Hello my Strong Girlfriends!

Today I burned about 350 cals at step & tone class. I really love starting my day on a good foot. I do, however, wish that I would've started my day here, at MFP, as my husband was able to tempt me with some of his snacks & treats. I'm so much better then that! I know better!! I think that my TOM made me weak. But, now that it's outta my system, I have the rest of the weekend to keep strong, work hard & pull it all together!

I'm really thinking some Tae Bo tomorrow or maybe some treadmill. I need a high calorie burn that's for sure!

We did this wonderful lower ab exercise in Wednesday's circiut training step class. They're called "throw downs". You need a partner. You lay on your back on the floor, legs together, feet raised straight up in the air. Your partner stands over you, behind your head & pushes/throws your feet back down as you raise them back up again. I forgot to mention that you hold onto your partner's ankles or shoes for leverage. As you get better & stronger, your partner can stop you short from letting you bring your legs all the way up, so that you're only getting a few inches off the ground.
We did these in a circiut for a minute non stop - only doing this particular exercise 2x or 2mins & I AM SO SORE!! I'm definately going to do more of these, once I heal up!! Maybe during commercial breaks!

Keep strong my Amigas Fuerte! Let's do this!!

KZOsMommy

Hey Amigas!

I hope that you all had a great weekend!!!

I worked out this morning, I have been doing all different high intensity cardio everyday this past week and it feels so great! AF (aunt flo) is due on Saturday and and I am keeping at the same weight so I am happy.

I am waiting to call the dentist this morning. I am still in a lot of pain and I tried calling their emergancy line this weekend and it told me on the machine they were open M-F 8-5. Hmmmmm does not sound like much and after hours number when you need the dentist! So I am going to give them an ear full about that and hope that they will fix whatever is wrong with this tooth. Right now I don't care much about what they have to do I just really need the pain to stop!

Make it a GREAT Monday!!!

Amanda:drinker:

Hola Amigas!!

I've been sick all weekend & not felt much like being here! While I was starting the new thread on Friday night, I started feeling sick to my stomache & ended up going to bed right after. I spent the reminder of the night barfing my guts out & was down & out all day Saturday. I started feeling a little better on Sunday & by the end of the day, I felt great. Well, now, today is Monday & I feel bleuh again! No barfing as of yet... but just queezey!!

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you all & I hope that you're all keeping strong & doing yo THANGS!!

Sandy

KZOsMommy

Hey My Amigas Fuerte!

I'm sorry you aren't feeling well Sandy.:flowerforyou:

I've been entertaining friends all weekend. Not eating right and I haven't worked out since Tuesday :noway: . I know I have done some damage.:grumble: Oh well I have to suck it up and complete my 6 hours this week. I haven't weighed and I'm not going to :laugh:

Amanda - Good for you changing up on the workouts and still having a nice number on the scale while aunt flow is around. :bigsmile: .

Nicole - Hope you are doing better than I am.

I'm trying to set up a wireless router right now. I will be back tomorrow.

nicolet04

hey buddies, gotta make it quick! went to an hour of weights and an hour of zumba today, 700 calories burned! i did HORRIBLE with everything since turkey day! time to fix it! have a super night buddies!!!

suzanne63

Hi

Oh.I found you all.This is great.First I would like to say I'm sorry I have not been around.I have been so busy with the holiday's,kids.Everything.I have not been motivated at all.I use to workout all my life and I just haven't for awhile.I'm just going to try this again.You all are so motivating.So Yea!It's time to workout and get motivated and try to stay motivated to workout.I did some stretches and toning today.I'm just starting off real slowly again.I put my christmas decorations up yesterday.

Morning Amigas! Sandy Thanks for the Great New Thread and sending me the link.

I'm going to take this opportunity to START FRESH... The new Month along with a new Thread seems like the perfect time. :bigsmile: I really like the way I look in my clothes and out of them :blushing: for the most part. :laugh: However, I want to see a little less 'fat jiggle' around my saddle bags, bra line and flanks(muffin top) and arms.
I'm on a new journey... Body Fat % Loss. I've lowered my weightloss to 1/2 lb. per week, which gives me 1400 calories with a deficit of only 250 :noway: . You guys know how much I love cardio. It's gonna take me some time for me to switch to more weights and less cardio, but I will get there. Today, instead of 60 minutes on the elliptical it will be 15 min to warm up, 15 stretching, 30 weights. I'm gonna try to not where my HRM :noway:


Suzanne - Hi Amiga! Glad you found us :bigsmile: Keep up that attitude and you will eventually end up back in full swing. You don't have much to lose... keep you eye on the prize.

