    Hey all! A committed P90Xer here as well! :bigsmile: It's refreshing to see a thread on here that I can relate to as I am not a person that needs coddling. I've been lurking on this forum for awhile, but rarely have anything to contribute because of the "tone" of the other threads. It is nice to see some people on here with the same motivation as I have.

    Anyway, just thought I'd say hello!

    welcome aboard!!:drinker: im taking my fitness test today to see if im ready

    So... what are your goals? :tongue:

    Goal (one of several but this one is in my head most of the time)

    Do the Loop in 30 minutes

    There are some hiking trails near me that I started walking on awhile back...some steep inclines and rough terrain. There are several routes you can take out and back and one of them is a loop of just over 3 miles of the steepest rockiest inclines out there. The first time I did it...it was mostly a hard sweaty trudge along that took me an hour and 20 minutes and I had to slow to a real slow walk to rest...now I am running the flat sections and not resting anywhere along the loop and coming in at about 55 minutes...I want to be able to run the dang thing in 30 minutes

    BRING IT

    Oh thanks Jess! Way to raise the bar and make us put our goals out there for the community to see!

    I've been thinking about ChaLean. I really really want it, but I'm waiting to finish my P90X round before I get it. Can you give me a brief overview of how it differs from P90X, and what changes you are seeing?

    I hope to be able to run a half marathon soon too. I've NEVER been a runner. In fact, I've always considered running to be one of my weakest fitness points. But once it get's warmer out, I think I'm going to try to up my routine to a sort of doubles with a few miles of running in the morning and P90X at night (depending on class and work of course:happy: )

    My short-term goals are to lose 2 pounds per week with disciplined eating and proper nutrition. Ultimately, I hope to get down to a size 2/4 (I have a petite/medium frame) and 115 pounds. However, that might change depending on how I feel when I get closer. I also plan to finish my round of P90X on April 26, and from there I will decide if I am switching to a classic (doing lean right now) round or if it'll be time to bring on Chalean!

    So everyone. What are YOUR goals? And you over there, what are YOUR goals? Write 'em down, hit 'em, and make new ones!

    Off to class now!
    M

    No problem! I am a goal setter, and my hubby says I'm the most driven person he knows. :love:

    P90X vs. ChaLean.

    Ok, first of all, the ChaLean workouts are shorter, the average length is about 40 min per workout. They are broken down into 3 months (kind of similar to P90X)... the first month is the BURN month, then the PUSH month, then the LEAN month. You have 3 circuit strength workouts a week, the Burn Intervals (a fun mix of lighter weights and interval cardio), Burn It Off (high intensity cardio), ab workouts, and a recharge (yoga type) workout. They are focusing on SLOW movements with heavier weights, and teaching women NOT to be afraid of heavy weights or *bulking* up. The movements are different from P90X, the BURN and LEAN workouts are more compound (so a sumo squat and biceps curl at the same time, runners lunge and tricep kickback, etc). You are lifting for 10-12 reps as heavy as you can to failure. The PUSH month is for 6-8 reps and really focusing on the heavy weights then. Then there are EXTREME reps where you go as heavy and slow as you can for 3 reps after you fatigue the muscle. And of course pushups! I loooove pushups! :heart:

    Chalene is fun, motivating, and the workouts are all VERY well done. As with P90X, it comes with a nutrition guideline and a lot of great recipes.

    As for doubles, that is what I have done in the past. Running first thing in the AM, weights in late afternoon. It gives me time to recovery and I have the energy to lift heavier in the evening that way.

    Great goals! :wink:
  • Goals, Goals, Goals...

    My goal for this week is extra cardio. More specifically, Monday-Friday I plan to go to the gym and BRING IT as well as walk my super energetic puppy(she ALWAYS BRINGS IT) As for walking the puppy...I'm not talking about a stroll around the block. She needs at least an hour. Plus, I live in WA so lots of hills. According to my HRM, when I walk the puppy around the apt complex(3 laps, takes about an hour) I burn 450-500 calories(depending on how fast I tackle the main, steep uphill section)

    I'd also like to take one day this week to totally commit to exercise. It'll be Saturday. I haven't fully refined the plan yet, but it could be something like a day full of physical activity...wake up and walk the pup, go to 24hr Fitness with my bf, hike at Priest Point Park, play some basketball at our apt gym, walk around the lake. In between activities I would eat, of course, and run errands or anything else that needed to be done. My main focus would be exercise though. It sounds kinda fun.

    Hello Group! Now called BRING IT ha ha.

