorry if I missed anyone!!

It's getting late. Gotta get a shower. BBL,
Kali

Good Morning Friends.

Jane~~Congrats on your losses and who cares about that pesky body fat % going up...I'm sure it's only temporary!!! From the sounds of it, you have NOTHING to worry about!!!:)

Charlotte~~So you are beginning to gain weight, huh? That's awesome! I am convinced that can be waaaay harder than losing it. My DH would LOVE to gain weight too!

Becky~~Have fun with IMAX 2. I gotta do that one again some day soon.

Lori~~I hope you get your shoes before you gotta do cardio!

Kali~~Hello. Where are ya?

Today is circuit, xtra cardio and abs for me. I just thought of BCx2 and since I thought of it...I am afraid that I have to do it! OH NO! :eek: I better get movin' then! LOL How long does it take, BTW??

Got on the scale this morning and I gained a couple of pounds x( but like I told Jane, I am hoping it's a temporary increase (for what reason, I don't know!) and it will go away soon....My clothes are no tighter and I don't "feel fat" so I have no idea why the gain but this too shall pass, right? :+
 
Kali,

How's the weather up there this morning? Feeling a lovely breeze yet? Gosh, it is so tropical like here with a nice breeze. Temps just perfect. Hope my rats don't blow away in the wind as the wind is suppose to pick up soon. BTW, thanks for the encouragement.

Lori,

Ah, no! My waist I don't think has ever been 24! LOL! LOL! I think it was 26 a very long time ago, but now it is again only because I work it and never worked my abs before..EVER! I bought these jeans a few weeks to sell on ebay and they were a size 0. I laughed because when I looked at them, I thought that maybe my arm would fit in the leg part, but never ever my legs. So I tried just for fun and put the pants on. They got up just past my knees and that was it! Why do they make size 0's, can anyone really wear them????

Wendy,

I still can't figure out how you got that weight chart up, but that is o.k. I will just keep you all posted about my weight. Stage 2 will be when I am 120 and stage 3 at 125 which will be my goal weight.


Hope you all have a great day! Gosh, got tons of laundry to do today!!!

Charlotte~~
 
EEEEK! Done with IMAX 2 before 8 am!?!?! INSANE!!!! But it's gotta feel WONDERFUL Kali! You are AWESOME! }( :+ :7

Good luck with the job search. I'm sure you'll get a job in no time!
 
Okay Kali,

I've joined you with Imax 2 behind me, as well as 10 minutes of abs from MIC (I don't have ab hits) !!! :D
It's a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. I love that one. I love the music and *just about* everything about it (can anyone say they love tuck jumps and plyo jacks????:p) But I did all the plyo jacks and all the sumo's....didn't modify anything!

I too, have new shoes today and they were MUCH better for me than what I had. Better cushioning - great for the airborn moves just fit better all the way around! It makes a difference for sure to have good fitting shoes!

Charlotte, I love your pictures! Great Halloween decorations and your body is a rock! I can't imagine biceps work with such heavy weights!!!! OUCH!

Time to make a reward smoothie!!!:9
What's everybody doing today??
 
Hey... I have literally one second here... started work about 8:15 and I need to get BUSY.. Mondays are always a bear due to less coverage on the weekend so a build up of minutes. Back from blood work, didn't pass out Kali... thank heavens needles don't bother me.

Thanks for the encouraging words everybody. I know not to get too hung up on numbers, I just have to look in the mirror. Becky, as far as eating more, I haven't been except for Saturday, I didn't go over my allotted calories but I was way too high on fat. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I can't wait to get started with IMAX2. That w/o gets me so excited!!! I love it. I will probably work 'til 4 today. We are back on OT and I am going to take advantage of it since I could use some extra cash, who couldn't right?

Talk to y'all later today.:) :)
 
Wendy,

LOL! I checked out the site, thanks! Only problem is that I could not manipulate the system to go backwards...it is saying, "CONGRATULATIONS" already. And is still has on there pounds to lose. I guess it would be confusing to have up. Kind of neat though.

Charlotte~~
 
Okay Jane, Question......
Why are you trying to lose weight?
Out of curiosity I measured myself because your measurements seemed like what I figured mine would be.....I am working to maintain but not necessarily lose and I am:
Bust: 34
waist 25
Hips 34
thighs ones 19 and ones 20, is THAT normal ??