Nicole - Hey girl - I am soooo with you. This Holiday just wacked up my whole routine. You did great with your workouts. :happy: You had "cushion" before the holidays, you couldn't have done too much damage.

Sandy - Thankfuly you got in a good workout before your hubby "tempted' you. Are you still feeling "blah"? Was it something you ate?

Amanda - Sounds like everyone in the house is Healthy :bigsmile: Take advantage :laugh:

Did anyone get some great Bargains this weekend? I think I got a deal yesterday on a 8 Gig, Sony MP3 for my son... $69. I will check the price today and see if I did.

Make it a Great day Amigas Fuerte! :bigsmile:

Hola Amigas!!

I'm feeling a little bit better today, I just have a bad headache, but as long as my oatmeal stays down, I'll be happy. Today is the first day since Friday night, that I've tracked anything. The only good thing that came outta this stomach virus is that it did get rid of all the junk that I ate Thursday & Friday. My weight is holding pretty steady, however, I've not been drinking much water, sooooo.. well, you know what that means!
As far as exercise, I may take another day off today & save a good workout for step aerobics tomorrow. I need to sit & pay some bills & clean out my kitchen sink anyway!!

Spicy, I love your new attitude & goals! They sound great & I know that you'll succeed! I was just reading that Jillian said to lower your sodium to 1500 & increase your water intake to help you "lose" a belly bulge. Belly fat is all about diet & cardio, so that's where I'm going to focus. She also said that the best inner thigh exercise is the old time Jane Fonda style leg lifts. They work the best without bulking up. Interesting....

Nicole, I hope that you've got your groove back. I agree that the holiday week threw me way off too. I was headed down a very bad road right before the stomach virus. However, I don't recommend it as a way to get back. How's the zumba coming? Any new outfits for you?? I really want to go back to a class. I haven't since the first initial free class, but I really want to get back! Maybe next week, as I don't think I could handle it this week & besides the hubby has to work late & there's no sitter at the evening classes...

All you other ladies, keep it up, keep your focus & keep going!!

Well, I better get moving! Bills aint going to pay themselves!

Sandy

Good Morning Buddies!!!!!!

This holiday really tested my determination. Thanksgiving was at my place, so you there was tons of left over food, especially cake(s). And I ate lots of cake. But I made myself workout, or at least walk an hour a day. I also bought the "cardio max" dvd; so my little girl ( she loves exercise with mommy) and I did that fri, sat, and sun. Amazingly I did not gain anything, whew.... But now I am on a mission to lose at least 8 lbs by the end of this month. I am thinking about buying the "30 day shred" too. I will let you all know if I do or not.

Sanifrey-thanks for the link. And I luv the new profile pic. you look gorg.

Spicy-work it out girl!!!Doesn't if feel good to have the holiday behind you, so you can look forward? I am with you on the starting fresh. Just thinking about it gets me motivated.

Nicole-you are the Zumba Queen!!! Keep it up girl, you are well on your way!!!

Have a great day ladies!!!!!

hi
Thank you.You all are so nice.It is one of the last warmer days so I took a walk a little outside a few more times and a little toning and stretching.I am still starting off real slow.In a few days I will start off slowly with Jane fonda's stress reduction program and a little toning.Then work my way up to fat burning for dummies and Jane Fondas favorite fat burners.I am older and have to start off slowly.I just need to stick with this now and try and get motivated.I will.Have a happy day.

Great thread there, Amiga!! I'd have to agree with it all!! Seems like I can't get any lower then 142 without bouncing right back up to 145 a few days later. .. I like the idea of fitness goals. Even thinking of participating in an upcoming 5K in March!

nicolet04

hey buddies!! today i went to an hour of yoga and then i decided to switch it up a little and went to kickboxing...600 calories burned!
that was a great link spicy! i actually must started reading a book called "the gabriel method" that kinda fits along with that. its about the mental part of weight loss and figuring out why we r "fat." so far its good, but i just started reading it last night.

suzanne- great job on getting some exercise in!!! starting slow is always good, so u dont injure urself! anything is better than nothing at all!

spicy- great idea about starting fresh! i think we all need that! i think ur plan sounds fantastic, u know they say that weights is the thing that will totally transform ur body! i did not shop at all, i wanted to, but money would be nice first:laugh:

sandy- im glad that u r feeling better!:flowerforyou: i think another day off would probably be good for you! zumba is great, im making a new shirt this week!!:bigsmile: a 5k would be awesome!!! i was thinking about doing a triathalon, but i just cant give up the zumba yet:laugh: have "fun" paying ur bills:laugh:

passion- great job this weekend! i was too scared to weigh myself, ill have to see how i feel friday:laugh: my daughter loves to workout with me also, its so good to know that we r teaching our kids that exercise is a positive thing!

have a super night!! biggest loser tonight!!!

