Dragonfly11

Good Morning Family,
Just a quik check in - I did the 20min this morning befor work - not what I had hoped for but at least I'm getting more consistent!
I've packed my lunch (good for me stuff) , got my pedometer and have already decided on walking tonight!

It's going to be a great day and I hope you all are feeling it!

Janet

HipsLipsMama

I am bummin today..
I have been a little sick for the last 2.5 days.. day before yesterday i started to do P,K, &J and I just could not get into it! I stopped after 20 minutes and havent exercised since :sad:

i am sooo unmotivated and sapped for energy...please send some prayers/good vibes my way so i can get back on track! :sick:

have a great day girls

I had FB this morning ... only 16 days left until I'm done with my first round of P90X so I'm looking forward to exploring all the Turbo Jam sculpt videos afterward.

Elyse, sorry to hear you're sick. Have you ever considered Acai? I get mine on eBay for really cheap and haven't been sick once since starting it back in March. It doesn't help with weight loss but it does wonders for boosting immunity!

Oh no what are you sick with? Depending on what it is will depend on what I tell you. Most basic things like a cold, headache, woman issues:) can actually be remedied a little with some basic exercises. I always tell myself to get up walking..and if you want to do turbo jam..just do it lower key (if you have a temp you are burning more cals anyway!). It usually make you feel a little better! Being sick is a good reason to do lower key though..don't want to keep being sick long term!
And remember..you will always have setbacks..it's how you come back from them that sets you apart..I got faith in ya!
I have only been using it about a month..but you can also use Shakeology for improved health (it's made by beach body..Chalene from turbo jam is a big fan..you can read about it in her blog on how she FREAKED out when she didn't have enough to go to Hawaii with her!). It comes in chocolate and greenberry. I love the chocolate..I make mine so it's chocolate with yogurt, cinnamon, ice, water, soy or almond milk, and PB2...so YUM!! You can get more info on www.shakeology.com.
Get better...and congrats to ghanie on P90X!

Hi Everyone!
Good job on your workouts ladies!

Elyse, sorry you're not feeling well...get better soon!!! :flowerforyou:

No workout for me today...I've been watching my 4 month old niece since yesterday afternoon, whew! I forgot what that was like! :yawn: She's adorable, but thankfully going back to Mommy and Daddy this evening!

Have a great evening everyone,

Dragonfly11

Hips,
So sorry you're down rest up and I have to agree w/ ccfett, walking is good and, if you're up to it, the low version of TJ - might try something shorter or less intense that PK & J - that's pretty ambitious, especially when your not on.
I take plain ole , unimpressive vitamen C - I am incontact with people all day long and they are always coming down w/ one virus or another and touching everything and everybody. People are so afraid to lose their jobs they come to work sick ~ go figure... Anyway, the vitamen C and tons of water keep me pretty protected. I haven't have a flu shot ever in my life and I haven't had the flu or a cold this year.
I have to attribute it to the C ( and the other vitamens - a multi, B12, calcium and fish oil) - I take about 1500 mg of C daily - Might sound like a lot but it seems to work.
Most importantly, take care of yourself and listen to your body. Get better real soon and then get back after it.

To all I missed I love you guys and am proud of all of you,
Janet

I haven't been able to check in 4 a couple of weeks due to my new schedule...I'm in school now but I still workout with CP daily b4 school and I get in 4-6 power walks a day. Hope all is well with everyone else. Just stay encouraged and keep your eyes on the prize (your goals). There is a light @ the end of this tunnel!!

Much success to all of you (us)!!!

Good morning team!
I went out for a run this am...LOT less humid...it was great..rocked it out to some Kenny Chesney, Footloose, Keith Urban (Who Wouldn't Want to Be Me!). I am going to buy my new Bowflex weights later (excited for them..not the bill:)..and then to ChaLEAN Extreme!
Great job by everyone this week! I have some groups I do on facebook that have some other fellow turbo jammers, etc ..so if you are on facebook join me on there too (Casey Fett).
Happy FRIDAY!!!

Hey Family,
Checking just to remind myself of my goals!! Had to leave for work at 5:15 and got up too late for even the 20 min!! But I checkecd my exerciase log and I've over my weekly quota in time and in cals burned!
My body really feels the additional work I did last night so that's real encouraging!

Ccfett - glad your run was good this morning, the weather here is so brutal! it's been over 105 everyday this week even after 5pm! I don't even try for a walk/run until after 730pm or so. Maybe tomorrow am I'll get up early!! BTW I'm singing it with you "Yea Friday, Woo Hoo!!"

Juicy - hope school is going well for you and glad to see you checking in! Love the new pic!!! I had no doubt you were still after it girl ~ keep up the great work - we can do this!!

