MOrning Buddies!

Went rollerblading yesterday... 500 calories logged :bigsmile: However, I still went over on my calories and didn't maintain the deficit. :grumble: These dam cookies are going to be the death of me :laugh:

Nicole - You are really close to your "Goal size" Buddy keep up the Awesome work :bigsmile: I'm curious now as to why you are baking so much... sounds like you got a bake sale or something :laugh: Hope you guys get some sunshine with those 20's... brrrrr :noway:

Sandy - Glad your energy is returning... just in time to take care of little Gabby. It's harder for me to get my water in while at home, but at work I'm constently drinking :ohwell: Just remember how youthful your skin looks when you are hydrated I've been really slacking since Thanksgiving it seems :noway:

Amanda - Hi Girlfriend. Hope you and the family are well and no more MIL drama You are so dedicated to your workouts I know you are doing just fine with your calories :happy:

I need 2 more workouts this week to fulfill my 3 workout minimum I might just go rollerblading again today and then do Zumba tonight and that will have me covered. :happy: Let's see how that goes :indifferent:

Today is my last day at work till January 4th :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I will try really hard to check in daily because that seems to be the only way I stop myself from going ridiculously over in calories :ohwell: . I wish I get to a point where I don't have to log everything everyday... i guess consistent exercise would allow me to do that. :ohwell:

Passion, Dawn, Amy, Suzanne - :flowerforyou:

Well, Amigas I hope you are Loving Youselves... cause we are HOT MOMMAS!

Hola Amigas!!

Yesterday, Billy & I burned 300 calories while doing Tae Bo! It was fun, but tough! I was glad when it was finally over! LOL! Today the girls are sick, so there'll be no step class for me, so it'll be another dvd for sure!

Spicy, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your roller blading! 500 calories is so awesome! You keep doing what you're doing Momma, you're doing great & it'll all workout! These holidays will be over soon & we'll all be able to focus a bit better! Enjoy your last day of work & I think that checking in daily & often is a great idea to keep yourself on track & accountable! I agree with what you said about the water - my skin is always so much clearer!

Nicole, 4/6 is a great size & you'll be there soon!! What a great burn you got with zumba! I hope that the kids are feeling a bit better! How's the baking coming?? Are you just about done?

Make it a great day Amigas!!

Sandy

hey buddies! didnt get a workout in today cause i had a bunch of last minute xmas stuff to do. wont be working out tonight, cause my sister in law (also named nicole:grumble: ) is in labor, so we will be heading to the hospital to see her. im all done with my baking....thank god!!! i did really great with not eating much of the treats!! i only ate 4 truffles, 3 cookies, and 1 caramel apple in the last 3 days...not good, but not bad! i am so glad for this goody season to be almost over.:laugh:

spicy- great workout yesterday!! the reason i am baking so much, is because i cant afford to buy everyone presents, so i make treat plates for all our friends. much cheaper....and yummier!! enjoy ur last day of work!!:bigsmile:

hope everybody has a great night!!!!

OMG Girls!

I just returned from the gym and I was there for 3 hours :noway:

I was home convincing myself why I shouldn't go to the gym and then just ignored the excuses and left immediately instead of waiting till 6:30 for Zumba. So I figured I would do 1 hour on the eliptical and go home. Once i finished It was only 15 minutes for Zumba and I wanted to give my contribution to the gift for the instructor. Once I saw everyone pysched up about the party I couldn't leave... tonights class was 90 minutes and it was Wonderful... the collecttion totalled over $200 :bigsmile: Once i download the pictures from my phone you guys are going to Freak out when you see what this lady wore....

I gotta take a shower and eat cause I burned over 1600 calories tonight :bigsmile: I'm set for Christmas dinner :bigsmile:

Have a great night Amigas !

Hola Amigas!!!!!

Well Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope your Holidays were wonderful! I have not done bad but not great either. Just not the healthiest choices not really going over board. I have worked out 1 1/2 hours a day all week in hopes of equaling it all out lol. I am waiting on my new Polar FT40 that I got online!!! I can't wait to see what I am really burning!

Passion- We all have times like that. That is great that you are ready to get back up!!!!

Sandy- Did the girls enjoy Christmas? I hope that your rest time was great for your body BTW it was not my family that had H1N1 already I know Nicole's family did. I think you can only get it once a year like the regular flu.

