Thanks everyone.
Today was my 6/7 with 4.25 mile run/walk. Wasn't really feeling 100% which made it hard to run. So I did the best I can.
I am going to try that Workout on the dreadmill because I really could use help me with my speed. I have the endurance but man, I am like a put put some days.
Verda maybe after the summer I will try JM revolution. I told myself no more commitments, I am going to enjoy the new hubbie for 2 months before returning to wotk.
Great work Heather. Definitely an inspiration after giving birth and you are leaving me in the dust lol
Everyone have a great Saturday0 -
3/7 Thurs with 25 min outside and 15 of the firm
4/7 Fri with 5.1 miles walking outside. These walks are hard on my pelvis for some reason. I was playing with my niece the other day doing squats. The next day I found out you can out squat a 2 year old but you'll pay for it the next day!!
Thinktank - a ten. You are a perfect 10 dear, no altering necesary
Heather- I am agreeing with Debra. I are doing amazingly well after giving birth
Debra - Awesome calorie burn!!
Verda- How long is JM revolution
Choco- glad to see you back

MY 6/7 was JMBR phase 1 WORKOUT 4 and two 20 minute kickboxing workouts plus some extra abs and such! I am NOT losing ANY weight with all this EXTRA either!:grumble: I will measure again next week to see if there are inches disappearing!0 -

Good morning everyone,
I am 7/7 this morning with a walk (not run) with the stroller. I just said not today. So we walked until it was too hot which was about 9:15 am. I am going to try for another workout this evening.
The big day is JUNE 9. Woohoo!!! We will be getting married in Mexico, and spend a few additional days there with another couple who got married in March0 -
Hello out there No one is home.
Ok I did a second workout 1 mile elliptical and 11 miles cycling. That gives me 15 miles for the day.0 -

Way to get 2 workouts in today!!!! You put me to shame.... only a small walk inbetween games for me/// we did not play so well... back tomorrow early, 8 am game.. we can't lose tomorrow or we are out... I hope you don't hear from me until evening!0 -
Good luck with the game and any exercise is good exercise. I will be leaving for Mexico on your Birthday.
I begin the week off with 1/7. Left the house early 6:30 am to get a jump on the heat. With my stroller mate, my nephew we managed 6.23 miles before the heat. I burned a whopping 1007 calories. I dont think I need an additional workout today. But knowing me, it is possible.
Happy Sunday everyone.0 -
Hey ladies! Hope you've all had a good weekend! I took yesterday off--I just needed a break! I'm 1/7 today with a 4 mile run on the treadmill at 6mph plus warm up and cool down walk. Woo hoo!!! I can feel my endurance improving every time I run!
Oops, sounds like the baby is waking up, so better run! Keep up the fabulous work everyone!0 -
Great job Heather! I too took yesterday off. I needed it all the way around!!
Today 1/7 was a 3.25 mile walk on the TM while watching Are You smarter than a 5th grader? NO I am NOT!!!0 -
Great job Heather.
I think I might be addicted to running. I was out my house at 4:30 to meet the running group at 4:45 for a 5 am take off. Humm!!! I never get out the house that early. Ran my 3 miles, made it home, and to work. And surprisingly I am not tired. Might have to try that again lol0 -
Awesome everyone!
Thinktank.. I am not feeling very well at all today, really had to force myself to get some yoga in. I feel pretty lazy now knowing you got up so early, ran and went to work....
1/7 with yogini for me today.0 -
1/7 2.4 miles so far.0
-
Boy I must have needed the break this weekend cuz today I got after it!
Pushed play on my dvd player at 5 a.m. and nothing... so I messed around with it for sometime and just gave up, I hopped on the TM for a quick mile cuz that was about all the time I had left!. I hate it when that happens especially when I am not quite awake! After work I had an upset stomach so I layed around for awhile and finally decided to get after and get after it I did! We had 60+ mph winds yesterday causing power surges so I figured if I shut everything down on the TV/dvd player and restart everything it may work and it did! SO I did my Jillian BR workout that I was to do at 5 a.m., ran another 4.25 miles on the TM and did a cool down ride on my bike for another mile. I burned 796 calories in my gettin after it today! I think I'm good for 2/7!! 0 -

You guys are KILLING it!!!
Debra--way to get the yoga in despite not feeling well!
Ivy--great job on putting the miles in
Verda--I think that your nickname should be "the beast"!
Thinktank--that is AMAZING getting out for a 5am run. I'd like to train for a half marathon and think that joining a running group would be the best way to train, and once I go back to work the early mornings will be the only option. Hmmm....may have to look into that craziness.
My 2/7 today was a 5K run in my neighborhood in 33 minutes (pretty hilly, yuck!) plus warm up and cool down walk. I much prefer running on my treadmill, but I know training outdoors with the hills is what I need--but it makes me realize how out of shape I am. But I know with consistent training I'll get better and get faster!!!0 -
Ok for starters, I should introduce myself with my name been here long enough it's AILA pronounced eye la or as my fiance says i love lol. Ok moving on
Debra hope you are feeling better
Heather you are doing awesome. You are definitely a motivator for me. I am going to keep pushing. My short term summer goal will be to get my 3 miles to 35 minutes.
Verda you are rocking your workouts.
For me this is my 3/7. I did 1.5 on the elliptical, 6 miles on the bike and 2.6 mile walk on the dreadmill. With that being said I hardly burned any calories around 527. If I was running those miles I would have had some killer calories. Hey I guess that's what happens when you improve your health.
Everyone have a good night and a happy morning0 -
Hey friends...
Aila... love that name!! Thanks for asking.. I am feeling better.great work out for you today... I miss my bike....
2/7 for me... I hit the treadmill, was just goign to speed walk, but endding up with some running thrown in too... was keeping a 10 min mile pace..felt pretty good. The dog wanted out to I jumped off treadmill and went outdoors and did some jumpping jacks, push ups and tri dips around the tree house... then I ran 2 laps around our field... the ones I usually take my grandsons on.. it is a steap hill on one part.... I forgot my HR monitor... so I am going with what MPF says... but I was working it pretty hard..so it might of been a few more calories!
Heather... I would say that is a pretty awesome time for a hilly 5k! Great job... you must still be feeling great... I was worried after a couple weeks.. that yo might get hit with some exhaustion... but no.... your just an animal....
haha... Like Verda!! What did you do today my friend? I am sure you brought it!!
Hey Ivy... hope you brought it today too!!!0 -
Ah, you guys are too nice--and trust me, you ALL are my inspiration. Days that I'm just feeling lazy and don't need a break but don't feel like working out I just think about all the wonderful ladies on this thread and that usually gives me the motivation to get a workout in!
Aila--love the name! And a 35 min 3 mile run is totally obtainable for you--I know you can do it! I definitely am going to be working on speed and hill work in the coming months--just gotta get through this 5K next weekend!
Debra--I love how you mix it up and can jump off the treadmill (nice run, by the way!) and go out and do tricep dips, etc. For me, if I have a workout that is interrupted I just give up on it, but you keep going!!!
Ivy and Verda, keep up the fab work.
Hope you all have a wonderful night! I'm hoping to do Debra's shape speed/hill treadmill interval workout tomorrow, will keep you posted! 0 -
GOOD JOB LADIES!!! YOU ALL ARE DOING AWESOME!! Must be the spring weather!!
3/7 was a 5 a.m. workout with Jillian and after that it was a busy day. I worked most of the day then drove one way 90 miles for a dr visit (yearly),was there for an 1.5 hrs, had dinner with DH and drove back home! Got home and it was too early to go to bed and even though I felt exhausted I took my pooches for a 2.75 mile speed walk! I am ready for bed and I pray I sleep most of the night, damn hot flashes & carpel tunnel wake me alot!0 -
Great job Verda!! And wow--you must really like your doctor to drive 90 miles to see him/her! I always feel bad when my patients travel long distances to see me, but I'm one of just a handful of physicians in my subspecialty in the state, so I guess they don't have a choice!
My 3/7 this morning was a run on the treadmill with some speed work. Now I'm gonna go check on my munchkin who sounds like he's waking up. Hope you guys have a great day!!!0 -
quick entry today 3 miles this morning.
Hope everyone is having a terrific Hump Day0 -
Heather, remember I live in RURAL Montana! I drive almost 30 miles for a gallon of milk!:laugh: :laugh: Plus that far for my job!
My 4/7 was 15 miles on my bike (it was a BEAUTIFUL 77*) with upper,lower and ab work!!0 -
Hey... friends.. making it in here late tonight! 3/7 with a speed walk thru our woods and then 2 miles up the road and back... it was a very nice day here today... but while I was walking a little rain cloud came over me..haha, rained for about 5 minutes and then the sun came back out... I thought that was kinda neat???? I know I am a silly one!
Went to a track night tonight and I ran into my cousin whom just had a baby,..... Heather I thought of you and your adorable little new born... babies sure are precious ..so tiny, I love little hands and feet :bigsmile:
Verda... you poor thing, what a drive. I need to get in for my yearIy I have been puttin it off...:ohwell: I didnt realize you drove so far for work... they are so lucky to have you!
Hey Aila.... hope your day is great too.....
IVY???? Where are you sweet Ivy????
Need to go log the food....my least favorite...and a little late now if I did go over :laugh: :laugh: , but I am making myself do it!0 -
2/7Tues walking outside and 15 min of the firm.
3/7Wed 2 miles with leslie and walking on break
4/7 working on it 6 min so far 2 of jogging. They say if you jog an hour a week it is good for heart health. I figure that is 12 min per day five days a week. LOL!0 -
4/7 4 miles with leslie 11 min on treadmill only 4 jogging.0
-
5/7 2.5 miles before 10 am Woohoo. I am not a morning girl...
Hope everyone has a happy friday!0 -
4/7 yesterday with 1.7 mile job plus walking, both pushing the stroller. Thank goodness my parents live in a flat area!
5/7 this morning with a 3.4 mile job in 34:30 plus warmup and cooldown walk. I was feeling like I was going really slow b/c I thought the route was only 3 miles, so I was pleased to find out it is a 3.4 mile route when I checked it on runkeeper.com. That made me feel much better!!
Probably will take tomorrow off to recover from 3 days of outdoor running. Will likely get a nice jog in on Sunday on my treadmill when we get back home.
Hope you guys have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas if I don't get a chance to check back in before Sunday! Keep going strong you fabulous ladies!!!0 -
Yesterday I was 5/7 with a 3 mile morning run0
-
Okay, I lied--I didn't end up taking today off! We were supposed to go out to dinner last night, but plans changed so we're going out tonight, and I definitely wanted a little more of a calorie cushion! So today I'm 6/7 with a 3.4 mile run in my parents neighborhood in 36 minutes, plus 9 min w/u and c/d walking. My pace was a little slower today, around 5.7 mph, but it was more comfortable. I am definitely taking tomorrow off, because running outdoors 4 days in a row has made me a little sore.
Keep up the good work ladies, and Happy Mother's Day weekend!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0
