    Thanks Mike - I have the sdded motivation of the vacation.

    I actually ending doing a boot camp This time was boxing) class then the abs class and still went for my walk!!! I was also keep all my mini goals yesterday!!!

    This morning I did UML (my favorite) and will walk this evening.

    Today my mini goals - is to watch sugars, and eat a non-meat dinner. (I will have my protein at lunch) Continue the water and remember to take my vitamins.!!

    Mike -Good Job with workout with your daughter - It is easier to workout with a partner - that is why it is so easy for me to walk at night. My neighbor and I just go. Sometimes we walk for more than a hour - but at least 45 mins. We usually walk where we can still talk but we are huffing and puffing. I can really see the results in my legs.

    Brent - I have to hide the girl scout cookies from myself. Last time the girls were selling them - I just donated money!!!

    MWM - Thanks for the schedule - I had one but couldn't find. I usually like to kinda do my own thing but it's nice to have a schedule to use as a basis!!!

    Hope everyone is pushing play!!!!

    Did UML for the first time today, light burn but I really enjoyed the workout. It felt good to be back on track :) The next couple of weeks are going to be busy. I'm moving to a place closer to work, I just can't afford the gas from my current place. Another side benefit is that I'll be close enough to either bicycle in to work or perhaps start my day with Tony's Ho'Ale'ke'Kino yoga :) Either way I'm looking forward to it.

    I did Power 1/2 hour toned arms this morning. Will do ab rupper this evening. Ran out of time this morning with trying to plan for a nice healhty lunch and cooking a healthy breakfast before I left for work. I was able to get in a walk last night and met all my mini goals. One day at time...Today my goal is to continue with the added water, plus my green tea and not to eat after 8:00. I try to focus on different things each day...

    Hope everyone is having a happy healthy day!!!

    Tonight my daughter and I did Sculpt 5-6. I'm trying to get in pushups every day so I can improve on them. I noticed a big improvement with them in sculpt tonight.

    Brent...good to hear you are getting your focus back. Good luck on the move. Hopefully being closer you'll have more time at home. A change gives you some new things to look forward to.

    lobster...great to hear you have goals and seem to be meeting them. Vacation can be a great motivator. Hmmmm....maybe that's what I need :-)

    UML and AR 100 done. Didn't have a lot of energy today, but happy I did it.

    Did another 3 miles today. Gotta get ready for my race. I also had to put my couch back so my landlord could take pics to put in the listing so I don't have the room to do a DVD right now. Should get into the new place next week and I'll be able to actually raise my hands over my head without hitting the ceiling! I should also have more room to maneuver during my workouts, bonus :)

    Sorry I've been MIA. I've been super busy. This also means I haven't had time to work out. I'm looking forward to getting my work out in today. I think I'm going to go back to working out for 6 days straight instead of a day off in the middle. Just to try something different!

    I like the 6 and 1 schedule myself. Easier to stay on track.

    Did FBE tonight, noticed great improvement over the last time I did it which was several months ago. I love that workout :)

    Had a good Cardio Intervals workout last night.
    I agree the 3 and 1 wasn't really working for me either.

    My goal is to stay busy doing something!
    On days I'm busy with yard or house work, etc. I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't get in a workout.
    I may decide to do a bike ride instead. What I like about MS is the variety and the ability to choose.
    I had planned to do Sculpt last night, but just felt like getting in some cardio....so that's what I did.
    I was tired and was going to skip it, but my wife and son reminded me to not think about it and just press play.
    It started out a little slow, but 1/4 way through I was feeling great.

    We need to keep remembering how good we feel from doing these workouts! (SLAP ACROSS MY OWN HEAD!!!......thanks Brent for using the 2x4 on me the other day!)

    Tan, the new profile picture is great! What a good looking family! Get the workouts in when you can. Life is busy and we need to adjust. Don't beat yourself up. (I know....easier said then done....we are all learning this I think)

    Brent....sounds like you are excited and anxious about getting into the new place. I know what you mean about hitting the ceiling. Being 6'5" with a suspended ceiling in the basement isn't the best combo for workouts.

    lobster....sounds like you are doing great with your goal. I'm sure you will look and feel great on your vacation. Enjoy it but make sure you come back with some great motivation to keep it going!

    Workout Question:

    My workout room (basement) has carpeting that has a rubber backing (tiles) over concrete. So it's good for some of the jumping and cushions pretty well. I've tried working out in my bare feet, as well as with my sneakers.

    Here's the problem. For some of the workouts, when you twist side to side, or punch and need to rotate your feet on the balls of your feet, I either feel like I'm going to wear off the skin on my feet..........or if I use sneakers, the rubber bottoms "stick" to the carpet and don't allow my feet to easily move. (I hope that makes sense)

    Does anyone else have this problem? What type of flooring do you have? Do you workout with or without sneakers?

