Slim In 6 Workout Buddies Wanted!

Thanks for the welcome guys. Made it through easter and still lost 1.5lbs last week. Hopefully I can keep it up. I have to stop weighing myself every day, it is way to addicting lol.

Sorry you're having a bad day, Sweettart. I did NOT feel like working out today either, and it was the hardest workout of them all: Tear It Up. I have something I remind myself on these kinds of days days (it's in my signature even), and that is:

"Success doesn't come from being motivated every day. It comes from sticking with the plan on those days you have no motivation."

On the bright side, you got 25 minutes in! :happy:

Callie, I think you're right about there being an uneven number of reps for triceps from one side to the next. You'd think they would check for those things, wouldn't you? LOL. I like your idea of Slim to a Size 6!

RadianWear, I weigh myself every day too. If it doesn't bum you out, I see nothing wrong with that. If it frustrates you, though, it's probably a good idea to ween yourself from the scale.

Have a great evening!

Hello RadianWear Yes its frustrating... been there! But now I dont want to face the scale and see, so I dont weigh, but once a week. Once it starts down again I'll feel better about it!

sweetart I'm Sorry... everybody has bad/ off days ((( HUGS to you))). Tomorrow will be a better day!

Jill Yes you would think! :laugh: There it is my new fav moto of yours... I need to remember!

scoobees On the triceps and others.... Mon, Wed Fri start on the right... Tues Thurs and Sat start on the left.. so I will not be lop sided! Yeaa.. you got a 45 min- er in !!

Gotta run.. :noway:

yeah I am switching to once a week.

on a seperate note, is everyone using the food tracker on this site or do you use something else? I am doing WW but the tracker here is right in line with the pt system. So I moved here cuz it is free and easier to track. I am having a hard time eating enough. Tonight after my snack and exercise I still have 800 calories to eat lol. I want to eat healthy stuff, but healthy stuff doesnt have enough calories. IS there a way to share your food diaries on here? Id like to see what others are doing and share and compare.

let me see if this works

and i still have 500-600 calories left.

I would say it's in the air, but maybe it was the not so good food day I had (anyone else have that problem?) yesterday on Easter Sunday! I DID NOT WANT TO WORK OUT!!! At 8 (9 by the time they were snoring) when the kids laid down I was already yawning and thinking about my lovely bed....but I forced myself through it thinking about weighing myself tomorrow and hoping to be pleased. I cursed DS the whole 24.whatever minutes SIU lasts...back talking her to no end...and at the end I realized I didn't have to stop once for a break, that I could keep up with the push ups, and though the squats and lunges are out of my reach as of yet I actually kinda like those plie moves...I made it through in one piece and without falling over or stopping...and it was only 30 minutes later (minus what its taking me to post here!) and then I can crawl into bed. Not a bad deal! Oh, and I got to have a Jello Chocolate Indulgence Mousse cup cuz I burned more calories!

Girls hang in there, those off days will come and go, it's how we deal with them that allows us to remember that this lifestyle change requires physical and MENTAL endurance! In it for the long haul I say!!!!

...Sweettart 25 minutes is better than NO minutes...Scoobees good job on avoiding the bon bons and going for a walk, keep those knees working...RadianWear, I try to throw in a PB and J sandwich if I've got extra calories I've got to take in, it's good calories! Or apple slices with peanut butter mixed with a tbsp of marshmallow fluff...yummm

oh nice, thanks pjilly. I just made mine public.

Hey Girls

Just stopped to say NO RIU for me today... been a L_O_N_G one cleaning out my kichen cabinets! But I'll be back at it tomorrow and will catch up here also!

Hope everyone is well:flowerforyou:

Started burn it up tonight. OMG it is no joke, I nearly passed out. Have to take it at a slower pace from the start. Burned almost 600 calories from that whopper, no wonder its called burn it up lol.

Did you curse at Debbie? I will never forget the first time I did BIU. When she said, "Get focused," I replied, "Get f***ed." I'm sure you can fill in the blank. LOL

Truhvn, nice job on the working out and calorie burn yesterday!

My weight has been up slightly the last few days. I'm feeling a little bloated and just "thick" if that makes sense. It will feel good to move today after my rest day yesterday. I'll be doing S&6-Pack, Cardio Core Express, and S&Limber.

I made the decision yesterday that I'll be starting a round of P90X Monday, April 26.

Happy Hump Day, everybody!

Yes it is. It's not just 11 minutes longer, but it's a considerably faster pace, which makes it more intense, but I found it got easier fairly quickly. Have fun!

Hi Girls

Gosh wish I had more time to chat... I'll try again tomorrow:frown:

I just got done w/ RIU <-> the stretch and yoga phase, it doesnt do much for me, and then did S & L... now thats more like it!!

I miss yacking with you all here!!

Hi Shannon! Wishing you much success with SI6! :flowerforyou:

Callie - Hope you have more time to chat soon. You sound BUSY!

Natasha - Congrats for not caving in and eating the junk! Yikes - what kind of food options are those??? :grumble:

Jill - You go girl! P90X?! In my dreams! I would LOVE to try either P90X or Insanity. With all my joint issues, I don't think either are an option anymore. :frown: A few years ago - for sure! I can't wait to hear your details!!!

RadianWear - You're a better woman than I. Yes, I cussed. Several times in fact when I first started BIU. :laugh: And I STILL love that one, and STILL swear, sometimes.

Ok, no exercise today. :grumble: My knee is considerably worse from yesterday's Firm it Up even without lunges. I am really trying to stay positive, but it's hard. I was going to at least do the bike today, but used my sore throat & sniffles as an excuse to watch TV instead.

So, I had to be real careful with calories today for sure. But it's ok, we all have our issues in life I suppose. But it just SUCKS because I really do LOVE to exercise!!!! Well, at least 90% of the time.

And it's not the first time I've been through this. The second time I reached goal weight, I had to give up exercise for awhile because of my knees so I had to do it through careful dieting. I gave Eat to Live (Joel Fuhrman's) book a try, and the pounds literally fell off, but it was just so hard to keep doing. So strict. Almost all fruits, veggies, beans, and seeds. A miniscule amount of grains, no dairy or animal products (mostly), etc. Obviously VERY healthy - just difficult for the average Joe who enjoys processed foods, meat and dairy lol. Man, the first week was like detox! Dizzy & lightheadedness, headache - where's my sugar??!! :sad: Anyway, it looks like I may have to give that another whirl...or something similar anyway.

Anyway, hope everyone's doing well! See u all tomorrow!

Just to clarify scoobee, Im a male lol. I was going to do p90x but there was no way I was passing the fitness test. I want something more begginer level and found this program was a good build up into something more intense and had great reviews so I went with it. Most men jump right into p90x, but my whole purpose with diet and excerices is to prevent a heart attack not cause one lol.

Just stopped in to say HI! Gotta say its a piling up on me the last few days.. hope to see a end... might be Monday before I get back to SI6! :noway:

HUGS :flowerforyou:
