I'm trying to plan what to do once I finish my Turbo Fire program at the end of this month and I think I'm going to create a 30 day Insanity/Turbo Fire hybrid schedule so I can try to take my cardio workouts to the next level. I'm going to start on January 3 (Monday) and the schedule will be geared towards 6x/week workouts for the entire month of January.

Is anyone interested in joining me? If so, I'll share the schedule once it's created and we'll set a date for taking starting and ending measurements to gauge our results after it's over. Who wants in on being PUSHED to get their FIYAH on???

    Sounds good! I like Insanity and TF, but I get bored doing the same program day after day. Doing a hybird of those two sounds like a great plan!

    I've got both schedules in hand so I'm going to take a stab at creating something. If you both PM me with your email addresses, I'll send you the draft for comments. We can create the best schedule together!

    I'm excited about starting this! I always do my weigh ins and measurements on the first of each month.. so i'll use them for this as well. I'm hoping this will help me to reach my goals of getting into the 170s by graduation (May 7). It's right around 20 pounds away. I just need to work on my eating habits. Thank goodness I like to work out! (most of the time anyway..)

    Maybe I'll post a pic too so I'll be even more motivated to post a better one once we finish!

    I can't wait to see what our results are going to be after that month! My 25th HS reunion is in July...I know I look damn good for my age but I'd love to get below 150 by then if possible. :wink:

    Well we've both got something to shoot for then! That seems to help me.. My lowest adult weight was 176 and I was pretty happy at that weight. I've been struggling to reach it again for a while. I keep on setting dates and not reaching them. I don't know what my deal has been this past year. Actually I do.. stress! This has been both the best and worst year. So many good things have happened as well as a bunch of bad ones.

    I just need to work on me no matter what life brings. I know I can do it! Like I said - the only area holding me back is eating.

    Anyway.. just felt like I needed to get it out there. Putting it into perspective and knowing (basically) only one thing is holding me back, and knowing it's something I can easily work on makes it not seem so daunting.

    Hi Lisa - they say recognizing your issues and putting them out into the universe is the start of how you can work to change things. I'm proud of you for doing that. Our 30 day journey together is going to be amazing. Can't wait!

    Lisa~ my issue is eating also so I am giving up junk throughout our 30 day program so I can get results from eating and working out right.

    I went from Dec. 6 til tonight not even touching chocolate. My boyfriend and I made some fudge for Christmas.. so I tasted some. But I'm back at it tomorrow. We're giving it all away and I plan on sticking to my guns. I did pretty well this far, not gonna blow it now.

    Giving up junk for the month sounds like a good idea. You only miss that crap for a week away - at least that's how it's been in the past. But that first week can sometimes be pure torture!! :tongue: However, it makes it better knowing someone else is in the battle with you.

    Tomorrow is my boyfriend's family's Christmas dinner. After that it should be easier because I have more control of what my family makes! Just so I don't blow it, I'm going to go ahead and plan on eating some dessert, but only one small piece of whatever I think looks the best. Now that I've made a promise, I can't blow it. :)

    *I WILL be wiser with my food choices!!!*

    Hope yall are having a great weekend!

    Love the idea of no junk food for 30 days. I swear, since I've been drinking Shakeology, my chocolate cravings have really lessened. Had a terrible day yesterday...wine and Chinese food following the horrible Giants loss. The evil scale showed a 4 lb gain this morning so I'm really feeling bad. Did Fire 60 just to sweat out the salt and I plan to drink extra water and really stick to my eating plan this week.

    My husband and I are considering doing the 3 day Shakeology cleanse in January to kick start the New Year. I've got to get these last 3.5 lbs off my body for good!

    Love your enthusiasm for our little INSURBO plan. Can't wait to get going and see how we all do. Have a great Monday!

    a cleanse sounds great! I am going to do the 5 day Turbo Fire. I know what workouts you do are suggested but I can go a few days of low cals and be okay...especially with all-the-crappy-over-the-calories-I-am-suppoose-to-have days with the holidays and EVERYONE bringing in us treats at work, which is sweet but frustrating.

    Sharon - I have Shakeology.. but I don't drink it like I'm supposed to. Maybe I should give it a try. What does the cleanse consist of?

    How to Do the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

    Directions
    1.Drink 3 Shakeology shakes a day (mix with water only)
    2.Have a salad in the evening for dinner with 4 ounces of protein, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and vinegar dressing, and 1 tablespoon of flax seed, chia seeds, or hemp seed
    3.Drink plenty of water. Coffee, tea, and herbal teas are okay, as long as no sugar or cream is added.

    I know a couple of people that have done this (my Coach as well) with good results. Mostly I know that after a week in Napa with all the wine and great food I'm probably going to see a 4 or 5 lb gain plus my body will be toxic from all the stuff I don't normally eat. I figure even if I only get through a day of the cleanse that should reset things.

    Yeah.. I've never done a cleanse of any kind. Maybe 3 days won't kill me. :tongue: I think I'll give it a go! When are you starting?
