Weightloss Challenge Now Thru Dec 31st - July 27th

Good Morning,

Today is work then I plan on getting in a good workout after:)

Hello Sue and gonnaba5, thanks for the introductions!

Yesterday I ended up doing a wii punching combo workout ( golds gym cardio workout) for about 30mins. My workouts are not what they use to be since working full time:confused: I use to workout intense,5/6 days a week and now since being on my feet all day im lucky to get in 3+ workouts.

Hello to everyone that follows. I ended the day yesterday at 1710 calories:) yay!
 
Happy Tuesday All. Yesterday was so busy at work. I walked so much and today I was so tired but I squeezed in a 20 min run. Still feeling tired. Already dreaming about bed tonight. lol
 
Good morning :)

Shereta Good for you for squeezing in that 20 minute run, I bet you felt so proud of yourself despite being so tired.

This morning I did a 5-mile tempo run. It felt good to run fast.

My menu for the day is:

oatmeal with 1/2 cup mango
apple

salad with avocado
1/2 cup quinoa
veggie burger (pattie only - no bun)

3/4 cup greek yoghurt with mango
carrots

dinner is a baked chicken breast with some kind of green veggie and some baked sweet potato

evening snack will be popcorn

Have a great day everyone!
 
I'm still sore from Saturday's workout! No workout yesterday, YR today, will get back to run/walk tomorrow. Ate clean yesterday, starting no sugar tomorrow. What is Evonne planning for August?
 
Hi Sue

My plan for August is to finish STS, and then concentrate on Gym Styles for a few weeks. All the while keeping up my running and other Cathe aerobics.

I hope to get up to the 11-mile mark with my runs by the end of August. I need to be able to run 13 miles for the half-marathon in September.

I need to focus also on keeping my diet clean - I want to get more organize with my menu planning.
 
M3D25 yesterday. I write in the STS workbook and was pleased to see some micro improvements from the last round. Could really feel some doms during kickboxing this morning, which always makes me happy. Can't wait for Plyo Legs tomorrow. I think I might toss in a Turbo Barre premix after.

Made the mistake of making zucchini bread and may have had a bit too much for lunch. Planning a nice clean dinner to make up for it. I'm going to raid my dad's garden for some fresh veggies and grill some chicken.

Hope you all have a great day. : )
 
Melanie, we are almost on the same program. I'm scheduled to run 11 on Sept 1st. My half is 9/15. OMG. It's getting closer and closer. I have STS-TB on tap for tomorrow.
 
Hi Shereta,

My half is September 23. I can't wait. Do you know what you're going to wear? I thought I had a good outfit, but then I ran 9 miles in it and got major chafing. But then when I ran 9.5 miles I used vaseline on the areas that had been chafed before, and I didn't have a problem.

Anyways, I still don't know for sure what to run the half in. I'm contemplating going to Lululemon and splurging. I've never bought anything from that store because its so expensive. But one thing I've learned from running is that its worth it to buy the more expensive gear than to suffer with the cheap stuff.

I remembered you talked about tempo runs, so I did some research on that and decided to try one myself a couple of days ago. Actually, it felt really good to run at a faster pace. It seemed to flush a lot of the lactic acid out of my quads and I wasn't as sore afterwards. So I think that taught me a good lesson to mix up my training and not always do slow runs.

Now I need to figure out where to run so that I can get some hills into my training. Sounds like you get a lot of hills in your training.
 
Hi all! Yesterday I ate pretty clean. My last dessert for a month was strawberries w/ whipped cream, it was yummy and not too calorie-dense. Now I can have the strawberries but not the whipped cream!

I got August off to a good start w/ my walk/run... 20 min straight jogging :) I'm still sore so I followed that up w/ a stretch max.

Used the WO manager to plan my month, entered a workout for every day. Last month I found myself taking unscheduled days off then working out on my scheduled day off. So this month if I need a day off I'll just delete the workout for that day.

Renee - how's your PF? are you feeling any better? I imagine that really messes with your w/o capabilities!

Amelia - I'm more of a moderate exerciser. I actually started working out w/ the wii fit to ease myself into it, but haven't been on there in a while. How intense is the gold's gym workout?

Shereta - how was your day yesterday? Don't you hate it when your dragging from morning to night?

Melanie - STS + running + cardio? Wonder woman! How are you liking your muscle definition?

Tina - I've never made zucchini bread but I can make a mean banana bread. It's so hard to resist when it's right out of the oven!

Let's have an excellent month :)

Sue
 
M3D26 plyo legs, bonus legs from M1D3 and STS ball abs. I am cooked now. Plyo legs are my favorite of all the STS workouts, super sweat factory!

My DD made these Oreo Bonbons from a recipe at Disney. I goofed and had one this afternoon. Boy, was that yummy! Now I'll have to be vigilant the rest of the day. : /

I'm in awe of all the running you girls are doing, fantastic! : )
 
Hey Tina! Plyo legs and bonus legs from M1D3? Um...wow!!! I did plyo legs disk 26 last week and was fried. That is awesome for you!

Oreo bonbons sound deadly.....
 
Man, we're getting some great workouts in.

Yesterday, I didnt do weights cause I really felt like some Cathe fun and did 30/30. Love that one.

Got to bed at 1am so no workout this morning. I pray I get my 5 in this evening on the dreadmill.

I don't like hills, but I know they will help my training, and my neighbohood is full of the them. I'm supposed to run a 10K tune up run on Saturday, so I hope to do weights tomorrow. Cause 6.2 aint that bad on my body. We shall see.

My weight is stuck. There are many varibles here: stress, lack of sleep, not enough water. I will never give up though.
 
I got in ttm and yoga yesterday. Today Im gonna do a weight work. Not sure what yet. I like total body but don't like spending a whole hr on It lol. !
Have a great day
 
Hey Renee - what do you think of TTM? I like it more each time I do it. It moves so fast and is never boring.

Shereta - when I finally get down to my goal weight and if I feel myself slipping into bad habits, I am going to strongly remind myself how easy it is to gain weight and how HARD it is to lose it!!

The first time I really lost weight and got down to my goal weight I was in my mid-20s. When I look back on it, I can see how it was easier to lose the weight when I was younger. I always think that I can bounce back easily after a lapse, but its getting tougher and tougher.

I get really frustrated sometimes, but I try to remind myself that I'm on the right track. Like you, I will just keep on trying. I'm bound to break this plateau eventually! Right???

BTW, I'm 39 and have 18 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight (135). I'll honestly be thrilled once I break the 150 mark. I just wanna see 149 on that scale!! Just a few more pounds to go until 149.
 
Melanie I had to come and answer you! I love TTM. I did as is the first few times..I was surprised I got threw it even with PF! But I did low impact no core premix two times. I can't understand it but yesterday I almost threw up during tabata and another time during HIIT part! It seemed harder to me yesterday but I tacked on core then to be god to the body I did yoga relax express premix! :).
How tall are u if u don't mind me asking? I'm 5.1 and 1/2 lol I am at 150! That's a lot I think for my height. I was 144 til I started getting in exercise hard! So frustrated. Well anyway just getting a feel of where we are all at on this journey. I was 170 at 22 yrs old took 2 yrs but I got down to 103! Stayed there along time I am 42 now a.d I gained almost 47 pounds in about 5 yrs! So aggrivated at myself for getting this way again. But I know slow and steady is the best way.

Gonnabea5 I wonder y u r not sleeping. I have same problem to. I can fall asleep just can't stay asleep. I sleep better when alarm goes off! Lol.
 
Hi Renee - I'm 5'6" 1/2 - almost 5'7".

That's awful about feeling that you were going to throw up while working out! I sometimes feel that way when I workout and I'm super tired.
 
Last night something amazing happened - I couldn't finish my dinner! Today I did HIIT pyramid, sticking to my eating plan, feeling good :). Keep up the good work ladies!
 
Hey, Ladies. Couldn't even try to workout after dinner. Im usually done for the day when I get home. But, tonight I should be in bed by 9. so happy about that. will get my 6.2 race done on the treadmill and do STS-TB on Saturday.

Yeah I don't mind being over weight. I don't mind being old. I just don't want them both at the same time.

BTW I always get to bed late on Wednesday b/c of coming in late from bible study. So, I will switch my rest day to Thursday and see how that goes for a while. Sometimes you just have to switch things up a bit and stop beating yourself up.