    I was thinking of removing some of the carpet tiles for those exercises where I need to twist and turn my feet, and use the carpeted area for jumping type exercises.

    Great Core Cardio workout this morning!! I also got in walk last night. Hoping to get one in tonight because I won't make my spin class : ( . But it's all good.

    Mike, your right about when I get back - then I will rely on YOU GUYS to motivate and support me - to remind me how good I felt when I exercised and made healthy choices. Remind me - that although it is tough and I have to work hard - I like the results of feeling better, clothes fitting better and be able to do more because I feel stronger and have more energy!!! Please throw that back at me when i whine about working so hard!!!!!

    I am feeling much better and sleeping better and my woman aging issues are better !!


    Have a happy healthy day!!!!

    Tried out Plyo Legs for the first time tonight, whew! Knees got a little achy there at the end, discovered I really need to work my inner thigh muscles more, lol.

    Obliques were sore today from yesterday's Cardio Intervals, I kept proper plank during the walk/run/chaturanga plank move. Previously I was putting my butt in the air but this time really focused on staying straight and boy did I feel it :) Finally got the wacky jacks to work properly too.

    Switched things up a bit this morning - I did the biggest loser Power sculpt level 1 and 2!! Had a great workout - back to Sweat 5/6 or FBE tomorrow.
    Keeping mini goals - more water, less salt, less sugar and more fiber!!!

    Keep puching play!!

    Good Morning all, completed pwer 1/2 abs!!! my last little bit of sculpt. Will get in a good workout tomorrow and possible a walk. I feel pretty good about my workouts and eating plan the last few weeks..

    So this is my last check in before my big vacation - probably won't check in too much but WILL be watching what I eat and keep loose track of calories - exercise will be limited so I have to keep that in mind.

    Keep up all the good work and be prepard to motivate me back into shape when I get back !!! (hopefully it won't be too bad)

    Blessing to alll!!!

    Hope I'm not the only one left after the end of the world yesterday!

    Tried out a new running loop and got some great hills in to help me train for my 5k next month. Hopefully I can lose a couple of more pounds before then too, less to carry!

    Have a great Sunday folks:)

    Hey everyone!

    Today I officially started Power 90 Master Series with Cardio Intervals... WOW that's a great workout. I was drenched to the bone!

    Great to see you starting MS Mike! BOY...doesn't seem like you took a break after finishing P90!

    I was finally feeling some motivation again today. I came home and got in a good Sweat 5-6 followed by AR-200!
    The weather held out too at lunch to go for a nice walk. I'm really hoping the motivation is back and I can stick with getting the workouts in every night during the week!

    My 16YO son's Lacrosse season ended on Saturday and he started P90MS tonight. He's continued to lose or maintain his weight since the beginning of the year when we both started P90 in January. He stopped P90 after 60 days due to his intense practice and game schedule. He's really looking good! He's lost somewhere around 45 pounds.

    I'm hoping my motivation is back! It's been really tough the last month.

    Mike....I could use all the push I can get. I know you'll be here every day doing P90 MS. That is definitely motivating to me. Hopefully I can help keep you going too! Thanks.

    Brent...it doesn't seem that long ago you were hating running. Now your getting ready for your second 5K. That is Awesome! (I still can't get over your picture...amazing!)

    How's everyone else doing?

    Any other P90 Master Series folks that want to share?

    Great to see you starting MS Mike! BOY...doesn't seem like you took a break after finishing P90!

    No break between rounds this time. I wanted to get right into Master Series and keep my momentum going. I will take a recovery week AFTER Master Series, before starting P90X at the end of August. That week will also coincide with our family vacation, and we'll be in Myrtle Beach for the week. I will do some cardio that week, walking/running, biking, swimming, etc. And the resort has a full gym so I'll have access to treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, etc.
    Mike....I could use all the push I can get. I know you'll be here every day doing P90 MS. That is definitely motivating to me. Hopefully I can help keep you going too! Thanks.

    Mike, I will continue to cheer you on as usual! I will be here doing my workouts, and I appreciate your support too. And everyone else for that matter!

    Must be something in the water today, lol. I decided I needed to get my nose back to the grindstone and so officially re-started MS. This time I'm doing the standard version instead of the lean. I wanted to lose more weight but found myself missing the strength days when I was doing lean.

    No one is more surprised than me Mike when it comes to running. I have ALWAYS hated it, even as a kid taking laps around the ball field for PE at school. I was shocked after my first week of C25K when I found myself looking forward to my next run. It was such a gradual program I never felt overwhelmed. Before I knew it I was knocking out a 5k.

    Looking forward to giving and receiving some encouragement over these next 90 days :) KPP!
