    Hi Gang! Chalean Extreme day today...did Burn Circuit 3 and I've Got Abs. First time doing IGA and I have to say it was pretty intense. Lots of pushups and all sorts of crunches. Finished up with back extensions and they felt sooooo good! I would recommend this one if you're tired of Abs 10 and want some variety.

    Have a great weekend!

    Fire 60 is complete. Now I have some more calories to play with for dinner tonight.

    I think I may go get a manicure.. haven't had one in FOREVER.. and I have an interview Monday! Hopefully things will go well.

    Hope you two enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    Sounds like a great workout Sharon. What is IGA from?

    Great workout with Fire 60 Lisa. I hope you enjoyed your mani!! I dont usually get them done because I am washing my hands so much and use lotion that the polish is off in 1 day. 2 Weeks ago, I tried a no-chip mani and it is just now wearing away. They are aobut $35-40 every 2 weeks though if you keep with it, but once in a while isnt too bad.

    I did Fire EZ 55 and burned 402 calories. Hadnt done that one in a bit...was nice. Planning a run tomorrow. And it is weigh in day. Hoping for a loss again this week but I will be okay with maintaining.

    Have a great Saturday night!!

    It's part of the advanced CLX program. Today was my first time doing it so I had no idea what to expect. Not a bad ab routine...I definitely am still feeling it in my obliques even all these hours later!

    happy Sunday!!

    I weighed in today and am down to 143.5lbs. I almost made my goal of 142 by the end of this 4 weeks and I cant complain. :bigsmile: 142 is right around the corner. My goal for the next 4weeks is to get out of the 140's and weigh in at 139.

    I decided that I am doing some more TF and starting at week 17 or 18 in the book schedule. I kindof stepped away from CLX and the lean circuit and really have just been doing some strengthening on my own~ pushups, tris, rows, shoulders, etc.

    Ran with a friend today at the state park for some trail running. My sportsband said 6.8 miles but its been a little over like anywhere from .2 to .4 off so I am calling it 6.5miles. It took us 80mins, which is long but we walked a little bit and I burned 777cals.

    My long weekend is over...havent worked since Wednesday and I am dreading it. I dont like the thought of Mondays. LOL

    Lisa, how was your mani?

    Sharon, Ill have to take a look...I think I have the advance portion of the CLX program. I bought it after a few months later.

    That's so great Sam! I know you'll reach your goals!
    I didn't get a mani.. broke a nail off and didn't get around to it. they never last me more than a day or 2 either... I guess I'm a little tough on my hands and nails. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow..

    I have that interview tomorrow.. I'm nervous. I went and bought some new clothes.. I hate shopping (love getting new things, I just hate the process of looking for and buying stuff) - but I had to get something to wear!

    I took a rest day today other than walking.

    I got 2 new dvds in the mail! I can't wait to try them. Last week a went on a workout buying spree lol. I got 3 - that Ultra Bootcamp, a new bootcamp dvd by Jari Love, and top fat burners (or w/e it's called) by Billy Blanks.

    Lisa~ good luck tomorrow on your interview!

    I am the same way about shopping...I hate sorting through things, especially in places like TJ Maxx and clearance racks although I like saving moolah!...I like to be able to see everything.

    Let us know what you think about your new dvds!

    Good Morning!

    Today I did Fire 45EZ with my weighted gloves and HIIT 15 to complete my goal of 1 hour of cardio 3x per week. How are you Ladies doing on this lovely Monday?

    Good luck in the interview today, Lisa!!!

    No workout for me today. It's been a crazy day today. Plus, TOM is here and about every 4th one is a pain.. literally. So that and being so nervous about the interview I didn't try it today.

    I *think* the interview went great! I stayed and talked with who will be my supervisor and the president of the bank well over an hour. It seems like a really good job and I hope I can get it! They told me there will be 2 interviews and they kept saying "when we call you back" and "at the next interview" so I felt pretty hopeful. If he would have said "IF you get called back" or "IF you have a second interview" I wouldn't feel that way.. usually even when they think they will call back they'll still stress the "if" part. Maybe I'm reading too far into it... hopefully not. Either way, they said I'll get a call by Friday.

    Hope yall are having a great Monday!

    great workout Sharon!! and 1hr 3x a week is a very reasonable goal. You can do it!!!

    Lisa~ sounds like it went great! I will, also, have my fingers crossed for you. And usually TOM isnt too bad for me, but every once in a while my SI joints ache and I dont want to sit , let alone workout. Today sounds like a great rest day for you.

    I am posting later after my workout.

    Nice job Sam.

    I plan on eating right this week too. It's just something about a new month that helps restart my motivation. Especially since we're getting to the end of winter!

    I may pull a double tomorrow. I'm supposed to work out at the gym tomm evening, but I want to see what that new dvd is all about. I may do it in the morning too.

    I'm also going to be writing down my food choices on paper. I got a new journal (I lost the majority of my weight when I used paper for some reason, so I'm giving it another go). I've got to do something to flip that switch again and get this weight going down. I'm counting on this being it. And, I'm going to write my thoughts for each day down. Maybe this will help me too. Either way I'm giving it a try! I'll still be on here all the time - maybe just not as much to count my food. I just want to see how it goes.

    I hope tomorrow is the start for our most successful month yet (with more to follow!) :drinker:

    Good Morning Ladies! Happy March!

    Today I did CLX Burn Circuit 3 and TF Core 20. I was able to move up to using 10 lb weights on the lateral lifts and 20 lb weights on the squats and sumo squats. Progress!!!!

    I agree with Sam...whatever works for you Lisa is the right thing to do!

    Have a fabulous Tuesday!

    I ran 3 miles of speedwork and did core 20. Burned 304 calories. Eats were okay today, had some tootsie rolls, could've been worse I suppose. Anyway, off to bed. Happy March!

    Nice job Sharon! I'm right there with you on sore abs. I worked mine at the gym yesterday and today - def feel it!

    I burned over 1000 yesterday, and 750 today at the gym! :) I've been working hard with the weights.. and I can tell it. I've also been working my legs and glutes -they're sore as well. But that's great cause it means things are changing! I've been concentrating on my glutes here lately.. I want to have a real nice lookin butt. hehe

    wow!! amazing job Sharon and Lisa!!! You are both doing so great with the weights!! Love lifting :)

    I didnt get a workout in yesterday because I fell asleep on the couch and when I woke up it was 8:40pm so I just went to bed and slept until this morning. Felt nice.

    Getting ready to go and do a little workout before my son's game. Just finished up cleaning.

    Everyone needs a break now and then Sam. At least you can enojy them cause you work so hard the rest of the time!

    So far this month (yeah.. I know it's only 3 days in lol) I've been doing really well with eating! I'm proud of myself. :)

    The bank called me today to schedule another interview tomorrow! I didn't get weeded out! If this one goes as well as the last one, I may get the job! Keep you fingers crossed (again) please! :happy:

    OMG Sam you mean you lived your life??????????????????????? :laugh:

    Seriously, if you didn't slip from perfection every so often you would soon burn out. I know you'll get right back to your routine. One night won't do serious damage to your weight loss. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

    WTG Lisa on making it to the next round of interviews. All my parts are crossed for you as well!!!

    Today was a pure Turbo Fire day for me...Fire 30 with my weighted gloves and HIIT 30. Burned 465 calories according to my HRM.

    Have a great Friday!
    Sharon
