Good morning all,
Not much going on in my world. Got some multi-grain bread from the farmer's market yesterday. I had that and some strawberry perserves for breakfast this morning along with my green tea. Driving my sis up to NJ tomorrow so she can be with our brother who's having surgery today. He's having an ulcer removed from his leg. Please keep him in prayer. He's extremely overweight, has a bloodclot behind his knee and the ulcer. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for him to loose the weight for good. TF 55 EZ today. Cold & rainy here today.

Shalla, Jamirah, Ruckus check in. And everyone else too.

Hello everyone! My name is Kenya and I'm new to the group. I just received my TF set yesterday and tried it for the first time last night just to see what I was in for. OMG, it's a great workout. It probably would feel alot better if I was coordinated and could pick up on the moves fast...LOL!! I felt like I was kicking and punching everywhere but not in the right place...LOL!! Any suggestions? Am I the only one in the group that felt like this the first time trying it? How long did it take you to catch on to the routine?

JacciSimms

Welcome Kenya!! Of course you're not the only one to feel like you're going left when you should be going right. :embarassed: We all have. As a matter of fact, I got my punches wrong last night and I've been using TF for 5 weeks!!! Stick with it, you'll get it. Thanks for joining us. Feel free to post any time.

Good morning! Ladies & welcome Kenya! So good to have you here! Yes, just as Jacci said. We all have had/still having those moments where we're like what? Even though we're on week 5 we're still trying to get into the moves. It's your first time so don't worry just keep trying. Do the "New to class" option anytime you need to.

Jacci, I hope he has a successful surgery and hopefully this is an eye opener for him to change. Prayers go out to you and your family during this time. I wish you a safe trip too. Will you let us know how he's doing when you can? As far as the weather it's been raining and cold here too. Yesterday it was just cold and gloomy. Oh yeah and I also had Fire 55EZ today. I KILLED it! Yes, I did! Every since I finished the cleanse I notice I do ten times better in my workouts. Great energy!

Today I might do some Zumba just to burn a couple more calories. I also, have to do my hair. I'm perming it and changing the color. I'm going to do a mixture of Ruby Red + Rosewood Brown. It's going to be so cute! Can't wait to have my red back. I only do rinses because I refuse to do a dye. I've done Ruby Red + True Red + Senna Brown before it turned out EPIC! LOL

Shalla, you are so funny. "Epic" seems to be the new word for you kids (remember I'm 56)!!! Take a pic and post your before and after hair color. How did your mom's hair turn out? How was her interview?

ShallaLovee

LOL, I'll have to do that. I hope it turns out really red Ahahaha! Her hair was cute. Mad I never do my own hair like that. I can do other peoples hair so pretty but it seems impossible to do mine LOL. Her interview went great. It's a seasonal job. So they gave her a interview, showed her around and told her they would call her by Nov. if they want to pick her up for year around than they would tell her that also. She's excited, I'm excited for her. I know she has it. I'll feel so much better once she gets "the call". Thanks for asking!

Thanks you guys for the warm welcome and the encouraging words!! I know eventually I will get it but right now it seems soooooo difficult!! I wish it was a slow version first and then go to the fast....LOL!! I'm not giving up!! My official start day is Monday but I'm practicing right now, so hopefully by Monday, I will at least feel like I know what I'm doing!!

ShallaLovee

I did the exact same thing! I did Fire Starter up until the day it was time to "Officially" start LOL. It's good practice.

Here's my results from today. I'm just a tad upset I was putting the color in for about 20 minutes or so and it turned out like this. UGH! I wanted it more Red looking. Oh wells.
