    Hi everyone!! :flowerforyou:

    Callie - Yes! The pity party is OVER. :smile:

    Fabulous - Hi there! Check in anytime you want!

    Sweettart - Congrats on the new job! I sooo know how it feels to all of the sudden be on your feet for so long. I have off work over the summer and man, oh, man when we start back the first few weeks are pure torture on my feet! :grumble: You must be so excited this is your last week of SI6 - and you're going to make it through!! :drinker: Can't wait to hear what BL Bootcamp is like!

    So, that 'box' has arrived. Yep, P90X is lookin' at me. Kinda scared. :laugh: I flipped through the guidebook and nutrional program very loosely and it is a bit intimidating - but in a good way if that makes any sense. :tongue: I like a program that comes with some solid info behind it. Just don't feel like reading all that right now. :laugh: I still haven't committed on a date to start; I really am working on diet-related things this week and having a light cardio week for exercise also. I am trying to at least get some muscle & joint rest this week...maybe take a whole week off next week...ahhhh, I don't know yet. Yep, not sure about much, huh?

    Off to get some cardio in...and try to watch American Idol, Biggest Loser, and the Cleveland Cavaliers playoff game. Yeah, that's not gonna all happen. :wink: Even with the DVR I can't do all 3 programs at once. :mad: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

    Have a great night everyone!

    HI GIRLS:happy:


    Sweettart CONGRATULATIONS on your new job.... can you wear a good supportive w/o shoe to help with the hard tile floors!
    I ended up putting BLB on my Netflix list to check out!


    Scoobees Thought about you today when I was eating green chilie enchiladas for lunch, mostly ALL my cals for the day! So its gonna be a lean dinner. So NO PP (pity party) for me... just fit it in the allowance! :smile: But so glad you got your P90 X... its a bit intimidating? I think your up for the challenge!!!

    I feel like a bum NO RIU .. I started doing chores and it went into ALL day... weeds- windows- porches to mopping floors... Realtors are coming to look at the house tomorrow, I hope we like them... we are ready to sell!

    Hope BL is GOOD tonight! I'm going to get some bike time in ... EnjoY all!

    THAT'S the way to do it Callie! You fit it in your allowance...man, that's a concept I've never learned!!! :grumble: :laugh:

    I didn't really mean P90X is intimidating ('course, I haven't viewed a dvd yet lol)...but when you open the box and see like 12 workouts and the two manuals can almost be used for hand weights... WOW! Ok, so I am exaggerating a bit about that :tongue: but I really am looking forward to giving it my best shot.

    Callie: BLBC is a good workout! I have tried it before but got sick and stopped then went to SI6 instead. Now its time to do this 6 week workout!

    I really wish I could do P90X with you guys but my house isnt big enough to do it :explode:

    Good Morning Girls :smile:

    Scoobees.. A friend of my DD has P90X... she brought it home and was doing for a few days... it was to much! She likes JM 30 Day Shred more. But I took a look It felt like POWER in my hands...:bigsmile: One of these days!! Cheers to you for giving it your all :drinker:


    Sweettart I bet your going to see a BIG difference... from the last time you did BLBC... SI6 has had to make you STRONGER! Have fun!


    How did you like BL last eve ?... one of my favorites! REAL people! I did 62 mins on the bike while watching and my quads are super sore this morning. ( ITS GOOD) I guess bending and stooping while pulling weeds yesterday contributed also?

    Have a AWESOME day :flowerforyou:

    It doesn't take THAT much room. I do it in our bedroom in an area that's about 3 x 5 feet.

    Hope you're all doing well with SI6. I have been kind of scarce in here, as I'm in an X state of mind. I missed Debbie that first day, but when I woke up so sore yesterday, I realized I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing now. It was time for me to change things up!

    Pulled out my very first SI6 dvd (start it up) and actually did it all (although I wanted to stop more than once)! I know I am going to like the workouts but doing the first one just reminds me of how out of shape I really am. I will need all the support I can get! :wink:

    Jill Change is a good thing! Keep popping in here... we miss you! :smile:

    Deborah GREAT job... I think the 1st day is the hardest... you dont quite know what to expect! Were behind you Deborah.... cheering you on!! :smile:

    I sure hope you are, Callie! I can barely move my legs and walking up and down the stairs is killing me! :sad: Those squats were right on the mark in targeting muscles that I haven't worked in years! Question: Do I skip a day? Do the workout again today even though my legs are screaming? :sad: Take a couple of muscle relaxants and bike instead? Could somone please let me know what's best? :flowerforyou:

    Did you do Slim & Limber after SIU yesterday? It is SO good to do after every single Slim in 6 workout. If I were you, I'd do as much of SIU today as I could and then definitely do S&L afterward. Hope your legs feel better soon!

    Good Morning all:smile:

    Deborah I know what you mean... mine are still sore... but better! I think you should go at your OWN PACE! Mixing it up with biking or just plain walking would hopefully loosen it up ? Maybe you might need to have a rest day? I looked last eve... I am not winning any SI6 race for sure... this is my 6th week and I still have 2 RIU's & 18 whopping BIU's left ! At that pace I'll be another 6 wks.. I dont care, I am into finishing what I started. I am doing the BEST that I CAN! YOU.... ALSO!!! :smile: I hope they feel better!!

