    I finally have a scale I can use. I had a horrible week last week as far as calories and exercise goes. This week goal is to stay in calorie goal and exercise everyday.

    Tonight is Margarita Monday with my girlfriends & also Aunt Flo is here, so I'm going to have to work extra hard to keep from gaining this week! I'm going to attempt to bring my lunch to work at least 4 days this week! That's always a big challenge for me. If I can do that, then I should do okay calorie-wise!

    Hit and miss on calories and what I'm eating, but at least I'm paying more attention. Getting more consistent about exercise.

    Challenge for this week: Exercise every day. Period.

    Good afternoon all, I feel so neglectful b/c I usually post first thing in the morning but this day has really gotten away from me. I woke up on time but decided to lay in the bed another 30 minutes which threw my entire morning routine off. Today is week 5 day 2 of the P90X program which means it's Plyometrics day. I had not done this workout since re-starting P90X because I wanted my knee to rest from all the Insanity jumping. The rest from all the jumping proved to be truly beneficial b/c I was able to rock out the Plyometrics dvd this morning. I completed the entire workout w/o modifying any of the moves......WooHoo :drinker: :drinker:

    It's hump day, It's hump day! Can you tell I'm excited it's mid week? I've been really tired these past two days and I'm not feeling that great today either. I'm not sure if my mind and body have already gone on vacation but I need to get it together b/c there's a full week before my friends and I leave for Los Angeles.

    Anyway, today is week 5 day 3 of the P90X program which means it's back and bicep day. This was my first time completing this workout and it wasn't too bad. I still can't really do pull ups so i'm opting for the resistance bands. I can feel the pull in the back so i think I'm getting a good workout. I used 10 lb weights for every exercise that required dumbbells and I was able to feel the burn by the last 3 reps. I know I'll have to invest in 12 or 15 lbs soon enough b/c there are a few moves that I felt I could have rocked out w/heavier weights.

    It's Thursday and just one day closer to the weekend. My body is still not cooperating b/c I really feel like I'm dragging in body and mind. I'm beginning to wonder if i'm overexerting myself in some form or fashion b/c I've been going strong w/these workouts since January and I've been working back in the office since February. While I am a morning person and much rather get the workout over and done w/it, I wonder if all these 5 am workouts are beginning to run their course. I'm going to try to stay w/this routine until next week since vacation starts then and there won't be a real routine. I just know something has to give b/c I'm not really feeling like myself and I don't like it.

    Today is week 5 day 4 of the P90X program which means it's a YOGA day. If you've read any of my previous posts you know I don't do yoga so I switched it ups w/Insanity's Core Cardio and Balance dvd. Love this workout, it's short and to the point but definitely gets the job done.

    I hope everyone has a great day and I'll try to check in a little later.

    I would love to join you all... a bit late if that's ok. I am new to MFP and have a newborn at home. I'm breastfeeding and had a section so my calories and exercise are off right now, but having a goal and a group would really help!

    Welcome! I have been there, done that! Here are some recommendations as to how to use this site while BFing. Add your own exercise that you call "Breastfeeding" or "Nursing" or something similar. For the calorie burn, you may want to talk with your doctor, but most books recommend that you add 500 extra calories per day while nursing. You can put whatever you feel is appropriate for time. Just know that when you add this to your exercise diary in the future, that if you enter a different time, it will adjust the calories based on what you enter now. Just know that you NEED to add those calories everyday so that your supply doesn't suffer. (I made that mistake with my first and didn't realize it in time:cry: ) As for actual exercise, start with walking. Only do what is comfortable, but this will help with healing (getting those muscles back together) as well as calorie burn. Feel free to contact me if you have other concerns or questions, or if you just need someone to talk to who has been there done that!

    Hello All,
    Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here and hopefully my internet will get hooked up at home tomorrow, so I don't have to be MIA on the weekends. :tongue:
    Still going strong with the BBL, sometimes I think it looks like too much fun to be an actual workout. But I'm sore and dripping when I'm done so I know I'm getting a good workout. Yesterday I did 50 minutes of SCULP and 35 of Boom Boom which is totally to target your butt and tights.
    Hope everyone is having a great week :flowerforyou:
