Good Morning!
My abs are sore today. Must be from all of the core/ab work in y'day's BR work outs.
This morning's work out was BM2 step combos only + Jillian's BFBM circuits 4-5-6. Circuit 4 is ab/core focused so I got my ab work in while continuing my cardio routine. Good stuff!
My food for the day:
1) coffee w/half n half (pre-work out), banana (post work out)-1 point
2) bagel thin w/1 tb nat pb, apple (breakfast)-6 points
3) turkey on deli flat w/pretzels, pickle, fruit (lunch)-8 points
4) salad (veggies only) w/ff dressing, fruit (snack)-1 point
5) 4 oz red wine, ? (dinner), ? (dessert)-13 points
Steph:: My DH and DS love to grab hotdogs from Costco when we go there. Often we will go around a meal time specifically so they can eat there. LOL I will eat before we go and pass on the hotdog except for a small bite just to taste it at times. Yeah-HIS is a brain fryer for sure. I am getting it now though. Will have to do it next week again for sure! MMA KB is fun but I can't get combo 3. All that turning confuses me.
Stacy:: Depending on HOW bad it is, I will use ALL of my points (daily/activity/weekly) towards a big cheat in order to keep myself from cheating again during that week and then work to earn back as many points as I can through exercise before my next weigh in. I like your idea of writing on your food containers so that you know how many points are in a serving at a glance. I might start doing that with anything new I buy until I've learned the point values. Thanks re seeing my results. I work out hard so I knew it was there. I just had to uncover it a bit more!

Good morining girls
No doms to speak of... i tried the sc kb with the 1 pound handweights so i was expecting some
Good job Stacy on the intervals...You guys are so dedicated getting up early to exercise. I have a 6 and 8 year old and if they hear noise they will wake up even earlier than they do! besides that i don't know if i am dedicated enough to get up earlier. I get up at about 5:30-6 and check the emails and then have to get the kiddos ready. I am out of the house by 7:20 when i go to work..
Today i am not sure about yet work out wise...maybe chest and back maybe bodymax for cardio..mmmm really haven't a clue.
I have been reading the sts 6x a week thread and i am very very tempted for this end of august/sept....and then there is the maybe supreme 90 you gals might do...maybe a sts(3 days)/supreme 90...
Wendy: I really am motivated by your weight loss showing your muscles and think thats where i have to go...I am pretty stagnat weight wise...I am at 127 and hover between 126 and 127 (i am 5'4+3/4)...I would really love to be 120-122ish...I will see how the summer goes and take it from there i guess. It is easier when i am at work..(excuses excuses...)
Today i woke up with a killer head ache (gotta love that) and my kids didn't want to do their reading (i am trying to implement a 10 minute everyday so their brains don't go totally mushy this summer) It escapes me how none of my children like reading... I always have a book in my hand.,. I love reading and i always have tons of books available to them but..nope none have caught the reading bug yet..
well enough woe is me stuff..
hope you all have a great day and i will check in later...

Steph...I don't always get DOMS from using my weighted gloves for kb. Sometimes I get none at all but other times it's so bad I feel like I lifted heavy weights for an hour instead! I prefer using the weights regardless of what happens the next day though b/c it kicks up the intensity of the cardio factor too IMO. I weighed 127-128 for a long time and was very happy at that weight even at my shrimpy 5' 3 1/2" stature. Then I dropped down to 124-125 while doing an Insanity rotation and loved it but soon all hell broke loose. I not only gained those couple pounds I had lost back but gained more which brought me to the 131+ that I weighed in at for 1-2 years w/no weight loss solution in sight before finally joining WW back in Mid April. My initial WW goal was 125 but once I reached it and realized how doable the program was I decided to go for a few more pounds. That being said, I've lost 7 pounds so far and have 3 more to go to get my goal weight of 121. I am so excited! I am sure you can do this and get your goal too. Just put your mind to it and nothing will stop you!!!! I'm pullin' for ya girl! Sorry about the headache. That's the worst! I have a 6 year old too but he is lazy. He likes to sleep so my 5am work outs don't affect him. I have to wake him up for school most mornings and on weekends he gets up around 7 which is about when I get up too.

Allee:: You can do this! You just need to make up your mind that you are going to and you need to be 100% invested in it! I'm not saying that you can't have your "cheats" but you need to commit to proper tracking of ALL OF THE FOOD YOU EAT and make sure you know what the point values are of what you want to eat BEFORE you eat it so that you are not going over your DP allowance by the end of the day. The work outs are great but they are secondary at this point since you've already been exercising for a while. Concentrate on WW/eating and you will see the pounds start to come off. HTH a bit! ((((HUGS))))

Thanks Wendy!
Today after work I will plan my meals for the week. You are right I having been tracking much. Again thanks for the encouragments. YES!!!! I can do this.
Planning for the WEEK!? I can't do that! Kudos to you! I do plan ahead one day at a time during the week though for the food that I bring to work with me and always leave roughly the same amount of points for what I will eat once I get home. It works for me. On weekends I shoot from the hip a bit more but constantly monitor/track points so that I don't go over unless I've intended to for some reason.