    Have a :smile: day!

    Hello everyone. I'm not sure if anyone on here is still doing Slim in 6 or just starting or anything...but I thought I'd post anyway. I just started Slim in Six 2 weeks ago. I am on my first day of week 3. I am getting a bit frustrated with it just because I am consistently tired and not really seeing pounds lost (though it's only my second week and I haven't been measuring). Just thought I'd see if anyone else is doing it and see if I could get/ give some motivation. :flowerforyou:

    Make sure you're doing a good job with your eating, and then be patient. I didn't lose tons of weight quickly doing Slim in 6 (about a pound a week), but I lost 27 pounds in seven months, which isn't too shabby!

    I definitely think I need to clean my eating up a bit. I'm now getting to where my appetite isn't raging after doing my workouts...so that helps! I definitely think I am losing inches. I am wearing this shirt today that I would have never worn before due to a fat buldge on each side that's dwindled away for the most part now...LoL That's a plus and makes me feel a bit more motivated! Besides, I can do all the pushups now and definitely all of the squats and plies! Yay! LoL 27 pounds is a lot to lose...I hope I can say that one day!

    Hi brooksie3 :smile:


    I am finishing my 6th week.. and I have seen very little change on the scale... and I dont know on my inches lost.. ? I am afraid to measure... but I have to say I dont look so bulge... either, so that is a good thing!

    But I know the yo- yo of the scale is due to not sticking to my BMR cals and not ((mostly)) eating clean. I have to do that to see the change that I want.

    :flowerforyou: WTG on going into your 3rd week of SI6 ... and CONGRATS on the noticeable change in your shirt!

    Thats super motivation!! :smile:

    I did my next to LAST RIU..... I am ready to move on!!

    Getting my 2nd SI6 workout in today. (RIP) Also got a walk in this week. Not very much exercise this week. Have been dragging! :yawn: Had a lot of stress this week (sick parents) and felt TOM fatigue. (Aren't I too old for TOM....come on!) I am kicking myself in the pants next week and vowing to get a good workout in at least 4X/week. So thankful for this thread Callie!

    Am doing the RIU workout and some weights today. I am doing the Skinny Saturday Challenge and need to get 2 workouts in! That will help me to feel better for sure. :smile: I am inspired by all of you this week. :flowerforyou: My weigh in is Sunday. The scale has been stuck for 2 weeks. Hoping to see even a 1/2 pound change! Wish me luck!:heart:

    LOL @ getting too old for TOM. I am in that same boat, but it's at least trying to stop. I go three or for months without it, which is nice, but I'll be glad when it's completely gone.

    Time for me to go work out. Have a great weekend!

    Hang in there Fab!!! Hope your parents are feeling better by now and your w/o's will help with the stress!! I understand 1/2 lb loss per week.. would be going in the right direction! Good luck on Sundays w/ in!!

    Jill Looks like your on a P90X roll!! Your kicking Tony's *kitten* or is it the other way??:tongue::laugh: :laugh:


    I am doing my LAST.... :noway: RIU!!!! ( making myself) Ye- Ha..... then going out to work in the yard! :smile: :smile:

    Hi Callie! Today is my rest day too, thank goodness. Tony is kicking my butt, but in the best way.

    I have loads of housework and laundry to do today too, but I wouldn't rather work out. I am so happy to be able to rest, but I will be ready to bring it tomorrow!

    Yeppers! But in a good way! :tongue: :wink: :devil: That one will ALWAYS remain in my top few of 'go to' workouts when I need to get down to some serious business. Can't wait to hear how much you love/hate it!! :drinker:

    I've been MIA for a bit; rough work week, going in early everyday, stress, etc so my workouts and good eating habits have been totally hit & miss. But that one's over and a new week begins today - yay!

    I've decided (I think lol) that I am going to start P90X tomorrow! :noway: :wink: I spent a lot of the weekend reading both the nutritional & fitness guides, mapping out an eating plan I can sort of live with (lol), grocery shopping for all those good foods, and watching the 'how to bring it' dvd. But then I popped in the workout that I may be doing tomorrow and had some huge rounds of laughter. :ohwell: I hope P90X's tagline of 'do your best and forget the rest' really applies. Yikes. There's a few things I'm pretty sure I can't do one rep of - but I will definitely give it a shot. In my younger days maybe...:tongue: There bettter not be anyone home here tomorrow - I hear the swear words a comin'! :laugh:

    And I just found out a few hours ago that my brother will be getting married in August! I am so happy for them, and happy that I have another incentive to get my head back in this exercise & clean eating thang! I 'should' be done with my first round right before their wedding! Or dead. :laugh:

    Enjoy the weekend all! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks for the encouragement, Jill! :drinker:

    Got a good outside walk in today with my best friend, Lucky the dog! :heart: We went up and down a few hills together and had a long talk! :laugh: Ate out for lunch and even had a small dessert but still came in under a bit. Celebrated a 2lb loss this week. The scale Gods were smiling down on me this week. :smile: Thanks for encouraging me to workout. I have been a bit sluggish but no more excuses! I will try to do something everyday except Mondays (a really long day for me). I think we will all have a great week. :flowerforyou: Good luck to those trying out the PX90! My friend has it and says she is dripping in sweat after the workout! You go girls! :bigsmile:
