    Hi everyone, yesterday I tried something different and threw in 30ds level one, burning 180 cals. energy has been down so much, everyone seems to be sick here :( I was thinking that was low, but I guess if you multiply it by 3 for an hour workout, its pretty good. just use to those higher burns since they are longer workouts.

    hope everyone has a good hard workout today!

    Today I did a 45 minute yoga session, and it was hard with tough poses. I think I burn more than the calculator says, but oh well, I am still getting up and doing something. After yoga I did 15 minute weight training on my arms mixed with a butt workout. I burned 190 calories and I haven't even done my elliptical yet today. I'm thinking about starting c25k. I haven't decided on a schedule yet or which day to start. Every little step counts.

    Hey Gang! Looks like this thread is really picking up some steam. I'm so happy that each and every one of you made the commitment to join and share. We're all in for a treat this summer with our new HOT bodies and phenomenal attitudes about health and fitness. WTG I am so proud to be a part of this group!

    Today I did CLX Lean Circuit 2 (shoulders and back)...OMG my shoulders are SCREAMING! Double chocolate peanutbutter and strawberries was today's Shakeology recipe for breakfast. Lesson learned...hubby made kick a** crab cakes last night but I should have stopped at eating 1 instead of 2 because the scale was up 0.5lb. Anyway, I'm still down 1 lb overall so far this week so we'll see how the weigh in goes on Saturday.

    Welcome yarnhoarder! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Slim in 6.

    Great job on the yoga Kelli...I am so bad at yoga that I don't do it.

    Amazing work Anita...that's a lot of workout you crammed in to one day!

    Feel better soon Chrissie!

    Great job as always Moraima! You are a ROCKSTAR!

    Have a great Thursday everyone!

    Hello ladies! Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

    Today I only got in 30 minutes on the treadmill because I just didn't want to get my butt up and moving this morning. So by the time I hit the treadmill, 30 minutes and little man was awake! But better than nothing. Then during his nap got in my back and biceps routine. Love this one! Used 12 lb weights for everything which is good for me! My goal is to increase up to 15 lbs by the end of this next 30 days.

    Everyone is doing awesome with their workouts! Keep up the fantastic work.

    And just curious...any one have any swim suits in mind that they are planning to buy?! I want to see them if you do! I'll try to find a picture of mine!

    I am not looking for anything specific for a bathing suit. I just want a tankini in a smaller size (last year I was a 1X). I am hoping to be a size 10/12 when I go to buy one. I haven't really started looking yet though.

    Happy Friday! Today was TF Fire 60 and HRM says I burned 583 calories! Sweat kept pouring into my eyes. I was drenched after that workout! Felt good though!

    Have a great day!

    I did my short workout last night (20 mins) burning about 242 cal. I was late getting to my workout, so I couldn't do the long one. I had a nice surprise this morning...I stepped on the scale, and I have lost another 0.6 lbs which brings my total to 36.2 lbs. I am headed towards that 40 lb mark; I will be ecstatic when I hit it because then I am 3/4 of the way to my goal. I am planning on trying a new workout tonight with Chalene that focuses on my abs (40 mins). It will all depend on time and when I can get my babies to bed. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!! The weekend is right around the corner.

    My weight has been yo-yoing the last month or so and I'm really sick of it. I will give myself this next 5 days - our Easter holiday break - to get this feeling out of my system and then I am seriously back to it.... I am finding that I am overeating on weekends and then will be really strict with myself during the week. With this way, I am losing an gaining the same 4 lbs... so I'd say pretty much maintaining... I also need to get back into exercising - I'm pledging to put two days a week of lunchtime workouts in, 2 runs and then my kickboxing/pump hybrid dvd...

    Hope this gets me out of my slump! Day 1 begins on April 27!!! Will post my weight then :)

    Hey, today I did some yoga. Not as much as yesterday, I am sore. I really just tried to stretch out my sore muscles. I haven't gotten on my elliptical yet, but the kids are in bed, I can use it with no distractions. I am going to try to get in 30 minutes or more. This monday I am starting the couch to 5k thing. I am a little nervous, but I am hoping for good results. My sister is a runner. She runs every other day and does 3 to 4 mi runs. She said that running pretty much makes your body fit and toned, because it works every muscle. Heres hoping it goes well, I am nervous. I kinda want to run at the park on the trail behind the trees, so I am not seen panting and dying and looking rediculous on my first week. I know I shouldn't care what people think, but well, sometimes I get self-conscience.

    I did Ab Jam (Turbojam) for 20 mins burning 191 calories and I did my 20-minute workout (Turbojam) which burns about 242 calories. My total is 433 calories tonight. The Ab Jam is going to be a great thing for me, and I have a feeling I will be extremely sore tomorrow. Hopefully, it will help me get a 6-pack at some point. I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend.

