Beautiful Blues February 22, 2010

chrissyh

Here's what I've been doing...

Monday-Strength (adding P90X Cardio X or Cardio Intervals)
Tuesday-Short run (adding Yoga or 30 day shred)
Wednesday-Easy run (5-6 miles)
Thursday-Strength plus 30 minute elliptical(I am changing to either do CardioX, Cardio Intervals or another short run not elliptical)
Friday-Step Class OR Plyometrics
Saturday - LONG RUN
Sunday-Rest (usually a walk)

With the "OR" options I may rotate between them each week so that I'm mixing it up a little!

What ya' think?
I really want to get as close to my 10 pounds by April 7th.

I attended a class by Larry Scott--Mr. Olympia, and the 9 days is what he said. I figure if I am getting bored then it is time to change it up. I probably should have mentioned it before.

He also said that HCG is great and that he eats a protein to carb ratio of 4:1, I should probably take what he said with a huge cup of salt. But he did great as a body builder.

I am getting my exercise packing today. Getting rid of a ton of stuff too. We are going to list our house on Monday so I need to get it really clean.

Have a great one!

Chrissy- wow, your weekly plan looks good!!!!!

Debnu- Best wishes to you while moving and all.

Go Blues!!!!!!!

I was watching a info commercial on the p90x and would really love to try it. I have a few questions however. I know its for 90days which I'm ok with how long are the exercise i.e. an hour, two hrs. I really want my hubby to do it with me. I think he would see wonderful results however I know how much it cost also. I'm getting a tat next week. I suppose instead of getting that I could get the p90x he he. Maybe with our tax refund we could get it also. My new goal is to get into a size 14 by this summer as I have several capri's and shorts of that size. No more stepping on the scale for me for a while. Therapist says for me its not good for me at this point. Sometimes I sneak one in here and there. I have lost about 6lbs. This is without exercise and I haven't really been counting calories however I have been watching what I eat. My goal is to start counting again.

Everyone is doing a wonderful job and keep up the wonderful work.

chrissyh- you go girl on the weight loss

debnu1

j_g, I found it on amazon.com for $140, free shipping, which is the same cost as the program and shipping on the actual website. I have heard the workouts are an hour--but I will let those who have done it speak to that. I am seriously thinking about getting it too. After I move, however--so if you want to start the 90 days in April, I will join you.

I am down 3 lbs from last Friday. I feel as though I am not doing much, just trying to only eat when hungry. I was under cals yesterday, but not by much--The funny thing is I am not officially exercising, just running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. :laugh:

Chrissy I love your workout schedule. Someday I will say that a 5 mile run is easy too!

:flowerforyou:

Good morning everyone,
I was just looking at my P90x material last night.
most exerercises are approx an hour, but some days Tony wants you to combine an extra exercise.
ie 2-3 times a week add in Ab ripper x (so that makes some days 1 hour to 1.5 hours).

HTH

Tonight's my last day of my 30 day challenge with EA active - Rest this weekend, Going to be starting up my P90x on monday.
Looking back, I had only did 2-3 weeks before I "injured" my back/hamstring - So I'm just going to continue the next 10 weeks or so.
I now have more accountability, as my Day 90, should be the week before I leave for Florida to get married and go to Jamaica for the honeymoon.:drinker:

P90X is hardcore! Plyo is killer but I really like that he breaks things down in 30 second or 1 minute intervals so you push yourself to do "just 15 seconds more"...I've also done the Cardio X-limiting my strength training to two days a week for now-I am afraid that if I added in too much P90X that my body will be too sore to run and I've trained to long to not finish this Half Marathon on March 21 because I injur myself trying to be wonderwoman!

debnu1

Chrissy I think you just might be wonder woman--don't injure yourself though.

smadag, I understand not having an appetite back yet--I think I am losing because of it--so I guess I can't complain too loudly. I am glad you are doing better and a little money on the side isn't bad at all is it?

ttthumper--the wedding is coming up quick, isn't it! Keep up the great work--you don't have too far to go! You can do it!!

Okay I took enough of a break--back to boxes!

smadag1

Going to work with hubby tomorrow. We are going from our house in central AL to Decatur (very North AL) back past the house to Pensicola, FL. OMG it is going to be a VERY long day but well worth the $$$$$

MayLan

HI Team,

tthumper- Very exciting to look forward to your wedding!!!!!!

Debnu- I think that with packing the boxes and moving you might be burning extra calories.

Smadag- Glad to hear from you again. It's exciting that you are working with your hubby.....and can spend time together. Take care on your trip and have a safe journey!

I got in my exercise for today and did Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit & Cardio Abs for a total of 55 minutes. My weight is slowly stabilizing. I'm going to give it another week and then I'll re-assess.

Here's to a good weekend all!!!!

smadag1

Forgot to mention that his work is very physical and we will be unloading a semi truck all day so I know I will get a wrokout in :drinker: :drinker:

Ok I have another question. I can't do a pull up for the world how does that work with the p90x??

thumper44

I couldn't do one either when I started.
You can use a chair instead it makes things easier if your feet are up on something.

cool thank you!!

j_g4ever

just saw this on the view and thought i would see what you guys thought

http://www.ffactordiet.com/

debnu1

I have never heard of the f-factor diet before. I don't think you could ever go off of it because of the 50 grams of fiber you would be ingesting everyday--you either never start or never stop. The average of less than 1200 calories a day rather worries me though. Otherwise it looks like you eat your proteins and vegies...

I moved boxes for 3 hours yesterday--I was completely wornout!! We got a lot done though and now I just need to get the house clean since they will be taking pictures to list it on the MLS on Monday.

Lots to do!! I caved and ate some fries last night--I went way to long without eating. They were ok...:ohwell: I'll have to think twice about that next time.

Have a great day!

j_g4ever

There has been no more exercise for me yesterday or today. 6 seizures yesterday and two today. I need to figure out how many calories I can eat in a day without exercise. Then the days I have exercise I will go from there. I'm 5'6 and my goal is to get down to a size 14 by this summer. so about 155 or so. Please help as these seizures seem to be getting worse and results in no exercise for me right now.

MayLan

Hi everybody,

Debnu- Wish you the best in your move!!! I'm sure you're burning lots of calories.

jgforever- Please let your doctor know about your seizures. I don't know much about them, but it worries me.

I was out dining with family, but I'm giving myself some slack. I'm back on track tomorrow with a complete exercise. I managed to get in 20 minutes in today of squats and lunges.

Have a great night all!!

Hey everybody.
Sun. aft and just got in from weekend and ready to watch the Gold medal hockey game.
Go Canada Go!
Win, or lose it should be an awesome game.

So....hehehehe I umm had to surprise my fiancee yesterday. I was to help her bride's maid's hubby work on the house. Fiancee was going for the ride and go to the mall with her friend. Well that was my part, they had a surprise bridal shower, and then a surprise party later on (the younger ladies) lol. Seems she had a few last night. LOL I drove home and she's gone to take a nap.
Now, sitting here typing, I'm itching to do some kind of workout. Today was supposed to be rest day but yesterday didn't do anything except some Wii last night, and I've got the bug going now, want to exercise.

Have a great day everybody.

Go CANADA GO!!!

MayLan

Hi everybody,

I guess alot of people are busy, because it has been so quiet in here.

tthumper- Enjoy your wedding celebrations and am happy that you are committed to your exercise regime.

I'm going to be doing grocery shopping today and working on school homework. I did P90x Core Synergistics for a total of 60 minutes.

Take care everyone!!!!

j_g4ever

I'm going to get a second opinion on dignosies and see what they say. I have to talk to my doctor in order to get the ok to go to Mayo down in the cities. Exercise right now is the last thing on my mind. It would seem like it would help me de-stress but at this point if I do too much I tend to go into one. Eating right is my only other way. Not letting myself get back up to my old weight NO WAY!!

smadag1

went to work with hubby yesterday and my body is KILLING ME today. We left our house @ 3am and did not get home until almost 8pm I feel like I did nothing but workout yesterday, I hurt all over.
I am hoping the unusual workout and the lack of appetite will help me show a loss on the scale.

debnu1

Jess could you just lift some 5 lb weights? Just do a few bicep curls and then raise them to the side and over your head a few times. You won't over do but it will be something. I am glad you are going to get a second opinion. Mayo would be a great place to start. Have you ever googled your symptoms?

smadag--way to go! I am sure you will show a loss this week! Getting paid for working out is great!

Peter, sounds like the wedding plans are really underway. Have fun!

Today is the final cleanup of the house before pictures for listing at 4--I probably won't get the chart up until tomorrow. Still send your weights in please...

Have a great day. I am going to need to get back to basics again. I ate a ton of salt over the weekend and my weight is showing. My ap:ohwell: petite is back...:ohwell:

Hi team!!

Just a quick 'hello' before booting it to work.

Yesterday I went snowboarding and had so sos os ososos much fun. Today, my body is feeling it. Legs sore, back, shoulders, (vague whiplash from a nasty fall...heh), even my FOREARMS are sore (?!?!). Hehehe. I love this kind of exercise best --- 4 hrs passes and you barely even notice. That last run though, my legs were ready to quit. Snow was wonderful but really wet. .Great crowd, and then we found a nearby sports bar to catch the gold metal game, which I'm sure we can all agree was thrilling like whoa! I think i burned 1 lb in stress alone during overtime...

Today, some light cardio after work and a Shoulders/Triceps/Chest circuit. Ughhhh i feel like i'm getting sick, but hoping it's just sports exhaustion from yesterday.

Hope you guys had fun this weekend and looking forward to this week!!
best best,
kat

MayLan

Good morning everyone,

Kat- Sounds exciting to be snowboarding...I'm sure your body is just feeling the workout from yesterday. Wish you a good day and a nice workout!!

Debnu-- Wow, everything is happening so fast. Wish you the best move and that you can accomplish everything you want to.

Peter- Enjoy your upcoming wedding. It only happens once!!!!!!

I'm up early this morning and got in my workout for today and did Insanity Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs for a total of 55 minutes. It felt weird working out in the morning, but I'm happy I did it. I almost forgot about weigh in, because my weight still has not adjusted. I'm going to give it a bit more time and not stress it. I've decreased my calories by just 100 calories since I had increased about 300 calories. I need to pay attention to my foods and my macronutrients like carbs, proteins, and fats.

Well, people, have a great day, eat right, and have a great workout!!!!!!

j_g4ever

my hubby was nice enough to share his cold with me. I'm starting to feel better. I found out that I can get 10min solutions like the kickboxing on netflix and we have the instant thing for our PS3 so I'm going to try them and see if they work. I love the idea of free he he. My goal is to try that this week. Trying to eat right still.

You guys are doing great and keep up the great work.

smadag1

Couln't start P90X yesterday because I did some work for hubby's company again so I am going to start it today before they call me to go do more work
