I managed a treadmill work out today!! It was a tough one! I almost chalked today up to a REST day & then at the last minute I pulled myself together & handled my business! :laugh: Anyway, I feel great now!! I'm about to tune into the BL now & finish my salad from dinner! I have over 400 calories that I haven't eaten yet so I better get something down!

Good night! Keep on keepin on!!

Oh yeah, welcome back JL!! Amen to that whole house fallin apart stuff! Enjoy your booty kickin dvd!!

Thank you Sanifrey for thinking so much of me and pushing me. Everyone else that has been here for me I appreciate it so much. I just need to get my mind set right back where it needs to be. I have a whole lot going thru my mind. I wish I could just get a clear mind but even if I am alone I always end of thinking of all the bad. I will get there and be where I need to be. Thanks again everyone. You are all doing so great!! You are very motivational!

I've had a sick 3 year old since super bowl. I haven't got an exercise in yet. She spikes fevers that are unheard of in no time at all. So I have to continually check her and feel her. She does this medicated. I told DH I really wanted to workout tonight. So supportive DH is in the garage tinkering on his motorcycle. I can't workout with out her being supervised. :grumble: :mad: Maybe I can convince her to stay in the bedroom with me. She likes to get "healthy" with me. She does the ablounge while I use the gazelle and we switch. My own workout buddy! I"m going to go try it. I can't believe I miss working out! I barely passed PE in school. Just not me! Boy how it has changed since the BL challenge.

Morning all!

I went rollerblading yesterday no falls :drinker:

My HRM showed 680 calories burned in 66 minutes.

JL - glad you are closer to recovery and will be able to start your workouts again.

Nicole - You on a mission! Keep doin it girl! I'm thinking of buying the 30 day shred.

Sanifrey - I know you felt awesome after, not feeling like working out, then your "healthy mind" took over and made you stick with it. That is fantastic!

I'm gonna have to take a rest day today, cause of appointments, but i really was trying to figure out a way how I can get a workout in. Then I thought to myself-- I'm really becoming used to this workout thing. I never thought "Working out" would be a part of my daily routine.

Bostongirl - Welcome :flowerforyou:

superjewels- Hope your baby gets better soon

I did get some workout in yesterday. It was only 20 minutes. But, on a good note I shortened my mile again. When I first started I was at 15min miles on my gazelle. Last night I did it in 11:40. I can't believe it. I think by summer I might be in single digits. Kinda scary to think!!??:noway: I'm going to up my gazelle time to an hour a day. I usually get 20 minutes of walking in and I try to do atleast 20 minutes of cardio from some workout recorded so. I do 50 minutes of strength training a day. So I will have a very busy workout schedule. I can't believe I like it and am excited to get back to it. Haven't done strength training since Saturday!
Thanks for the good wishes for my daughter!!!:bigsmile:

sanifrey

Did my Biggest Loser Cardio DVD + day 2 of week 5 pushup challenge + 100 crunches = 400 calories burned according to my HRM! I had to jump up & down to get those last couple of calories so that I'd break the 400!! LOL!! :laugh: I felt pretty silly but why settle for 395 when you can have 400??!!

Keep Movin'!! :drinker:

dewassel

I need a new scale. I weighed myself this a.m. & was the same but when I weighed in at work (Weigh In Wednesday) I lost a pound! Hopefully my scale will register it for Slim By Summer Weigh In Day!

Did 45 minutes on the treadmill & 15 minutes of strength training.

TROUBLE2

WOW what a cool support idea!

we should break it up into teams and have a team check in... like 3 or 4 people in a team we could name our teams and everything...

:noway: haha im getting way to excited about this lol...

i want to be on the tamtastic team

momtothreebabies

aww, superjewels, i hope your little one gets better!! i know what thats like, my 7 year old has no immune system, so he is always very very ill. they are good little workout buddies though arent they!
good news- no more shots and meds so i am free to work out tomorrow!!!! woo hoo!!!!!
im actually super excited, i have my new ipod, its all ready and im pumped!
Now, a stupid question, what is an HRM?? you guys keep talking about it! im so stupid sometimes about this kind of thing!!!!
i love you all!!!! keep working! we will be looking hot this summer!
Love, Jaelle

momtothreebabies

:blushing:

suprjewels

I did it!! I just did 60 minutes on the gazelle and burned 460 calories after subtracting my resting heart rate. Woohoo I feel accomplished. I was a sweating. I know doing this everyday will definately get those stubborn 3 pounds off to get me out of the 200's. I'm so excited!

HiandTri - Welcome!

JL - You are so funny! HRM are so much fun for me, I love seeing and Knowing that those calories are actually being burned... no if and or butts about it.

I went walking yesterday for 1 hour 40 minutes and burned 690 calories! YAY!

Nicole - where are you? Working out probably... lol

Dewessel - Don't concentrate too much on that scale number... use you clothes and the feeling you get after completing a workout.

Hi Cmalone,

Welcome!

Hi Everyone,

This is probably the one thing I need most help and support on!! EXERCISE!!! EEEKKKKKKKK!!! I am so out of shape its not funny. I started the eating part at the beginning of this week and have done pretty good in that arena. Exercise though not so good, actually extremely bad!! I got my treadmill out and dusted off, removed all cobwebs, and it still works!! I did it for about 10 minutes, I guess thats better than nothing and a start but I know I am going to struggle with exercise. I did order the Biggest Loser Cardio Workout, hoping that variety will help me out!! I think when all this snow is gone and I can walk outside I might do better. Anyways, enough of my life history of non-compliance with exercise! I hope this group will help me be more motivated....

Hang in there Kathy, a friend of mine told me that she lost 38 pounds watching TV, I was like GET outa here... she did... she moved her tread mill into the living room and watched her favorite shows while she walked on the treadmill. she said the next thing she knew she had walked over 1.5 hours... and completed like 7-8 miles. :noway: thats the best way to at least get back into working out... slow little steps, walking before we run right?

Welcome Newbies!!! :drinker: How exciting to have some new blood around here!! :drinker: It's also nice to have a guy around here!! Always makes for some interesting conversation!!

Today is my official REST day - which I just hate! I know that my body needs it, but I'm always a little afraid of falling into old habits & besides that , I can't eat as much!! LOL!! :laugh: :laugh: Anyway, I just had to check on everyone!!

Have a great day buddies & keep movin'!

there are two muscle groups in the human body that do not fatigue...

one of which is abs the other is calfs... youre calfs are made for walking, with that being said even on your off day you can walk... if you walk for 1/2 hour you could burn some calories and you are still giving your body rest. the best of both worlds...

I knew about abs but the calf thing is new to me!! Good to know!! I was actually considering a leisure stroll on the tread mill... Thanks for sharing!! :drinker:

I went walking yesterday for 1 hour 40 minutes and burned 690 calories! YAY!

Thanks for the support! I thought she was better. She went to school today and only lasted an hour. She's been begging for school. I gave her tylenol and thought we'd try it. Her doctor is an idiot. So I need to find a new one and see what is going on with her. Thanks for asking!
