exercise forever

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is having a great holiday so far. The sun is shining and looks like a beautiful day. Just can't get dh up out of bed. Sleepy from watching the race late last night.

Yesterday I failed at staying away from those sweets. I hope today I can just take one minute at a time and think about what I'm doing every time I want that junk food.

I also didn't exercise yesterday between housework,errans and then the nascar race. Sorry but I'm a sucker for that! Yesterday will be my rest day instead of the scheduled one. Hopefully I won't do much of that. I definitely am sore from chest the other day. Wow!

Hope every has a great holiday and workout day!

Hi Kim! It is absolutley beautiful here too. I actually used my comforter last night! We're just grilling and packing up the pool today.

They say a craving only lasts a few minutes. So when you think you want something "bad" just try to give it 5 minutes. I'll bet it will pass. I actually used to have to do that with a "drink". And it does work.
You can do this Kim. And why don't you come in here and post when a craving hits? I'm sure someone will probably be on and be able to talk you out of it.
Housework burns calories as well as running around doing errands.
Just try to take it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. We're all here with you. :)

Good morning Wendy, Marie, Cleo, Jessica, I hope they know where we are! Terri, Charlotte, Carol and everyone else who checks in with us now!

I'm starting the Sept. rotation. I don't have Stepworks so I'm doing SB, then Freestyle work and a walk.
Well I gained 2 lbs. but I lost 1/4 inch of my hips, and 1 1/4 inches off my thighs! So that is cool! :7
Gotta get a coffee! I'll be back!

Good Morning Friends!

Hope you all are still continuing your weekend thru today with many fun things still left to do. With gas prices being what they are, our family will be just hanging around at home. I still have workouts to do so I am not sure what hubby or my children will be doing. Actually, hubby will be on the computer most of the day. I am sure;-)
My son will be having a X Box Fiesta Day and DD will be catching up with homework, I am sure. Her friend has spent the night after going to Red Lobster with some other friends while the rest of us stayed home eating turkey meatballs and green beans. x(

Well have a great day everyone!

Charlotte~~
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi Kim, Kali & Charlotte.

Well, my w/o yesterday was quite pathetic. LOL I was out longer with grandma than expected as we discovered we had an "emergency" situation on our hands which we will still be dealing with this morning as a matter of fact! The Christening outfit that I bought my son JUST fits him right now...if he grows AT ALL before the 18th I would be SOL if I kept that outfit! So yesterday instead of going to the b/w we went to babies r us and returned the outfit. We are going shopping for another one this morning because babies r us had very little to offer otherwise.

One good this is that while we were out yesterday one of our favorite "browsing" stores was right next door-TJ Maxx-so we went in to look around...Turns out I ended up buying several presents for DH's family Christmas eve shin-dig so I was very happy!:7

By the time I got home and ate and fed Joey it was late...I didn't start exercising until about 8pm and I had to push myself into doing it in the first place. I did the compound & heavy weight premix of c & w (which includes ab work) and then popped in the low impact step. About 5 mins into the w/u of low impact step I knew I just wasn't into it and already couldn't wait for it to be over so I just stopped. I did SOMETHING but it wasn't at all what I had planned...x( Today I will have more time though so I should on track, thank goodness.

It's circuit, extra cardio, abs today.

TTYL.:)
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi Charlotte and Wendy!

Thanks Kim!:)

We're just hanging out at home too Charlotte. Oh Red Lobster sounds wonderful! Did you Fiesta yet?

Wendy, I am not suprised that happened w/ the Christening outfit. They grow so fast the little buggers! And that is awesome you got some Christmas shopping done! Good for you! :7
At least you got some of your w/o in. There is just no point when you're not into it. If it was earlier in the day I would've said push yourself, but after 8pm? Don't sweat it. Today is a new day.
Do you like Low Impact Step? I'm buying something but I cannot make up my mind. I really want RS. I've been leaning towards that one for since I joined this forum. CTX looks good too w/ all those workouts.

What would you guys pick RS or CTX or the Timesaver DVD? I'm starting work next week and am not going to have as much time to work out anymore.
Thanks,
Kali

Hey Kali, Charlotte, and Wendy,

Kali-Sorry for the oops! on the title. Also I wanted to ask you who do you pull for in Nascar? I'm a Kasey Kahne fan. He took over Bill Eliotts car and her was who we used to pull for. I can say I was happy for Kyle Busch with his first win and all.

Charlotte- We did that same thing this weekend, just sit around the house and relax. The gas prices are rediculous around here! But my dh said he has had more fun just not doing anything!

Wendy- I know your little boy will look like an angel in whatever outfit you buy him. And did you say you already got some christmas presents? Girl I wish I could have that on my mind when I go shopping!

Have a good day ladies,


kim
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

That's OK Kim!
Bobby Labonte has been my favorite since I started watching in 1995. And when Tony Stewart joined his team I started pulling for him too.
Yes that was nice for Kyle Busch. I like night races. Have you gone to any races?

RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Good Morning Everyone,
Sounds like everyone is having a good day:) I was woke up by the phone today...wanting me to come to work but I didn't answer it.One of the girls at work is always sick and when she isn't she thinks that she is.And now, she just found out that she is pregnate so I guess she really is sick now. I would have went in b/c I would get paid twice as much...being an holiday and all, but I am going to my parents house and chances are, she is going to be sick alot more yet.
I got up and ran for 6 miles today.It was a great run and I had loads of ebergy but I also woke up with the coldx( And now it feels like it is catching up to me!
Then I went to my friends house and we did our weigh in.I was 133 lbs last week and today I was 127 lbs.But I did run and only had one glass of water so I could be a little dehydrated.Even if I weigh 128..thats a 5 lbs loss:7 And it was TTOM when I weighed last week.
Anyway, I should hit the road.I know with the gas prices i should be staying home to...oh well!
Lori:)
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Yeah Kali, I have been to the Charlotte Oct. race. I still want to go to the 600 in May. My dh and my brothers go to that every year,but I stay with my dd and go shopping with her. She hates racing!

