Check-in for Thursday
Workout:
(ChaLEAN Extreme)
Nutrition: Cal 1293 (1200) / Macro 33/30/37 (40c/20f/40p)
Water Intake: 65 oz (65+)
Didn't get my workout in AGAIN! (hang my head in shame). After cooking and cleaning up, I was totally exhausted, sat for a "minute" and never got up, in bed by 9! Nutrition and water intake was better, fat is killing me, it might be time to adjust my macros.
Not sure if anyone else uses protein supplements, found a good tasting Tropical Fruit flavor, no after taste and mixes great.
Would trully enjoy hearing from everyone...

Check-in for Saturday:
Workout: BC 2 ( four days in a row!)
I'm struggling with getting enough protein also. I am going to get some nuts to add to salads and cottage cheese in the morning. I have a vanilla whey protein shake I like, too.0 -

Nutrition: Cal 1551 (1200) / Macro 35/31/34 (40c/20f/40p)
Water Intake: 51 oz (65+)
Yah!!! Finally got my workout in! You don't realize how out of shape you are until you can't even go thru a beginner workout like ab burner, it was pathetic!
Wow, great job @ammonia!! Give you a lot of credit, not sure the last time I worked out 4 days in a row.0 -

Obviously not a good nutrition/water intake day! Need to get it together!
What whey brand do you use, @ammonia?
Does anyone else have to modify, having trouble with regaining my balance/coordination...?
How's everyone's weekend going?0 -
Check in for Sunday
Workout: BC 1
Nurition: Net 1234 (1200)
I always have a hard time with the protein. I am trying to get away from more processed food so I cannot talk myself into protein powder. So right now that is more of my focus than trying to add all the protein in. I feel like maybe that is something I will do when I get to goal weight and have more calories.
I am not sure I have to modify necessarily but I do find it hard to not over grip the weights. I think it was during BC2 that I probably could have went heavier but my forearms were really feeling it.

Today was a rest day. I didn't eat much, but that probably makes up for over eating a bit yesterday.
I'll have to check on whey brand... Hubby buys it.
I don't modify too many, but I have really good balance for how poor my core is.
For the forearms: try not using all your fingers when you curl. Its making the fist that wears out your forearm.0 -
Check-in for Sunday
Workout: BC 3
Nutrition: Cal ??? (1200) / Macro ??? (40c/20f/40p)
Water Intake: 36 oz (65+)
Got my workout in yesterday, the first week I "restart" is always difficult...getting my breathing, balance, etc back on track. Nutrition wise I was doing well up to dinner, my Papa's bday, oh well.
I do too @LessthanKris, that's why I started using protein supplements. I've always been a vegi/pasta eater and it was difficult to add any types of proteins to my daily meals.
Thanks for the support @amomono & @LessthanKris!!!!0 -
Check In for Monday
Workout: Turbo Fire 45

I look at my calories over the week so I sometimes save some for rest days or lifting days when I do not burn a lot of calories. Or to indulge later in the week if we eat out.0 -

Way to go giusa! Really good on the protein.
Today was better. I was able to go heavier and my forearms did not hurt. Just a learning process :O)0 -
Workout: 2 Mile Tuesday run intervals on Mom's Treadmill
Food wise I'm not doing great away from home. The doctor says we need to fatten up my grandmother so Mom and I took her to Applebee's for lunch and I splurged.
Down another pound though, so I'm really happy! I haven't been losing "pounds" in a while, only increments of fat (which is still great!)
Today I'm not sure what the plan is, I brought both PiYo and TF with me. Usually if I do a TF I have to walk after to "calm down." haha.
Tried to get my baby sis to do some activity with me but she said "no." boo on her

Check-In Tuesday
Workout : HIIT 20
Nutrition: Net 1133 (1200)
Needed a quick workout today and this sufficed :O)
Giusa- I hope he is okay! That has to be so scary!
Pipsg1rl- travel makes this whole thing so hard. I am still working off weight I gained during our vacation to Florida in mid December. Awesome you are still getting your workouts in!0 -
Way to go!
Workout: Burn If Off
Calories: 1680 net (1500)
Movie night at a brewhouse with friends... Not too bad considering. I would have been fine had I not splurged on a mocha in the morning. Two mini splurges in one day isn't the best... But the workouts are going great!0 -

