telcochik

You Ladies rock! Thanks for letting me babble to you about BB stuff! I just can't help myself but it's nice to know you're listening and not rolling your eyes at me!!!!

Turbo Fire day for me...Fire 60 with my weighted gloves. My HRM had me at just under 10 cals per minute...565 total burned!

Talk to you both later!

What an awesome burn Sharon!! I actually got up early and got an HIIT workout in and then after work, my son wanted to ride his bike so I decided to jog with the doggies in tow. We went 2 miles. I think they are pooped

Lisa0711

I need my butt kicked. I haven't worked out since Monday. I've just honestly been kinda tired since starting this job. It's going to take some getting used to.. meaning having class only 2 days a week and not having to get up early until this week made me lazy.. lol I'll get back in the swing - I just need to adjust.

I'm for sure going to get in a workout tomorrow. Promise.

SDehmer819

Lisa, let your body take to rest and time it needs to adjust to your new schedule and youll get back into it. But if you really want I will yell at you tomorrow if you break your promise!! LOL

Besides...that 5k is saturday! YAY!! Are you excited????

Lisa0711

Sam, if I make a promise, I try my hardest to keep it. That's why I said that yesterday.. I knew I couldn't break it! And I didn't. I went to the gym for 50 min and burned 609 calories. Usually I stay longer... but I was just happy I went.

I am excited for the 5K! It's getting close.. I bet you're excited about your race too!

telcochik

Hi Sam and Lisa!!! I think I actually forgot to log today's workout on our thread :noway:

CLX day today...did Push Circuit 2 and Ab Burner. Small HRM calorie burn result...285...but I did single leg deadlifts using 20lb weights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go me!!!! I think my arms are starting to look a bit leaner and for sure I'm seeing a little line in the vicinity of my triceps.

Good luck with your races! I don't run but I envy those of you that do so regularly and like it.

Sharon

SDehmer819

great job to you both!! To you Sharon, for throwing that weight around like its nothing and Lisa, for keeping your promise!! Super job!!!!!!!

so, Ive been eating EVERYTHING INSIGHT today!!! So not like me....I wonder if TOM is coming. Anyway, Ill survive. It might also be because I knew that I wasnt going to work out today (even though I wanted to and still do) but that isnt a good mind set to be in.

You know what I envy...people who eat clean and have it under control...I dont know that I will ever get to that eating clean part. I like naughty food. LOL

I forgot Lisa...sorry, but is this your 1st 5K? Do you have a goal in mind? Who's running with you?

And I decided that starting 3/21, I have a 7wk plan that includes stretching and strengthening from p90x and the push circuit from CLX along with upping my runnning. I am thinking about doing the half on May 7th in Rockford and so it will be training for that. But you know I will still be checking in.

telcochik

I agree Sam. If I could give up all the yummy things I love to eat in order to eat totally clean I know my body fat would be so much lower you could actually see the muscles I've been building. :sad:

SDehmer819

:laugh: I know I have muscles somewhere under there....

For me that hybrid was great! I forget how much I lost during that month...maybe 5 lbs...but the biggest change was in my fit test results. I was so much stronger and my endurance was through the roof at the end of it.

Lisa0711

I finished my race in 33:55.. 43rd place. (Sam for sure already knows lol) I feel pretty happy with that number. There were several hills in the race and I did walk some. But considering the terrain, I am pleased that I ran as much as I did. I haven't practiced for this race much as far as running goes. This was only the 4th time in my life I've ran (mostly) 3 miles at one time!

I did enjoy it. The first mile was a killer (mentally - because I knew I wasn't even half way) but once I saw mile 2 I knew I would cross the finish line in no time. I really feel like I accomplished something and I'm proud of myself for doing it.

telcochik

WTG Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so impressed that you did it. Now go enjoy the rest of your weekend and eat some carbs!!!!:laugh:

Sharon

Lisa0711

Thanks Sharon! My legs are mad at me this morning.. I need to get in a workout (not a difficult one, though) to stretch them out!

Sharon - I've been looking at the bodymedia things again.. and I'm very tempted to get one. Did you also have the display watch or did you just plug it into the computer to get your information that way? The displays are expensive - around $80 - and I don't know whether I'm willing to spend the extra or not...

Lisa0711

I found a code to get 20% off my entire order on the site, which made getting the display system only 20 more.. so I ordered it. I hope I like this thing. But either way, I wanted to give it a try so now i can know (almost) exactly how much I can eat and still lose. I've been looking into getting one for a few years now!

I bet these weight loss-products people love me. I don't buy the pills, but I spend a lot on dvds, programs, HRMs and the like.

I'm hoping this investement will be worth it! and hopefully it'll work properly and for longer than 6 months like my hrms did... :grumble:

SDehmer819

Didnt check in yesterday...but 20K is done! Longest run to date. So happy!!! Burned 1341 cals.

I am super proud of you too Lisa!! Hills are TOUGH especially if you havent been doing any hill work to train for it. And really 33 min is too shabby. Congratulations!!!!

And I am sure they love me too....I am always buying into the workout/fit life propaganda...HRM, magazines, clothing, dvd's, etc, etc...LOL oh well, I love it!!!

I am down .5lbs this week. Wasnt expecting it because its TOM for me. It decided to arrive right at the end of my race yesterday. Thankfully it was at the end and not during the middle. That wouldnt have been good. LOL

Going to get an Insanity workout in later, I think. Check back then ladies

Hi Lisa. I didn't get the display watch so every night I would upload my info into the website to show total burn. I didn't think it was necessary to buy the watch when, for a little extra effort, I would get the same information.

Your favorite Beachbody coach would love to love you too, Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

or the herbalife lady...LOL

Did Max interval circuit tonight and burned 432cals. It kicked by butt as always. Im exhausted..,,off to bed to watch some tv. Happy sunday night

SDehmer819

Happy Monday girlies!

I did CLX Push 1 and stretch 10. I am starting an 8 week program (broken down in 4wks) for 1/2 marathon training. I am going to do 2x strengthening, and 3-4 days running working on speed and endurance and Insanity for the exact same reason. When I was doing Insanity last year during a few of my races, my speed had really improved.

With that said...I didnt officially finish the most recent 4 weeks (1 wk shy of) and only lost 1.5lb. But it is a loss and so I must not grumble. LOL By the end of these 8 wks I would love love love to make 138lbs. Let's see....that is 4lbs....that sounds completely doable right??? You would think. :laugh:

Lisa...how did your week start out with juggling school and new job?

Sharon...how is the push phase going for you?

mommie3car

I just purchased :happy:

telcochik

Morning Ladies! ChaLEAN Extreme Push Circuit 1 and Turbo Fire Core 20 today. Used my new 25lb weights for squats and my legs are burning right now!!!

Welcome mommie3car! Which did you buy...Turbo Fire or ChaLEAN Extreme? Either way you're in for a treat!!!

Great job on the plan, Sam and I think 1.5lbs lost is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
Sharon

Lisa0711

Sam great job with losing the 1.5.. that's a lot with you being so close to goal! I know you can reach 138 if you put your mind to it... you've got it in ya girl!

Sharon you're kickin CLX's butt - nice work!

I finally made it to the gym today and had a decent burn. I did some strength, and then walked the 5K I ran Saturday - at least now I know where an outside running area is that is exactly 3.1 miles.. it'll help a lot when practicing for the next one. It was such a pretty day I couldn't stay in the gym long!

SDehmer819

Lisa, hope you are getting all settled in your new routine. Great work at the gym and glad someone is enjoying the outdoors. We had an awesome week last week, but this one is chilly and raining and maybe a chance of snow at the end of week.

Sharon...my gosh Lady, you are going to have legs of steel. Way to go!!

I ran 4 miles and did some shoulders, tris and chest with the band and by doing some pushups and dips.

Thank you ladies...honestly toning up is more important to me then the scale, however for some reason we let those numbers run us. LOL

telcochik

Heh legs of steel! What I'd really love is some noticeable GUNS to show off in tank tops this summer!

Today was a Turbo day...Fire 30 with weighted gloves and Greatest HIITs. HRM showed I burned 537 calories so I seem to be consistently burning on average 10 calories per minute during TF workouts and 7 - 8 calories per minute during CLX Push workouts.

Nice job on your workouts yesterday Ladies!

Sharon

SDehmer819

Sharon...your burns are amazing!!! You must really be kicking *kitten*!

I ran 5 miles with about 2miles of speedwork. Burned 416 cals.

Scale is moving and in the recent 2 mths that has been regular with the week after my TOM so even closer to the 140's will be amazing!!!! Hoping for the same this week

I cant wait to see a picture of the gun show that you girls will be sporting....

SDehmer819

Hello Ladies!!

End of the week is finally upon us... I ran 3 miles and then did CLX Push 2. Burned 426 cals total.

Feeling good...eating pretty well and working out awesomely (I made that word up~ LOL)!!!

I had bought some jeans on clearance at the beginning of summer ('10) and bought them too small...thinking that maybe, just maybe I would get into them...and guess what??? Yep, you got it!! I fit into them. And they didnt squeeze me and they are single digit. LOL ohhhhh....the little things to make us smile. :laugh:

Happy Friday!!!

telcochik

WOW Sam that is amazing!!!! I think I'm ready to buy size 8 jeans too but haven't gotten myself to the Gap yet to try them on. So proud of all your hard work and success!!!!!

Ooh can't believe I forgot to post my workout results today. Push Circuit 2 and Ab Burner. Able to use my 25s on the lunges...just wait until I go out and buy 30s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next goal to achieve.:bigsmile:

Talk to you guys in the morning!
Sharon

telcochik
