    Got my run in this morning. 50 minutes, 5.25 miles. Felt like I could have kept running but had to stop to get ready for work. :grumble:
    Great job Doo!!!!!! You are totally motivating me! Just what I needed! :smile:

    Well, yesterday morning I wimped out - we had those horrible thunderstorms that kept me up all night, so I didn't work out yesterday. :ohwell:

    But today, I fought it, and I did it. 4 miles running and some ab work.

    Amy - is Turbo Fire really good? I'd never seen what it was til I saw the infomercial at the gym this morning. It looks so awesome. Do you feel silly doing the moves or can you keep up pretty well ('you' as in, how do people feel in general, do you think, not YOU) lol. :wink:

    OH NO ~ I really thought no one could see me:wink::laugh: :laugh:

    I LOVE TurboFire, it is tough and I have at least 4 left feet, but yes, I can do most of the moves almost gracefully now:flowerforyou: Silly, well, I got over that feeling while I was learning Turbo Jam years ago ~ the music in both TJ & TF is rather addicting though. My poor husband has to listen to a lot more "rap" music now a days:glasses:

    I would totally recommend it ~ and no, I'm not a coach or sales person or anything like that ~ I know that these workouts have totally helped me with my weight loss.

    And now, I must admit, I did not workout this morning. Hubby didn't have to go in until later than usual, so we both slummed it this morning, a rare treat indeed for us! We are normally nonstop from 5 am until we leave for work.

    TGIF everyone!

    I have a 5 day weekend, so I'm not sure how much I'll be around here ~ Happy Easter!

    Great job. I think getting the workout started is the hardest thing to do. Once you start, you wonder why you ever considered not doing it.

    No work today so I did my workout a little later (still in the morning). Did a deck of cards workout - pullups, pushups, burpees and jump squats. Adding the burpees instead of crunches really changed the intensity of the workout.

    Have a great Easter everyone.

    Back at in this morning. Didn't work out yesterday morning but I ran last night. Quick turnaround for this mornings workout and my body is feeling it.

    This is a recovery week for me so I did Core Synergistics this morning. My plan is to run tomorrow and then do Core Synergistics on Friday and then do one of the Insanity workouts on Saturday. Off on Sunday and then Monday morning starts another round of P90X/Running/Insanity hybrid.

    Great job! I went this morning too......UGH. Got it in, but I stayed up too late last night so it hurt! Did some weight lifting and a short interval burst on the treadmill.

    I do a body pump class at 5:15 am MWF and a spin class TTH at 5:30 am. I can always use friends to help me stay accountable (and vice versa!)

    I'm still here. This rain is really starting to be irritating though.

    Started by 4th round of P90X yesterday. Chest and back completed yesterday morning. This morning was a 50 minute run. Going out of town toward the end of this week so have to modify my schedule some - taking my running shoes so no excuses allowed.

    Still rainy and dreary......ugh.

    P90X Shoulders and arms completed this morning. Really like this workout but I've got some soreness in my left elbow so I had to refrain from pushing it on some of the exercises.

    Welcome and nice to meet you!!

    Doo, great job hanging in there!

    This weather SUCKS!!! Flood warning has lost all meaning ~ I'm glad I live on a hill, soon to be an island I think!

    Today I did TF60, felt good!

    Happy Tuesday everyone, I'll see you in the morning :)

    Happy Thursday everyone!

    I did Turbo Jam this morning just for something different, funny how slow that workout seems after TurboFire ~ still fun though.

    It's almost Friday ~ woo hoo!

    Now off to get some coffee before my workout buzz totally wears off:tongue::drinker:

    Circuit training this moring. Chose a deck of cards workout. Changed things up a bit - an Ace meant run for 5 minutes on the treadmill (previously an Ace for rest for one minute). Ended up getting in 2+ miles of running along with the pushups, pullups, burpees and jump squats). Burned 447 calories which is pretty good for me.

    Gonna be out of town the next couple of days. (my running shoes are packed) Have a great weekend.

    Congrats for getting your workout in this morning LightYear.

    Eh, I'm back. :ohwell:
    Took a break after my race, and was sick (AGAIN! toddlers at school do that to you. Ugh). Anyways, got back at it this morning. Circuit training and elliptical.

    Way to get back to it Kate :smile: Glad you are feeling better!

    I um, well, okay, must confess, didn't workout this morning:embarassed: :embarassed: I will get in a walk this afternoon to get my calories burned in though, I swear it!

    Back at it. Didn't get up in the morning but did complete P90X chest and back at lunch. Didn't run like I wanted to over the weekend - too much fun had to the wee hours of the night to get up and run.

    Back to watching my diet...

    Good job Doo!!

    I lifted weights and did a short interval on the treadmill this morning. I have been doing mostly cardio with a little strength mixed in for a long time. Finally switched it up this week and doing mostly strength with a little cardio. OMG can you say STARVING?????????????? Yikes!! And I'm not burning as many calories so it's making me nervous.

    Great work Kate!!

    I remember when I did ChaLean Extreme, I was constantly STARVING!! Remember there is an after burn from lifting!

    Was a lazy bum this morning and did not get up to get my workout in. Can't do it at lunch today so I'm left with getting it done tonight.