Wendy is right... Tracking and measuring your portions are they way to go! My biggest problem is actually portions. I eat the right foods its just in enormous quantities Since I gave up my daily chocolate fix I find i actually crave it less My weakness now is ice cream...did you ever realize how small half a cup portion actually is??? I limit myself to a portion once or twice a week...
Today so far i have been goodish:
1 plain chobani
12 almonds
.5 c mango
100 bagel with 1 measely tb almond butter
apple
i think thats about 8-10points??
tons of water (hate water..)
Allee: you really just have to realize that no matter how much exercise you do you have to always watch what you eat unfortunately (i wish it were otherwise)

Wendy,
Do you mind giving me a samle of your meal plan?
1) coffee w/half n half (pre-work out), banana (post work out)-1 point
2) bagel thin w/1 tb nat pb, large apple (breakfast)-6 points
3) turkey on deli flat w/pretzels, pickle, 4 oz blueberries/blackberries and 2 tbpns ff cool whip for dipping (lunch)-8 points
4) smallish salad (veggies only) w/2 tbspns of ff dressing, 4 oz cherries, small plum (snack)-1 point
5) 4 oz red wine, ? (dinner), ? (dessert)-13 points
(I had actually already posted it above but you must not have seen it. Hope it helps a bit.)
ETA:: My dinner varies all the time but for dessert, WW and Skinny Cow desserts are fabulous for only 1-2-3 points a piece and keep me in my DP range! I splurged over this past w/e tho and bought a pint of Ben and Jerry's low fat frozen yogurt. It's 5 pts for a serving which is a lot for dessert but this is a splurge that will not happen often. I will eat it as long as it doesn't take me to more then 31 points for the day and ONLY if I have AP's or WP's to put towards it in that case.

No truer words have ever been spoken! Wether we like it or not!
You gals have been busy little posters today!! Finally getting caught up!
I went a little overboard with dinner...croutons in the salad, 2 PP jello pudding dessert and my hubby cooked the salmon with a mayo-based lemon/dill sauce. Total points for the day was 39. More than I wanted but the crunchy croutons were sooo good. It's hard breaking my no "flour, sugar, fried food" challenge. (the pudding was sugar free ) Since we all posted our stats, I'm 5'1" a real shorty...my highest weight was 136 lbs, but I've been down to 120 before but really my goal is 110, however, I weighed that before I really got into lifting weights, so maybe 115 is more realistic, but all in all, I'd be content at 120, I think 115 might be too hard to maintain.
Steph....I only exercise early on Thursdays b/c I work a different shift at work, but it's very tough since that's also my only morning to sleep in, and sometimes I choose sleep! You mentioned reading...what do you like to read? I like to read alot as well.
Allee...dont be ashamed of posting your weight. It's a number but it doesnt define who you are as a person. What's important is that you're in the game and making positive steps to a healthier you! I have to agree with Wendy as well. You cant exercise away a bad diet unfortunately, believe me I've tried! I've lost more weight before by not working out at all and being strict with my diet than when I was exercising like a mad woman and only watching my diet "so so".
Wendy...gotta love sore abs. Everytime I think about skimping on abs I think of you and it motivates me! I certainly want to see the fruits of my labor and I know I wont if I dont keep eating clean! I've only just yesterday started closely tracking again. Crossing my fingers for some more progress in the mirror soon!
I'm curious how many Activity Points everyone is getting? I track my workouts soley on minutes and level of intensity and dont seem to rack up many points.

Heya Stacy: when the hubs cooks we really can't complain about mayo can we as for reading...well i am a romance smut chick...historical, current...i really like happy endings and when i pick up a book i don't want to get a headache kwim.? i also read mysteries..jd robb, iris johansen and some vampire romance my sister passes over... I am the type who reads the end before finishing to make sure its going to end up alright...Fluff is my name...when i was younger i used to read all the prize winning ones but since i have had kids and my sons illness there is soo much depressing things in the world when i read i want happy
I never counted the activity points because i figured i always exercised before so if i want to really see a difference i shouldn't count them..
When you mentioned 110 weight i laughed sort of because the only time i weighed 110 was right after we found out my son had dmd. I was in total shock and everything i ate would give me heart burn. Everyone was asking me if i had cancer or was recovering from chemo (and i was never even weight training so i can't imagine weighing that now that i train) Even though that number sounds wonderful being referred to as having cancer is not what i call attractive...I must say at the time that i loved going on the scale and would weigh myself 2x a day to see that number i am quite obsessed with the number on the scale and would love to get over that
On a cardio note i did mma fusion and enjoyed it (surprisingly...i hated kenpo x from p90)
When i get back from italy if i still like them i will get a tracy stahel (i think thats the one you gals liked???)

Good Morning Ladies.
So I was supposed to do STS Legs this morning to finish up week 3 of meso 3 but ofcourse that didn't happen.
I ended up doing Body Rock's Wild and Free work out instead followed by STS Extended stretch. W&F is 25 (sandbag) swings per arm + 100 hi knee jump rope reps X10 rounds for time. I used a 20# kb for the swings and did the work out in just over 24 mins. OMG! Can we say pretty much puke status? OH YEAH! It was awesome! LOL
WW weigh in this morning: I stayed the same. No loss. No gain. It's all Ben & Jerry's fault! It's cool. Just hoping to see a loss next week now!
Stacy:: Yes, gotta stay on track with tracking! You can do it! Abs are still sore today and tmrw my legs will be feeling it! I usually end up earning somewhere between 25 and 30 AP's per week based on a 6 day a week work out schedule. My STS work outs are 3 AP's a piece and everything else varies.
Steph:: 110!? Lowest weight I can recall is 115. That was senior year in high school. I admit I had a giggle at your getting on the scale 2x a day just to see the scale read such a low #.
Allee:: You're welcome! We are here to help!

Good Morning Ladies,
Wendy: great job! Are you done packing? Have safe and fun trip!
Yes Allee...Done with the exception of a few last minute things! YAY! That's why STS did not get done this morning.
I was up LATE last night finishing up (mostly because I decided to go shopping at Kohl's at 8pm and wasn't done packing yet!) and was too damned tired for heavy legs this morning, not to mention the fact that I was moving too slow to fit it in. What's on your w/o agenda for today? Have your food planned out for the day?
