hey everyone! so i had my friend's party at the restaurant on sunday, and made sure to have 2 helpings of salad, though it was kinda drenched in balsamic dressing..and no pasta! i resisted and had some sausage and chicken. granted the chicken was breaded, but not fried. no workout on sunday either, so i was fearing the weigh-in this morning.. was super surprised to see it stayed down!! today i did Fire 45 for the first time, and loved this one just for the combo where you brush your shoulders off and move your heels first then bring your knees up. love the dance aspect of it, and of course the music is great! it's gonna be HIIT 25 tomorrow, and possibly some abs, we'll see. hope everyone had a great weekend!

Good morning! Today was my second day of the 5 Day Inferno and man it was a killer workout! Started my morning off at 3:40am, which was a little earlier than usual. My puppy didn't even want to get up and go potty, usually he's jumping off the bed and waiting on me while I get in my workout clothes, but this morning I had to pick up his lazy bum and carry him. Then it was Fire 45, HIIT 20, and Stretch 10. Once I got done I felt good and was amazed that I actually kept my energy level up for the entire thing:bigsmile: . The eating hasn't been bad at all like I half expected it to be. It's just a longer process than usual preparing everything, I usually bring my own lunch anyway, I just usually don't have to slice and dice half of it. But if its better for me in the long run, I'm willing to make the switch.

Tomorrow is Fire 55 EZ and Stretch 10 so I won't have to get up quite as early. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually my long days at work, but I'm out earlier tomorrow because one of the physicians here that I work with teaches a weightloss class every Wed and has asked me to speak at it tomorrow. I'm really nervous and don't enjoy speaking in public so WISH ME LUCK:blushing: !

mmtiernan

swinnie - that's a real pat on the back to be asked to speak on weight loss!! Now you know that you've done a great job and it's been clearly noticed!! That physician clearly has great respect for all of your hard work! Congratulations and I know you'll do great! Can I ask what you typically pack for lunches and snacks? I'm always on the lookout for great ideas, if you'd like to share! (If not, no worries!) Be sure to let us know how your speech goes!! - Michelle

mmtiernan

ok, workout done! Wow, that was a killer! HIIT 20, Sculpt 30 and Abs 10! Great workout! Hope all you ladies had a good workout and are pushing that play button!

Now I'm off to Costco to get some good grub! I miss my hummus wraps! Yummmm!!!

Have a great day girls! Rock it!

Deb

Heh - for a second there I thought you were going to the Costco FOOD COURT and was gonna give you a hard time about it! :bigsmile:

After much convincing :noway: of myself I got my Turbo Fire 55 EZ and Stretch 10 done! I also did Ab Jam and walked for an hour. My biceps are really sore from Push 1 yesterday. Its been a while since I did the Push Circuit but I gotta tell you I like the pain. makes me feel like I worked hard. :happy:

I'm just full of motivation this week... a hot date on Friday will do that to a girl. I did Fire 55EZ today and its always such a good workout! I burned 530 calories for the whole thing and it helped to loosen up my tight thigh muscles from yesterday's Sculpt 30. That workout is no joke!!! Tomorrow I think is gonna be HIIT 20 or 25 and Tone 30. I didn't even know these Tone 30 and Sculpt 30 workouts existed, but it'll be nice to do them for a few weeks to keep the strength routine going.

Good evening ladies! Late workout for me today; I did Fire 55 EZ and I just can't get enough of that one! I love it!

Swinnie: way to go on getting up at the crack of dawn girl! I used to get up at 4:15am to get my workouts in when I was working full time; gotta do what you gotta do! Kudos to you! And what a compliment to be asked to speak, you'll do great!

Michelle: lol....no way I wouldn't go to the Costco food court! As I was walking in, some guy was walking out with one of the giant sundaes! Come on!!! I just wanted to hand him a Shakeology sample! lol

Robin: Way to go on the workouts! How are you liking the Push phase? It's not my favorite but I do love lifting heavy!

Sara: Woo hoo!!!! Have a blast on your date girl, you look incredible! You'll blow him away! Keep up the good work! I will be doing HIIT 25 tomorrow as well and I think I'll throw in my BBL for good measure too!

Have a great evening girls and keep rockin it! We will just cruise through the holidays without temptation!

Hi ladies! I loved Turbo Jam so much that I convinced myself I could do Turbo Fire.

I recently rec'd Turbo Fire & I'd love to join this motivated group. I love Chalean positive energy! I've been doing Turbo Fire for about 3 weeks now. I can do so much more now than before. I haven't lost a lot of weight (only a couple of pounds - but I feel a lot less "jiggly" than before) because my eating habits have been horrible.

I'm back to consistently tracking my calories here on MFP.

Today is Fire 45 EZ or 45 Class. I just depends on how much energy I have when I get home.

ddavies919

Morning ladies! OMG!!! So, this was my first time doing HIIT 25!!!! I think there's more plyometric work in this workout than there is in the P90X Plyo video! WOW!!! :noway: I also did Sculpt 30 and I am loving how my body is just feeling smaller all together! Woo hoo!!! Now, I'm sipping on my Shakeology, trying to make it last! lol

gdivant: Welcome to the group! So glad to have another Turbo girl! I feel the same way you do, haven't lost a lot of weight but I feel more firm, love it! Keep tracking your intake, it'll definately help. Keep us posted on your progress and have a great workout today!

Sara, Nancy, Robin, Sharon and all the other lovely girls, hope you're having a great day! Keep at it and keep pushing play!

I had a good day. After walking for an hour I did Core 20, Push Circuit 2 and then Fire 30. I love the Push Circuits. Last round it was my favorite circuit. This time my elbow is bad so it isn't quite as much fun.

00trayn

I didn't think it would be possible, but Tone 30 is harder than Sculpt 30!!! And both were harder than Push in CLX! WOW! My arms are in painnnnnn after that one, I was failing by 12 reps after every exercise. I will definitely have guns when I"m done with this program! I'm not a huge fan of HIIT 25 tho, for some reason my coordination was lacking today or something. I prefer HIIT 20. I'm sure my neighbors below me prefer HIIT 20 as well... haha. Lots of plyo in HIIT 25! Still got a great working.

And as of today, I'm a Team Beachbody Coach! I've got my Shakeology coming in the mail, I'm quite excited.

ddavies919

Robin: Wow girl, you just continue to kick butt! Way to go! You inspire me!

Sara: I've done Tone 30 too and it does seem harder. I wasn't a big fan either of HIIT 25 but it was nice to do something I hadn't done before. And congrats on joining Team Beachbody! Welcome to the family! :drinker: (he's drinking Shakeology! lol)

I just wasn't feeling it today. I did manage to walk briskly on the treadmil incline 4 and speed 4.5 for an hour and then did Xtreme Abs. I wanted to do fire 45ez but just never got around to it and I really don't feel like it today. For some reason Thursdays are really hard for me to stay motivated.

Trying to get over some crud, so no workouts in the past 3 days. Been hitting the sack before 8:00 p.m. and getting 9+ hours of sleep. I'm sleeping like a baby, so I obviously need it. Hoping whatever is trying to get a grip on me goes away!

00trayn

I got my Fire 45EZ in last night, I wasn't really feeling it, for some reason that workout isn't one of my favorite. I still adore Fire 45 and Fire 55EZ the most. My HRM was also acting up, it kept losing it's signal. Sometimes it does that but it kept making me stop and fiddle with it. I don't think I'll get a workout tonight. I'm all showered and my hair is straightened for my birthday date! So far I'm having a great day, and tonight should be even better!!! I can't wait to see my guy I also got my Coach getting started interview last night for Beachbody. I'm all set to go with hopefully getting things going. Hope everyone is having a great day!!

ddavies919

Hi girls! Well, today was HIIT 20 and Tone 30 for me. Tone 30 kicks butt man!!!!! Way harder than Sculpt 30! I love it! I really like the simplicity of HIIT 20 and it still gives you a killer workout.

The eating is going good and I had my favorite lunch today! I make a hummus wrap, it's soooo good!!! Then, I have an apple and peanut butter! Yummmmm!!!

Robin: Hope you had a good workout today!

glfprncs: I hope you get to feeling better but stay up with that rest, your body does need it, it's the best thing when you're not feeling well.

Sara: I'm so excited for you! Tonight's the date night! Woo hoo!!! I hope you have a great time girl!

Keep up the good work ladies!

hey everyone, ugh this week i've been a bum, no logging food, didn't exercise as much as i usually don, and have been snacking more than normal.. granted it's the TOM, but also just me being lazy i guess. i worked 5 nights in a row, and if you work night shift, you'll know how tiring it can get. trying to snap myself outta the mood and get back on the wagon for the weekend.. have a good one everybody!

ddavies919

Hey girls, rough weekend for me. I was exhausted! And, the kicker.........I woke up and it hurt to swallow!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!! I need to feel better by Friday! I have 2 parties to go to!!!! I started taking Zinc, I'm going to use my nettie pot and get some Zyrtec D!!!! And lots of liquids!

Today I have HIIT 20 and Tone 30 and think I wish push through! I'm not going to over do it though.

Hope you girls had a great weekend!!!

Hi Girls - I'm back from vacation. Started week 14 of TFso on tap this morning was TF 30 and Upper 20. BB said I burned 339 calories.

Gained 2 lbs during vacation but the evil scale said that, as of this morning, not only did I lose the 2 lbs but I also lost another 0.6 lbs on top of that! We did so much walking that I needed a vacation from my vacation just to somewhat recover! Carmel was beautiful...our hotel was about 3 blocks from the ocean so every morning we would take Cocoa and walk there and then go about an hour along Scenic Drive (which runs along the coast). We spent most afternoons walking around downtown Carmel so, needless to say, the exercise was plentiful! Happy to be home and back to my routine though....there's only so many meals I can eat out before I start missing the normalcy.

Hope you all had a great week while I was gone. Look forward to hearing about your progress!
Sharon

Sounds like an awesome vacation, Sharon! I've been to Carmel before, that Scenic Drive is beautiful. I went on a day tour that stopped in Carmel and Monterrey when I lived in Palo Alto,CA for a summer. Carmel is the cutest town, my friend just kept going "awwwww" at everything.

I'm planning to get in HIIT 20 and Sculpt 30 today after work. Last week Sculpt 30 had me sore for dayssss, I'm hoping my body has adjusted and it won't be that bad this time. I need to make up for my limited workouts this weekend, at least official workouts. I did have my date Friday and then I shopped on Sunday for 2+ hours at the mall... those things count as workouts, right??? hehehe

mrsfloisand

Hello ladies! So I have to apologize first off for my lack of communication since I've started this thread! I am usually pretty good to post most of the work week since I usually have a computer at work to get on. I think with the whole five day inferno and the nerves of talking on Wednesday got the best of me, I swear I haven't been as worn out as I was last week in a really really long time! But, I do promise to keep everyone updated on how things are going from here on out.

First things first, want to say thanks to all who supported me with my talk I did on Wednesday. It was a little nerve racking, but I kept telling myself that I shouldn't be nervous and that I should be so excited that people wanted to hear my story and that I could help others. It went really well. I planned to speak for about 10 to 15 min and ended up speaking for about 30 min. People had tons of questions about my daily routine and my menu for a typical day. I made sure I took my before and after pics and some recipes to pass out that were good healthy favorites. I really enjoyed the experience and really hope to do more things similar to that in the future.

Recap of last week: did the five day inferno and have to say that I did get better results than I was expecting, but by no means as good as those in the pamplet:ohwell: . My weight went from 145.4 lbs to 142.8 lbs and I lost about 5 inches throughout the five days. The food was great and I wasn't really hungry throughout the week. The hard part was finding the energy to workout Wednesday morning (which could be due to me staying up late stressing on Tuesday night about my talk) and Thursday morning felt some pain in my back that prevented me from being able to do both workouts. Friday I had a ton of energy when I worked out weather it was due to the fact that the stress was over with or that I knew it was my last chance workout, either way, it was great!

Saturday I woke up and decided to do a long good cardio burn early so I did Fire 60.

My husband suggested that I give my body a rest day yesterday, which I think really helped me get my energy level stable and back to normal again.

This morning is my offical start to the Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme Hybrid routine so I did the scheduled Stretch 40 and added a Fire 30 to that for a little more cardio.

Hope everyone's day is going great!

I love mondays. today was an hour on the treadmill, Push 1, Fire 30 and then Zumba Abs for fun. I love Push. I just wish my DVD wasn't all messed up. oh well.

Prixy

Hello to all, I'm new here, I just signed up today and the real reason is because I found that most of you are doing the hybrid and I really want to start it.. This is my 2nd round of CLX, I started it last week and I already feel the changes in my body, I ♥ it!!!

I'll tell you a lil' bit about my story so you understand why I'm here: When I was in high school I had my ideal weight but not the ideal physical condition...then I got out and gained 60lbs in 4 years due to lack of exercise and plenty of junk food because with my job and college I didn't make time for anything else, so when I realized that my health was in danger I started TJ and CLX, and I've lost 33lbs since then, that was on May 2009; now I still have 33 lbs to lose and I'm getting married on Dec 18th!!! I know, very soon!! :ohwell: and I'm really excited but i'd like to lose at least 10-15lbs in these 2 months so I'm eating a lot of healthy food and doing CLX, but I already got TF, so I was wondering first of all, if someone could tell me what the calendar for the Hybrid would be? and second, if I could get your support?

Thank u all 4 reading!:flowerforyou:

telcochik

Prixy - welcome to our little group of shrinking women. I will absolutely support you in your efforts and I'm sure my fellow posters will reply the same way. I haven't done the hybrid, right now I'm just doing TF; however, I plan to start it once I complete the last 7 weeks of this program. I've done CLX on its own and loved it but my body seems to respond better to cardio for weight loss than weight lifting. The hybrid may be exactly what I need to do to maintain my weight loss while tightening up all over.

I'd like to see a calendar for the hybrid as well because the one that came with TF seems to indicate doing 1 month of TF and then 1month of CLX which I don't like. I'd rather mix and match the 2 programs to rotate cardio and weights every other day.

Best of luck to you in your program. If there's any question you need answered let us know. Between us I'm sure we'll have an answer!

I am rougly following the hybrid. I took the TF schedule and added burn circuits the first 3 weeks and then Push the next three weeks recovery week and then lean for the next three weeks. so I do CLX circuts mon, wed & Firday. I do TF mon - saturday but not tone or sculpt until later. I also do abs 5 days a week. Monday I do Zumba Abs, Tuesday is Ab Jam, wednesday is core 20, thursday is xtreme abs and Friday is Ab Burner. So I guess i sort of created my own hybrid. this is my schedule for this week. I walk an hour a day on the treadmill too.

25-Oct 26-Oct 27-Oct 28-Oct 29-Oct 30-Oct
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

Push 3 and HIIT 25 today - WHEW... I LOVE LOVE LOVE the push phase and i am so much stronger now than i was in my first round - went as heavy as chalean on almost every one!!!

And HIIT 25 plyo kills me but it is a great workout

not to mention the leaf raking i did outside so my two little ones could have a ginormous leaf pile to jump in and play after school...

WHEW

ddavies919

Well, as much as I didn't feel like it due to not feeling so hot, I pushed play and I'm glad I did! Maybe I sweated this crud out of me! lol

I did HIIT 20 and Tone 30 and it felt great! I got a good calorie burn!!! Woo hoo!!!

Swinnie: Hey girl! Glad to have you back! I knew you'd do great with your talk! So proud of you! It's great to be able to share your journey with others and help move them towards their goals! I think you did great with the Inferno plan! Everyone is different; I didn't lose a lot either but it's really to get your body ready for the program, so good job and welcome to the hybrid!!!! You'll do great!

Prixy: Welcome to the thread, so glad to have you! Congrats on the weight loss and congrats on the upcoming wedding! Thank you for sharing your story with us; we've all got our own and it's nice to be able to lean on others for support and motivation and you've come to the right place! In your Turbo Fire guidebook, you should find the schedule for the hybrid. Let me know if you have any questions. You can always play around with it to make it work for you like Sharon said, she'd rather have every other day be resistence etc. You'll find what works for you too. Again, welcome and I look forward to your posts!

Sharon: Welcome back girl!!! So glad to hear your vacation was great! I've never been to Carmel, but I'd love to! Way to get back at it too! Woo hoo!

Robin: Way to keep bringing it girl! You rock!!!

Well, I'm all sweaty (sorry, TMI) and I'm hungry! I worked up an appetite! See you girls in the a.m.! Have a great evening!

Oh, I almost forgot!

Sara: how was your date girl?!!!!

00trayn

Hahaha. The date went AMAZINGLY well. We went to dinner in Alexandria (thai food, my favorite!) and then we walked along the waterfront that's there. Then we went to the bar in DC and met up with my friend Dana from high school. The three of us had a fun time just chatting and hanging out. Then we went back to his place. He's definitely a keeper. Things are definitely going in the right direction, I just have to wait another painful 2 weeks to see him again since I'm going to California for 4 days this weekend.