Hola Amigas!!

Today is a great day! I was able to get back into exercise & went to step aerobics. I felt a little queezy during the warm up, but was able to hang in there & burn 350 for the workout. It feels good to be active again! Hopefully I can stay on top of my food diary today & do well there. I'm also trying to get back into drinking my water. It just tastes so bad lately... I'm sure it's all in my head, having to do with the stomach virus and all.

Anyway, I'm glad that you're all doing well & keeping active!

Nicole, great burn with the yoga & kickboxing! I bet that was a fun change up for you! Did you enjoy BL?? Did you vote?? I think we have an hour left to do so today! I loved seeing Tara from last season! It looks like she put a little bit of weight back on from last year's finale, but she still looks good & looks like she's keeping active. That's the most important thing! I hope that they start a new season rather quickly, I love the motivation!!!

Spicy, my dear, where are you today?? Must be hard at work!! What's on your workout agenda for today?? Is your weather still nice for rollerblading?? It's definately too cold in Pittsburgh now for anything like that!! I saw this woman jogging today - in shorts!! Her poor legs were all red from the wind & cold. Really?? I mean really?? Check the forecast lady!! She looked totally ridiculous!!

Amanda, how are things going with you? What's your workout schedule looking like lately?? Did you see that the BL has some new workout dvds?? One is called The Last Chance Workout - I gotta have it!!!

Passion, how are things?? I hope that you're keeping that great motivation & attitude up!! How are the workouts coming along?

Suzanne, keep going!! You mentioned that you're starting out slowly. Are you dealing with an injury? I see that you want to lose 17lbs, that's a great goal & totally achievable!! Just find your focus & set yourself up for success!

Amy, how are things?? I know school is busy! Are you still making time for you & your health?? I've been thinking about you lately,, as I'm considering starting the couch to 5 k program (C25K). You found that on itunes as a podcast, right?? I really need to see how that works.

Well, buddies & amigas - keep going & make it a great day!

Sandy

suzanne63

I have had an old back injury and a little arthritis,so I have to be careful.I have not done anything real hard for awhile.I did my first exercise video in awhile.Gay Gaspers fat burning for dummies.I will be on this one for awhile.It felt real good to get a good workout in.It's getting too cold to walk outside now.Have a great day everyone.

nicolet04

hey buddies! today i went to an hour of zumba and an hour of weights, 700 calories burned, which i great considering that i took it really easy. yesterday during kick, my foot started to hurt really bad, but i pushed through it, well its not getting better and i cant even walk flat on it, i have to walk on the ouside of my foot or its very painful from my arch to my ankle bone:grumble: im hoping it will feel better soon! i probably looked like a total idiot in zumba today, hopping around on 1 foot:laugh: the new people probably had a good laugh, thinking...if that girls looks like that doing this, then i look amazing! LOL:laugh: i have been doing great with my calories, ive actually been under by quite alot the past couple days and im still not eating past 8!!

sandy- im glad that u r feeling better and were able to get to ur step class today! i really liked the biggest loser, i hope one of the guys wins and i want liz to be in the finale...amanda already got a "free" pass on the show, and it would be nice to see an older person in the finale for once. i did notice tara had gained a little weight, but not bad though! im sad because next season i will be in school and will have to watch all the episodes online, if i ever have time:laugh:

suzanne- take care of urself!:flowerforyou: sounds like u have everything under control! keep it up!!

hope everybody has a fantastic day!!!

Morning Amigas!

Sorry I was missing yesterday...

After i left for work yesterday one of my sons friends let Ruby out the front gate by mistake. She caught up with a cat and my son had to deal with that by himself. My phone was too low and I didn't get his calls till i arrived at work. He was really shaken up and I had to turn around and go home. Everything is fine now.

Yesterday, I went for a walk and it was so beautiful outside... 70 degrees, sunny and windy. I don't know what got into me, but I started jogging. About 2 minutes into it, I remembered quickly why I'm not a runner... my knee began to hurt. I stopped right away and resumed walking. Later that day, I could barely walk down my stairs, my knee hurt everytime i stepped down. I didn't go to Zumba because of it and I thought i wouldn't be able to workout today. I took a tylenol and this morning I walked down the stairs just fine and I will be at the gym today.

Nicole - So sorry about your foot... I hope it feels all better today. I don't know how you made it through Zumba. Please don't push yourself too hard buddy :flowerforyou: You've been really turning it up a notch lately, don't ruin your hard work with an injury. You got to let us know what you learned from that book when you're done. :flowerforyou: Good idea on not weighing till you "feel it" I remember when you were into weighing almost everyday...

Sandy - SO happy for you being active again... I think there was a virus going around cause my coworker mentioned those same symptoms and they ended up in the emergency room. 10 more people were there with the same symptoms :noway: . Glad it's over :flowerforyou: It's been too windy to rollerblade, but still Beautiful here :bigsmile: I hope you aren't thinking of bringing any CL in the house cause of the bad tasting water. I find that drinking it at room temperature I'm able to guzzle it and hardly taste it. maybe try putting a squeeze of lemon in it.

Suzanne - You are moving along nicely. :bigsmile: Keep it up!

On Tuesday I started my new focus on the weights... I feel the good pain today :bigsmile:
I did 20 minutes on the elliptical,
10 minutes Stretching exercises
3 sets of chest press,
3 sets of dead lifts,
3 sets of squats with a 25lb bar,
3 sets of a back exersice and
3 sets of bicep curls with 10 lbs weights.

It took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I didn't have my HRM on for the first time since i bought it. I felt kinda incomplete :laugh: I'm glad I didn't cause I know seeing the low numbers while i'm working out will mess with me. I know I burned about 200 on the elliptical and I added 150 for the weights.
Now that I have 1400 calories as my base, I have not gone over my calories :bigsmile: granted i still have exercise calories, but i feel less 'stressed' about it

Make it a great day Amigas :flowerforyou:

KZOsMommy

Buenos días Amigas!

Nicole- I hope that your foot is feeling better today!

Sandy- Sorry to see (on FB) that MJ is sick! I hope that she gets to feeling better really soon!!! Glad that you are doing better and are able to get back to working out

Amy- I hope you are doing well!

Suzanne- Keep up the great work! Glad you found a work out that you are able to do and that feels great

Spicy- Wow 70 degrees must be nice! It is only in the 30s here and snow flurries today! I am glad to hear that your knee is okay today. I love running and really miss it but it is so cold and I no longer have a treadmill. Great job on your work out at the gym!!! Keep it up girl!

Well I have been so busy lately with life. I have been working out and yesterday started my second round of Chalean Extreme. This time my friend is starting it with me (I gave her my other set of dvds since I got the new ones). So yesterday we spent the day over there and the kids played and we worked out! I did my 35 minutes of Turbo Jam fat burner in the morning and then I lifted with her.

I am feeling very bloated and crappy today! Aunt Flo will be here anytime now. This morning is another busy day, I have to take Olivia to preschool, Kayla to the dr (think she might have strep, not surprised since this weekend i watched my friends kids for two days and one ended up sick), stop at the natural food store for some groceries and then home for the afternoon. I need to do school with Zach and hopefully Kayla will feel up to it today. Today is my rest day but I think I might need to work out in some way since I feel so crappy.

Have a great Thursday!!!
Amanda

HOLA!!!

Well, MJ & I didn't get much rest last night. .. The poor baby caught my stomach virus. She finally just fell asleep here on the couch. I hope that she can rest for a bit. I know that I'll be sorry that I'm not napping at this moment, later.... Did I say that right?? Hopefully you guys get it!!
So, I have a sore throat now!! Does it ever end around here?!! I was so happy to be back at step class yesterday & now it looks like I won't be able to get back until next week. Oh well, one day at a time. It's more important to get well & take care of myself then to push it.

Spicy, you really got me thinking. I've been struggling with trying to get down to 140 for the the last few months - well, since August. I was down to 142 then up & down, up & down again. I've decided to keep myself healthy & reset my goal for 145. I feel good here, I can splurge a bit more & I really feel like I'm "living" here at 145. Maybe I'll get to 140- someday, but my main concern is firming right now.
The nice thing is that my daily calorie goal jumped from 1200 up to over 1800. NICE!! 1200 is just too low!! I'm still going to be killing it with my exercise & if I do lose & I do get down to 140 - great! But, if not, I'll be just fine!
I feel good about it!!
Anyway, enough about me! Sorry about Ruby running off!! At least she was safe & you were able to get her back home again. Sounds like you had a great workout! Take care of that knee!

