    Great job on passing the wine and appetizers! It's certainly no easy feat. You'll have to give us the details about the live workout! I'm jealous!!

    Day 5: Pure Cardio. It was insane. I sweated soooo much! But I got rid of 488 calories in 40 minutes.

    Oh.. and while I'm thinking about it - check out the guy when there is like 8:30 left. He's the one in the gray.. I always get a kick out of him b.c he's just going right a long with the workout, then realizes the camera is on him or something, looks side to side and way steps it up. Always gives me the push I need at the end cause it's funny. haha

    Hope everyone has an awesome day!!

    Morning Ladies! Did Fire 60 this morning and burned 485 calories. I will definitely let you know what a live workout with Tony is like. I'm so excited for the entire day of events...just found out Carl Daikler will be in Vegas with Tony! Super Saturday indeed! Hope you guys are planning to attend the morning meeting to get inspired and kick off your 2011 goals!

    Have a great day!

    haha! I know right?? I always chuckle when I see him. Finshed pure cardio today as well (well yesterday because today is officially sat) went out to dinner to red lobster and had grilled shrimp, salad and broccoli and 1 roll. All in all, pretty great day. I am pretty happy with what Ive been doing.

    Sharon...have fun with the workout!!!

    Did Fire 60 today.. 670 calories gone! Now I'm starving and need to find something to eat!

    Hope your workout is great, Sharon!

    Oh and I wanted to tell you guys.. I tried on every pair or pants in my closet and now they all fit again!! Even my smallest pair that fit when I weighed 15 pounds less fits me now! Talk about excited!! I think the reason they fit is bc I'm in better shape now than I was then. Either way I couldn't believe it. I now have about 10 more pairs of jeans I can wear! I didn't know I was getting that much smaller... but there's proof. :bigsmile:

    That is super great Lisa!!! And it is because you are fitter..most likely smaller in in terms of inches. Thats a great feeling and you have been working hard!

    I also finished Fire 60 today...burning 424 cal which complared to you Lisa is nothing. LOL!
    I am feeling a little bit of congestion in my forhead but I decided that sweating it out may help, although my energy level was a little down. Looking forward to seeing what I may burn the next time this workout comes up in rotation.

    Official WI tomorrow so I wonder if I will break 150. Ive been eating so good so I am hoping.

    Sharon, I hope that you had a blast today. Cant wait to hear about it!!

    Tomorrow is a rest day, however I am going to try to get a long run in...depending on the weather. Its been pretty frigid here. But next Saturday I have a trail run and it goes on regardless of how cold it is so I better get my *kitten* out there. Heehee!

    Sam - hope your weigh in goes good! I've always found that (unless I'm just feeling awful) working out seems to make me not feel as bad. There really is something to sweating it out.

    I was going to take the rest day today.. but I ate a little more than I needed to breakfast.. plus I haven't got in any strength training in a while now. I don't wanna get soft - so I did about 40 minutes of circuit training. I'm glad I did. Knocked out about 400 more calories.

    Great job Girls! Today is my rest day especially since Tony kicked my butt yesterday!!! What an amazing day. There's so much coming up in 2011 for Beachbody...great incentives, new programs, a Spanish version of P90X, etc. It's such a great time to be part of this company.

    Carl Daikler also came to Tony's signing...what a treat to hear him speak in person. Such energy...I'm really looking forward to Summit in June. Are you guys going??? So Tony's workout...UCML...upper-cardio-middle-lower. Wow it was over an hour of pure sweat. I'm so sore this morning but I got through all of the moves and finished the entire workout. So proud of that!

    Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!

    Wow Sharon! Sounds like you had a hard workout but a great time also!

    Whats Summit?

    Lisa~
    I saw that this was once day you werent under and thats okay. If your body needed extra food then thats what matters.

    I got out and ran 6 miles. It was about 27ish and no wind but boy were my thighs and butt so cold when I got back. I really have to suck it up and spend the money on warmer pants to run in.

    I am still feeling under the weather a bit but better then yesterday and really I was pretty good during my run.

    I have been really happy with my efforts with eating and even though I wasnt under 150 today I was close so definately it will happen next week.

    I cant believe it is already week 2 tomorrow!

    WAHOO Day 1 week 2 in the books! Did Cardio Power & Resistance and then threw in HIIT 15 to up the burn. This cold sucks and I'm trying to sweat it out so it goes away faster! Bodybugg said I burned 400 calories.

    Summit is the annual national meeting for Beachbody coaches...this year it's in Los Angeles. Sorry I assumed you guys were also coaches.

    Off to hit the shower and then get some breakfast in me! Have a great Monday!

    Glad you had a good time, Sharon! And good for you for deciding to do another workout today!

    Sam - I'm sure you'll have great numbers next week. I'm crossing my fingers!


    I decided to burn some major calories today. I'm snowed in (about 8 inches) and I figured it would be a good way to pass some time.. especially since I went over yesterday. I wish it was just by a little, but I really splurged, so I figured I would fix that. I did Cardio Power & Resistance, Burn It Off (From ChaLean Extreme), and a Turbo Jam workout. I burned 1057 calores! Now I don't feel as bad about yesterday. And I'm going to eat healthy as possible today.

    Oh yea Sharon, not a coach. I am glad to hear that you enjoy it! you also had a great burn today! great work!

    I am hoping for good numbers. And Lisa, I followed your lead from yesterday!! horrible eating day...I splurged also, so I did cardio power & resistance and ran 2 miles. Burned 485 cals!! Too bad I wasnt snowed in!! LOL

    On to a better day tomorrow ladies!!

    Week 2, Day 2 DONE! Fire 55 EZ was a great calorie burn...541 calories according to my Bodybugg! My goal this week is to lose another 2 lbs but we'll see what the evil scale has to say on Saturday!

    Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

    Great burn ladies!

    My HRM battery died on my chest strap. So I don't relly know how many calories I burned with Fire 55 today. I just used the reading a had from last time. I usually burn about 10/min when working pretty hard doing TF workouts. Doing Insanity I generally burn an average of 12+/min I've noticed.


    So I'm just gonna say I burned around 567 today.

    Sharon.. I've been thinking about getting a bodybugg. How do you like yours? Have you compared it to readings with a HRM? I would love to get your feedback and opinion about it!
  • SDehmer819
    SDehmer819 Posts: 441 Member
    day 2 done for me also ladies!! whoop whoop!! great burns for you both!
    I burned 402 cals with it, more then the last time I did it, most likely because I am getting used the moves and dont have to concentrate on them so much.

    Sharon~ youve been doing great with your weight lost and I am sure saturday will be no different. Good luck!

    Lisa~ grrr! I dislike working out without my HRM. I hope you get a battery sooon!

    I LOVE my Bodybugg for the insight it's given me into how my body burns calories; however, it seems to give a lower burn result than HRMs. A lot of people using a HRM during TF seem to burn over 700 calories while I'm burning less than 500 during a 45 or 50 minute workout. I think it's all relative, especially since I don't really eat all of my exercise calories. If I'm under or over reporing it doesn't really matter as long as my eating stays around 1500 calories per day.

    Sharon...I barely burn over 400 in the TF and Insanity workouts using my HRM. I have a polar F6. Its fustrating for me because I feel like I work my *kitten* off! LOL But thats okay. I am with you...If I keep my cals around 1500 I am okay.

    telcochik Posts: 1,643 Member
    Pure Cardio this morning...Bodybugg said I burned 346 calories. According to the scale this morning I am 152.9, which if that's the result I see on Saturday, means I'll have lost almost 5 lbs in 2 weeks of INSURBO! I'm not getting too excited yet since it's only Wednesday but thought I'd share anyway! :wink:

    Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

    I did Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs today (632 calories). I just felt like switching it up.. which made me go through hell for 10 more minutes! lol I think if I remembered exactly how difficult Insanity is during the workouts, I wouldn't want to do it again! Nah, I like the results and like pushing myself. But I'd be lying if I said that thought didn't run through my head when I'm working my butt off!

    Sharon - that's great! So glad we're doing this program. It's really nice to have a few people to keep tabs on workouts with.

    My scale is at my parent's house.. so I've been without it for a few days. I'm hoping our time apart will make me really love what it says when I see it - haha.

    I played around with my numbers.. I did have my activity set for lightly active, but I switched it to sedentary. It seems like I had a lot of progress last week when I was eating 200-300 calories under. It was at 1760, now it's at 1530 before exercise. I'm going to try it and eating back my calories to see how that works out.. I cannot wait to see the 180s again - I'm so close!

    Also, since Saturday, I've burned 3632 calories! I'm definately taking full advantage of my rest day this week. I can tell my body is going to need it, and rightly so.

    both of you are doing AWESOME in the weight loss department. I know I am below all that added water weight when we started but if I dont pick up my game I wont lose much if anything. You two are motivating!!:flowerforyou:

    wk2 day3 in the bag. Burned 402 for the cardio and ab workouts.

    All day I was feeling under the weather...just like over the weekend and since it doesnt seem to be lower then my head/neck I am sticking to the workouts.

    I, too, like that it is just the 3 of us...(sonia doesnt seem to be posting often) it is sooo much easier to keep up with everyone! :smile:

    Lisa~ how are you getting soooo many workouts in?? you are a manic! LOL

    Sam - this week it's mainly a challenge in another group to burn 3500. Then I saw how good I was doing and decided to see how far I could push it lol. And being snowed in didn't leave me with many options. It's definately not something I'll do regualrly. I usually don't have this much time on my hands!
    Hopefully you'll get better soon. It seems like everyone around here has had a cold or worse.. they're just going around like crazy.

    I did Fire 60 today plus a Jillian workout bringing today's total to 773. And the week's total to 5005! I'm taking tomorrow off from working out... I'll do one Sunday instead.

    Hope yall have a great day!

    did Fire 60 and burned 381. grrrr!!!! I couldve ran for that long and been close to 500 cals. That part of TF is frustrating to me...I dont seem to get a decent calorie burn like I do with Insanity or just running.

    you both are going to see great losses at the end of this and I just dont think Ill see much....as far as the scale goes. I am irritated.
    But I am sticking with it and going to keep eating within my calories. And Ill see. (before i wouldve given up because whats the point right??)

    Great job, Sharon!

    Sam, you gotta believe you'll see a loss and you will! I know sometimes I don't burn many with TF workouts.. at times they just feel really repetitive and I can't get into it. Maybe you would do better doing some of the HIIT workouts on TF days and add a little running in also? Just a thought. I know I've substituted a few workouts on days when I didn't want to do the scheduled one. Remember, after all, this is for you - so you have to do what makes you happy whether that means sticking strictly to the schedule or not. :smile:

    I know I've got to practice running more since I'll be doing the 5K on 03.19. I'm so excited and nervous since it'll be my first race. But I've been wanting to do one for a while now... especially since I've proven to myself that I can run that long without stopping. On the treadmill I average 32-34 min to complete a 5K. I just hope the weather will be decent that day!

    your right Lisa!! Ill just tryo my best and if I am feeling running instead or like you suggest running and HIIT I will. So, since I was bummed about my calorie burn ealier I went to DQ and had an ice cream cone. Not smart!!!

    Just finished up 5 miles in 45min (469cals) to make up for it. Now I am only over by 33 and not 499. I feel better about it and I am going to kill it these next 2 wks. And then 2 more since that will make it my birthday weekend.

    congrats on your first 5k!! It is exciting and nerve wrecking...not knowing what to expect and just hoping that you arent the very last person (atleast for me). Its so awesome to run along and have people cheering you on and the atmosphere is amazing! Have fun!!!

    I have a 10k trail run saturday and I am just hoping that it isnt windy. We have snow on the ground and when I did the 5k in
    december it was a great day. Hoping for the same!! :)