    I didn't have Internet access over the weekend and now that I'm back, I'm glad to see all that all of the bickering is over! I am really excited about this group/thread/place as a way to continue to challenge myself with other like-minded people. Thank you Michelle for starting it and I agree, you shouldn't defend yourself to anyone. :smile: Actually a couple months ago I started a similar thread called "Yo-Yo No More," about staying consistent and dedicated. There were some awesome contributors but not suprisingly everyone (including me) stopped posting. So I really hope we can keep this group active and consistent, maybe even do what they do in Clean Eating and start a new thread every month or whatever.

    As for me... I continued to eat well and exercise over the weekend. My friend and I are doing Jillian Michael's Making the Cut workout and we don't have the time to make *all* of those recipes and follow her menu plan, so we usually just eat well and count calories. On Saturday night we made her Grilled Tilapia Tacos except we substituted the tilapia with shrimp and the corn tortillas with low carb flour ones. It was *delicious* and healthy. :smile:

    Yesterday I found a fresh/organic fruit and veggie store that had so many great deals. I got fruit and veggies for the week for only $14.

    So I feel like I've had a great, exciting weekend. I took my dog for a run on Saturday and yesterday I did the MTC workout and also ran again with my other dog. I am going to look into these ChaLean workouts or the other workout you mentioned... P something??... for when we finish MTC, which is in like a week. I love workouts that show me new moves and always keep things interesting.

    I also meant to add... I have stuck to my calorie limit (1200 net... I usually exercise about 300 - 600 calories, so I can usually eat 1500 - 1800 calories a day) for the past week, although I had to "borrow" from a couple days. On Friday night my boyfriend and I had a date night at a restaurant and I ordered mahi mahi and salad but somehow the calories added up (I had two rum and diet cokes and a piece of bread and some regular salad dressing) and I was 450 over for Friday. So over the weekend I stayed 450 calories under. Does anyone else "swap" like this? I did stay at an average of 1200 net calories for each day for the past week, so I am going to weigh myself tomorrow and see if it paid off. Other than the restaurant I ate very healthy over the weekend, salad and fish and turkey and oatmeal etc.

    My goals lately have been to eat clean, to eat at least 4 fruits/veggies a day (I usually get in more), to stick to 1200 net calories per day, even if I have to average it out over the week, I want to make sure by the end of the week it all adds up to 1200 per day, and not to give into temptation, such as when my boyfriend or co-workers are eating bad stuff. I did great at that last night -- my boyfriend had Bob's Burgers which is green chili burgers and fries, and I used to "splurge" and order one and share the fries with him... not this time, it was no problem to say no and eat my turkey sub instead! I did have a couple small bites which I added in to my calorie log of course. :smile: I am so proud of myself for continuously being healthy food-wise, for the first time ever probably!

    I hope everyone else had a good weekend.

    Way to get back on track, sassiebritches.

    I was reading the article posted about people being critical when one works out on holidays and sticks to a healthy eating plan no matter what, etc. I have experienced this in my own life, even my workout buddies sometimes says, "why are you working out MORE today?" (And I am really not extreme... I just like to do both cardio AND weights when I'm at the gym.) I have heard comments like, "you have to live a little" and "you're not really going to skip dessert on me, are you?" It is especially hard when I visit home and my mom is offended if I don't eat what she makes or my family doesn't understand if I don't join in on eating ho-hos and other snacks. I kind of feel like the family freak.

    It's like sometimes people feel personally offended if *I* don't eat something they want me to or if I work out more than they think I should... I don't get it, what's it to them??? And I've been trying to figure out why *I* feel guilty/ashamed/embarrassed for doing what I think feels *right* for my body... eating well and working out, despite the occasion etc.


    I can't figure them out but I've decided I am going to stop feeling strange because of other people's reactions. I will just proudly say, "Yes, I'm going to run after we've done strength training, because I enjoy it." And "yes, I am skipping out on the brownie sundae because I don't think it's good for me." I think that people implicitly hear me saying "YOU should run too... the brownie sundae is bad for YOU and you shouldn't have it," and that's why they get defensive, and that's why I feel bad, because I don't want to be judgmental. But to be honest, I don't give two figs whether they run with me or whether they eat the brownie... I just want to be left alone and not made to feel embarrassed for what *I'm* doing! So I am going to remember that in the future and even if it sounds judgmental, that is not at all how I mean it... I just want to say, I am going to do things this way, thank you very much.

    I hear what you're saying! It's their thinking error though. It sounds like you're doing an amazing job. Maybe, eventually, those people will stop responding defensively and be inspired by you.

    Neeter that was perfectly said I think so many of us feel like "freaks" I know i go to my sisters a lot and well her ridiculous theory is she skips eating and drinksalcohol on weekends..I am like um thats totally NOT healthy ...and yet she complains if I tell her Im bringing my dvd's for excercise and food to her house when i visit lol..because i dont want to be put in a situation where i have to eat fried items everyday.

