I forgot about this weeks challenge yesterday
( going to the gym tonight and get caught up if I can. 0 -
waist: -4"
Um....I will totally take a -4" on my waist! LOL I hope I'm as lucky as you by the time I finish!0 -
naesue - rock on with the calorie burns - that's fantastic!
yesterday I was able to burn 590, but I accidently reset my HRM, so I might be off by about 15 min of exercise
Was part of that from Shred?
Yep, I had turned off the hrm right before and forgot to turn it back on0 -
I finally finished the 30 day shred yesterday! I took 3 days off in September so I didn't want to do any measurements or anything until I had completed 30 days. I also didn't measure my arms or legs at all. I probably should have because I rocked a whole lot of girlie push ups but those aren't really my problem areas.
Total loss: -10lbs
waist: -4"
hips: -2.5"
under boob: -3"
(I have no idea what this area is called!)
I also made September my Elliptical month so I was at the gym at least 4 nights a week. I thought I would lose a little more weight than I did. Damn you PCOS!!
I know a bunch of you are currently doing 30DS so I hope this helps push you through. I think I might try to continue, but I need at least a 2-3 day Jillian rest...
Fantastic results - I'm doing the 30 ds part time to augment my normal workouts so won't do it every day0 -
Well done on the 30DS results. I am on my second day of Turbo Fire plan also I have started to add walking to and from work. Made some big differences and also like Turbo Fire but heck is hard work. However what needed to keep me from making excuses not to do it.0

OMG I just got a phone call from my dad my step brother, who is only 29 with two young children and a wife, suffered a pulmonary embolism today had a massive heart attack and passed away. I am in complete shock right now and am fighting the urge to undo everything I did today and eat that whole damn pie that is sitting in my kitchen. He was an awesome musician with a beautiful voice. His oldest child has learning problems and is possibly autistic. I am praying tonight for my step mom and for his young wife I can only imagine what they are going through tonight and what the upcomming days, weeks, months, and years are going to look like.0

What a shock! Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
The pie won't make you feel better... especially the whole darned thing. But it's not unreasonable to have a slice.0 -

So sorry to hear that. I have your whole family in my prayers!0 -
Having an up and down week. Got some great burns in Sunday and Monday, although probably not 250 or more, but more than I have done in a while consistently and purposely. Today, not so much. Hoping that my 500 overage today doesn't cause a disappointment on the scale in the morning. Trying to stay on top of grad school, work, paying bills, getting enough sleep, watching my diet, being a mom, and a busy social life. Some days it is good and others like today kind of suck. I am sorry to hear about the several unexpected life changes that are happening in the group. Makes my problems very light in comparison. I urge everyone no matter what is going on in your life to keep trying to do this. It is not one day that kills us but the lifetime of bad habits and addictive behaviors. I keep trying to remember that.0

Recipe Wednesday!
I love making fajitas and having leftover components in containers in the fridge for quick healthy meals later on. Here's my basic "recipe"
Container 1 - Peppers and Onions
1 large onion, cut into strips/thin wedges
2 sweet peppers cut into strips
* Grill in a grill basket or on high-heat in a grill/sautee pan on the stove until just tender. I like to leave them halfway crispy.
Container 2 - Veggie bean & corn base
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons hot chili powder (or regular chili powder with added cayenne or hot sauce - heat to taste)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lime, zested and juiced
6 oz frozen corn kernels
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
* Mix everything together and let it sit about an hour before serving.
Container 3 - Meat (if you like...)
•3 Tbsp. cornstarch
•2 Tbsp. chili powder
•1 Tbsp. salt
•1 Tbsp. paprika
•1 Tbsp. sugar
•2-1/2 tsp. crushed chicken bouillon cube
•1-1/2 tsp. onion powder
•1/2 tsp. garlic powder
•1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
•1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
•1/2 tsp. cumin
From http://busycooks.about.com/od/homemademixes/r/fajitaseasonmix.htm
* Combine all ingredients. This makes a lot... I make it once and use it several times.
* Cut chicken or steak into strips and rub with the mix.
* Grill or sautee on high heat.
Then just build your favorite fajita! Add salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole as you like (and calories allow). Put it in a Flat-out wrap (100 calories!), or build it into a salad over lettuce using sour cream and salsa as a "dressing".
Enjoy! 0 -
Thanks....I saw that
just never thought about what it meant...duh...:blushing: 0 -

wow we are on page 20 already pretty soon we will jump to a new thread. That is pretty crazy. I'm doing much better guys. had kind of a bad eating day and a really low exercise day but I will be back on top of it tomorrow. Funeral plans have been made and this is going to be a huge funeral he was a very loved individual. He was a friend to many and an enemie to none. So now I need to find something fabulous to wear! I have not seen many of these people since High school and the family in a long time and most because of facebook know that I have been working hard to lose this weight and have recently hit the 50 lbs lost mark. So I want to look my absolutely best and thinnest. Thinking I may need to go shopping!0

@naesue - If you buy a dress, totally look for one with a belt. I swear it drops like an extra 20lbs from the whole "look" because it makes your waist look tiny! That is great to hear that he was such a good person!0

Its by the same people. Beach body makes A LOT of videos. I don't think its as intense as insanity though. Speaking of Insanity....I'm thinking of trying it after 30 Day Shred...but wondering if it will be too much. :noway:0 -
Need some motivation... Failing miserably over here.:sad:0
