Happy Friday Amigas!
Yay Meagan! :drinker: Keep It UP! :flowerforyou:
You ROCK Nicole! Way to GO on taking COntrol BACK from those M&Ms :bigsmile: I wish I could say the same about these Keebler Cookies :laugh: "Buy One, Get One Free" really cost me in other ways :ohwell: I will do BETTER next TIME :bigsmile: Fantastic Burn with the running, Momma... that must feel wonderful. :bigsmile:
Amanda - Good for you on deciding to Cut out more Junk. :drinker: You are doing a great thing for your kids future relationship with food/junk. :happy: You are the BOMB when it comes to those long term Workout Programs... Income Taxes are coming soon, that is a perfect reason to treat yourself to PX90
Sandy - SOunds like you are in your "Zone" and focused on "beating the scale" . :flowerforyou: I need some advice on some face moisterizer with SPF... I usually use "Oil of Olay" with spf 15 for sensitive skin, but they must of changed the formula because once the packaging changed, it started to irritate my face. Is there something Hypo-alergenic with spf for my face in AVon? I can't afford Clinique anymore :ohwell: Did you get your new workout Dvd yet?
I Filed my Taxes yesterday and Now waiting for Mulla :bigsmile: I think I might treat myself to the Wii Fit Plus for my "Income Tax" Treat
Back to work on this Dang Project. Gonna get it done TODAY!
Make it a Phenomenal Day Amigas! I will :bigsmile:0 -
Hola Amigas!
I had a great step & tone class today & we actually stepped & toned - no circuit training!!! Woot Woot!! :drinker: I burned about 430. So, I think I'm going to have to finally adjust my ticker up - YIKES!! - I'm now up to 147 & can't seem to get it down & with the weekend coming & this snow storm, I'm not very optimistic. I'm going to keep fighting - I'm not giving up - I just feel that I need to fess up & adjust my ticker....
Yesterday was my rest day & while I did go over I didn't totally blow it! It was about 9 PM & I really wanted some cereal, but I stayed strong & didn't cave in! It felt good to keep myself under control!
Spicy, I forwarded a skin regimine email to you, it should give you some good recommendations based on your skin care needs (Amanda & Nicole will get one too) (If you other girls are interested just send me your email address & I'll add you to my list )
All of AVON's day time creams have a SPF of 25. This campaign has great deals on a whole regimine kit for under $20 w/ purchase. I also was just reading that if you allow a little time to pass between your face washing & your moisturizing that it tends to help reduce possible redness & irritation. You could also try using a smaller amount & working up your amount once your skin has gotten used to the new product.
My dvd has not gotten here yet... :grumble: It would've been great for a snowed in Saturday morning... oh well! I'll just have to choose something off my shelf!
Good luck on getting that " dang project" done!! Sounds like it's keeping you very busy!
Nicole, great job on fighting those M&M's!! Thank you for you 8PM challenge - it really helped me keep strong against the cereal last night!
Megan, great job on your tests!! And, I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better from cutting your workouts back. It's important to make sure that we let our muscles heal themselves by giving them a day or 2 off during the week & it's good that you listened to your body!! The last thing you want or need is an injury!
Amanda, I hope that all is well with you guys! I'm so jealous about the P90X - but Spicy does make a good point - maybe income tax time & I'll get one.... hmmmm.... I could use something new to kick my butt & get my ticker back down! Have you started packing yet??
Have a great weekend Amigas!