    I hear you myastyme! I bring canned tuna and protein bars in my suitcase when I fly home to visit my family... because those are better than the packaged sugary treats their house is full of. And once there I am always bugging them to take me to the grocery store so I can buy fruits and veggies etc. I guess that could look judgmental but really, I feel I need to stay healthy no matter what my environment.

    For a long time I didn't know a thing about nutrition and health (and I'm still learning a lot). It wasn't a priority and when I did try to think about it, I got confused. I think that most of my family is still stuck in this phase... my dad runs marathons and is in super good shape but he seriously feeds my younger siblings apple pie for breakfast, gives them candy and soda all day long, meals at McDonald's constantly.... and eats just as badly himself! :noway: I used to think I was "unlucky" because if I ate like he did, I could never lose weight, even if I ran and worked out a lot. But now I think, I'm lucky, because I've *had* to learn good nutrition. If I continued to eat all of those sweets and fast food, I'd have bigger problems than my weight.

    So I came to healthy eating based on weight but I really feel like there is a much bigger purpose to eating well... my health and well-being. So I can no longer say, "oh it's just a pop-tart, I can eat it with my mom and the kids..." because, ewwww, it's a pop-tart!! It does *nothing* for me nutritionally and in fact hurts me, so why eat it?

    I just wish they would understand. I don't want to lecture them and I usually shut my mouth but if THEY get on me about not eating something with the rest of them, I just think, something is backwards here!! I am the one being healthy, why do I feel punished and ridiculed??

    Now I just do my thing, quietly, and it helps that I'm not tempted to cave like I used to be. My favorite cereal used to be Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I used to have a hankering for Big Macs that I'd give into when I was at home, because everyone else was going to McDonald's so why not treat myself. Now it's like, no, I know now the reasons I eat well and I will continue to do so no matter what. But I just don't get this attitude about food.
  • "Seriously, take your anger and your tootsie rolls elsewhere..."

    LOL...I am peeing my pants right now! How many calories are in Tootsie Rolls? You ladies are kinda making me want some, BUT I'm going to choose to BRING IT and not eat them. By the way, for me personally, the concept of BRING IT and "hard core" is pushing myself in ways that are right for me.

    I really like the fact that this site has something for everyone...cake bakers...lifitng weights....girls scout cookie monsters, people who want motivation away from negative pity poopers, clean eating lean machines and all of it.

    Why someone would want to tell someone else you will fail is more a reflection of the authors issues than anything.

    Stay focused and stay positive.
    Bring It.

    It's as easy as not coming to this thread if you don't like it. We all have choices. Thanks!

    I'll pop in once in awhile, I find this very amusing, but not very likely to succeed, i'm in the industry and I see hard core everyday, most people on these boards are not yet ready for that, i'm a believer in whatever floats your boats, there's many more things in life to concern yourself with then whether or not you indulged in a stupid cookie today, live life healthy, youll see results.....as i'm eating tootsie rolls and loving every single chocolately bite! :laugh:

    Wow, that is one long run-on sentence. I'm glad you think that we are not likely to succeed because I love nothing more than to prove people wrong. Way to assume that we have nothing else in our lives but to fret about a cookie. :laugh: I think you may have missed the whole point of this thread. Seriously, take your anger and your tootsie rolls elsewhere if you can't accept that every thread on this board isn't going to be about stroking the egos of those who have no self-control or commitment to be healthy.


    This is what I was talking about.........anger, I don't have any of that....but the right to post my opnion, where, and how I want, I do have...and river rat, you don't have any more right to post than I do, did I edit to conform...absolutely, I don't want to "upset" anyone, my goal isn't to stroke ego's, I gotta hubby for that....but you're annoyance with me, was quite amusing at best, my grammar, not so hot, but if that's the best you bring, I think i'll be ok....:laugh:

    Oh yikes... still bickering are we? :laugh:

    happenstance I totally agree that this method works for me, I had to undergo a complete lifestyle change that involves saying NO to bad stuff and YES to good stuff. I'm not saying I NEVER have a bad thing... in fact, I think I will happily share a chocolate sundae with my boyfriend once a month for the rest of my life! But I say NO to junk like that almost all the time, and when I do have it, I realize it's a rare treat.

    I have tried to do the whole "I can eat this chocolate cookie from Subway and balance it in with my healthier turkey sub..." and it *hasn't* worked for me. In reality it's just been excuses... and what excuse is there to eat a big cookie except that it taste good and I feel like giving in?? The only thing that's worked is thinking, long-term "is eating a cookie a healthy choice? Is it going to help me acheive my best possible results?" to which the answers are obviously NO and NO. If someone thinks that eating cookies is going to help them acheive their best possible results, or they would rather sacrifice the best possible result for the short-term yumminess of a cookie, then, all the more power to them. But that isn't how I've found success. And I eventually got to a place where it is easy for me to say no to a cookie, because my taste buds aren't all screwed up from unnatrual or sugar-packed foods anymore. I would honestly rather have an orange, which is yummy too but in a better way! :smile:

    Has anyone in here read the Secret of Skinny Chicks? I really like the book's premise... it profiles different women and shows how they maintain a good weight... the point of it is that these women are *not* skinny naturally and have to consciously work hard to keep the kind of body that they want.

    I do have some issues with the book because *most* of the women have careers in fitness, acting, modeling, etc... so it's like, well yeah, it would be easier to maintain that body if it my lifestyle/paycheck depended on it and if I had the time to focus just on that. *But* it shows that even models and actresses don't have this easy life where they're born skinny and profit from it... they have to work hard to keep things that way. Also these women don't starve themselves or engage in unhealthy eating habits... most of them eat natural, clean, healthy foods and most count calories and some splurge on weekends or holidays etc. but they count that into their overall intake for the week.

    Anyway I think the book is inspiring along the lines that we've been discussing... if you really want something, you have to work for it and focus on it. I truly believe that nothing good comes easily and that everything good involves sacrifice and hard work!

    Hey everyone,

    I just want to remind everyone that we are not here to bicker about what's right and wrong. We know that this path is what's right for US, so we will continue to be forward looking and results-oriented, while maintaining balanced, fulfilling lifestyles, whether that includes cookies and tootsie rolls or not.

    That being said, I really don't know why someone would drop in just to taunt us and promote our failure. Seems like a waste of time.

    Anyway, as we said before, we'll do our best, forget the rest, and pay no attention to negative posts. It's funny how fitchick99's account is mysteriously deactivated already...

    Your posts are so disjointed it is a feat to actually respond to whatever point it is you are trying to get across. Let me end this little verbal spar by welcoming you to visit this thread anytime you see fit. I hope that eventually it will provide you some inspiration to make the adjustments in your life that you find make you a healthier person. As such, I will continue to lurk in the other threads about cake-eating to provide me inspiration to never be like that. The difference, however, is that I won't feel the need to post self-righteous comments about how I believe other people are going to fail at achieving their goals.

    BRING IT!!!!! :laugh:

    This is a final warning. The personal attacks need to stop, period. It doesn't matter how long you've been posting on the site, who started it, etc. I will suspend the next person that makes a personal attack, or anything even close to a personal attack.

    I have zero tolerance for personal attacks. There just isn't a place for them on these message boards.

    Come on guys! Don't let our thread be derailed and shut down because of a few negative posts. NO personal attacks, NO negative comments, and NO suspended members!

    Bring IT with your fitness, your nutrition, your goals, AND take the high road if someone does happen to say something negative. We all have high potential here, so don't let it get to us!

    Thanks.

    I BROUGHT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me anyways.....I got did a short 10 min low impact workout (got an ankle boo boo) and then hopped on my Gazelle and started off running, the new 10 min warmup aerobics is amazing, no more wasting the 10 mins on the Gazelle just getting warmed up.. I "used to" (meaning last week) do 25 mins on the Gazelle, the last 12 mins running full steam (ok any running for me is full steam right now :tongue: )....and that was it......I did burn between 350 and 400 cals in that 25 mins.......today I did the 10 min workout and then got on and started jogging at an even happy pace......got to the 400 cal burned point, popped off for 30 secs to stretch my ankles and back on for another 15 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the whole time really getting my heartrate up.....and breathlessly hollering BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my neighbors probably think I am nuts.......I BURNED 711 CALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I BRINGED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL I AM STOKED!!!! Nothing less anymore for me, now to eat.....lol

    Have a great all!~:drinker:

    Ok so today I did the fitness test and well I felt like collapsing so I finished but I started the first dvd for the p90x lean just to see if I could do it...well lol banana roller I'm not quite there just yet but my goal is to take the test every 2 weeks until I feel I can pass it and feel good....I did do my usual routine 2hrs so I feel great!! Also had a quick visit with my Doc regarding my weight loss he gave me the go ahead to continue on as I have been so I am happy..I will get my liver function tests back this week...it seems like everyone is doing great today and really motivated......:drinker:

    I want to do this...I know it will be hard but if I want it bad enough I'll suck it up!
  • I brought it! This morning I took my puppy on a fast-paced, long walk(lots of steep hills) She's passed out on the floor right now, haha. That takes care of part 1 of my daily exercise goal this week. Tonight...I go to the gym and BRING IT!

    Take care, everyone!

    PS-I don't want this thread to be derailed either! We'll be good, we promise! :bigsmile:
