Hey ladies!
Sandy- Great job on your work out! It is nice to get that ice cream every now and then
I think I may treat myself to some tomorrow.
Spicy- I hope you are doing well girl!
Nicole- Hope you and the kids get to feeling better!
Megan- Great job keeping up with your work outs!!
Well I kicked some butt today! I burned over 1,000 calories today I did my chalean burn intervles like I was supposed to and my ab work out then when my work out buddy and I got together she had not worked out yet. She said she needed some motivation so I worked out (burn intervels) and with each of those burn dvds I burned 450-460 calories. I feels good to leave so many on the table.
Tomorrow Kayla has ice skating and then we are going to pick up Molly (our new dog). We decided to do it. I did some research about two females and with their breed they should be fine. They are both laid back dogs so we will see. The lady said any problems we can bring her back no problem. This week we get to find out a lot about our house! We get the home inspection on Monday, find out about the approve on our loan and we get the appraisle so big week for us!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Today I did BL Cardio Max and NMTZ.
Sanifrey I didn't know BFBM was a book. It is all cardio, she does some kickboxing in 2 of the circuits. It is a warm up seven circuits and a cool down. I love them both. I can't wait to try Jillians Yoga Meltdown, It comes out on 03/02/2010.
KZO How did you burn that many calories? I don't really know how much I burn, I just go by what MFP says. Great Job. How do your muscles feel?

Morning Buddies!
Belated Happy Valentine's Day! :flowerforyou:
I was sooo busy this weekend. You guys remember Beans? This past weekend was her Trinidad Carnival. The airports were cancelling flights left and right because of the weather. :noway: So she had to do all kinds of flight changes and re-routing. She finally got to Miami, Thursday night, thank goodness :bigsmile: Her next flight wasn't leaving till 6 pm Friday, so we made it a "girls day out". I called into work and we had a Great day together... By 3 pm all I had eaten was a banana. Needless to say I did great on my calories. :happy: I hadn't weighed in since Jan. 26th. Being that TOM is long gone I was brave enough to get on the scale.... 145!!!! :drinker: I've Reached MY GOAL :bigsmile: I really had to look at the scale really closely :noway: It actually read 144, but I didn't want to push it :laugh:
Thanks to my Amigas Fuerte I didn't lose FOCUS :happy: Seeing you girls Keeping at it, although some of you have reached your goals... it's contagious :bigsmile: I don't think I would have continued to workout weekly if I didn't come here and see that my Amigas have Changed their way of Life... and Exercise is now part of it!
It's been chilly here the past few days, so you ladies know I'm Divafied :laugh: I will probably start my workouts on Wednesday with Zumba.
Sandy - So sorry your dealing with PMS :flowerforyou: So Proud of you for making sure you minimized the damage :flowerforyou: I agree with Megan... You worked really hard last week and you probably broke even PMS and Ice Cream = the perfect combination... Your hubby is a Gem :happy: Looks like you've found a BL DvD partner in Megan You Go Girls! Did you buy your new workout shoes? I really need to buy some before I hurt myself... I've had my sneakers 2+ years :noway:
Nicole - WooHoo! You're all signed up and ready for your Marathon :drinker: You are a Great Example Momma! Glad to hear your babies are recovering and you will be back into your routine. Have you done anybody's hair or nails yet?
Amanda - You are such a Good friend :flowerforyou: Helping your friend Make-up for her missed workouts turned out to be a Super Win for you too... I'm sure you felt Wonderful leaving a bunch of calories on the table. Hope you get back Great news about YOUR house! and Congrats on the New doggy :flowerforyou:

Good morning Amigas!!
Well sadly Jeff and I had to let that house go. We got the home inspection and it was not good at all! The seller said they would help with what had to be fixed but there was so much that we just felt it better to back out. We found another house yesterday and put in an offer. Someone else did too and the seller excepted the other offer. So back to house hunting for us :sad: On a good note Molly is working out GREAT here! We love her and Bella is getting more comfortable with her around. We have not had any problems so far other then Bella just wanting extra attention just like a kid with a new baby lol. I have been keeping up with my workouts and doing ok on my calories although I have not logged in anything really since Saturday. I need to suck it up and weight myself but during this Lean month on Chalean I tend to gain muscle so would hate to see a big number on that scale lol.
Spicy- It is great to hear from you! I am glad that you had a lot of fun with Beans!!!! I am glad you were able to take the day and be with her CONGRATULATIONS on hitting your goal girl!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Keep it up!
Sandy-I agree with the others you work so hard that I am sure a day or so of PMSing will not hurt you!
Nicole- That is AWESOME that you are going to run! You will do great Amiga!!! :flowerforyou:
Megan- Biggest Loser are great workouts! That is how I lost most of my weight in the beginning. Keep up the great work girl!
Ok off to look for more houses to look at tonight
Make it a great day Ladies!

Hola Amigas!!
Just a quick check in - today was step aerobics, I burned 373 calories! My hubby is finally, yes finally, on board with us here at MFP. This is day 3 for him & I'm so very proud of him! He's helping to keep me inline through my pms cravings!
Spicy, I am so proud of you!! You did it!! :drinker: I just got some new shoes on Sunday - what a difference they make! I'm also happy that you got to spend some time with Beans!!
Amanda, sorry about the house hunting complications. You have got to believe that everything happens for a reason & you will find something! Stay strong!
Nicole, great job on your workouts! You're always doing so well!! I hope that your blisters are better! They can be so painful!
Megan, keep it up! You're doing great!!

Morning Amigas!
I've been a little sad past couple days... My "friend" and I are no longer seeing eachother.:sad: I discovered we just aren't on the same "page". :ohwell: Don't want to discuss it really... At least now, I will get back on track with my workouts
Nicole - I wish we had a Kettle ball class. Sounds intense and great for the upper body :happy: Exactly what I need to work on. Looks like you are still GOING STRONG Amiga :bigsmile:
Macobb - How was you baby's first field trip? I'm sorry you're having Family Issues... we all do unfortunately at one point or other.
Amanda - Amy luck on the house hunting side? So that means you guys are not relocating anywhere near Florida?
Sandy - So happy that your Hubby is back on the Wagon. Great to have someone at home to keep you accountable
I haven't worked out in 7 whole days :noway:

Good Morning!!!
We have found another house!!! We should find out today if they excepted our offer or not. Other then that life is just busy with the kids, husband and well just life lol. I burned 803 calories last night. I missed one of my lifting days on tuesday so I did my two work outs last night plus my lifting from tuesday. Before I know it I will be done with Chalean Extreme and not sure what I am going to do with myself until I am able to get P90X. Maybe I will go back to Biggest Loser videos.
Spicy- I am so sorry to hear about you and your "friend" Big Hugs to you! Glad that you will be able to get back on track for yourself now
Sandy- That is AWESOME that your husband is here on MFP now! I am working on my husband and I got him to work out with me once this weekend and then that was it. Plus he is not interested in watching what he eats unless it is going into is mouth. Really scares me! Can't wait to hear about his progress!
Macobb- I am sorry to hear that you are having family problems! Sometimes I think that is what family is for, creating stress!!!
Nicole- Kettle bells sound great! I bet you are going to have a ripped upper body in no time doing that work out!
Today I have to do Lean 3 and we will see how my food goes today as to if I am going to get some cardio in or not. Kids have swim lessons tonight and the most exciting is finding out about the house! If we work out an offer I will post a picture or two :happy:
Make it a GREAT Thursday!!! :drinker:0 -
Hola Amigas!!
No "workout" for me today - just 3 hours of housework & furniture moving. I didn't wear my HRM - MFP said over 400 calories so I bumped it down to 300 - I figure 100 cals per hour. Hopefully I won't need them! My hubby is doing so great! I'm really proud of him!! He said that he's not going to start working out yet, but he's quickly learning how fast you can use up calories in the course of a day. He'll start using the treadmill real soon, I'm sure!
Spicy, I am so sorry that things didn't work out with you & your friend. (((HUGS))) We're here for you amiga & we love you!! I bet a good, tough workout will get you feeling good again! How are you liking your new moisturizers?
Amanda, I'm so happy to hear that you guys found another house! I hope that everything works out!! Great workout too by the way! :drinker:
Megan, sorry to hear about your family issues. A good workout may help relieve some stress & get your mind off of things, if only for a little while!
Nicole, I hope that things are going well! How did you feel after the kettlebell class?
Make it a great day amigas!! Sandy 0 -

Happy Friday Amigas!:flowerforyou:
Sandy - I took your advice... Ruby and I went for a nice long walk and I felt much better :flowerforyou: Thanks friend, for reminding me that "working out" Gets the Brain pumping the "good stuff" Not to mention, I ate some Lasagna I made and wanted to make sure I was covered someone on the Recipe forum told me about adding cream cheese to the Ricotta and OHHH MAN it's good... definately not low cal, but I used Turkey meat and egg beaters to try to minimize the damage. You really got your Cleaning on momma :happy: I need to do some of that at my house I haven't opened the avon yet... I'm flaky like that :laugh: I will let you all know as soon as i try it. Your hubby will be borrowing your HRM soon... after he figures out "we work for food" :laugh:
Nicole - What was different in Yoga that you burned that many calories? I totally agree about weighing yourself "few and far between", I make sure I do it about 1 week after TOM is gone
Amanda - You are Blazing through those Programs... What is your GOal again? :happy: Got my fingers crossed that your offer is accepted.
Macobb - Great Burn momma. Yeah, I work for the Schoolboard and I know I'm not made for teaching :laugh: Glad you were able to get away from the Drama and enjoy your baby. :flowerforyou:
Hope Everyone has a Wonderful Day! :flowerforyou:0 -