No workouts today, I slept in prtty late and had a lot to do when I got up. Oh well I will make up for it tomorrow.
Nicole Great job on not eating past eight. I tried that a few times and I am terrible at it. I seem to be the most hungry after eight.
Sanifrey Don't feel bad about your weight, you work hard and from the pics you have up you look GREAT!!!
Spicy let me know how you like that WII Fit. I have been thinking about trying it.0 -
Morning Amigas!
Went for a long walk with Ruby last night after eating the last of the Keebler Evil :laugh: burned 600+ calories in 90 minutes. Came home and ate Nilla Wafers for Dinner :grumble: :explode:
:mad: :devil: :blushing: :huh: :noway: :ohwell: I was still under my calories :happy:
Woke up and went to Step class and burned another 500 :drinker: Now to hold on to as many as I can today :ohwell:
Macobb - I will let you know as soon as I try the Wii Plus
Sandy - I heard on the news there is alot of snow your way. Luckily you do great with your Dvds. I'm gonna give that mosturizer a try... I hope the SPF 25 isn't too much.
Hope you girls have a Great Weekend :flowerforyou:0 -
:drinker: Hola Amigas!!
Yes we have LOTS of snow!! It's up to my hips!! So much fun! I'm just glad it hit us on the weekend & that we didn't have to be anywhere! I'll post some pics as soon as I can! MJ had a great time in the winter wonderland!
Spicy, you poor girl!! Those keebler evils got you, but good girl, for making up for it in your workouts!! I love Nilla wafers!! I can't bring those into the house either! I plan to do some treadmill & dvd work tonight after the girls get to bed, after dinner I'll need to burn at least 300 to cover myself. I'm so excited that you're trying the new moisturizer! Are you ordering from my site? The site is real friendly to use, I hope you like it! Definately let me know! The SPF shouldn't be too much, make sure to let a few mintues pass after you wash your face & apply just a little at a time until your skin gets used to the new cream! They really are so creamy & rich!
Thanks Megan, I'm really trying not to let the scale beat me! What did you end up doing today?? I have the Wii Fit & I rarely get a chance to use it with my little ones running around! When I work out, I usually have the tv on for them, so it doesn't usually work out that I can get to it. It is a nice game & I do mean game, because I feel that when I do get a chance to use it, I get a better workout using my dvd's. But it's nice for an extra/different kind of burn. It at least gets you off the couch. I don't have the new Wii Fit, which I've heard is alot better & more user friendly.
Amanda & Nicole - :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: Kick butt girls, kick butt!! Sandy 0 -
Today I did all 3 levels of 30 Day Shred and 30 mins on the treadmill 500+ cals burned.
Sanifrey thanks for telling me how you like the WII.
Spicy I can't wait to here how the WII works for you.
Have a great night girls.0 -
Hola Amigas!
I had some great workouts the last two days! Yesterday I burned 400 with Tae Bo & today instead of a rest day, I opted for some Pilates w/ Denise Austin & burned 250. The Pilates really helped with some lower back pain that I was having! :happy:
I weighed this morning & the scale is going down, down, down!! I'm so glad! It was up & hadn't moved in almost 3 weeks & then last Monday it was real bad after having some Chinese over the weekend. I'll wait until tomorrow morning for my official weigh in & celebration! :drinker:
Great job on those workouts Megan!! All three levels of THE SHRED!!! That's intense!!
See you all in the morning! Enjoy the game! Sandy 0 -
Hola!!

Make it a great day buddies! Sandy 0 -
No workout today, I did my final three tests for the GED and past them all.

It is way quiet around here. Where is everybody?

Amanda - Looks like you are beating the scale down too How are the babies feeling? Have you bought anything for the new house? How is the closing date looking?
Sandy - Yes, I'm ordering through your site. :happy: It's so cool to have a "Rep" at the tip of my fingers :laugh: I will follow your advice :happy: I'm so proud of you Amiga :bigsmile: You kept your cool and got focused until you Beat the Scale :drinker: One thing I haven't heard from you lately is how many inches you've lost That was a Great burn on the treadmill. Oh I would love so Slide Down a hill :happy: :bigsmile: That was the best part of winter 
I can't wait to see the pics of the girls enjoying the Winter Wonderland
Macobb - Congrats on Passing your GED :flowerforyou: We knew you could do it :bigsmile: All three of the Shred must be a gret workout... I've only made it through level one. I'm not good with home workouts

