Thanks GIUSA for being a part of this group!!!

I burned a lot of calories working the new training horse. I think I should charge the ones who try to work with their horse before they bring them to training as it is MUCH harder work as they end up spoiling them, making my job twice as hard.

Sweat and concentrated training brings results.

Check-in for Tuesday

Workout: 65 squats with 12 lb weight
Nutrition: Cal 882 (1460) / Macro 36c/29f/35p (40c/25f/35p)
Water: 36 oz (min of 60.5)

Started a squat challenge just to get my body active. Macros are better but didn't realize how low my cals were until I wrote this - Wow, half of what I should have eaten.

Teresa, always luv hearing about your horses. That alone must be physically exhausting!!!
After I recovered from being thrown by a spooked horse while taking lessons, I always said I would go back but never did.

1) Report into the Group = 1 pt
2) Complete the workout that was scheduled for the day 1 pt (Accelerator)
3) Drink 1/2 your weight in Water = 1 pt

Wow, I really got my sweat on with Accelerator. I bought a new pair of shoes, cross trainers, and they say in P90X3 intro that you should NOT buy running shoes and should be court shoes. Well I know why now as the side to side moves like speed skaters really needs support for your foot going left and right, so these shoes will be taken back and I will buy basketball shoes.

@Giusa - I started weighing my food again and I can see even eating healthy food I have gone a little overboard on. You should really try to get your calories up and hit your macros. What are your macros? I changed my macros from 30/40/30 to 40/40/20 as I want to shed more fat in my middle section.

Sweat and concentrated training brings results.

Teresa, not sure what happend tuesday, checked my log and I ate every 2 1/2 hrs..the only thing I noticed is that I ate a salad for lunch and dinner, I think thats what brought it down so much.
This squat challenge has given me the motivation I needed, I'll keep logging my food and start P90 on Monday. My macros are 40c/25f/35p. Don't want to loose weight, my goal is to turn flab to muscle.

First time doing Decelerator, wow, some of the moves are really hard, like crane pushups. Good thing I'm doing core exercises with P90X3 as the colt I'm training is juking and jiving at a lope, so my core is getting quite the workout and protecting my back.

P90X3 Yoga and Ab Ripper X3 for me today. My hamstrings, shoulder and elbows were thanking me for the Yoga!!!

My goal is to drink 1 gallon of water a day. I'm still working on it. For lunch I had a spinach salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, chicken breast, black olives, and honey mustard dressing dipped my fork in and didn't pour it on my salad.

tmcoyle

This week I started another round of P90X3, Mon did accelerator, Tues = Warrior, Wed = Yoga, Thurs = CVX, Friday (today) = Isometrix. My eating has been much better this week and back on track with my macros and total calories.

tmcoyle

Why do you exercise? Is it to lose weight? Recover from injury? Or do you do it because you love it? Your motives for pushing play or lacing up your shoes could have more of an effect than you think.

In a recent paper (spanning three different studies), researchers from both Cornell and New Mexico State University found a correlation between the way people categorize their physical activity and how much food they consume after. Those who found a workout to be fun consumed far fewer hedonic snacks (food eaten for pleasure, such as chocolate) and food in general as compared with those who viewed exercise as nothing more than that.

The first study sent two groups of people on a walk. The first group was told the walk was fun whereas the second group was told the walk was exercise. After the walk, participants had access to a free buffet. Those who were in the exercise group ate far more than the fun control group.

In the second study, participants participated in the same walking trial (fun or exercise), only this time they were given M&M’s. Like the first experiment, those who were told the walk was exercise ate more (this time over 200 more calories of M&M’s) than the fun control group.

For the last study, researchers observed people after a race (231 runners participated in the study, ranging in age from 16 to 60). The findings were consistent with the previous two studies; the runners who had more fun running the race chose healthier food options than those who didn’t, tending to eat less.

This is big news for people trying to lose weight or even for those trying to eat healthy. Simply labeling your exercise as fun could cut down on the number of calories you eat post workout. As for why, the researchers found that when you view a workout as fun, it takes your attention away from the effort of physical activity. The researchers also speculate that if you are internally motivated during a workout, you will be more energized, and are more likely to eat better after.

So before you begin your next workout, think about how you can make it fun. Try listening to music or finding a workout buddy who will help you enjoy that burpee and push-up routine just a little bit more.

Saturday - doubles P90X3 Agility X & Isometrix - nutrition was really, really bad, making lefse, eating lefse, driving most of the day and eating supper at what we thought was a good restaurant and should have left to eat somewhere else as they didn't have any salads, just fried foods. My stomach growled at me all the way home.

Sunday - 30 min run on the treadmill and P90X3 Dynamix - nutrition was much, much better, two Shakeology shakes to get my stomach back to normal after eating yucky food yesterday.

Hi Teresa, I finally made it over here! Wow, there's a lot of new information since I've last visited, will have to investigate...I almost didn't find this thread, not used to the new format. I’m sure your stomach was NOT happy with you on Saturday! Glad to see you’re back on track.

My Goal for December was to log my food and increase my water intake. And get back to strength training three times a week.

I'm doing good with logging, missed a few days but I'm ok with that. Need to work on increasing water intake. Haven't started the strength training, not good! Looking back at my previous post, I’m officially a yoyo!

Thank you for inviting me, hoping to use this thread for accountability.

MARCH 1ST, day 1 of the Cursty Challenge



1. What are you grateful for today?
2. Post what your workout is for today along with the curtsies.
3. Give a positive comment to the one who posted above you?

Grinage1027

ERG! A little behind I couldn't find this on my phone so I will take off with the curtsy challenge tomorrow! Do you think it is a good idea to pack all three days into one day or just start at day 3 or from the beginning and go into April a little bit with it? Today I am grateful for my family. My husband is my rock and my kids are my everything, no words can express how much I love my family. Today I completed 21DF Total cardio and Pilates fix, will start challenge asap! Couldn't find post super super anxious about being behind but it will all be ok.
Teresa for you my dear.... what first we find impossible, we later deem unlikely and eventually accept as inevitable.