I wasn't thinking I need to lose weight and I know it's a very personal thing, but you seem to work so hard with numbers and calories and zigzagging , etc, but those numbers don't seem to be of someone who is overweight and we KNOW you aren't out of shape....
just wondering.
How do you do your body fat? I dont' know what mine is, and I guess I should.
Is it more about measurements, body fat, actual weight you see on the scale or what?
Charlotte, can I ask how tall you are? You can't have one ounce of fat on you, by your pictures!!!! What a bod!
:eek:
Okay, hope I haven't been too personal, just am curious...
 
Hi, ladies!

I hope you are all doing well.

I have a comment for Kali: Kali, I didn't know you were looking for work. (Didn't you have an office job lined up?) Anyway, I heard that both Cigna and Geisinger are hiring in the call centers near Montage. Not sure what type of work you are looking for or the kind of hours you want, but I know people who work in both places and they like it a lot. Apparently the pay is good and the health insurance is awesome. You should check out their websites.

Good luck!! Let me know how it goes.

ETA: Charlotte, you are a monster!! }( }( }( Your new pics are fab! Is your DH afraid of those arms??? lol

Marie
 
Becky,

I fear that all my body fat rest in my thighs. ;-) I use the Omron Body Fat Analyzer and take measurements after I wake up and empty my bladder. I am 5' 7 1/2" tall. Thanks, gosh!:p

Charlotte~~
 
Hi all.

Charlotte-It stinks that you couldn't get the tracker to work backwards for you. That would have been cool motivation for you...not that you need it!:)

Well I did the Complete Core Premix of Coremax this morning. I wanted to do my xtra cardio too but I didn't have enough time. Atleast I KNOW my abs are worked though since that is what I tend to slack on! :)

Well, it's time to get Joey up now....

I'll be back a bit later!:)
 
Hi Girls,
Everyone is on a roll today. While I am waiting for my sneaks,I decided to do housework:-( I'd rather workout but I will be happy when I get some of this dog fur cleaned up to. I don't have much left b/c downstairs is still a mess. A friend of ours was suppose to help DH do the electrical work, and he is to lazy to help(he hates working).This drives me crazy b/c DH is ALWAYS helping him do something.I told DH that I was going to hire an electrician and the next time your "good friend" needs a favor..tell him where to go!I just don't understand people like that.
Anyway,looks like everyone is doing good.Its a rainy day here so I am not overflowing with energy
Lori:)

Marie,

No, DH is not afraid of my arms. LOL! He is proud of me though and tells me so. I do arm wrestle him on ocassion just for fun. He beats me quickly ever time. He has huge arms and I expect him too. We just like to have fun.

Charlotte~~
 
Marie~~~ Thanks! I am definatley going to look into it! I'll let you know!

Well I decided to come home and eat something before I head out to put app's in different places so I wouldn't end up eating McDonalds or something horrific like that later on! I'm glad I did cause I can check out those places Marie told me about.

It's raining here Charlotte. But rather warm too. Very comfortable. I'll tell you what tho. When I was stretching at the end of IMAX2, the sweat was dripping right off me like raindrops on the floor! What a w/o!

Good job Becky!! I HATE Plyo jacks and Plie jumps. BUT.......I feel so accomplished when I can do them all!!! :7

Hi Lori! I know what you mean about helping people out and them not ever wanting to do anything in return. He probably doesn't even realize that he's like that! Well hope you get some energy!

Hiya Wendy!! How's it going?? Good job with the Coremax premix.
I still have to abs later. How's the little guy today? Doing better w/ the oatmeal? I hope so.

Yes Jane. Now that I think about it, WHY are you trying to lose weight?? You're like a stick! :)

I'm off to check those sites Marie told me about. I will BBL.

Hi Kimmy, Terri, Jessica, Shannon, and Nancy!!! Oh Nancy???? Guess she had a GOOD TIME yesterday!!!}(

Kali

Hi Kali- He just hates working in general.His wife is the bread winner and he grew up with things, pretty much, passed to him.And still does.So he doesn't really have to work and when he does...he is so moody! She can't even talk to him.He just wants to drive around drinking coffee all day.
Anyway, so he is working now and to try and get him here after work is like pulling teeth.DH said today, maybe thats why I haven't seen him mush lately b/c he is afraid that if he pops in, I will put him to work.

Its one of those day when the dogs are barking at EVERYTHING.And the funny thing is, I am waiting for my sneakers so I keep thinking the delivery guy is here! They were the same way the last time I was waiting for Cathe workouts!
Must run again,
Lori:)
