Halloween Hot Tamales (former Hot for Halloween) Week 1 weig

Options
Hi Everyone,

Today is weigh-in day. I'm looking forward to seeing our progress!

I am 235.8, down 1 pound. I've been working out regularly and really feel bad if I skip a day. I workout 4-6 days/week with a trainer (2x/wk) and various workout DVDs and C25K. I was doing P90X but after doing each video twice, got bored and took a break. I found THE BEST workout DVD. I am in love with a Jackie Warner Personal Training Circuit DVD which has a 15 minute Total Body Workout. I do that in addition to 20-30 min. of cardio....I can't say enough good things about that short but effective workout.

I'm hoping to have a great week, keeping up the workouts and calorie counting. I'm eating my exercise calories because I might get homicidal if I don't.

    Down 1 lb this week!! It's not much but I'm pretty excited considering my weekends are usually so bad. I really need to focus on doing better during the weekends!

    I'm down 2 pounds since last week, we have had a lot of rain (everyday) so I have been in the gym on the treadmill instead of outside. I guess this is the jolt I needed! :bigsmile: I do my kettle bell workout this afternoon, the flappy arm skin is starting to bug me!

    Well, I lost 2#'s But, because of my previous gain before the challenge I'm only down 1#.
    I'm using "The Firm" videos and every other day I use my elliptical.

    6 lbs down today! Since last weigh in 2 weeks ago. I am doing a fitness bootcamp 5-6 days a week, for an hour. It's a combination of cardio, plyometrics and some light hand weight exercises. Also down 2 inches on my waist and hips and 3 inches on my chest! =)

    I'm on cloud 9... ha ha... This is the first time I have actually gotten results consistently, and I'm already at a lower weight than I have been in almost 15 years. I'm happy and loving the bootcamp. =)

    I just ordered the DVD. You made it sound so good, how could I resist?

    sandy, let me know what you think! That DVD has several sections so you can do a 15 min. legs, or 15 min. arms, or 15 min. abs or 15 whole body. I love being able to pick a body part to work quickly. She's a really good instructor too, IMO. I hope you like it.

    The only thing that annoyed me on that DVD was that for every other stretch/exercise move she'd say, "This is my favorite. I could do this all day." She has like 10 favorites, LOL.

    Down 2 pounds this week. 226 now. I worked out everyday last week, and unfortunately tonight my right knee hurts really bad. I think it's because I've been doing a lot of lower body exercises pretty much everyday. I hope it's just a normal ache and I can continue my exercising tomorrow. If it still hurts bad, I'll take a day off, but I *really* don't want to. Ugh.

    Anyway, plan is 5-6 days (minimum) cardio and 4-6 days strength. But I might need to lower the strength if the pain persists. I eat at least half of my exercise calories.
