    Good afternoon everyone! This post will be pretty quick because I have some work related things and errands to complete. Today I completed the Burn Circuit 1 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and the Ab Ripper X dvd from the P90X program.

    I know I already posted, but I'm updating my goal to 193.9 which would be 3.5lbs away and exactly 50lbs lost since April..I've been really stuck for the past few months, slowed way down so I'm hoping that 3.5lbs in 2weeks is doable. I hope.

    I am actually thrilled that I did not go up in weight after the horrible week I had last week with sick child and no gym time and hurt knee (actually ended being my shin and a really painful bruise). Back to running this week though, YEAH!

    Well, I got in my first gym experience tonight, oddly enough, with an ex from highschool (we are still friends, as is my hubby with him so it's all good...) I did 37min on the tread.. I'm such a noob b/c I paused it on accident after my first 7min... I stayed at 4mph almost the whole time, briefly at 5.1 and as low as 3.5. We then hit the elliptical for 15min and I thought it would be the death of me..lol, but I pushed through it!! I have a free 7 day pass and I hope that in the new year I can get an actual membership. I loved the gym and I wish I had started this back in Sept!! Plus I know many people that go there which is pretty cool too :) My legs will be on fire tomorrow.. I love it!! Off to finish my water then head to bed, night all!!

    Good morning everyone! Despite TOM being in full effect and only getting about 4 hours of sleep I woke up with a lot of energy. I knocked out a couple of errands before getting the workout in but when it was time to push play I dug deeper and ROCKED IT OUT! Today I completed the Core Cardio & Balance dvd from the Insanity program AND the Fat Blaster dvd from the Chalean Extreme program. I had not completed an Insanity workout in a couple of months so I decided to throw in my favorite. The Core Cardio dvd is a great full body workout (switch kicks, squats, power jacks, push ups, burpees, plank walks, jabs etc) but I think I like it best because it does not repeat the exercises over and over like the other Insanity workouts. Once the workout was complete I had a nice hearty bowl of oatmeal w/protein powder and a small banana

    Good morning and happy hump day! I have a busy day of work and errands so this will be a quick post. Today was a strength training day so I completed the Burn Circuit 2 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and the Fast Abs dvd from the Kettleworx series. I'm trying to use my family trip to Jamaica this summer as my motivation to continue w/my ab work. I have arthritis in my lower back so ab work really aggravates it for some reason. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have week lower back muscles. Whatever the reason I tend to want to skip ab or core work but I've been making myself do it for the last few weeks and I think it's helping. When I measured it sometime last week I was 27 1/2 inches. I would love to decrease this by at least 2 inches but we'll see.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Jan 3: >>>goal 199

    I'm up a few ounces from last Fri when I weighed before being gone all weekend. However I'm happy with it since I wasn't home all weekend & didn't work out at all, then yesterday I ate out both for lunch & dinner AND I had a beer AND an ice cream cone! :laugh:

    Anyway - I redid my goal for Jan as well....there is NO WAY I'm making it to 190 by then! I've been trying to get to ONEderland for over 2 months now....so hopefully I can get there & never see the 200s again!

    So I went to the gym today (still on my free pass) and I ran a 35min 5k!!! WOOT WOOT!! I'm so stoked!! And to think I was seriously gonna quit halfway through! That's 9min off my actual 5k I ran outside!! Happy Bru Dance :drinker:

    I like having the gym access, but I don't think I'd use it as much if I knew I could use it whenever I wanted. Knowing that I only have 7days to try it makes me kill it in the gym. But that's a good thing because I'm shaking things up a bit and confusing my body. Not too much exercise for a few weeks, mostly light stuff then a few days of running and such.

    I'm not expecting a loss tomorrow, but I hope I break through shortly after the New Year

    Good afternoon everyone! This will be a quick post b/c it's a very busy work day and I have a headache. Since today was a designated cardio day I completed the Burn Intervals and Recharge dvds from the Chalean Extreme program.

    Good morning everyone and T.G.I.F.! This has been a good exercise week for me despite TOM at the beginning and lower back pain towards the end. Today was a strength training day so I completed the Burn Circuit 3 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and the Fast Abs-week 3 dvd from the Kettleworx series.

    I have no real plans for this evening but considering renting a movie. I have a lunch engagement with a college girlfriend tomorrow afternoon so we can plan a mini college reunion. While in college we (12 girls) lived in an off campus boarding house and became great friends. We've since relocated to different areas of the U.S. and haven't had an opportunity to get together as a total group since 1998 so 2011 is the designated year. My girlfriend and I have already started the planning process so we're meeting tomorrow for updates. I'm really excited about the opportunity for all of us to gather again. The biggest difference this time around is that many of them now have spouses and children so it will be an awesome experience.

    I've been invited to a holiday party Saturday evening but do not think I'll be attending because I don't have the appropriate attire and don't feel like going shopping and spending extra money.

    Sunday my book club members and I will have brunch and discuss our book readings and outings for the upcoming year. We ways have a great time so I am really looking forward to that. Otherwise it will be a pretty low key weekend.

    Good morning all! Today was a boot camp day and as always I had a great time. We did a variety of circuits (kettleball swings, weighted squats, shoulder presses, windmills, bent over rows, push ups, reverse lunges, burpees, mountain climbers etc.) and I was able to get a great burn. It's a bit rainy this morning so I'm going to relax before I meet up w/my college girlfriend.

    Have a great day everyone!

    It's been a great workout week but today my book club members and I had our annual Christmas brunch and I ate everything I desired (including dessert and two mimosas) with no guilty feelings at all. Today I completed the P90X stretching dvd from the P90X program and once again it was definitely needed because my body was a bit tight from this week's workouts.

    Jan 3: >>>goal 199

    Went to a housewarming party with CJ Saturday night, and then yesterday I had my parents and sister over for my mom & sister's birthdays. I made my mom's favorite Ham & Bean soup with cornbread. So lots of sodium...:grumble: So no big surprise that I'm up a few ounces....I was down to 202.6 a few days ago however! :explode: Hopefully I will have a good loss this week!
