Fit & Fun Sized Group ~ January 11

We went to Red Lobster for DS' 16th birthday. I swear that boy picks the most expensive and fattening restaurants. I planned ahead by checking the website, but then opted for the shrimp lover's platter. I put the shrimp Alfredo in a box straight away and ended up only 100 calories over for the day. Mom and Dad came with us. It was free day for Dad in that I did not measure his sodium for the meal. I mean he is 91 and we don't go out that often.

Barbie - Thanks for the thoughts about bread. I hope to find the "low sodium" bread the doctors keep talking about.

Later all,

JAM

I just tried Jillian Michaels Shred It with Weights - WOW!! Nice workout and I did sweat - not like I do on the elliptical but I feel like I got a workout. I did it with a 3-pound hand weight as I don't have a kettlebell. Since I stopped going to the gym, I do miss the weight workouts. I found this DVD at the grocery store yesterday and it was only $8.

Good afternoon all. I'm still not my best due to TOM but each day gets better. I think I'll be back to my regular self by Tuesday. Since today is my designated "rest" day I decided to take it light. I walked for over an hour around a local shopping pavillion. I did not go into any stores, I just started at the first store when you enter the shopping plaza and walked it in it's entirety. I started off really strong but couldn't maintain a 5 mph walk but when it was all said and done I walked for well over an hour and burned over 300 calories in the process.

Tomorrow is my first day back in the office so once I finished walking I completed all my grocery shopping and came home and prepared meals/snacks for the next few days. Once I'm done posting I will iron my clothes for the week and then chill out and watch tv.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Good morning and happy Monday! Quick post since I'm back in the office. Alarm sounded at 5 am and I got right up and began my workout. Today I completed the Insanity warm up and then Push Circuit 1. Once the workout was completed I ate breakfast, showered and was out the door.

Hope everyone has a great day

I did my Dad's exercises with him yesterday but I wore 1 and 2 lb weights. I could certainly feel it. Dad can't remember the exercises, so you have to do them with him for him to do them. He has to do a series of overall strength exercises every day for 6 weeks. For those new to the group - Dad is 91, lives with me and just got out of the hospital mid January.

Happy Monday all,

Jeannie

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Jeannie, a long time ago I heard that getting a dog was a good way to make sure you'd get some exercise because you'd have to walk the dog several times a day........for you, your dad is serving the same purpose except that you can get your exercise indoors.........your daughter and her "Gut 'n' Butt" exercises got you moving too......you are certainly getting exercise nudges from a higher power. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Hi everyone, Happy Monday! (yeah, right! :yawn: )
Back to work for me after a busy weekend. My daughter's all-star team won their game Sunday which means they will continue on to Sectionals. Lucky for me, we do not have to travel very far, as a neighboring city is hosting it. I found Billy Banks Cardio DVD on ebay for $3 and I am waiting anxiously for it. Has anyone tried it or any of his workouts? I REALLY enjoy doing kickboxing, and I REALLY want the Trubo Jam set, but right now paying $60+ is not in our budget. Since TOM arrived Saturday so I decided to weigh in again and lost another .8 WHEW! I think I am back on the weight-loss track!

We are finally having winter. Even schools in Albuquerque are closed. Everything out where I live is closed, but I may have to go in to work as I have an important project due tomorrow and it is a national website, so.......................

Be safe and warm and see you on the February forum.
