My knees are killing me today so I made an appointment with an orthapedist for next Wednseday (that makes 3 dr appontments for that day :grumble: . I am hoping he can give me a knee brace that fits better and that I ca wear while working out. I MIGHT try to get a workout in this weekend but it all depends on the knees0

Choco - way to go on the workout. Modify everything - like Tony says u don't have to do what they do, u have to do what's best for u! I could never do even one pull up - have u tried using the reistance band like one of the guys does? or the chair like the girl does?
Dawna- thnx for the compliment. I took that pic for xmas and I hope when I try on that dress again next weekend it's bigger than it fit back in December haha.
Porterbaby - I agree why not do TJ around the hubby? feel silly? I feel that u gain confidence with all those moves and I feel sexy actually hahahaha
Smadag - hope u get a better knee brace so u can complete ur workouts to the fullest!
Not sure about weekend plans yet but today I have been very bad already and plan on getting a good workout tomorrow. Not sure what time tho cuz I'm volunteering from 8am to 12pm to do Mathcounts for a school and well on Saturdays I usually workout first thing, but I don't wanna have to get up @ 6am on a Saturday :S0 -
because we only have one tv and he likes to watch tv, not me shaking my booty lol.0
-
choco: great job on your workout. also have fun with your friends next month.
nolachick: you do look great in that picture.
smadag: i hope your knee gets to feeling better.
kicklikeagirl: i'm glad that you and your husband does it together. great job on your workout.0 -
because we only have one tv and he likes to watch tv, not me shaking my booty lol.
porterbaby..you should tell him that if he watches you shake your booty for a bit, you'll reward him for allowing you to do the Turbo Jam workout with the TV
haha! i bet then he'd rather watch you do Turbo Jam than watch TV..haha! i think my husband has been grateful for the increase in self-confidence from working out. 0 -
actually i do all my workouts on the tapes, when he not around. that way i can have time to myself to do the exercises. that why i wait for him to leave to something. i'll wait and shake my booty when it's even more slim and toned haha lol. that way he has something better to look at instead of the tv. lol0

Well, it's confession time: I'm unsure what happened here. I was doing very well all day and then got so unbelievably hungry while out getting my pedicure and grabbed what I saw and thought I wanted at the time. Unfortunately, what I saw and wanted was a bag of Cool Ranch Munchies. I hadn't even had the desire for these chips in forever but all of a sudden I wanted them and there they were. Now, my intentions were to just have the allotted serving size which is 3/4 cup but before I realized it the whole bag was gone. Needless to say, I went WAY OVER my count in every category, oh well, back to the drawing board. While I do feel bad that I consumed the whole bag for some reason it feels alot easier to not beat myself up and regroup.
Well I'll be heading to kickboxing class momentarily and the lapdance workshop later so i'm hoping I can at least redeem myself then.0 -
good morning ladies, i feel great today, even though i'm on TOM, i weigh myself today and i'm happy to say i went from last saturday 178.4 to this saturday 175.6. i'm proud of myself and i want to thank everyone for helping me out.:happy:0

Happy Saturday everyone! Well today is week 1 day 6 of P90X and is suppose to be Kenpo X which incorporates a lot of kickboxing moves, so, instead of doing the actual dvd I went to the gym and ROCKED IT OUT!. I completed 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and burned 305 calories in the process and then I headed to my kickboxing class. I was able to burn over 400 calories in this 45 minute class and I'm feeling really great right now. Although I had a slip up yesterday I've already dusted myself off and moved on. I've burned over 700 calories today and that does not even include any calories burned from the lapdance class.
I just want to announce to my 10 in 9 buddies that the lapdance workshop was AWESOME!!!!!!!. I have a few battle scars (bruised my knees) from the workshop but SOOOOOOO WORTH IT. There were about 25 women of all shapes, sizes and colors all there to get their sexy on. The two instructors taught us an entire lapdance routine (about 3-5 minutes) and we practiced and practticed and practiced (hence the battle scars). While I am not currently dating anyone I do plan to continue practicing so when the time comes I can bust out my sexy moves. If anyone has even slightly considered taking any type of exotic dance class I would greatly encourage it. I don't suffer from any type of self esteem issues but I always leave there feeling like i'm the sexiest woman alive. My beautician had a ball too and is already asking me when we can sign up for another class.
Porterbaby: Congrats on the weight loss despite having your TOM. Apparently you are doing something correct so keep up the great work.
What an awesome Saturday!0 -
did the shred last night despite knee pain I just modified it to what I needed, but atleast I got a workout in that is 4 for me last week.0
-
Good afternoon ladies. I have returned from the gym after completing 60 minutes on the elliptical. My plan is to eat fairly light during the course of the day so when I go the superbowl parties later i can indulge a little if I choose to. I'm glad the workout is complete, I'm about to shower and just relax for the remainder of the day until it's time to get dress and head out to my destination.0

