TURBO JAMMERS!!!!

I am back to Jamming! Still doing the 30 Day Shred with Jullian Michaels, but no one inspires me like Chalean.So I am adding Turbo whenever I can. So glad to find everyone here.

Gained 5 pounds this week (oh please let most of it be water retention for all the salty junk I ate:noway:

Back on track with eating today. And I can do it again tomorrow!

I've been teetering back and forth between doing okay and doing rather badly as far as eating goes this past week. I haven't weighed myself in two weeks. The first week because it was my TOM, and this last Sunday just because I was too lazy ( the scale I use is not in my own home). I will however face up to it in the next few days, even if it is not my regular weigh day. I'm going to give myself a day or two of settling back into normal eating and water consumption first though. Why is it that when my sodium level goes up higher than normal I have even LESS of a desire for water?? :huh:

I haven't exercised in a few days, but I did go roller skating yesterday for the first time since grade school. Technically it was my first time ever skating, considering when I went as a child the most I would ever do was pull myself along the wall. I fell a LOT and I can feel it today. I have several giant bruises and my wrist is in quite a bit of pain, but I think it was worth it. When I got there I couldn't skate at all and when I left I was just extremely terrible at it. =D The only really bad part of it (besides the music that was so loud it vibrated in my chest) was the little girl who yelled at me that I can't skate as I (very slowly) passed her at the half wall thing. It brought up my inner bullied fat kid. I know that some kids are just cruel, and I shouldn't even give it a second thought. I guess at least I tried. I'm sick of never learning to do the things I want to do just because I'm afraid of looking stupid while trying.

Aaaanyway. I'm jumping back onto the wagon with a vengeance now. I'll let myself relax a little bit on New Years Eve during our annual family movie marathon, but other than that no more slacking. I don't know what exercise I'm going to do today yet, but I'm planning to hit the cardio pretty hard today.

Hey jammers! It sounds like everyone had a pretty great Christmas! Yay! Besides my lapse with cookies last week I've been sticking to it now!:drinker: I get in a funk sometimes where I just feel like I CRAVE like a crazy person and want to eat everything in sight..then I do ok for awhile..it's strange:ohwell: ....
Anyway, today I hit the gym early for my spinning class! Had a great workout too! The weather was SO nasty today, I kept looking out the window at work thinking ugh..I don't want to have to drive home in this......Got home safely though, just took a biiiit longer:noway: ..
Tomorrow is the gym early for some treadie time:happy: Tuesday's are usually my longer running days, and so I plan on eating good tomorrow!:laugh: The gym also means I get to see my boy^_^
Have a great night girls! Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening Jammers!
I am loving hearing all the successes of the day! Way to go!!!!:drinker:
Today I hit the gym for a long run- a solid 6.25 on the treadie!! I loved every minute of it , feels soo good!
The rest of the day was work and a little shopping afterward--I surprised my boy with a track jacket haha..(he's always freezing at work!) Needless to say, I popped on over to his place with it, on surprise, and he loved it:bigsmile: Man, I love doing things spontaneously...:laugh: : Finally home, ate some dinner and here I am!
Tomorrow I am off of work, so I'm hitting the gym a little later in the AM, then gonna do my CE and abs afterward or after lunch. Tomorrow night my mom and I are off to the Transsiberian Orchestra concert! I had gotten her and I tickets for it for her X-mas gift, I am super excited!!:happy:
Have a great night all! I'll check in tomorrow I'm sure!

Hey Girls! This AM I hit the gym for Elliptical time-did 65 minutes actually! Burned that machine up with a total 525 calorie burn! WOOTWOOT!:smokin: I spent some time talking with the boy..hehehe...before heading home for my breakfast and boy was i HANNNGRRYY! lol..I just finished my abs before lunch, and am about to make something equally yummy compared with my awesome usual pb/banana oats. I did add something though: My boy gave me a dark chocolate hersheys kiss this AM, and I promised to place it into my hot oatmeal and let it get all melty...it was delicious and very sweet!
After lunch is CE, probably one of the Push workouts but I'm not sure yet After that I've got things to do around the house since it's my day off, and then mom and I go to the TRANSSIBERIAN ORCHESTRA concert tonight!!!!!! So uber excited!
Erika-YUM! I oatbran too! It makes for a much creamier breakfast:smooched: , so delicious! How did you like the protein powder mixed in? Personally add just the right amount of flavor for me!
Dawna- I'm glad to hear your trip went so well! Also, good job getting back into CE-I know how hard it can be after putting the weights off for a few days-UGH! But great job pushing through girl! I definitely love being in my own usual routine as well, and the holidays make that VERY hard:grumble: ...
Have a great afternoon all!

Hey TJ....ers

I made it.. 1 week in, I did Burn It Off & Recharge this am... I'm sore so I really liked the stretching!

Erika How many more cals did you eat while doing CE? Happy Birthday to your son, hope he has a fun one!!

limestar Glad your feeling better!!

My new sign- off I CE!!

I love Turbo Jam, I did my Chalean this morning, and the 20 min. Turbo Jam this evening. LOVE IT!!! I was just telling my husband that the 20 min. Jam is getting much easier....guess I'll have to find more time for the 40 min. one.
Good Luck everyone.

Hey there Jammers! Sorry I've been MIA! I spent New Year's Eve with my boy and pretty near the whole next day, so didn't get to track much until later this weekend. I haven't told him about my MFP obsession...do you think it even matters? He's a personal trainer, went to school for fitness nutrition but sometimes I feel too obsessed with all my measuring/calculating meals....:ohwell:
I honestly thought about giving up tracking my food diary for awhile, but I really need to buckle back down..It was a rough weekend...I went to visit my family a few hours away on Friday night-Saturday, so eating was NOT clean except the snacks I packed. We went out to eat at a German restaurant, which was AMAZING but not a good eating example..and we had peanut butter pie/cake/ice cream/chips for dessert. Then yesterday afternoon us girls went shopping and out to Great Northern Pizza Kitchen-I got a mozz/pesto panini which was really yummy but probably not good either..I got home late after a long drive and just didn't feel like making anything so I heated up and ate too much pasta leftovers-I guess at least that was my clean foods..but still. I am feeling so guilty about the whole weekend mostly because I can't seem to control myself in situations like that. Plus I've been feeling extra hungry lately, and I'm not sure why, Probably because I need to get more sleep as well..
So that's my food dilemma..needless to say I have stayed very active! Hit the gym with Danny Friday AM, and ran a record 7.5 miles for me!!!!!!!!!!! It felt so good..I know I was motivated by him:smooched: Afterward headed to visit family and as you know all that bad eating^^^^..but Saturday AM my mom, my brothers gf, and I hit a local gym she works at. I warmed up with a good 3 on the treadie and then we took an hour long Total Body Conditioning class. It was F-A-N-tastic! :laugh: It felt good burning alot of calories off because my guilt was taking over..:ohwell:
Enough of my sob story though! Today is a brand new day! The holidays are OVER ladies! Let's get back on track! I am going to post a couple goals of mine on here for the week if you girls don't mind..and feel free to join me! I seriously need a kick in the butt and some motivation from you! Please keep me going-Thanks!
1. NO desserts/extra sugary things this week, meaning: don't touch the cookies I baked before..if they go bad--TOO BAD!
2. Push hard for my goals (never usually a problem, but just keeping this in mind).
3. Keep the diet as clean as possible!- Lots of fruits/veggies/100% whole grains/wheats ONLY-No cheating after having waaay too much white breads this weekend.
4. Measure accurately-No saying "it's close enough!"
Okay, I think that completes a few things I need to watch this week..Keep up the great work girls, I feel I've fallen off the wagon a bit, but today I am jumping back on and going to drive that baby!:laugh:

Hi girls

On real fast this am while I enjoy my coffee


Roberta Welcome back... I know how you feel... I feel (((totally obsessed)) when I pull out the measuring cups, spoons, foodscale notebook to measure and calculate when the whole family is watching...but its the only way to go.. !!

Erika I guess I didnt realize, how much I asked of my body this last week. I need to give it the fuel it needs !! But finding that ratio or correct balance is the ?? I am going to try to change it up... this week, eat my bmr 1395 on my rest days, 1795 on my w/o days and throw a few 1947 in the mix. But mainly listen to my body and add food when I feel I need to.

Onto my girl Chalene!! Have a GREAT Monday!! ((BTW I like both lists of goals))

haven't done turbo jam in about a week or two and I feel down and lazy.
MUST START TODAY!

encouragement please!