Nicole, be careful girl!! I hope that your foot is okay!! Try wearing some shoes around the house, something with a slight heal & see if the elevation helps at all. I found with my tendonitis that I have to wear my sandals here at home. Walking around on bare feet is just really uncomfortable! Be careful with the bouncing around too. That can really set you way back. It's hard to hold back, trust me, I know! Good for you on keeping up with your 8PM challange! I'm back in on that one!!

Amanda, thank you for MJ's get well wishes! She's finally sleeping now, so I'm hopeful that she's over the worst part of it by now. Sorry to hear that you're little ones are still struggling with the colds. This time of year is so tough! Good for you on finding a great workout buddy! Sounds like fun! I think that AF is coming to visit me any day now too... oh joy - NOT!!

Suzanne, good for you on doing what you can & getting yourself healthy & exercising by doing what you can. I hope that you're doing well today!

Passion, how are things with you??

Amy - hi!!

All righty girls - I mean Amigas - make it a great day!!

Sandy

sanifrey

Forgot to add -

Spicy, No CL for me!! I'm still drinking my water - not as much as I should be, mind you, but I'm trying!! ;o)

Nicole, re: BL & Liz I want Amanda to make it!! I guess I identify with her more...

Good Afternoon Buddies!!!!

I am feeling great today! I am wearing a shirt and belt that was extremely too tight last year when I wore them, and they both fit really well today. And I know I am doing a great job at meeting my goals, when I have women in their late 50s "hating" on me. LOL
Today when I entered the kitchen at work, I heard two ladies sitting talking about weight loss, no big deal, right? Well, when I first entered the kitchen they paused for a quick sec, then resumed talking. Then their tone changed and the began to say things like "yeah if you diet you are going to gain all that weight back", and "if you lose too much you are going to look funny". WTF???!!!! I acted as if I didn't hear them, finished putting lunch in the microwave and walked back to my office. Well when I returned to kitchen, one then giggles and says "I'm about go back to my office."

If you didn't know the character or behavior of these women, this conversation would seem innocent. But me knowing their behavior, I know they were trying to take a swipe at me. But unlucky for them, I know what I'm doing. And I won't let them deter me with all their negative energy. I have lost 12 lbs in just at 2 months(which is not fast); and I'm NOT dieting. Its called portion control, and making healthier choices. But I won't tell them any better. I will let them continue to sit around and stuff their faces with fried fish sandwiches, fried chicken, cornbread, loads of spaghetti, a can of soup with an entire pack of crackers, double cheese burger with a larger fry, etc.; have to take loads of medication, and be angry at themselves for unhealthy lifestyles.

It is very sad to me that women, especially women that are old enough to be my mother try to tear other women down, for doing something they don't have the guts, determination, will power, etc. to do. I so enjoy coming to this thread with all of its positive energy and the encouragement you ladies give.

But just to show them how happy I am that they are noticing my weight loss; I am going to wear my size 8 jeans with 4 inch carbon grey pumps tomorrow!!!


Spicy- girl come spring time, you are going to be uber sexy and toned!!! Beach here you come!!!!!

Sanifrey- I am a little jealous that you have a cushion(calories), I will be so glad when I can say that. But I am happy that you happy with where you are. But I will be there with you soon.

Nicole- I think being a fitness instructor is in your near future!! Great job!!

KZO- you are a busy mommy for sure, but good for you for MAKING the time for exercise. I'm sure things will mellow out for you soon.

Have a GREAT day ladies!!!!!!

So sorry our little MJ caught the virus... poor baby. Yes, i understood what you ment by not getting in your nap while you can :laugh: Are you taking Vitamin C?

WOW 1800! that is awesome for maintaining... I know you will not take advantage and keep up your exercise. We will be partners in this Toning goal. :flowerforyou: I checked out those exercises you sent me a little further and Dam girl, those look hard for a "softy" like me :laugh: I will work myself up to it eventually. :bigsmile: Great Job on the No CL... It takes 21 days to develop/lose a habit. You are half way there Amiga. :drinker: Yes thank god Ruby and Jordan (my son) are fine now. I'm so glad you are happy with where you are with your weight. I agree it will be nice to reach that "new" goal next week, but we will reach it eventually as long as there is a Deficit

Amanda - Sorry your babies are dealing with more colds... they must be pros by now :laugh: :flowerforyou: J/K I read your post about the non-supportive family members.... I think that was the real problem your hubby had a few months back. You go girl, on not letting anyone take away your joy

Thank you Nicolet04 for asking me to join! I would love to! What does this group do-weekly weigh ins? Daily check ins? Let me know! I am trying to stay positive even though I've really messed up my food/exersice choices in the last 2 weeks and I'm trying to get back on track and would love to join you girls!
