Hey Ladies! Good Morning!http://www.smileys.ws/smls/messages/00000006.gif[/img]

How are my girlies on this fine hump day morning?

Today is Power Hour for me. No abs, did them yesterday...

My coffee is done brewing...must go grab it! Just wanted to get this one started. Feel bad for leaving Lori all alone yesterday. http://www.smileys.ws/smls/sad/00000019.gif[/img]

TTFN!:)
 
Robyn,

I just read your post from yesterday....we do a lot of o/t yapping here but we definately check in on work outs and eating here too so you are welcome to join in! :)
 
Good Morning Ladies!:)

Im glad to see this thread today.I thought everyone bailed yesterday.I posted one but no one responded to it! Poor Lori:-( She was so sad! Boo Hoo!!!!;( :) Did I miss the one posted?

I am almost done drinking my coffee and even though I had more then 8 hrs sleep last night, I feel like I had 2 hours. Is there anyway that I/we can find the right amount? If you get 5 your still tired...if you get 8, you have had to much...if you get 6.5 you wake up feeling great but as the day wears on...you need a nap.Is this just me or does everyone feel this way?

I am really,really, thinking about following Cathes new rotation..and lucky for me I am in the mood to do KPC today.Which of course makes me a day behind schedule, but I am sure I can catch up on one of the rest days.I am also going to do MM and I am going for a walk after lunch with the dogs and my friend.

How is everyone else doing? Wendy...get me another cup of coffee while you are at it.Maybe I will brew my own:)

Hey, gals! Wendy, so far my hump day has been humpless, but let's see what tonight brings, shall we? ;-)

I am getting the morning to myself. My grandma is coming over to watch the boys so that I can get some me time. I think that I am going to go to the park since it is so beautiful here today. I am going to go on a long hike! I thought about asking a friend to go with me, but I think not. How often do I get time to meself, I ask? Hardly ever, so I am taking it! :p

Sorry for leaving everyone hanging yesterday, I was busy, busy!!! My house is very clean! Yippee! I just have laundry as usual and the other everyday stuff.

I will be on to chat with you more later!

Lori, I am so happy for your DH!!! That is such awesmoe news!!!

Good! You got a day for yourself! Thats awesome! DD is on school during lunch today so I pretty much have all day to myself. Dh is very excited but like he said last night it is just kicking in.
You know whats weird? This town is really small, where everyone knows everybody.I worked with a guy for a bit that moved into the city and he e-mails me off and on.When he is working he e-mails me (he works one week on one week off) and then when he is off, I don't hear from him.And whenever I talked to him, he always asked did my DH find a job yet? He was being nosey and a part of me thinks he got pleasure in seeing someone out of work (im serious...this town is this bad) He got fairly annoying and to the point that I didn't respond when he asked this question.So he e-mailed me last Mon and I told him what had happened...and I haven't heard from him since! Weird hey? Now he is probably rotted at the fact that not only does DH have a job but people get the false impression that b/c you own your own business, you are going to be rolling in the dough! I think its weird that I haven't heard from him so I think I am going to e-mail him and confirm everything and rub it in a little!:7

I must go workout I suppose, i still don't feel totally awake though:eek:

Good Morning All:

I'm the one that started my New Years Resolution yesterday. I'm not sure which thread to start posting on, "moment of truth" seemed to jump out at me.

I started out slow yesterday. I did the lower body section of "Body Sculpt" from the Firm and then I did Core Max I. Now I am off to do the upper body section of Body Sculpt and I'm going to attempt Core Max III. I just got a weighted ball and can't wait to try it out!!

I've been laughing at all of the posts about Halloween candy -- at least if I would have waited until Jan. 1, I wouldn't been dealing with this temptation!! :)

Thanks for letting me join in! I know the only way I can stay focused is knowing that I have to TELL someone about my workouts!

Hi Michelle! Glad to have ya!:) Give us some juicy details though...how long have you been working out?....Are youlosing weight or building muscle?....Im the nosey one:+

I just finished my workout but it didn't go so well:eek: I did KPC and on the last combo I snapped my elbow back to far when doing kickbacks:eek: I thought I was going to pass out! I had to stop and lie on the floor so I stopped.When it felt like the pain was gona I did the abs part but when I got to the ball exchange part I must have straightened my arm out totally b/c the pain kicked in again.
Then I moved on to MM but I skipped anything that involved my arms being straight.So of course I left out plank work..triceps..pushups..and some back work.I think I will give it a day or two.It was nasty though.
Im gonna get in the shower now and get ready to take the dogs for walk.This is the second day I have planned this b/c when I get up it is nice out.It is now getting pretty gray outside and very windy.

I just finished my workout which included Core Max III. Who knew an 8 pound ball was so heavy when doing abs!!!??

Lori -- I'm 36 and have two kids. I've been working out on and off most of my adult life. I hate to admit it, but mostly "off" since the kids. This year I have attempted it numerous times -- kept it up for a month, then life gets in the way and I stop. That is why I need to join this forum -- I need the motivation.

I'm at a good weight and I'm really focusing on strength and muscle. I saw at one time there was a thread about would you still eat healthy and work out if you were at your ideal weight? Well, I am at my 'ideal' weight, (if you want to call it that) however, being at your ideal weight does not mean you are healthy, strong, or that you even look good. I want my arms and legs sculpted -- and you need to workout to do that. My biggest problem is my abs -- so I'm going to focus on that as well.

Because it is not a "weight" issue -- I can hide all my flaws behind my clothes. Therefore, when I try to talk eating healthy or working out, other women seem really turn off by it. I really need to talk and also need ADVICE about how to get to my goals! So that is why I am here! :)

Hello everyone,

I hope that I can blab here for a second. I started the clean eating thread because I need to get rid of eating sugar and all around eating well. It seems like everyone has these great meals that are healthy that I don't have access to. I used to be a strict eater 3 years ago and I just lost it! It seems to be getting out of control and I don't know how to stop it! I started off today with oatmeal with lower sugar and I drank water throughout the day and then came the time I get off work and I go by McDonalds to get a chocolate milkshake and fries. Gosh! I try to fight it and it beats me everytime. And to make it worse me,and two other girls are weighing each other every two weeks. Well one lady who has cut out sweets lost a pound and the other stayed the same weight in those two weeks. Guess what? In two freaking weeks I gained FIVE,I MEAN FIVE POUNDS!!!!
This is very discouraging to me and I am at my wits end! I just had to get this off my chest and ask for any advice. But I wonder if there's any advice for me. I have to do it for myself but something is holding me back!

Sorry this is so long. I get to blabbing and I can't stop! But thinks for hearing me out!

Wendy or anyone else, if you have any little tricks to beating this food problem please let me know! I see that all you women are losing weight and I also want to do the same thing. I have my exercising being consistent now, I just need to get a hold of my diet. Maybe I should elimenate one thing at a time!


Now I will shut up!

Oh Kim...I hear ya!:eek: About 4 yrs ago I was so stict it wasn't even funny! I started counting fat grams back then b/c that was the "new thing".Low fat was the way to go and I ate low fat things,mostly carbs,very little meat,and I use to eat gummy bears in the night time.And I still lost weight!
It got to the point where I would only eat certain things and I wasn't enjoying life anymore.i was comparing myself to others and I would fret at the thought of going to my in-laws and eating a burger.This didn't happen over night it was a gradual thing.And although I was never under weight and I looked good,I wasn't enjoying my young years like I should have.
Now I am 10 lbs heavier, I eat more but I am happier.I don't compare myself to others BUT I hate getting dressed to go out b/c I wish I were lighter.
Fact is...are we ever happy? I think we just need to cut one thing put at a time.And really listen to your body if your not craving it then don't eat it.
Lori
 
Thanks Lori,

Yes I think we are never happy. Four years ago I lost weight and everyone said I was too skinny. I ate strict and I ran everyday. My face was sunk in and I didn't have any body fat. I only saw how skinny I was when my picture was taken and I saw how fragile I looked. Now I thought I was miss fitness, but this picture literally made me cry. Well I decided that I should eat alittle more of the not so healthy foods to maybe gain some weight and I cut down the running and did other cardio. See, I am not a bad size in fact my dh and others tell me I look better than I have in a long time. But how in the crap do you lose the belly fat without getting so skinny? I believe that you should eat the forbidden foods every once in a while, but I have gotten ridiculous!

Sorry I have blabbed again, but I guess I am never happy one way or the other. I am scared of being too skinny and I afraid of being fat!


Thanks for hearing me!

Don't apologize.This is something we all go through.I have my good days and bad days and I am also a good size.Its not until I see pic's of myself or look at videos, that I think..."geez, I don't look as bad as I thought I did". Like I said, when I use to watch what I ate,my mom use to tell me I was small and everyone would say in conversation that I had nothing to worry about but no one every said I was to skinny...b/c I wasn't.Back then, I could see the shape starting to form in my abs.I don't have belly fat, I am just well proportioned.I have nothing that is bigger then the other,
I have just come to realize that yes, I can lose 5 lbs with just cutting back but I can't lose 15 lbs without being super strict and not enjoying life.
I have never gotten into eating McDonalds milkshakes and fries though:eek: hahaha.There are certain things I am still disciplined to stya away from and that is one of them.I will taste DH's when he haves one but those things have a days worth of cals! Holy, moly...
