raindancer

I was under on my calories yesterday or at least I did not eat my exercise calories.:bigsmile:

I did 25 wall pushups, 50 lunges, and 25 squats and 1 hr aqua..

Great day! I hope today is as good.

Hope everyone is doing well (((HUGS)))

raindancer - it sounds like you are right back at it and doing GREAT!!! Already down 3lbs.. so proud!! I need to take that motivation you have and get my butt to do the extra strength training stuff ex. lunges, push ups. I am going to make a chart right now so I can check it off when I am done!!

I went to the gym yesterday and did 30 mins on the eliptical.. and today did 32 mins on the treadmill (about 5 walking 27 running)

Fantastic Raindancer you are well on your way woot woot!!

raindancer

I have had a good week so far. made it to aqua twice and plan to go tonight. I started doing my lunges and squats in the pool again. Also went back to the wall pushups.
I went 55 calories over yesterday but that a lot better than I was doing.
I think my little break helped.

Ive been doing really well the past few weeks exercising wise I still have to watch the late night snacking, me and my candy

It sounds like you two have been doing awesome - seems like were all on track and doing well. Let's keep it up ladies

sundinsgurl

missing my girls!!

Ive been keeping up with my exercising steady 4-5 days a week of working out!

I know I said that I was going to get started on strength training in hopes that the muscle gain will help me burn more calories and help weight loss. I did make a strength training chart of a circuit that I can do - and check off when I complete it. However, today was my first day that I actually did it! I completed it while watching t.v tonight. I am going to try and do it 3 times a week. Next time I will wear my heart rate monitor to see how many calories it burns. Perhaps I will had a bit of cardio in between to help boost my heart rate

NewImprovedCnbethea1

Sundinsgurl I saw your post it was a great circuit how many times did you do it? or do you just go through one round and be done?

Great job hanging in there 4-5 times a week you are on fire keep up the great work!!

How are things raindancer?

As for me 1 week down on insanity and I am down 2.4 going to try for the same this week also!!

sundinsgurl

Hey girls..
cnbethea - I went through the circuit 3 times. So in total I did each thing 3 times - ex. a total of 30 shoulder press

I feel like I am not getting in enough exercise since I can only do 30 mins at the gym in order to get to work on time. I gues it does add up to 2 hrs during the week, plus a soccer game Wednesday, and soon a soccer game Sundays too. I am happy that I have started strength training in the evenings while watching t.v so at least I feel like I am doing a bit more. I think I will rotate through some strength training - maybe try to do arms twice a week, and legs and abs another 2 times a week.

cnbethea - you are kickin butt with insanity so far!! You seem very motivated and thats a GREAT attitude to have - congratz on your 2.4 lbs down WOOOT WOOOT!!!!!!! More will come

ohhhhhh an accomplishment - Last week I had told myself that my late night junk snacking has to stop - I have this bad habit of going to a bulk food store called Bulk barn and walking out with candy of all kinds.. which of course I scarf down that night. Last week I put my foot down and told myself thats enough, I am not going there for a month!!!! However, today the TOM came - and all I want is chocolate.. so my b.f said he would take me since he was going out to get gas anyways. So I went with my bf to get gas - but on the way there all I could think about was how bad it is, and how awful I feel when I eat it all - and how I am working so hard and going to the gym and I dont need to ruin my hard work - so I told him not to go! He was shocked and very proud!!! YAY!!! I do have willpower

NewImprovedCnbethea1

Sundinsgurl that is a major accomplishment and I am very proud of you for not giving in. It is very hard especially around TOM but ou proved that your will power is more in control and your right you deserve better you work to hard to turn back now keep up the great work!!!

I am busting my butt in insanity this time I want to earn my T-shirt and wear it proud!!

raindancer

Hey guys,
It is a very busy time at work. I worked from 1 to 5:30 yesterday nonstop. I walked and bent and stooped but it was a slow pace so I cant track it as exercise...but I know I burned a few extra. I plan to go to aqua tonight is I don't have to work late.

You two are doing awesome. :flowerforyou:
I weighed this morning and I was down another pound but I won't change my tracker til Monday. I hope it is still down then

sundinsgurl

raindancer - congratz on loosing another pound.. way to go girl!! that ticker is moving along nicely

cnbeathea - I am so proud that you are still going with insanity, I can tell that you really want that shirt this time.

Weighed in today - after not weighing in for almost a month. Down 1.1 lbs so = a total loss now of 25 lbs I wasnt expecting a loss at all actually I was expecting a gain.. we have eaten chinese food a few times this past month. I guess I have been working out a lot so that helps to make up for it. So I can just hope for a nicer number next weigh in if I stick to my plan of avoiding chinese and my bulk food store and sticking with my 4-5, maybe 6, workouts a week.
I did my strength training circuit for arms again today.. only my second time this week, but its better than the NOTHING I was doing before. Played a soccer game last nite (we lost 2-0, it was a horrible game) than today it the gym and did a 27 min run, with a 5 min warm up and 3 min cool down.

Hoping I can get to the gym tomorrow, I dont work till 11:15am instead of my regular 7:15am start. So I might want to sleep in lol Maybe I can still sleep in but only till 8 or 8:30 and still go to the gym. I cant go over after work because I am getting my hair done than I am going to a bachelorette party. Knowing that I will be drinking that night is more of a reason for me to force my butt out of bed, but my butt also likes sleep lol We shall see!!!

NewImprovedCnbethea1

Congrats ladies on your weightloss success that is awesome keep up the great work!!

Raindancer you are well on our way to your new goal I love it I think the new ticker was just what you needed along with a renewed and refreshed attitude keep up the awesome work!!

Sundinsgurl I hope you didn't do too much damage at the party but still managed to have a great time dont know which way you decided to go if you slept in or worked out but I am sure either way your going to do great at some point and work it out 25lbs is awesome and I am sure you will hit your goal the next big weigh in!!!

sundinsgurl

I drank quite a few beers last night at the bachelorette party. Normally I drink rum and coke but since I was going to the bar I decided to drink beer instead. First time in almost 5 months... I ended up sleeping in Friday morning instead of workin out. But I made up for it today.. yes on a SATURDAY!! I worked out.. I did a 47 min walk on the treadmill with various inclines to burn 250 calories. Plus I vacuumed and dusted everything for an hour and a half. My Sunday soccer starts tomorrow! I am soooo excited, guranteed exercise on a weekend is always good!!

cnbethea - thank you and thank you for believing in my.. I think it will be a slow process to loose the last few pounds, but I am really tryin to be good eating and exercise wise so that it doesnt take tooo long

raindancer

:drinker: :drinker: The scale dropped 4 lbs. I know it is just water but I still accept it. I have been strictly logging my food and staying just barely under my calories everyday.

sundinsgurl

Wohoo raindancer - 4 lbs is amazing!!!!!! I bet some of it isnt water weight.. super awesome :):) way to stick to it, the eating part is very important.

Played soccer yesterday, worked up a HUGE sweat.. tied 2-2. Hit the gym today, did a 30 min run and 4 min warm up and 1 min cool down. I have joined the 3500 calories burned in a week challenge, so I am really going to try to burn that much. Works out to 500 cals burned a day for 7 days. It means that I will have to get in something in the evening to help reach 500 - since my 35 min workout in the morning usually only burns 250.

raindancer

I see you two are doing great. :flowerforyou:

Sundingurl: You can do that. How much does your HRM show you burn during your soccer games? I bet a bunch!

I also joined a new challenge the "Lose 50 lbs by June 1" It is doable if we lose 1.6lbs a week. I feel renewed in my comittment to get healthy.

sundinsgurl

raindancer - I definetely think you can loose 1.6 lbs a week no problemo!

I actually dont wear it during soccer, cause dont u have to wear the watch at the same time for it to transmit the info to the watch?? I am not allowed to wear a watch during a game. If I dont have to wear the watch and it can transmit from that far away (the bench to the field) than Id definetely love to try it out

raindancer

Hi,
Miss you 2. Hope you are doing well. (((HUGS)))
I have lost another lb that is 10 since 11/1 :bigsmile: I hope I have my groove now and can stay on track.

As I am from Canada we had our THanksgiving in october. Had a great weekend here, first one in a long time without any booze at all. I went shopping for a dress for my b.f's xmas party and I fit into a size 7 dress :):) simply amazing, not a 11, or 10 or even a 9

I have been doing really well with exercise, working out at least 5 times a week
