JOIN ME! 30 day Insanity/Turbo Fire hybrid program

Lisa0711

I agree with Sharon. If you don't live a little you'll burn out. What's life without enjoying yourself once in a while, anyway?! If you stick with it most of the time, you definitely deserve a treat now and then.. and I think your treat was well deserved!

Awesome job Sharon!

I think I may do either Fire or HIIT 30 and then some stretching. I need to work the remaining soreness out.

SDehmer819

I know, I know, you are both right! Sharon, that made me laugh!! Its just that it wouldnt have been a big deal, but I had alrwady ate like crap and over my calories by time we had decided to go. Oh, well. Ill be okay.

Great workout Sharon!!

I did 45EZ and HIIT 30 and burned 576 cals. It was a good workout.

Yea, Lisa...stretching all that good soreness out is a wonderful idea....it feels so good to stretch. Its funny, I teach people everyday how to stretch and talk about benefits and yet, I dont do it nearly enough. LOL I know better.

Have a happy friday night girls!

Morning Ladies! Did CLX Burn Circuit 1 and was able to use 10 lb weights on all shoulder/delt work and 20 lb weights on all lower body work. YAY ME!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
Sharon

SDehmer819

yay for you Sharon!! I am so proud of you and your hard work!!!

Lisa0711

You're doing awesome with CLE, Sharon!

I did intervals on the treadmill today, and I little TaeBo. Today was one of those days that I really didn't want to work out, but did anyway and felt SO much better!

Since I've been working with weights at the gym more, I can definitely see more definition in my arms.. especially when I flex. I've got some fairly nice guns. Now just to get rid of the remaining fat on them... lol

Hope yall have a great rest of the weekend!

SDehmer819

oh wow Lisa, that was exactly how I was feeling, but I got down there on the treadmill and ran 4.5 miles and burned 373 cals.

And dont you just love definition??? That is why I lift, for the most part. LOL I really want my tris to become more defined. I am working on it.

Plan is to go for a long trail run tomorrow...only 2wks until my 20K and that shirt is mine. You know that is why I run races. heehee!
And I scheduled a massage for after it again. I like that it really helps me recover and I am not totally shot afterward. Now, I have to figure out what I am doing next because that helps my stay active with my running...to have to "train" for something. Its a mental thing, I guess.

Talk to you tomorrow ladies!!

telcochik

Now if I could only get my eating cleaner to get the last 7 lbs off!:sad:

You Ladies ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sharon

SDehmer819

Happy Sunday!!

Sharon, I need to get my eating cleaner also...its so hard though. But it would really help with the weight loss. If you figure out how to make it easier, please share.

Ran today at the state park. 10miles on the road but mostly through the trails. Burned 1010 cals. It took us 1hr 53 min and was just a little more then a 11 min pace. Kindof slow.

Wasn't feeling so well...my stomach was super crampy and then I got home about 1hr after we finished and I vomited. I am not sure why. I took a nap and am feeling better. Crazy!

telcochik

Maybe if we work on achieving a small goal each week we'll create new eating habits that will help get us where we want to be. I'm thinking for this week I need to focus on no bread carbs after lunch. Is there something specific you want to work on this week?

Hi ladies..... so I was trying to find some information on the Turbo Fire. I'm on the edge of getting it. I love working out outside, running, hiking, bike rides, but I love classes too. I can't stand paying a gym though. I've been looking for a DVD plan. I need something that will keep me motivated and wanting more. Turbo Fire looks like the classes I normally like to take and Charlene looks like an teacher I would normally be drawn to. I just want to hear about some feed back from some real people. I have gone to the website and read the reviews, I always question who they come from though.
A little about me....
My name is Shelly, I'm 33 years old and started MFP 1/1/2011. I have lost 10 lbs which was mostly in my first month. I've got 30 left and would love to have those off in the next 90 days. I don't want to give up my running cause I have gotten to the point where I can run a 9 min mile for 4 miles and want to continue to improve but I need to add to my routine and want something I can do in the beginning of my day (before the suns up) and then run as well 3-5 of those days.
Thanks for all your help and advise:flowerforyou:

telcochik

Hi Shelly! Welcome to our little group! I think you will LOVE Turbo Fire and I encourage you to get it. I lost 18 lbs and 8 inches in my first round. It's an amazing program.

Sharon

Lisa0711

Hey Shelly! Turbo Fire is a lot of fun.. you don't realize you're working as hard as you are! I'd recommend it.

Sharon, I need to work on my eating too. It's SO DIFFICULT for me to eat well. I know it's all in my head and I can so conrtol what I eat.. but I struggle with it a lot. Small changes need to be made so I can keep them. I say let's work on this together - like you said create a goal each week and work on that.. and if we don't reach it, continue working til the next week. Maybe having no cut off time to get the new habit down will make it less stressful to conquer.

Sam, I know I sent 2 or 3 comments in the feed already, but I'm super proud/excited for you and your longest run! That's awesome!!! I'm working on being able to run that much. Thanks for the inspiration. :flowerforyou:

I've been writing my food on paper lately and... it sucks. lol I hate having to manually enter and look up all that info! I didn't realize how lazy MFP had made me (in that respect.. haha)

telcochik

That's why I love you guys...always ready and willing to jump into something new with me to get us where we want to go! :bigsmile:

Sharon

SDehmer819

I think little goals are totally manageable and I like the non time frame...as long as we keep in mind that it not taking to all yr...LOL
hmmmm....what will mine be?? Because my carbs are lowest in the evening. I try to taper them off by dinner. I am trying to have higher protein at night.

I think I am going to try, starting tonight, to keep a note (writing it down) what that dumb, but drive me crazy statement "if everyday were like today, you would weigh______ in 5 weeks". And see how close it is in 5 weeks. Just something else to track, but I am curious how close it would be if I keep working out and making my days count with better eating and staying within my calorie range. Not until Easter, I have no excuse to over eat...maybe my friends birthday on the 31st but the last time I went out with her in January, I ate very good at dinner.

THANK YOU SO MUCH LISA!! That really means alot to me...I am so proud also of myself and of you too, for sticking with running and getting ready to your 5k. That is your 1st isnt it??

Shelly...welcome!! Yes TF is great and that is coming from someone who isnt in to the dancy type of workout. I love Insanity and TF is a great change. I am not doing regularly....probably 3x a week and too be honest I cant finish one single program because I get bored and so I mix it up between running and lifting. And 4 miles at a 9min pace is AWESOME!! way to go!

telcochik

LIttle goals like that just give us something new to talk about every day! :laugh:

I like yours Sam.. I'll take tonight's "If every day" # and I'll record it here so in 5 weeks I can go back to see how close I came to actually achieving it!

Sharon

telcochik

If every day were like today... You'd weigh 147.8 lbs in 5 weeks!

Ok preserved for posterity!

SDehmer819

Sharon, You can make it happen and then you'll be at your goal lady!! Mine said 137.1 and my goal is 138. And I ate today like I could eat everyday...had a sweet and ate good food, but healthy. Totally doable!

You know....I am going to try, try my darnest. Im tired of excuses and I am tired of every year trying to make my goal for some crazy reason, like my birthday, a wedding, summer, or New Years. I want to make it because I worked hard all year and deserved it.

I did HIIT 25 and Upper 20 and burned 295cals. I really liked Upper 20. !st time I have done it. My shoulders are burning a little still. Bicep, tri, deltoid, chest (pushups) and back work...great combination!!

Lisa, yea the paper tracking is hard at first until you get in to a routine, especially if you regularly eat of the same things. Maybe you could paper track just what you eat and log here for nutrients. I dont know...you will make it work for you, I am sure of that

telcochik

Hi Gang! Today was all Chalean Extreme...Burn Circuit 2 and I've Got Abs. I am really feeling it in my obliques right now.

What's on tap for you all?
Sharon

Lisa0711

I'm back with this. I got spoiled with it and can't go back to the paper system! lol

I'm planning on making dinner tonight (something I don't do much) but I've got to start somewhere! Actually, as much as my boyfriend and I go out to eat rather than eating at home, I'm surprised I'm able to keep from gaining, much less being able to maintain! So... I'm going to slowly try and break the habit or at least cut it in half for now - that's my goal.

We're going to have Chicken Parm from a recipe I saw in Oxygen mag. a few months back. I made it once and it was really good!!

My workout was at the gym today.. I stayed about 2 1/2 hours. I was only going to do 1 1/2, but when I got the the cool-down, my workout buddy texted and said she was on her way to the gym, so I tought "what the hell, I'll just get in a super-burn today" and I did.

EDIT: goodness I read back over that and had a million typos! lol

Lisa0711

I completed my food entry for today and it says in 5 weeks I'll weigh 177.1 BUTTT I burned some serious calories with my workout today.


* Also, I finally have a pic of Rocky in my profile. It's not a very good one, but it shows what he looks like and it was on my cell so I could send it easy.

SDehmer819

Lisa~ I think that is a great goal...working on making and eating dinner at home. I am surprised you havent gain either. Way to work off that eating out food. I think once you start making home meals, youll start losing more. I am rooting for you!!!

You had an amazing workout today LIsa! And Sharon..you are doing awesome lifting with CLX!!

working out in a bit...

SDehmer819

Did some speedwork and ran 3.64 miles in 30mins and then followed up with abs 10. I wants those finger tips on my obliques I burned 369cals.

Stayed up way to late last night so early bed for me tonight.

p.s. Lisa...rocky is cute!!

Good night my workout motivators!!!

WOO HOO SAM! :drinker:

Have a great night Ladies!

Hi Ladies! Turbo Fire day for me today. Completed Fire 45 and HIIT 20...OMG I was dripping with sweat when it was all over.

Talk to you later!
Sharon

jess_steich7

Hi ladies! I am new to this message board group! But I can see that some ladies that have added me as a friend are in here as well! For me today is TurboFire Fire 45 class + Stretch 10! And here I goo.....

telcochik

Welcome jmogg! Happy to have you join us!

Sharon

SDehmer819

Sounds like it was an awesome workout Sharon!! You always start the day in a super way.

jmogg~ welcome to the group. How far into the program are you? We mix up our workouts with TF, CLX, gym, running and Insanity.

Lisa~ Anything on the job???

Had a good day. Working out in a bit. Talk to you then girls!!

Sam

Lisa0711

Great job with your workout, Sharon! I haven't done TF in a few days (or longer) now, and I miss it!

Welcome jmogg!!

Yes, Sam thanks for asking. I did get the job! They called me this afternoon. :bigsmile: I was starting to worry since they said it would be Monday or Tuesday when they called. I was about to call myself. But I'm very excited! It's going to be strange going from being a full time student to being a full time student and working (almost) full time! But thank goodness I'll be done with school in May.

But my biggest concern is finding time to work out now. It's very important to me... but getting used to these hours is going to take some time. I'm giving yall permission to check on me and kick my butt when I need it in case I start with the excuses. Not trying to excuse myself from my schedule... but just want to make *sure* I don't get lazy. This will be a big change for me.

SDehmer819

Lisa~ CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I am very happy for you! And since working out is a consistant thing for you I am sure you will make it work. When I worked full time and was a full time student (and a mother) for 2 yrs, I found time. I would run while my son rode his bike along side or run the treadmill at the school gym in between classes. I found that it helped with feeling over whelmed. You are strong and you will do it!!

Also, I was wondering about the biggest loser challenge. How long is it? And is there an end prize besides the obvious of losing weight? Good luck with it!!

I did HIIT 20 and Lower 20. Boy oh boy, my booty and abductors were on fiyah!!!! LOL was good!!!!

telcochik

Wow Lisa Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure you'll figure out how to juggle work, school, and working out. Personally I had to train myself to wake up at 4:30am so I could get it out of the way first thing.

Great workout as usual Sam!

Have an awesome night Ladies
Sharon