Spicy- Wow 1600 calories burned WTG Girl!!!! What did you do about the presents for your son?

Nicole- Did the kiddos have a good Christmas? You are one strong woman making all those desserts and not eating much of them! Keep it up girl!

My mom is in town until wednesday and then her and my dad are coming back on like the 8th for My birthday and my youngests birthday. Other then that same ol same ol. Oh and Jeff is feeling MUCH better!!!

Hola Amigas!

I've been seen bleuh lately!! The kids were sick, the hubby & finally - me!! I've not worked out since last Tuesday, I think!! CRAZY!! I'm saving myself for step in the morning - hopefully I'll be able to pull it together & go. I'm finally feeling a bit better so hopefully everyone will cooperate! I'm starting to miss it, so I must be feeling better!

I'm so glad to see that everyone is still keeping busy & keeping going - this time of year is just so tough, but I'm thinking that once New Years is over we'll all be back - with a vengance!! (sp)

Anway, keep going girls!! I plan to have some good numbers to report to you all tomorrow!!

Hi
Ok.I'm back and praying I stay motivated.It's time to get and stay in great shape this year.I missed you all.Happy Happy New Year.

sanifrey

HOLA!!

I'm starting to feel more like myself today & may just make myself do some exercise! I'm starting to feel gooey! I figured it out that I've been struggling with my energy & healthy lifestyle ever since I got the stomach virus about a month ago. It's now my TOM, but I actually feel better then I've felt in weeks!

Nicole, what an awesome job you've been doing! How awesome that you burned 900 calories at zumba! That's just amazing! I'm sorry that I've not been around so much & that it's so very quiet around here, but know that you're in my thoughts - always - & that I truely do appreciate your dedication & inspiration! You ROCK! Congrats to you on the school thing! I know that you're going to love it! When is your 1st day?

Spicy, girl, I'm so very happy for you! Sounds like you're having a wonderful time with a great guy! Enjoy the rest of your time off of work! I know that you'll be back into your routine & groove next week! Any ideas for some new challenges?? Seems like we could really use the motivation! I've been slacking in all areas so I'm up for ANYTHING!!

Suzanne, welcome back!! You can do it!! Set yourself a mini goal & make it happen! Maybe try for your first 5lbs or add an additional day of exercise to your week or even add on an extra 15 mins to the workouts you already do. I find that small, mini goals achieved make me feel successful & keep me motivated.

So, the Biggest Loser will be starting up again next week - just in time for me to get it in gear!! The motivation is priceless!!

Make it a great day & weekend!!

Sandy

Happy 2010 Amigas!!!

Well life has been busy here. A couple of days ago my son woke up in the middle of the night throwing up and then having uncontrollable diarreha (sp?). Then last night it was my oldest daughter the poor baby has it BAD. Just waiting for my little one to get it. I think today MIGHT be my turn My stomach is just feeling blah. Hoping I don't throw up. Other then that we have just been hanging out here at home and starting to take down our Christmas decorations. My husband and I have decided to move out of our house and back into the city (we live out in the country). So I think we will be moving around June. So starting to look for a place and things in order. Today is my first day of push circuit on Chalean! I can't wait it was really time for a switch for me. Still waiting for my heart rate monitor to show up I am really interested in seeing what I really burn doing Chalean.

Nicole- You are AWESOME girl!!! I have my fingers crossed for you for survivor there is no way I would survive on that show! Good luck with your first day of school I am sure you will great

Sandy- Glad to hear that you are starting to feel better! My family has that stomach bug I am so excited about the Biggest Loser next week!!! It will be amazing to watch them all and I am looking forward to those twin brothers that together they way almost 1,000lbs. I am so in for a challenge too I need something to kick my butt!!!

Spicy- I am so HAPPY for you girl!!! Enjoy your time with your Man and your time off work I am sure you will be right back to working out and logging your food

Suzanne- Welcome back!!! I agree with Sandy one step at a time, you can do it girl!!!

Make it a GREAT day Amigas!

Hello ladies!!! I have been MIA for no good reason. Yes, Nate was home but I was still logging into SparkPeople so I really have no excuse for not logging in here. But I'm working on getting back...I weighed in on the 2nd at :noway: 182.5:noway: It's bad, I know! So today I'm taking my water bottles to work with me and going to push hard to actually DRINK both of them. I'll try to update you guys better later. I'm sure there are a ton of posts I haven't read so I'll try to catch up on those sometime this week. I'm off to work now. I'll be back soon I promise!

Happy Monday Lovely Ladies!

I have to start Fresh with logging because there is no way I can remember what i ate and it really doesn't matter cause I was still at 148 this morning :ohwell: :happy: Although I feel very comfortable with my weight, I don't want to lose my new "lifestyle" and like Sandy mentioned... I don't want to get too squishy :laugh:

We watched "It's Complicated"... most of it :laugh: It was cute...

Sandy - Glad to hear you have fully recovered from that "bug" :bigsmile: We must do something to get us back in the swing of things. Are we still on our "toning" mission. How about we do challenges like. Workout ___ muscles per workout. For example:

Week 1 - Upper Body: in addition to 20 minutes cardio, we must do 3 sets - 2 muscles, your choice to allow for recovery.
Example:
day 1 - 3 set Triceps, 3 set Biceps
day 2 - 3 set shoulders, 3 set Back
day 3 - 3 set Chest, 3 set Abs

Week 2 - Lower Body: in addition to 20 minutes cardio, we must do 3 sets - 2 muscles, your choice to allow for recovery.
Example:
day 1 - 3 set Hamstring (deadlifts, leg curls, etc.)
day 2 - 3 set Quads/Thighs (lunges, squats, step-ups, etc)
day 3 - 3 set of Glutes ( think these are similar to the thighs/quads)

You decide which 3 days between Monday - Sunday... It's less intense than we usually do, but I really don't want to make exercise a "Job". If anyone has any improvements or suggestions, they are more than welcomed :bigsmile:

Amanda - So sorry you're babies are going thru another illness. Hopefully, they will be back to normal soon. :flowerforyou: How was the new Chalean? Good you have something new with the New Year.... I can't wait to know what your HRM shows too :bigsmile: What's taking so long :laugh:

Suzanne - Nothing like the New Year to put us on Track... If you notice. January of 2009 is when I joined mfp :blushing: 1 quick, year later and I'm HAPPY with my weight :bigsmile:

Nicole - Hey Miss Survivor :bigsmile: How was your first day of school? I'm imagining it was today. I hope it's all you expected it to be :bigsmile: Have you figured how you will still have time for Exercise? Thanks for keeping our Thread Recent :bigsmile:

I have my gym gear with me and expect to start Fresh and New....

2010 Goal - To lower Body Fat from 29% to 24% :happy:

Anyone else Dare to Write their 2010 Goal :flowerforyou:

Make it a great day!

sanifrey

Hello Girls!!

What a day this has been! Makayla has been such a brat today that I'm finally just getting her calmed down & settled. We tried for step class this morning, but since her favorite little friend wasn't there, she refused to go into the babysitting area. We ended up leaving.. I put her in time out as soon as we got home. It's been down hill ever since. She's just been testing me & trying me all day. Oh the joys of motherhood!

Anyway, I was able to do my Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd on Saturday - 350 cals burned. It had been so long since I'd done that dvd that all the front & side lunges have left me very, very sore! I rested on Sunday & today I ended up hitting the treadmill for an hour - 340 cals burned.

Spicy, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your movie or at least what you saw That did look like a funny one. I love your challenge ideas & just printed them out so that I know what to do! I also love your 2010 goal! Sounds very, very good! I'll have to check out my body fat & see what I can do about that as well.

Nicole, how's it going with you?? I hope that you're enjoying school & I hope that the kids are keeping healthy! How's the zumba coming?? Were you very sore from your 90 min class on Saturday??

Amanda, how's the new workouts?? Sorry to hear that you were fighting the stomach bug thing - no fun! You are just going to love that HRM!! It's a real eye opener!

Amy, welcome back! I know that you enjoyed your time w/ Nate! As far as your weigh in, don't let it get you down. Just really concentrate on drinking your water & getting yourself active & accountable by tracking your food. There's really no secret. It's all calories in / calories out. You can do it!! Set yourself a mini goal to complete by the end of the month & set yourself up to achieve that success!

Have a great day ladies!!

Sandy