Check-in for Thursday
Workout: Push Circuit 1
Nutrition: Cal 1048 (1200) / Macro 39/23/38 (40c/20f/40p)
Water Intake: 53.5 oz (65+)
Thank you ladies. My son didn't get hurt but the car was totaled.
So excited, was able to complete entire circuit without modifications last night AND will need to up weights! I’m sure it has to do with no compound movements (compound movements are my enemy!).
Thinking of a goal, do you have goals? The only thing I know is that my ultimate goal is to lower BF%.0 -
Wednesday - No activity, worked on getting mom set up for surgery this morning. Diet was not the greatest. I think I'm dehydrated.
Today she had surgery and is resting, so she's asked me to help organize my sister's room. About to do that and figure out a workout for later.
hugs,

Check In for Thursday
Workout: BC 3
Nurition: net 1105 (1200)
Pipsg1rl, hope your mom is on the mend and feeling better!
The goals I have set this year:
For January: Get back in the final 10 lb range. I gained some during the holidays. So far I am right on track. Only 1.6 lbs to lose.
By the end of March: Complete this round of CLX and be down to the final 5 lbs. I know with this program sometimes it is inches and not lbs lost so I would be happy if I dropped down a size or my belly could get flatter.
So those are the fitness goals through this program. I am also cutting back on sugar and highly processed food. I love to bake so I will never truly get away from sugar and white flour but I have found some good recipes using wheat flour and maple syrup so I am improving some of what we eat.0 -
Workout: BC1
Nutrition 2059 (1500)
My nutritional choices have not been the best lately. I need to do much better.0 -
Thank you, she had her gall bladder removed in the ER a few weeks back so this appointment was to have the stent removed. She seems to be doing just fine but it may be the pain meds/anesthesia wearing off.
Worked on my sister's room for 4.5 hours yesterday. I thought she'd be excited but she was just angry
No workout and had Po Folks for dinner. Didn't realize how much sodium are in Fried Green Tomatoes and Red Beans and Rice! Ugh. (I love "salty" foods but it upsets me when there is all that secret sodium!)
Planning to get some movement in today and definitely tomorrow.
@LessthanKris - I'm glad that you know 5 pounds and inches are not the same. The closer I get to goal, the more I realize that's how it goes.

@Pipsg1rl, I’m so glad your Mom is doing well. Gotta luv family drama, I’m sure in some way your sister appreciated the help.
I’m impressed at your goals @LessthanKris!!! You can tell that you have a plan on how to reach it! You’re giving me inspiration to finalize mine.
@Pipsg1rl is right, in the two plus years with MFP I’ve learned that scale weight, 1200 cals and cure all cardio are a MYTH.
We all have those days @amomono! Yesterday and today I woke up hungry with stomach growling, it’s like I can’t eat enough to satisfy!
What weeks are you in @LessthanKris and @amomono? I’m in week one of Push Circuit.
Not sure if I will be able to check in this weekend, if not have a great weekend and see you on Monday.

Check in for Friday
Workout: Fire 30
Nutrition: Cal ??? (too much)
Well, the good news is I forced myself to workout. This morning we had to bring my dog to the vet for a dental cleaning and teeth extractions, then off to take my son to Gymboree, and then went to take the kids bowling. Went home for lunch quickly and it was time to pick up the dog so I finally got home around 3:30. I completely did not feel like working out but I figured I could keep a good eye on the dog while keeping him in the room with me and I got it in. I felt so glad I did because...
Bad news- we ate out at a local restaurant for dinner so really not sure of how many calories were consumed. Good thing I had 922 calories left for today and 322 that I banked this week. Softens the blow a little bit!
I just finished Week 2 today. This two weeks have gone by really fast.
Giusa-I think setting specific goals has made me so much more motivated and holds me accountable to myself.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Rest day for me tomorrow!0 -

Ok, I'm back in Houston to a nice surprise from my husband.... He bought a TV to replace one so I can have the old TV in our garage gym. We just need to decide where to hang it. Next step is a DVD player.
Fat % down, but weight slightly up. Had hibachi dinner last night, so I'm not surprised.
Diet bet is on day 22, it's 4 weeks long, so I'd better get cracking!

I so wanted to snack today but was happy I kept it under control!
How many of you are working out with the Selectechs? I have the adjustable weights that you have to change the plates on by screwing and unscrewing the clamps. It feels like it adds so much time to the workout, although I am sure the breaks are helpful. I just can't justify spend $300 plus dollars on weights to shave off what is really probably less than five minutes. They do seem nice even though they look gigantic.0