Love to all I missed and catch ya later,
Janet

Happy Friday Everyone!

Checking in with CE Lean 3 and 60 min run/walk. My arms are shaking so bad from Lean 3 I can barely type...Love it!!!

Casey, I sent you a friend request on FB.

Juicy, nice to see you checking in. Great job keeping up with your workouts with your school demands! :drinker:

Janet, what's up girl?!?! Haven't talked to ya in a while!

Have a great day ladies!

Checking in with LBJ last night! I tried to get FB in there too, but was way too exhausted from LBJ! My mind and body keep telling me that I'm too tired to exercise, but I'm trying to push through all that! :ohwell: Oh well, wish me luck!!

I know there's a couple other CE'er on here...for those of you that are in the Push or beyond, is it feasbile to do Push 2&3 back to back in the same day? I'm leaving for vacation on Wednesday (when I'm scheduled to do Push 2) and not back in town until Sunday or Monday. I don't want to push my 1st week of Push off, as I have a goal date in mind to finish the whole 90 day program. Let me know what you think for those of you that have been through Push.

Thanks!

CP1 today and I finally got all those kicks, yay! I think I can finally get through these things without any missteps, hehe. Now if only I can learn some of that freestyle stuff :laugh:.

I'm looking into some ballet workouts to do in place of P90X once that's done in a few weeks. I've always wanted to take ballet but is way too expensive. But I'll settle for working out like one now that I'm strong enough.

Hi Erika, I did Push 2&3 once in the same day one time for the same reason. I figured that alot of people do weight lifting for an hour so it would probably be ok. The good thing about the Push phase is that it works different body parts in each routine so I was able to get through both with no problem. I don't think I could do it with the Lean Phase however! Good Luck and have a great vacation!

Ghanie, I have the New York City Ballet workouts (1 & 2) that I do to mix things up. I really love them and they're good whether you're a beginner to ballet or someone with experience.

HipsLipsMama

thank you everyone for your well wishes!!! i am feeling better today and going to do 20 min to ease myself back into things tonight! then probably 20 min and 3T tomorrow.

i would love to use shakeology but its just so *expensive*! i hope beach body lowers the price soon!!!

i will have to check out new york city ballet. does anyone have any good bellydancing videos?? ive always wanted to learn that!

yesterday i was listening to the black eyed peas at work (i love "dont lie") and no one was here so i just had to get up and dance. omgoodness! my stomach was cramping and i was out of breath after like 8 minutes of going nuts! lol

That's one of the ones I was looking at ... also Ballet Boot Camp and Element: Ballet Conditioning.

Right now I have The Bar Method which I fell in love with yesterday. Even after all my yoga and P90X workouts, my muscles were on fire ... and then the deep stretch right afterward .... heaven!

hi -

I'm new to turbo jam (Just borrowed a set from a friend). I have learn and burn, 20 min workout, turbo sculpt, ab jam and cardio party, cardio party mix 2, and punch kick and jam.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the books to go with them. Is there an order/plan that I'm supposed to be following with these? I didn't search because I never have good luck with it. If it's listed somewhere on the site, can someone direct me to the link?

PS - I did learn and burn and cardio party today and loved it. I can see why you're all hooked.

Hey ann, are you still doing P90X also? ... I sent you the schedule that uses all but CP2 and PKJ but you can always swap one for another.

By the way, I previewed the NYC Ballet Workouts and OMG, I can't believe I have to wait 2 weeks before I can try them! It's gonna take superhuman strength to stay away long enough to finish P90X, haha.

Hi Everyone,
Checking in with Lean 1 and 60 min run/walk. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

So I managed to get a hold of Element: Ballet Conditioning and tried it this morning ... Wow, this one is going to take months to master! There are no fancy dance routines, just pure conditioning exercises. And if you think weight lifting or yoga kicks your butt, this one will make you feel like a weakling all over again. It's a completely different form of torture, hehe.

Anyway, Ab Jam and Kenpo X later today ... I just wanted to share my pain.

Juicey1401

School is going good. Thanks for the comment on the new pic; my daughter had to almost make me take it...lol. Will be taken them more often to post.

Much success to all of you(us)!!

Ab Jam is done, yay! You really feel that one after a good cardio workout. I'm finally not dying so much toward the end, hehe.

Thanks Dara and great job on your workouts this week! I really think CE is the most amazing workout program I ever tried. I love TJ of course, but I'm so amazed at how much my body has changed doing CE for a little over two months! Once you start, give yourself a couple weeks to adjust to the different mindset, then I'm sure you'll be hooked!! :flowerforyou:

It's rest day for me but I'll probably go swimming later. It's a hot and humid one in southern california.
