No Lynnie, run away:noway:0 -
Marla - Beat that metabolism into submission! BEAT IT WITH THE WHOPPER WRAPPER! BAM! *smack* I hope you don't have as bad of a food hangover that I did when I did it. :sick: it wasn't pretty.
Lynnie - Lock it up & throw away the key! You are stronger than the food!
Bobbi - It would be a fabulous addition to the obituary. :laugh:
So, here's my gym story copy/pasted from the TurboJam thread (it was a TurboKick class I went to tonight so there's a lot of "lingo" thrown around...) Sorry if not much of it makes sense but I'm too tired to edit very well. Long story short...:
The class kicked my butt! 745 cals in an hour including 5 min. of abs at the end (b/c the rest of the dang class didn't want to do the dance party. Buttheads. Don't they know I already DID my abs for the day. The audacity. ). There were only a couple moves that I'd never seen before & I'm pretty sure they were pulled right out of the sky but they were good, too. I kept up really well, if i do say so myself. The one thing that was odd was that in between sets, she had everyone get their water (which I forgot ) and most of the people literally just stood there. Not many people kept moving. There I am with my weighted gloves, jumping around like an idiot, sweating PUDDLES and people are standing there. I don't think they understood the class very well.
Sooo...and hour later, we finish class and my friend & I go up to talk to her about her schedule b/c (according to Carrie) she's MUCH better than the other instructor. SHE teaches at the other one, too, she's just filling in for the night. BOO! BUT, Carrie walks away & she starts talking to me b/c she "noticed me" (and my dorky gloves). She asked me how long I'd been doing Turbo Kick. Umm...about an hour. So then we start talking about TJ. THEN wanted to know if I ever thought about being an instructor. OH EM GEE! There's a training coming up in my area at the end of March & she could get me $50 off the class fee. Yippy! I told her about my lack of being able to talk while I workout & she said that all that is is practice. She said you learn how to dial it back while you are teaching just enough to be able to shout out instruction. I think I could do that...eventually.
I'm torn about the possiblity of it but the lure of extra $ while I workout is something that really makes my mind spark up. I'll have to think about it....but it is exciting to know that I'm finally at a point in my fitness that someone would even ASK me to CONSIDER it! Talk about going from feeling like the elephant in the room to a giddy school girl. *giggle* *squeal*0 -
i love to stretch after, and i've been incorporating some ballet moves/stretches which feel so good. ahh
i've also heard that some people do stretches when they wake up in am--as their body is warmed from sleep.
or after shower--same reasoning.
i know i'm not in the black team, but i like to read your fun challenges. and the more time i'm typing here, the less opportunity to put food in my mouth!
It's okay. We accept honorary members too who just like to read our thread and sometimes do the challenges.0 -

:drinker: Kick some TURBO butt my friend!!:drinker:0 -
I have eaten everything not nailed down.
Two Reese's peanut butter eggs
Key lime pie
Lemon crumb pie
Bagel with butter
Bologna sandwich
Froot Loops
1/2 egg sandwich
Whopper/fries
Two donuts
And I ain't done yet. Blast this metabolism anyway--
Run for your lives, people-- SpongeMarla is beginning to absorb anything that's moving. Be afraid-- be very, very afraid.:devil:
Don't make yourself sick. If you end up eating so much that you throw up, that will not help jump start your metabolism.0 -
We went and got Harley's 6 month pictures taken today.
So adorable!!:smooched:
(watch out, I may just bite those cheeks!!)0 -
Sara - Yea! for going to the gym. I've never had the nerve to (except for the hotel gym a few months ago).
Jeannie - Good to see you again! We miss you not being on here so much. :flowerforyou:0 -
Yea, that work thing is really cutting into my fun!
0 -
Sara!!!!!!! That is totally, totally cool!!!!!!!! I'm so impressed and so proud of our lil' Miss Beans!!!!!
okay-- I'm done for the day-- one and a half plates of rigatoni al forno and a small McDonald's fries later, and I think I've reached my inner food tilt.
I truly don't know that I ate like this for the metabolism, or just to say "F it", pardon my letter, to this body for being so blinkin' stubborn and not rewarding my hard work.
I'm back on the bandwagon tomorrow--0 -

As "unhealthy" as it is, I think we all need days like that once in awhile as long as we start right back up the next day the right way! *hugs*0 -
And also, Marla, thank you. :smooched:0

A-greed. Every time I'm there, I see a few people that give me a little giggle.
I must have been doing something right because my loss got noticed today...by someone at work who I never thought would have noticed, let alone commented on it. Whoo hoo!0 -
Girl, you've lost 96 POUNDS! You would think everyone would notice! You ROCK, Shuntae!0

Shuntae - Think about it this way, you've lost a whole Hollywood celebrity!0

Sara, wtg, I knew you could do it.0

Girl, you've lost 96 POUNDS! You would think everyone would notice! You ROCK, Shuntae!
Thanks!
It's so funny to run into people I haven't seen since college (8 years now) when I was that heavy. Talk about double takes. I have to get some of my pictures from then on here.0 -
Shuntae, You lost 96 pounds, how does someone miss something like that?:noway:0
-
Shuntae - Think about it this way, you've lost a whole Hollywood celebrity!
HA! I hadn't thought about that!0 -
Shuntae, You lost 96 pounds, how does someone miss something like that?:noway:
I guess I should have clarified...I wasn't at my heaviest when I started at my job a little over 2 years ago, but almost half of the loss has come very slowly since then. Plenty of people have noticed/commented, but the person who said it today is not someone I would have ever expected to comment.0 -
I want to tell you what I did today. I started the couch to 3K program. Now before I say anything more I have to say I never was a runner. NEVER. I was a swimmer in school, no running involved there. Now my DH went to school on a track scholarship, running is in his blood. Not mine. But I figured I had to jump start the ol metabolism with something. Why running? Beats the heck out of me. Okay so let me say it wasn't pretty.:noway: I did fine for the first 2 jogging parts and then it was nope can't do it. Nope won't do it. Yeah I did it. Inhaler in hand. Will I do it again on Friday? You betcha I will.Why? I saw my DH run for the first time in years and he looked so happy. Yep, couch spud one and two will be running. It might take some time before I am willing to do it in front of people but I will complete the whole thing.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings0 -

Okay I checked its couch to 5K running. I hope it gets better. I doubt if it can get any worse.:grumble: Last thing I grabbed before I left the house was the cell. And I did my cool down. It was wonderful because I was able to breathe again.
So goodnight Black Team!0 -

WTG, Bobbi! You must be in my head b/c as soon as it is warm out, I have elaborate plans to start running every morning before my hubby heads off to work. I have not a running bone in my body! I played tennis in high school & the team complained if the coach made us run 3 laps around the courts! :laugh: I'm thinking it'll help me get the last of the jiggly off. :bigsmile: That's great that your hubby is running with you, too. My husband would leave me in the dust...he's done it before, he'll do it again. There's a reason we only do in-living room exercises together. I'd lose him otherwise! :laugh:
Thanks again for your words of encouragment! It meant a lot. :smooched:0 -

Stupid work. :grumble: I'm sure that you'll abuse that treadmill double-time tonight!
Not sure I'm going to make it to that spinning class like we talked about. BOO! The dude wanted to sell me a membership on the spot before I took a class or got on a machine & HE'S the one I have to deal with every time I go in for the next 14 days. I think I'll just have to decide if I want the membership or not & then go from there. I'm so torn! EEK!
How's THAT for a ramble?! lol0 -
The one thing I didn't eat up today...num num num...this girl is adorable....I want to eat her face!
:laugh: I tell Micah that I'm going to eat his face all the time. His little dimple makes a perfect serving bowl. :laugh:0
