Amigas Fuerte - Strong Girlfriends

I want to join! Amigas fuertes sounds good:) I'm a Spanish teacher and finishing my second masters, and hopefully starting my doctorate. My fiance and started P90X about a month ago...really, not really seeing the results I want to so far...but amigas fuertes....I eventually will!!

Morning Amigas!

Kristen Welcome! Like Megan said just jump right in. Nicole completed PX90 and Amanda just recently started the program... I prefer to workout outdoors mostly. I see you only have 10 lbs. those could be the most difficult to lose from what i hear.

Megan - I'm glad your shoulder is much better. Good for you on still getting in your workout after a days work :bigsmile: How are the babies doing in the childcare? I had a very nice date :bigsmile:

Nicole - Good to hear from you girl! What the heck is "mixed bag"? :laugh: You are always experimenting with new classes and keeping us up to date :bigsmile: Switching things up is Great... I need something new too. I'm glad your all better and back in the groove. :flowerforyou:

Sandy - You've been really Keeping it Moving :happy: Take advantage of that momentum before TOM starts coming around again :bigsmile: How are your muscles today? How about some Yoga? I'm sure you have a DvD :laugh:

Amanda - Miss Ya Girl! :flowerforyou:

Yesterday, I suggested to my date we go on the Boardwalk and rollerblade :bigsmile: . He rode his bike. Ft. Lauderdale Beach was Beautiful... the wind was calm and the water crystal blue Afterwards, we spread a blanket and had a picnic with some chicken wings, potatoe salad, rolls and wine coolers :blushing: I didn't eat any potatoe salad, only 1 roll and about 3 drumettes. They were too Spicy and I can't eat Hot stuff :laugh: I had 2 wine coolers :blushing: I should've broke even with my calories. My appetite is more controlable right after TOM is gone :ohwell:

Make it a Great Day Amigas!

Hey Ladies!!!!

Sounds like you are all doing very well!!! I have not logged food in awhile as I have just been so busy I can't even remember what I ate lol. I have not gained any weight so that is good. Finally into the house and getting things unpacked. I feel comfortable enough now that I am not working all day on the house so tomorrow will be my first day back to working out. I am excited and cant wait

Have a great day and I will check in more tomorrow off to the kids swimming lessons

Today I did the elliprical and some weight training.

Sandy have fun this weekend.

Amanda Have a great workout.

Nicole Congrats on being done with the hrm.

Spicy I have no brought the kids with me, thet have been sick and I don't want them getting other kids sick. I hate when people bring their sick kids.

Have a great night girls.

Happy Monday Amigas!

It's raining cats and dogs here today... Monday & Rainy... Drats :ohwell:

I did really well as far as exercise this weekend... But I can't seem to stop eating. I was blaming it on TOM, but that has been long gone. I really want to get back in the "Zone" like I was a couple months back. When I was exercising 5-6 times a week sometimes and staying within my calories.

Sandy - Hope You and Hubby had a Fantastic Weekend Getaway... Did the weather cooperate? :flowerforyou:

Nicole - Good to hear you are Right on Track Girlfriend... I don't blame you for ditching the HRM, What's the point if you aren't counting as much anymore

Megan - The kiddos are still ill? I hope they get better soon :flowerforyou: What is your goal as far as fitness?

Amanda - I know you are a Busy Beaver :happy: How nice to have something New to work on. The whole Buying process went pretty smooth for you guys :happy:

I have my gym gear with me... getting on the elliptical and some weights. I'm feeling sore today from the weekend workout and I want to keep this soreness... maybe it will remind me how good it feels when I've completed my workout :happy:

I saw a movie on DVD this weekend called "Triangle". If you guys Psychological Thrillers as much as I do... This is a Good one. :flowerforyou:

Make it a Great Day!!!!

Today I did the elliptical and some strength training.

Sandy I'm glad to here you had a nice weekend.Don't worry about not counting cals, you deserved the break.

Spicy Sounds like you had a good workout weekend, don't worry too much about the food. I always say if I go over my cals I will just have an excuse to work out longer. I know it sounds dumb but working out is kind of relaxing to me. The kids are doing much better. My goal for exercise is to work on my saddlebag area as much as possible. All the women in my family store most of their fat in that area.

Nicole I hope I see you at the gym one of these times. I have been having to go at night lately. hopefully I can start going to some classes soon.

Have a great night girls.

No workout today, I have to work tomorrow for 5 hours of cleaning at BSU. FUF FUN!!!

Spicy For my saddlebags I use the machine that is like a reverse thigh master. You have weight on your legs while you try to open them. I try to do low weight and high rep so I don't build that muscle too much.

I hope everyone else is doing good.

Have a great night girls.

Last week I worked out 4 of 7 days.... and one of those days was a 2 hour workout. :bigsmile: The eating is another story :laugh:
