Fit N' Fun-Sized - WEEK 5!

I was feeling sore today so I decided to take it easy and try out some Yoga. Lets just say I am not a yoga person lol. I dont think i am relaxed enough for it. I was wanting to move around the whole time. Now i feel like i should have just done one of my regular workouts so i could have burned more calories in the same amount of time. Oh well...I will walk for an hour tonight with 3 lb. weights for an extra burn. I got some Propel flavor packets for my water yesterday & they are pretty good. I got kiwi strawberry. Its 20 cals per packet. I like that it doesnt have Aspartame in it like a lot of low cal drinks do. It will be good when I want a break from plain water. I'm excited for Fridays weigh in. I have done good all week so i hope to see a difference. Talk to yall later..

Hi all you fun sized ladies!! I have been off for a while, not feeling well at all, serious sinus infection and there is nothing they can do to help me...so sad. I have been working out on a reduced scale and trying to eat right. Not gainign actually I am slowly loosing hope everyone is doing good

Happy Friday ladies! Today is day 5 of the P90X series and I completed 58 minutes of the Leg and Back dvd along w/some of the Ab ripper X dvd. I can tell already that some dvd will be more problematic for me than others b/c I struggled w/leg and back today. Part of my problem is that I can only complete one pull up and the entire back section is different forms of the pull up. I tried to improvise by wrapping my bands around the pull up so I could at least do some type of back routine. While I did attempt to give it my all I'm really unsure on how successful I was at it. Now onto the problems w/the leg exercises. This dvd incorporates a lot of lunges or one legged squats (or something to that extent) and b/c I have a bad knee it was pretty difficult, so I tried to modify as best I could. All I can say is that I gave it my best and hopefully in time I find better ways to adjust.

Enough rambling, the workout is done....WooHoo, WooHoo!

Since today is so nasty here in GA I will be chillin most of the day w/the exception of meeting a friend for lunch, getting a pedicure and purchasing concert tickets for myself and my two girlfriends who will be visiting next month. I love my girls (friends since the 7th grade) and they're coming in specifically to go to the Fresh Fest concert with me. For all you old School heads out there, Salt n Pepa, Biz Markie, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick, Whodini & Big Daddy Kane will be gracing the stage next month and the plan is for my girls and I to be front and center representin for all the ppl over the age of 30......WooHoo I haven't seen my girls in about 6 months so this reunion is definitely needed.

Tomorrow: is the lapdance workshop...WooHoo, I'll definitely let you ladies know how that goes

Sunday: two superbowl parties to attend where everyone will be repping the Saints....GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!

What are your weekend plans and if you're attending any superbowl parties will you be bringing your own healthy snacks or indulging on what's provided?

My team won the Super Bowl!

I have been a Colts fan most of my life. Hubby is a Chargers fan so I watch their games too. I think Drew Brees is the best young(er) quarterback and have followed his career since he left the Chargers, so the Saints is my 2nd favorite team. I wish they could both win, but that is impossible. So as long as it is a good game, I will be happy either way.

And my team won the Super Bowl!

JAM

thanks barbie :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Today was a day of healthy eating but too many calories and almost no exercise so I'm way over on my calories:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: We had a fabulous day but it had too many hours in the car and a long meeting that filled the afternoon.

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.

Jam: Valentine's day shouldn't be much of a problem for me. While I do love chocolate I'm not very big on Valentine's day candy/chocolate. I'm also not dating anyone so I have no special plans which means I'm not worried about going over calories. Lastly, I'm currently working from home (i'll be back in the office at the end of the month) so there will be no co-workers bringing in pesty treats.

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.

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.

Jzbaby: Did you attain all your goals for yesterday (8 cups of water, 30 min of exercise and not eating exercise cals)? You've been doing an AWESOME job, I'm glad you finally broke through your plateau.

Oh & i forgot to add that I did workout this morning too. I tried one I never did before called 6 Round Slim Down. It was a pretty good workout, it had me sweating! I am so sore from yesterday tho!! My legs and booty are aching lol. Aiming for 30 mins exercise tonight, 8 cups water & be under calories.:happy:

Good afternoon ladies, my day has blown past me and I'm finally at a point where I can take a break and check in w/my girls. My day began w/an early morning workout. I completed the P90X "Shoulders and Arms"w/o the ab ripper portion of the dvd for a total of 45 minutes and then I practiced my lapdance routine for another 20 minutes. I am not counting the lapdance as part of my official exercise diary but I did get the heart rate up a little. Once the workout was complete I had to shower and get dressed so I could pick my car up from the mechanic. My baby was out of commission for a few days but she's purring nicely right now. Once the car was in my possession I had to head into the office to get some work done. I stayed there for a little bit and then met a friend for lunch. After lunch I returned to my home office and continued working and have FINALLY been able to take a break.

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: today was a good day....we got the news that our cat's diabetes has gone into remission so no more insulin shots :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I stayed within my calories and went to line dance and the dog park and rode the exercise bike for awhile at home.

the weather here is still nice so being outdoors is great........I guess all the snow we don't have has gone south or east.

Hey guys. I wasnt feeling good yesterday so i didnt workout but i stayed within my cals. Today I exercised for 40 mins.
Choco- I dont drink when i work out because i feel like if i do i am going to get cramps. But i was thinking about it and the workouts that i do dont have a lot of jumping in them so i could probably down 1-2 cups while working out. I think i am going to start doing that. Also, i think the cup i use is bigger than 8 oz. so that could be a part of the problem.Right now i have 1 after working out, 1 after my coffee, 3 in afternoon and 2 at/after dinner. If i add in some during workout i wouldnt have a problem getting in 8. A little nervous for the weigh in, i might push it back to sunday..i got on the scale this morning and it was at 142 again...its probably water weight -i hope. I'll weigh in tomorrow but if its still up im gonna wait for my "official" weight on sunday.

Goals for today:
-8 cups water
-30 min exercise
-dont eat all exercise cals

thanks :happy:

Good afternoon my workout buddies and happy Friday! My day began w/ P90X "Legs & Back" dvd. Since completing more than 1 pull up is next to impossible for me I decided to do negative pull ups. I had been reading ppl discuss them in different threads and a friend of mine stated that's what they use in the military to help you build to an actual pull up. A negative pull up is when you lift hold yourself above the pull up bar and slowly let yourself down. I can honestly say I felt it working my back. Hopefully after a few weeks of completing these I will be able to do more than 1 standard pull up. Time will tell.

I went to the dr today to discuss my insomnia and unfortunately the dr didn't have any immediate suggestions. Since I'm a new patient she had to run labs and things of that nature so she won't have options to discuss until the results are back. While I was hoping for a quick fix I can definitely appreciate her not arbitrarily writing a prescription for a sleep aide w/o doing a thorough workup.