Looking forward to the Richmond race next weekend, that's where Kahne had his first win. He's a great driver,but just needs to get more aggressive! For instance I would of took Ryan Newman out of that busch race last weekend! Lord listen at me, I will talk about this stuff all day!


Eating bkf and then I need to start on my back work. If my back feels anything like my chest, I will be bedridden.

RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi everyone! I've missed you guys. And how exciting that we've merged!

$160 later, my laptop is fixed and I don't have to use SO's computer anymore. I'm making it a priority to become good friends with someone who is knowledgeable about computers so I can save some money next time around.

Yesterday SO and I went to a mexican restuarant (my fave) and I did not eat the entire basket of chips so I was proud of myself. No workout yesterday because SO and I were shopping for decor all day.

Today I am going to run a few miles because I still have not received my mats. I emailed the company and they said they would send me tracking info on Tuesday.

Wendy, if you had done an intense w/o at 8 you probably would have a hard time falling asleep.

I hope everyone has a great holiday! I'll be catching up on some school work and prepping for some interviews i have this week.

RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi All!

What's everyone doing? Just got back from my walk. Now I'm doing SB.

Hi Jessica! Good luck on your interviews this week!

~Marie- Do you have the Timesaver DVD? And if so do you like it? I'm trying to decide on RS, CTX or Timesaver. I do cardio and weights everyday and I'm not going to have as much time on my hands anymore so I'm trying to buy something that will be beneficial and efficent to me.

If anyone has any thoughts please let me know.
Thanks girls.

RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Weighed and measured first time in two weeks. Apparently I am still battling the effects of my poor eating on the 26th and 27th of August.

Weight was up 2 1/2 pounds. Waist didn't change, hips up 3/4 inch, thighs both up 1/2 inch. Crap.

My body fat percentage though was 0.95% lower so I am burning fat with all that extra cardio I did last week.

I'm not surprised at this. What I did on the 26th and 27th is one for the record books.

Hopefully next week's weigh-in will be better.

Step Jam today subing for Step Works. I am doing the Sept rotation.
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi Ladies,

Jessica-How have you been?
Kali-I bet you are excited about your job:)
Charlotte-Is your headache better today? Migrains suck! My son use to get them when he was a teenager.
Lori-Good job on the weight loss. Have funt at your moms.
Wendy-I should start christmas shopping. Maybe that would give me something to do today :)
Jane-You will do better next weight anad measure I am sure!
Kim-I wish I got doms in my chest. I NEVER do. I wonder why that is...

Hello to all who follow. Today will be day 2 of the rotation I am doing. I did well with it yesterday. I need to go look up day two as I forget what I am suppose to do. Enjoy your day ladies.

Terri
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hey terri,

The soreness in my chest is probably because it is the first time I have worked it in two months. Let's just say I have been on vacation from exercising for a while.

Today I just finished doing GS back and lord only knows how I will feel tomorrow. I have coremax 1 left to do today. Boy do I dread this one! I am hoping that my measurements change for the better in two weeks. So I have to lay off the junk food!


kim
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi Everyone.

Well I'm done for today. I walked for an hour and I did SB to sub for StepWorks. I'm doing the rotation too Jane! I'm sure you're weigh in next week will be better.

I was going to do some Freestyle work but I am tired now. I had to wring my tank bra out after SB! And it's not even hot here today! I haven't done that one in a while. It was fun.

Hi Terri!

Well I'm off to shower and to the store for a few things for the week. Be back later.

RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Ok I added cardio to the rotation I am doing so I ran dor an hour. I also did the push ups on the schedule. Later I will do pub. I am going to clean up and go do something...anything as I am tired of being in the house today.

kali- You are lucky your weather is cooler. It is almost 90 in denver and I am so OVER summer!

Chat with you all later!

Oh Wendy you have inspired me to go do a gift a week for christmas. I will be ahead of the game that way!!

Terri
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi ladies,

I completed GS back earlier today and been lazy the rest of the time. I was supposed to do coremax 1 today but my abs are sore from the other day. Do any of you usually still do abs right after they are sore? I might try it, just don't know if it will be painful. HA!

I have finally had a day that I haven't had any junk food! I have to make a chocolate cake for a lady at work but I can't eat it anyway. She would not appreciate a piece missing from her cake.


kim
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

OOPS just realizes abhits is on tap for today! So the pushups I did were not. Oh well abits here I come! So cardio is done puchups done now I am off to do pub and abhits....

Terri

Kim-Good for you on the no junk thing
 
RE: Moment of truth check-in Sept 5,2005

Hi Guys.

Well at least you got pushups in too Terri!
Yes Kim keep it up. NO JUNK! :)

I didn't do any Freestyle so...... I think I am going to take another walk. I did good today with my eating. Clean and pretty close to my calorie deficit.

Tomorrow is BodyMax. Do you have it Jane? I do. May have to stop to take the boys to school but that's ok. I'll do what I gotta do. :7

Hard to believe summer is over. :-( I don't mind, I love the Fall. It's just amazing to me how fast time is going by. Oh well.
DH and I are getting along good. And they all go to work and school tomorrow so that is good news for me!! :7
