Arrgh....still at work and lilkely will be for another 30-45 min. Really wanted to hit the gym, however if I'm not getting home until after 8 p.m., my motivation goes down down down. Am not counting it out, but am saying...ehhhh.0

Gals, I'm just now leaving work. Boo to being all busy again. I am also likely NOT going to the gym. Hmmm, since we are in our busy season I may need to rethink my workout plan. I did really well going in the morning in the spring, it might be time to be an early riser again....0

i just did some intense jogging doing lounges squats. arms and legs lifts for 34 min.s how do i calculate how many cals. s i burned?0
-
Jade - beyond checking the database, I suggest googling or wearing a heart rate monitor. That's all any of us do!
My presentation ended up going surprisingly well, even though I received a MOST unwelcome visitor this afternoon - TOM is here like 8 days early!!! It explains why I've been so unbearably b!tchy/grouchy the last few days, but I am not thrilled that it's early.
Though I suppose that it's better to have it now than next week when I'm on a school trip on planes and buses and stuff.
Here's today's check in:
Cals - 673 under
Exercise - week 6 day 2 of C25K! 20 minutes of running plus 13 minutes of walking.
Water - 6ish cups
Sodium - 493 under
Proud - (1) I did week 6 day 2 and didn't stop. (2) The presentation went well. (3) I had an insanely hectic day yet managed to both exercise and eat well.0 -
Lauren you look freaking amazing!!! Wow!!! Keep it up girl!!0

Morning!
Can I say my legs are killing me this morning. Yesterday's jello legs are todays painful.can't.walk. legs. I am still going to *try* to do day 2 of Shred. My abs also hurt but not as much as my legs...ugh! Can I take something that would hlep alleviate the pain? I am planning on doing the Shred @ 11am.. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated?
Have a nice day!0 -
Purple, glad you had a good day!
Jess, thanks love!
Pos, make sure you are adding stretching to the Shred. Jillian does not include enough stretching at the end of that routine -especially after all those darn squats!
Checking in for yesteday:
Cals - Over by 268. 1619
Water - 88 oz
Exercise - Walked for 35 min total yesterday. When I knew I wouldn't make it to the gym, I got off the subway a stop early and walked a mile home. This in addition to the usual walking I do to and from the train each day brought me to 35 min of activity. Since every bit of exercise counts, I say I met day 1 of this challenge for this week. Sound right Julie?
Proud - That I made the choice to walk home and I went out of my way to make the walk longer. Wish I would have made some smarter choices in terms of eating, but oh well. We've got lots of leftovers (burgers, potato casserole, baked beans) here at home and I can't stand letting those go to waste. I suppose I could do some smaller portions....but they are so tasty!
Whoa - am watching the Today show and Bob Harper is on wearing LEATHER CARGO PANTS. WHAT??!? Not OK Bob, not OK.0 -
Absolutely, Lauren!
PosMe-- Like Lauren suggested, add stretching. As for today, I suppose you could take some ibuprofen & put a heating pad on your legs. I worry about taking pain medicine prior to working out though. If you're hurting that badly, you really don't need to work through it. That's a good way to really injure yourself, you know? If you need to take it easy today, do.
Purple -- Hooray, presentation & C25K! Boo, TOM!
09.20.10
Calories: 1788 (goal 2015) = reasonable 700-800 calorie deficit
Exercise: 40 minutes elliptical; 15 minutes strength training upper body. 25% of challenge met.
Water: 10 cups
Proud: I went to the gym! I'm feeling some motivation to workout coming back. Eating healthy(ish) during the week is pie for me. Now I just need to get my weekends under better control again & I'm all set.0 -
Lauren-I haven't see Bob on the Today show but by the sounds of that it is NOT okay!!
POS Me-I say skip the shred DVD today and do light cardio. Just go for a walk. Don't sit cause you will definitely stiffen up. But I wouldn't push through it and do the shred. Give your body some time to recover. It's been awhile since you did any intense working out.
C9/20
Calories: 1379ish..had to make guesses on dinner
Water: 4 cups, I suck!
Exercise: NONE..
Proud: Not really..missed working out AND not drinking enough...TOM arrived last night and I just got lazy. And I burned my entire backside in the tanning bed last night. The lady put me in too long. Not okay for this pasty white girl! No excuse. MUST workout tonight after dinner thingy for work! Someone hold me to this!0 -
Good morning friends!
Jess- I really did not net good at all, I was like 1,000 over WITH excercise calories. So far this morning so good. Ugh, sorry to hear about the tanning bed incident, that sounds painful!
Pos me- like Julie said Ibuprofen and heating pad will help. Maybe you should take today off or just do light activity?
Lauren- left overs suck! I threw away a good amount of food yesterday simply because I knew if it was in the house I would eat it. I hate wasting food like that though.
As for me....I officially sign up for the biggest loser competition at the gym today. Its kind of a big deal because even though its $40 bucks, thats $40 I dont really have. But I am looking at it as an investment into my future because I sure need the motivation. And what better to motivate me than defending my BL title? My hard core goal is to be 185 by the end of the competition, but my you did good goal is 190. I weighed in at 206.4 today. I usually take 2 weeks to detox from all the crap I eat so in 2 weeks I should have a better gauge of what weight I am actually at.0 -
HAPPY BIGGEST LOSER RETURNS DAY!!!!!
IM REALLY EXCITED CAN YOU TELL!? :laugh: :happy: :happy: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Hi ladies!
I've been hiding lately... feeling a little unorganized. I wouldn't call it unmotivated and eating terribly... I just haven't felt motivated to eat really well. haha. I missed (skipped) the third day of couch25k on Friday and instantly felt awful about it. It's taken me a few days to reconvince myself that it's okay. No one is going to throw me into weight loss jail.
So I'm feeling better today! I've planned out my food for the day and hope to get in a little bit of a work out in before I have to get ready for class.0 -
HAPPY BIGGEST LOSER RETURNS DAY!!!!!
IM REALLY EXCITED CAN YOU TELL!? :laugh: :happy: :happy: :drinker: :drinker:
I am sooo excited too for biggest looser returning...i can't wait !!!!!
And i am "hoping" to build a house...we are waiting on the pre-qual not sure if we qualify or not,...if we do then we are building it.0 -
Tstout- I kind felt like I would be thrown in weight loss jail too, but its not the girls that made me feel this way I am just to oahrd on myself sometimes. Im glad to see u posting I missed u all!
Deb- how exciting! When do you find out!?0 -
tstout-Were not going to throw you in weight loss jail. We miss seeing you around. Stick to your plan today, it will make you feel better.
Cris-Good job on throwing the food out. Baby steps, remember. Congrats on signing up for the BL competition. I know how competative you are! haha...are you still using your PT sessions or are those over?
It's arleady a boring morning here at work. I need some entertainment. LOL0 -
Yay for Biggest Loser returning tonight. I'm excited!
I'm really psyched up for ChaLean Extreme starting Sunday! I've read the info and have listened to the motivational CD. I'm in love with Chalene Johnson (the trainer) because she's so down to earth. She's not mean like Jillian and she's not super bubbly either. Just the right amount of encouragement and pushing I think. Hopefully I can keep up this level of enthusiasm for the next 95 days! I want to be HOT by New Years!0 -
Heahter-I'm with you. I'm excited to start Insanity and I hope I can keep up the motivation cause I want the results, like 4 months ago!! I'm excited to see what kind of results we both get. I think it'll be interesting!0
-
Heather you're already hot dear...I think you meant to say HOTTER?!
Whats ur new year goal? where u at now? I know I missed a lot...sorry0 -
Heahter-I'm with you. I'm excited to start Insanity and I hope I can keep up the motivation cause I want the results, like 4 months ago!! I'm excited to see what kind of results we both get. I think it'll be interesting!
Jess- Ill try to entertain you! What insanity? I have read other posts on MFP about it but none that actually desribed the program0 -
Cris-It's similar to P90X and supposed to be super intense but it gets results. It's 60 days and has 10 discs. It's a total body conditioning program. You don't need any extra equiptment but I guess P90X does. I don't know. I'm pretty nervous. It's a real butt kicker from what I've heard and read. I've been reading posts that other peole have posted about it. My best friends sister made her a copy of it and sent it to her but she hates workout DVD's and gave it to me. I figure it's free I have to give it a shot. It might be just what my workout needs. So Heather and I are both starting our programs on Monday and we are going to compare results.0

Deb- how exciting! When do you find out!?
Well i have these papers i have to get to the mortgage office, i am hoping within a few days after they get that...I have the perfect lot and i am hoping it is still available.0 -
Jess- that sounds great! I was planning on doing P90X whenever I got to the last 10-15lbs to lose...so around 160-165lbs to see if it would help speed it along. Def let us know how it goes. Maybe when you are done I can borrow it?
Deb- I think you get pre-approved fairly quickly within a day or two the actualy real approval may take slightly longer but not by much! Good luck0 -

Def! Or if you want it sooner I could always make you a copy. Mine's a bootleg copy. HAHA...I'm kinda irritated because a couple of people I have told that I'm gonna try it have given me less then desireable responses. One said "Isn't that intense? Like so intense people in great shape cant finish? And your attempting it" Kinda ticked me off..but gives me more motivation to give it all I've got. I've heard it's way intense but take it at your own level and speed, take breaks when you want and modify the moves not to injure yourself. I thought this was common sense in any workout DVD. Really rubbed me the wrong way. I know it's gonna be a challenge but that's what I want and need! I'm gonna need all the support I can get though.0 -

Just talked to the lady, she gave me her fed ex # so i can overnight this stuff to her (she is in the metroplex but like 45 minutes away)...she said once she gets this info she should be able to give us a prequal pretty quickly then she will move it to underwriting....once we get prequal we are going to go write up the contract, we are actually a little early on for what we need as we aren't really suppose dto move till july, but they said they can hold it up some and that they may acutally buy us out of our lease a little early....
We love this lot..it is across from the soccer field ...i am soo excited and nervous about it all.0 -
yea people can be quite dumb! I know you can do it! Im def not trying it for another 35lbs...but thats just cause when I go do my last 10-15lbs I want my body to be comepletly shocked into losing...if that makes sense?
Like if I do something really intense now, and the last 10lbs are the hardest because your body is in "done" mode then what the hell am I going to shock it into action with? so my plan was P90X but now its whatever ur doing cause I dont want to buy other stuff with it....I cant wait to hear about your results0 -
Cris-Understandable! I'd like to wait as well but my body has been stuck here for a good 3 months so I feel like this is what it needs, at least I hope I'm making the right decision. I been looking over the suggested nutrition and everything. Getting excited!! And I will definitely pass on whatever I have for you and share my results.
Deb-That's great news!!! How exciting! Keep us updated!0 -
Jess -- You're right to use stupid comments as motivation. It being "intense" apparently justifies them not even attempting it at all in their minds. Lame! Like you're automatically supposed to be able to do everything you ever try to do? Explain to me how that works! :laugh:
Cris -- Yes, yes, baby fever indeed.
The purchase of an "I love my mummy" onesie (with a picture of a cartoon mummy) is in my very near future. (edit: for my future child, not for me
) It's $3 at Walmart so I think buying it is harmless enough. Plus um... I found it & thought it was ridiculously cute but it was dh who told me to go back to the store & buy it when I showed him the picture. :happy: Our official plan is that we're not trying but not preventing now & will start trying in December/January (because an October baby would rock our socks but we're not banking on it -- just going to try extra hard that cycle 
:nudge: :nudge:). But the truth of it is that we're presently already trying. Er... Trying to try, if my stupid uterus would cooperate. after being super late that one time, I was super early this last time. After a week of TOM, it's FINALLY over (I think) as of this morning so I'm hoping things will be back to normal (for me) now. 0 -
Julie-This baby fever of yours and your hubby is sooo cute! Love the onesie! And yes I am going to use all the nay sayers as motivation. It wouldn't be called "WORKing out" if it was easy. That's what I always told my friend who comlained about not losing weight and that it was so hard. Hello...it's not called that for a reason! I'm ready to start today I'm so irritated. LOL0
-
Julie - I love your baby fever i think it was all your talk recently made me have a dream last week...i drempt i was pregant...i had my tubes tied so i am trying to talk to my doctor how this happend...she said it just did...hubby didn't think my dream was funny I would love another baby but we decided 2 was enough .
so looks like i am skipping my workout at lunch today to go fedex this stuff...thinking it is worth it thought 0 -
I just wanted to pick some of your brains about something. I posted a discussion about it last night. Has anybody heard anything regarding calcium contributing to your weight loss? From what I have read a woman should have at least 1000mg of calcium a day. Since I don't do much dairy, or try not to, I don't get nearly that much. MFP has my level set to about 160..it doesn't say if it's in mg or what..but I rarely get to even 80. My Mom has been all over me about taking calcium pills anyway since she had breast cancer but after doing this little bit of research I"m thinking maybe I should give it a try!! Anybody else heard anything like this?0