Make it a Great Day Amigas!0 -
Good Morning Amigas!!!
I did great this weekend until super bowl sunday lol. We got pizza (I got one that had all veggies and extra light cheese and even then I picked most of the cheese off and left behind the edge crust) and I had some baked chips and cheese salsa. I did workout knowing that I was going to eat and burned almost 650 calories that day. So sad that the Colts did not win and at the same time I am happy for the Saints and the people of N.O. they really deserve it and they need it! Yesterday we went grocery shopping as we are under a winter storm warning last night into today. We have nasty snow, nothing like Sandy, but for our little city these 5inces is about half of what we get all winter lol.
I am not feeling well the last couple of days. My stomach hurts and I have to force myself to eat. Yesterday I watched Oprah and yeah that was a stressful show for me to watch and I ended up eating some lays salt and vinegar chips but stopped at a serving and decided to eat two cuties and an apple. I figure if I was going to stress eat I should do it healthy.
So today we are staying in and doing school and snuggling on the couch and playing since it is nasty out. Not sure we will make it to skating tonight Kayla will be so sad.
Sandy- Great job beating that scale girl! Thank you for checking on me on facebook :flowerforyou:
Spicy- Good job breaking even this weekend! Glad to hear that TOM is finally here and now you can get to feeling more normal The babies are doing well. Still at the tail end of their colds but no big deal. I have not bought anything new yet. We are looking at new dining tables and I think I found one but still waiting for the home inspection which will be done on monday. I dont want to jinx anything lol. Looks like closing will be no later then the 15th of March!! We are so EXCITED
Macobb- Congratulations on your passing your GED!!! That is awesome that you did all three levels of the Shred! I LOVE Jillian :happy:
Well Ladies Make it a GREAT Tuesday! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hola Amigas!
Today is going to be my Firm Arms dvd - as we're still pretty much snowed in & I need to give my lower body a rest. I'm icing my knee & calves right now. Just experiencing some soreness from all the treadmill & pilates glute workouts I did over the weekend. I was just telling my husband that I need some new shoes for cardio, so I'll have to take care of that in the next couple of days. I just got my new BL Last Chance Workout dvd, but it'll have to wait until at least tomorrow. I know that I have to listen to my body!
Spicy, thanks for the compliments. I think a big part of it was me fessing up to the damage & actually changing my ticker. It felt terrible to have to adjust the ticker up, but it really did help me get back on track. I haven't measured myself in a long while, I'll have to look into that. When you order from my site make sure that you have a good coupon code. I know that KISSES is one that was offered for free shiopping on orders over $5. Hopefully it still applies! Great job on those workouts & for finally getting to your TOM! Work sure has been keeping you busy lately!
Amanda, I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I hadn't heard about Oprah's show, but it sounds like it was a stressful one. Hang in there with all your snow! After getting 22 inches of the weekend they're now calling for another 6-10 - CRAZY!! James ran to Walmart for us yesterday & said that the shelves were empty!! I guess everyone is stocking up!
Well, I gott run - my battery is low on this laptop! I'll check back later!!

Today I did NMTZ and a whole body workout on my treadmill. Busy day, my son went to preschool on the bus for the first time. I think I took it harder then everyone else.
Great job on all your workouts. Have a great day.0 -
hey buddies! sorry i have been mia, i have been so busy.....kids r sick, but made it to the gym cause hubby was home, did cycling(325 cal) and the running (225 cal) tomorrow i have a kettle bells class that i am super excited for!!! off to bed cause i am super tired:yawn:0

Hola Amigas!!
Today's workout was Tae Bo & some stretching - 412 cals burned. Yesterday, I did my Firm Upper Body workout & a little of my new BL Last Chance workout - 362 cals burned. My leg was feeling pretty good today, until now. I guess I overdid it with the Tae Bo. I definately think it has something to do with a tight hamstring. So, now it's elevated & I plan on icing & stretching some more in a bit.:grumble:
Megan, great job on that workout! I totally feel your pain with the preschool. I haven't fully commited yet, but MJ is scheduled to start next week. I just dont' know if I'm ready! She'll be starting our school system's K-4 this September. Sometimes I think that the preschool will do her good. It's only 2 days a week for a little less then 2 hours. I just worry that I'm rushing things with her - making her grow up too fast.... I just don't know:frown:
Nicole, great job! We've been missing you! I hope that the kids get to feeling better realy soon! Kettle bells sounds awesome! Enjoy!
Amanda, hopefully you're feeling better today!
Spicy, hopefully you're not working too hard!
Keep it up buddies!! Sandy 0 -
gotta be quick... did kettlebells (300 cal...in 30 min,) hardest workout i have done in a VERY LONG time!! then i sucked it up and went to 1/2 zumba (350 cal.) dont know if i will be able to walk tomorrow....lets hope:laugh:

Today I did BL Boot Camp and all 3 levels of 30 Day Shred. I am tired now.
Nicole Great work out kettlebells sounds hard. What exactly is it?
Sanifrey Be careful on those knees.
Have a great night girls.0 -
Sanifrey I meant be careful on those hamstrings. It sucks when you pull those.0

going to make this really fast as I am getting ready for Olivia's Vday party at school. I have had an over active thyroid since i was 9 months preg with my oldest, Kayla. Well for three years straight my thyroid was normal and my dr was still not taking me off my meds and telling me to use radio active idodine (sp?) on it to kill it. Well I decided almost two years ago to stop going and let my meds run out. He told me that diet and exercise would not help and that it was just a fact of life for me. So when I went to my GYN a couple of weeks ago I told her about how I stopped going to him and stop the meds. She agreed that with no symptoms and working hard to lose the weight that I am probably fine but she checked anyway.
I got the results yesterday and NORMAL!!!!! See drs don't know it all and yes I believe with all my heart that the weight loss has helped A LOT!!!
I will be back to read everything this afternoon.
Make it a GREAT day ladies!

NMTZ today. Alittle sore from BL Boot Camp yesterday.
Have a great night girls.0 -
Hola Amigas!!
Today was my rest day & while I'm a little over on my calories today, I'm counting on my shorts from the other days to even it all out. It's only 7 pm & I'm done eating for the day, just trying to get my water in. I have a little congestion & have such a hard time drinking plain water - bleuh!! I'm also going stir crazy! Last Friday was when this winter storm hit & I've not been out since step class that morning! So, I've been in the house almost a week now! I'd love to get out tomorrow, but it's not likely. :yawn:
Amanda, I am so happy for you that your test went well & that you were able to prove your doctor wrong by controlling things with diet & exercise! :drinker: AWESOME!! Just goes to show, that we're not supposed to be on medication. Our bodies are made in a way that if we feed it right & take care of it, it'll take care of us.
Megan, great job on the NMTZ!! That's one I've not tried yet! Do you love it??
Nicole, how are the kids feeling?? How's school going?? Are the M&M's still an issue??
Spicy, how are things going with you?? How are they treating you at work?? Have you been to the gym lately?
Have a great day!! Sandy 0 -
Sanifrey I love NMTZ. It's all strength training, I was really feeling the first time I did it.0
-
Hola Amigas!
I finally got out of the house today!! Woot woot!! I burned 325 calories at step aerobics & hope to burn at least another 175 here at home in just a bit to reach 500. There's still snow everywhere & most residential streets are down to one lane. It's pretty crazy! I heard that we're supposed to get more snow on Sunday .... great...
Megan, NMTZ sounds great! I'll have to add that one to my library!
Spicy & Nicole, I hope that you girls are doing well! I miss hearing from you!
Have a great day & weekend! Sandy 0 -
hey buddies! gotta be quick...went to yoga yesterday (130 ) and then zumba today (430) kids r still sick, but the hubby has been home to watch them!! i am starting to feel a little sick myself:grumble: lets hope it goes away!! hope u all have a great weekend!!0
-
Today I did BL Boot Camp.
Sanifrey If you get NMTZ you should get Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I get a great workout when I do them both.
Nicole Nice to here from you. Hope you all get better soon. We should hang out when you get some extra free time, I know you're busy.
Have a great night girls.0 -
Thanks Megan! I'll definately look into NMTZ!! Banish Fat & Boost Metabolism was a book too, right?? I didn't realize that it was a dvd as well. Is it mostly cardio?
I burned another 250 today by doing level 3 of the 30 day shred & then another 10 minutes of jump & jacks, high knees, butt kicks & front kicks. Good thing because the hubby mentioned getting ice-cream tonight & I just had to have some!0