NOLACHICK: CONGRATULATIONS ON UR CITY'S WIN! It was a great superbowl game and the SAINTS definitely deserved the win! I'm sure your city is on PHYRE now with all the excitement. Will you be able to attend the parade tomorrow?0
-
porterbaby: congrats on the weight loss! must feel great! I know u were getting frustrated but it pays to hang in there.
Smadag: gld u got ur workout in again. I haven't done the shred in a while, need to start over on it.
Choco: sounds like u had a great weekend, and just one minor slip up which I wouldn't even worry about.
As for me, I haven't worked out since thursday so I feel horrible! well friday I didn't get up on time. Sat I had to volunteer for something from 8am - 12pm and well I'm sorry butI can't get up any earlier than that on the weekend, haha. Sunday well I shud have worked out considering it was the superbowl and of course I ate out but I will count in all the walking that I did on Fri, Sat, and Sunday when we had to park very far and walk downtown to catch the parades and all. So that had to count for something!
But I must say, today when I looked in the mirror after my shower I was really happy with the progress I have made with my body and I can't wait to see the end result!0 -

thnx choco~!! It was an amazing game, and I gotta admit I was biting mynails at half time, but deep down I knew we'd come back cuz we always do! I
my boys and I'm so happy they made it! So many people were doubting us and WE DID IT! :drinker: :drinker:
OH YES, I'm going to the Saints parade tomorrow. It rolls right by my work and I will be down there when the time comes!
GEAUX SAINTS~!0 -
Hey ladies!
The weekend was great- did my "power Saturday" which consisted of a 5 mile run and a circuit of ChaLean Extreme. It felt great. Sunday is my rest day and so I made some yummy appetizers for the big game and watched Nola's Saints to victory! My husband was rooting for the Colts, but a little rivalry is always fun, so I was cheering on the Saints. I'm feeling disgusting today. Yesterday I was lower on my calories and wasn't hungry for most of the day, just nibbled on some apps.... and then 10pm hit and I was starving...ugh- so I woke up this morning not wanting to get up because I felt disgusting!!! I probably wouldn't have felt so disgusting if I would have ate more healthier choices yesterday...but oh well- its not everyday I make some appetizers that tasted as good as the ones I made! Haha! But, its a new day, I brought healthy food to work...and I'm ready for my workouts tonight!
Have a great Monday!0 -
Good morning ladies! I hope everyone's weekend was filled w/fun, excitement, workouts and rest. Today is week 2 day 1 of P90X and I completed the 52 minute "Chest & Back" dvd. While there are parts of the P90X series that I definitely like and feel like I've gotten a great workout (Plyo, Kenpo & Cardio dvds) there are others I walk away from not sure what just happened although I give it my all on ALL the exercises. I may have to improvise by throwing in some Jillian Michael dvds or going to the gym to get some additional cardio but unsure right now. Anyhoo the workout is complete.0

choco: I'm not sure if u read one of my posts but did you try using resistance bands for the pull up work outs? and on those ur not quite feeling it. those resistance bands can be tough!0
-
Nola, I do use resistance bands but I don't feel like i'm getting enough tension. I've tried making them tighter but not sure what else to do. I have a co-worker who uses the bands so perhaps I'll ask him the specific bands he uses and see if that resolves some of my problem. The other issue is i'm not sure if the space that I'm using w/the bands is big enough. Since I workout in my living room I use the bands w/the bathroom door b/c it's close enough to the living room that I can still see the tv and hear what Tony is saying on the dvd. I'm just not sure if the space between the bathroom door and the hallway is enough to get the resistance needed. It will be trial and error. As long as I don't regain weight I'm not going to worry about it and I'll keep pluggin away as best I can.
Nola, thank for the feedback.0 -
Good morning ladies! I decided to forego the P90X Plyometrics dvd and went w/Jillian Michaels' Blast Fat/Boost Metabolism for a total of 50 minutes. I really like this dvd b/c it incorporates some Plyometric moves, kickboxing and a lot of ab work. I have to admit that since I've hit my goal weight it has been a little harder to get motivated to workout everyday but b/c of my new found friends on MFP I keep pluggin away at it. You don't know how many times over the last few weeks that I've said "I'll skip the workout today" only to remember my dedicated friends here on this site and think to myself "If they can do it, then so can I". I'm not sure how long this will last but I'll take it for now.0

way to go on the workouts choco! and also on the 45 days of logging. Between work andd spending time with my mom and parades, etc, it's hard to get my workouts it cuz after work i'm trying to rush home to spend time with my mom and since there's only one vehicle @ my house, she relies on me to take her wherever she needs to go. In the morning well its getting harder to wake up @ 5:30am when I've just gone to bed @ 12. and it's so hard to get in bed before then. Will really try to get my butt in bed by 11 all this week and eventually by 10 so it gets easier. Just so hard with everything going on right now. I have been watching what I eat tho, so I hope that counts for something. oh n can u tell me more about that JM Dvd you did? I was tempted to buy the Blast fat boost met. dvd along with no more trouble zones but I'm not sure I would like it after doing the 30 day shred. Only cuz I need a really upbeat instructor to motivate me and welll she's kinda serious and doesn't say much except for the cues.0

Hi ladies!
It is really motivating to me to hear ya'll doing your workouts and your healthy eating. I am in this little hole right now trying to really motivate myself. I think its really been just a lack of rest and so my body hasn't had much energy to want to workout. But, I keep pushing through. Today I slept a little later than usual so that I could be well rested to get a good strong workout in tonight. And I AM going to DO IT! I HAVE to do it! My exercise is what makes me feel confident, healthy, and energized.
BTW, I'm sort of getting sick of this guy I work with. He's in his early 30s, and he claims he is the "funny" guy in the office. He pulls pranks, is ALWAYS sarcastic, and is constantly belitting people. Every day he says "You are getting skinnier every day". And, you know- at first I was taking it as a compliment. But, now he says it in a sarcastic tone and I just smile and say thanks. Whenever I drink my water he makes sarcastic comments like "Are you sure you are drinking enough water?" or if I bust out a snack like cheese or nuts he says "I don't think you'll get any skinnier if you keep eating the way you do." Or, if someone talks about any sort of health food, drink or program he says "Well, lets ask Dawna, she's an expert on weight loss, she gets skinnier everyday." And then he laughs. I can only handle so much more of his sarcasm. I guess I should have kept my mouth shut in the beginning. He was noticing my weight loss and asking me what I was doing- so I briefly explained (exercise, healthy eating, water, portion control) and since then he points out every little thing. Ugh- I usually get along great with the guy, but when he starts up on his health stuff it annoys me. He's the "FUNNY" guy in the office and always trying to make people laugh. Someday he won't think its funny when I use my new, strong muscles to punch him in the face. Haha! Just kidding...but seriously- I'm about ready to flip one of these days and call him out on his "trying to hard to be funny act" cause its getting SO old.0 -
good morning ladies.
kicklikeagirl: i'm sorry that you have a jerk at your work,keep up the good work.
choc: great job on your workouts, you are doing great
nolachick:sound like you are having fun spending time with your mom.0 -
Mornin ladies
I can't wait to go to the Dr tomorrow to find out why I am having so much knee pain.
I did the shred last night to get a quick workout in before hubby went to bed (I workout in our room)
Nolachick I am not a big fan of JIllian Michaels but the shred is a quick workout, I feeli like a get a better workout from her banish fat boost metabolism, but that could just be because it is longer. I can't wait to get my P90X wich should be here tomorrow :happy: .
Dawna I would tell the guy to stuff it but that is just me I say what is on my mind0 -

Dawna I would tell the guy to stuff it but that is just me I say what is on my mind
smadag, lemme know what the dr. tells u cuz I have really been having it with my knee too. yesterday after work I went to run errands with my mom, keep in mind I haven't worked out since Thursday and it wasn't hurting all weekend but last night my knee was just intolerable. I kept feeling a sharp pain or something and I coudn't take a full step on it to put all my weight on it, so I was kinda limping. Not good, I know. My mom suggested joint and cartiledge (sp?) supplements, so I may do that on Fri when i get paid.
Dawna, holy crap that description sounds exactly like a guy at my work who swears he is the funniest and most popular one. but he also gets on my nerves, like one day everyone from work was going to a new restaurant and I wasn't even going, but I was making suggestions on things that are good there for them to try and he had the nerve to say something like "sounds like u been eating there a lot, u sure that's going t help your diet?" and I'm sorry, I lost it and told him he was STUPID. lol.
I'm not usually mean esp. not at work but it had been the last straw of him nit-picking everything I eat and drink and did I mention he's overweight. Ugh! he hasn't said anything to me since. lol. finally shut him up!
also, Dawna u need to listen to ur body and let it rest, I think I was going overboard at one point and just crashed and it took me a while to get back up. So be careful with that.
Porterbaby, how's it coming?0 -

Nola, if you need upbeat then Jillian is definitely not your gal BUT I usually just play a really upbeat dvd during her workouts so I don't even hear what she says. I just change exercises when I see her change and this has worked well for me. Blast Fat and No More Trouble zones are about 45/50 minutes so a little longer than the shred but give you an awesome workout. The Blast Fat dvd doesn't utilize any weights. Like I said it has some Plyo type moves along w/kickboxing and old school calisthenics w/a variety of moves that target your abs.
Let me know what u decided.0 -

Dawna, he's what I call a HATER and me being the person that I am I would call him such. While I'm not always like this I do have a smart mouth so if someone is pissing me off I'll usually let something smart. After a few of my remarks they tend to drop the subject. If he had something smart about my food I probably would have said something like "why u so worried about my food b/c I could care less about what ur eating"
However you decide to handle the situation don't let him steal your joy. You've worked too hard to get where you are.0 -

Go NOLA, u told him! My mom use to tell me this as a child regarding school bullies. While I was never bullied she told me that if I ever was that sometimes you just need to stand up to them b/c they thrive off of fear/intimidation but once you knock them in the head (my mom actually told me this) one good damn time they will leave you alone. The lesson always stayed w/me and I do believe it's true in a lot of cases. Ppl say and do things as long as WE allow them too. I say Nip that sh!# in the bud and you'll no longer have the problem.0 -
Thanks ladies,
I am going to say something to him and its going to be a lot more forceful and demanding than it has in the past. In the past I have just said "Okay, well this conversation is done." and then I get back to work. But, I think I'm going to call him out on his attempt to try to be so funny. He's not fit by any means, in fact someone took a picture of him at our company "Paint-a-Thon" fundraiser and he was stuffing his face, and the company member emailed it to everyone. He was very embarrassed and is very self-conscience. The thing is- he deserved it because he does that kind of stuff to everyone. But, when it got pulled on him he wasn't so happy about it. I think he's trying to compensate and be funny & sarcastic to people because of his lack for of confidence. But, thanks ladies! I don't need to put up with it anymore.
Choco- you make me laugh, I love your advice girl..haha.. I will Nip that in the butt..hahahah!
Nola- what kind of DVDs are you looking for? A cardio DVD? A strength training DVD? Or a mix between cardio/strength training? I have some favorites and know a gal who has a ton of DVDs that I've tried out. Also, with the pain in your knee, is it coming because of the TJ workout? I know when I first started I wasn't really into the concept that you have to pivot your feet in the position you are punching and things like that. Otherwise it can cause some major pain and problems in the knee.
Smagdag- hope your dr appt goes well. Take care of yourself and don't push yourself. Let your body heal
Porterbaby- Hope you are doing great and having some terrific workouts!0