megan- great job on keeping up with ur workouts during this stressful time!! u ROCK!!! dont stress too much, i know all will work out for ya!:flowerforyou:
spicy- sorry about u and ur friend:flowerforyou: everything happens for a reason and each person that we let go leads us to someone more amazing! i burned more in yoga cause everyday she changes it up and we were doing back bends and crazy stuff like that:laugh: that lasagna sounds delish!!

No workout today, got a couple new DVD's to help keep me motivated. I will for sure be back on next week.
Nicole you're gonna do great on your challenge. We should get together. Hey I found some $38 HRM at walmart. Do you think they would be good or is that too cheap?
Spicy I love home made lasagne. I think mine is the bomb. I should try that cream cheese thing.

Hola Amigas!!
I had a great step class today - 403 calories burned!! The whole class had a wonderful energy & everyone was so into it!! What a great way to end a week! The classes had been small because of the weather but we were all there today! It was great!
Tomorrow is a busy day so I may save my treadmill run for Sunday. I've got a 5k to get ready for next month!
Spicy, I'm glad that your walk with Ruby has you feeling better! Keep up the great work Amiga!!
Nicole, sounds like you've got some great workouts going on there! Keep it up! Stay strong for the candy challange!! You can do it!
Megan, what cha get? What cha get???
Have a great weekend Amigas!! Sandy
One, more thing - in case you didn't already know - Danish butter cookies are the devil!! :devil:0 -
Sanifrey I got BL weight loss yoga and I used your advice and got Billy Blanks 10th Anniversary Edition Tae Bo. Can't wait to try it. I watched some of it to see what it was like and I like it, the music is kinda corny though LOL.
Nicole I looked up Kettle Bells. It looks like a good work out. How much do the kettle bells weigh?0 -
Tday I did Billy Blanks Tae BO and BL weight loss yoga.
I entered 50mins of yoga and it said 90 cals. Is that right?0 -

I know I know!! Billy seems really corny at first! I felt so silly the first couple of times - BUT - you have got to respect the burn you get!! Keep at it!! You'll really see & feel a difference!!!0 -

I think that's probably pretty close - yoga seems to be more about toning, & stretching - not alot of cardio there. I find Pilates to be the same way - unless it's a mixture of cardio moves. I guess it just depends on the routine. I think that Nicole just mentioned the other day, that she got a good burn doing some yoga - maybe she'll have some insight on the subject.0 -
Hola Amigas!
Great step class today! It was hard to get motivated & moving, but I'm so glad that I did!! 391 calories burned! I ate so bad over the weekend & my TOM is starting anyday now - so needless to say - I'm a complete mess! My weight is up, I'm bloated, I feel like I'm getting sick - you name it - I got it!! But enough about me!!! How are my Buddies???
Let's kick some butt with some challenges this week!! How about no late night snacking!! How about nothing after 8 PM (Nicole - I know you eat a late dinner now, so how about just no snacks afterwards)
Anyone else want to challenge our group??
Make it a great day!! Sandy 0 -
Hey Ladies!!!
Well my weekend was HORRIBLE to say the least. The weather was wonderful! On Saturday we had a busy day and that night I went out with a friend and had dinner, shopped and went for coffee. I worked out but sure I went over on my calories. Sunday woke up not feeling the greatest (getting a cold from the change in weather). Could not stop eating all day (just days a way from starting my period). My work out yesterday was running after Molly the two times she ran out of our gated yard. She wanted out so bad that one time she got her body (and she is not a small skinny dog) under the gate of the fence and lifted the gate off the hinges. This was the third or fourth time this week she has run off. She does not come back when called. So for her safety since she kept going back and forth across the road we took her back to the rescue :sad: she is a great dog and I was so scared for her life. So we are back to having just Bella and we are happy with that for now. I think she spoiled us with how well behaved she is and we learned that this time. Today I am still not feeling the greatest and am still just wanting to eat all day. So I am eating fruit and veggies everytime I feel like eating. I also ordered my P90X this morning :happy: it should be here by the end of the week and I am going to start it on the first. Today is a lifting day for me and I am going to do a cardio workout too to see if that helps my eating.
Megan- with the BL yoga weight loss if I do the whole thing I only burn around 150 calories at 140lbs and that is with my heart rate monitor so more chance of being right then what this site tells ya.
Sandy- How do you like Jillian's last chance work out?
I hope you all had a great day!