    Took an hour toning class today. It was super intense. Then did the treadmill for 20 minutes.
  • I had an "off" day on Wed and Thurs, bot food and exercise wise, but jumped right back into it today. Did a 80 min bike ride, and completed day 9 of the 30 DS.

    I'm seeing result, which makes me feel great. I actually laughed at myself this morning, because I could SEE some muscle in my shoulders. It felt awesome! Oh, and I am actually starting to be able to tell where my butt ends and my thighs begin!

    All told, so far I've lost 6 lbs, and 4+ inches :) I took my "before" picture in this adorable bikini I have, and I can't wait until I do an "after" pic in it. I haven't worn a bikini since I was about 6 yrs old, and I'm now 30 and have birthed and nursed three kids, so it'a a huge leap of faith in myself to put one on! I think I'm going to take a "progress" pic once I'm done the 30 DS, just so I can see the changes whenever I want.

    Thank to everyone here for all their support as I get started on this journey!

    Hello All. I'm happy to see so many workouts logged today! CLX Lean Circuit 3...my arms are truly jello. I actually brought my arms to failure during the last round of chest presses...could only do 9 with good form...the 10th one was crap.

    TOM showed up yesterday which explains some of my bad eating this week (not all of course). Scale was down an overall 0.6 lb for the week but I'm sure the results will be better next week once things are back to normal.

    Have a great rest of your weekend and happy Easter!

    I took the day off today, not necessarily on purpose. I ended up waking up late this morning, and I took the kids to a community spring festival thing. Yes, I had cotton cany and popcorn and 1 chocolate covered strawberry. Then later I set up a kids pool in the backyard. Overall I felt like it was an active day, without the burn. I ended up under my calorie goal, but over in my sugar goal. I may not workout tomorrow either. I am hoping I have time between planned activities. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Good Morning everyone and Happy Easter!!!!! Had my last day of recovery week yesterday with a 500 something burn, and today is my rest day before month 2 begins of Insanity but I will probably jump on the treadmill at some point for a little run especially with Easter Dinner looming. TOM is also looming which explains my belly bloating, and salty sweet snack cravings lol. But a great week to begin Month 2 because it'll make me push harder.


    Enjoy your day everyone!

    HAPPY EASTER!

    Got in a quick 30 minute treadmill run and now we are off to my uncles to celebrate. I am eating grilled chicken breast beforehand and will pack a few of my own snacks just in case I want to munch on something and there isn't anything available that fits into my plan! Also bringing my water bottle...I just like to keep track to make sure I'm drinking enough...and it's easier with my own pre-filled bottle!

    Have a great one ladies!

    Did P90X Shoulders and Arms, Ab RipperX, and walked the dog for 20 minutes. Ate a lot- not really sure how many calories...lots of different things. Hopefully I didn't go over.

    Today I did Turbo Fire Fire 60 and burned 544 calories. Lower than the last time I did it. Probably cuz I was a little sluggish from all the crap I ate yesterday. I definitely over did it...especially in the dessert department. UGH! I felt so blah afterwards. Time to get back on track with eating...starting today!! I wanted to do a longer workout but Fire 60 took it all out of me.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    Good Morning Lovelies! Happy Monday to you all.

    Fire 60 for me this morning...no gloves since my chest and shoulders are still sore from Saturday's monster CLX lean workout. HRM showed 543 calorie burn...right in line with Anita!!!

    I too ate like crap yesterday (might as well confess my sins here right???) and saw it on the scale this morning. Sigh...only good thing is that TOM is just about done so my cravings should also be more controlled this week. I'm moving my Shakeology meal to lunch this week to see what, if any, impact that has on my eating.

    So, starting today we all make a pact to take it one day at a time but to try really hard to have an excellent week. If we take this in small steps then by Saturday we should all be able to celebrate something positive! Who's with me????

    Make it a great day and know that I think you are FANTASTIC for working so hard. Remember, we are on a journey, not a diet...small slips are ok as long as you get right back on track. I'm back...are you?

    Hello everyone. I slipped big time yesterday. I went way over in calories and didn't get any exercising in. Believe me, I am feeling it today, and the scale showed it too. I hope I can get it back off plus some by Wednesday (my official weigh-in). I am back on track now. I have already gotten 9 glasses of water in, and I am really watching my calorie intake. Holidays are always so hard on me, but it was a good day. I am glad it is over though, so I can get back on track now. We all have off days though, so I am just jumping back on the bandwagon now. I will have a late night tonight, so I will probably only be doing my 20 min workout (Turbojam) burning about 242 calories. If I have the energy and time, I am also going to do my Ab jam burning an additional 191 calories. I will just have to see. Have a great Monday everyone!!!

    Didn't eat the best today but stayed within my calories. BUT did a 45 minute kickboxing class, 40 minutes on the treadmill, and walked the dog. I must loose something this week. It has been like 6 weeks with no loss. My Hawaii trip is booked for the end of June so I must loose these last 5lbs and tone up.
