Hi ladies I pushed play and did CLX burn circuit 2 and TF stretch 10. I enjoy this program so far, I forgot how much i like to lift weights. @ keikie I think we have all been there when it comes to starting over or even repeating a week. You know sometimes Life just happenes! You are here now, so we will make the best of it!
@ starlage, Have you ever tried a probotic? A three layer one to target your whole gut system? My mother in law is on a prescription one that is two layers and I personaly take a three layer one by Qivana. My kids take what I do and it makes a big difference. Just wondred.
Keep pushing play!!!!!! 0 -
@kiekie, finishing 7 weeks is great! I'm JUST starting the 20 week plan, it looks so daunting posted on my wall! LOL. You're restarting soon, so we'll be around the same spot in the same spot in the schedule!
@vini, nope never tried one! I eat greek yogurt daily, but yes- a probiotic may be next. HOWEVER. I have had an AMAZING 2 BM's today (sorry, tmi)- that's unheardof for me! I think I can attribute that to the psyllium powder and flax seed. The psyllium I got has a slight taste though, after it's gone I'm guna go for a flavorless one.
Guesssssss what?! My TF came!! And super bonus- looking through the kit, I think it's like a bonus kit or an older one or something because it COMES WITH the advanced dvds! I've got the whole set of regular classes and all of the advanced classes! wow! That wasn't put in the ebay description (he/she coud have made more money!). What a pleasant surprise! So i printed off a 20 week schedule from this website: http://www.michelebarrfitness.com/workout-schedules/turbo-fire/ beacuse I liked it a little more than the TF website's 20 week plan (mostly beacuse she swapped out some of the stretch 10's for short upper or lower toning or ab workouts- perfect for me b/c I like to do my own stretch dvd- mtv yoga!).
Since yesterday was my workday I crossed out week 1's rest day and started on day 1 workout today!I'm already used to working out 6 days a week- have been for the lasy month. I did the fire 30 stretch 10.... That was no joke ladies, hard work! Just as hard as the fire 45, just shorter! I didn't like the music as much though! the music on the fire 45 is so awesome! It was still fun though and I didn't fubmle as much as I expected. It was a lot of the same moves as the fire 45, just mixed up differently. Ooooh I'm so excited!! I tacked the schedule to my wall so that i can cross off the days as I go. That'll feel satisfying somehow- it did today!0 -
Thats great Starlage! Lucky you. I'm already planning to buy the advanced set and I haven't even started the proper schedule yet.
Going to try Fire 55ez tonight for the first time eek!0 -
Today's workout is a short little HIIT15, so I'll probably do 45 mins of yoga after that. I'm sure the HIITs aren't easy in any sense of the word, but I want to get myself up and moving today more than that. 45 of yoga should be a nice end!0

Fire 55ez wasn't what I expected really. I didn't feel it pushed me as much as 45ez. Anyone else find this?0

I did fire 45ez today along with stretch 10, and I'll do core20 tomorrow before I hit the road to see my brother in the morning. I'm supposed to try shaun t's rockin body program this weekend with my brother's girlfriend who has it, so we'll see how that goes!
I weighed in tonight at my mom's, first time since thanksgiving break that i've weighed in, and I'm down another 7 pounds even with a month of not working out. Feels great to be back to working out and I'm more motivated than ever to kick some butt at turbofire and get in shape!0 -
:bigsmile: 12 weeks of Turbofire done! I need to take measurements and progress photos this weekend and will be sure to post my results and pictures in here. Bring on the advanced classes and another 8 weeks!0

wow everyone's doing so awesome!!!
I saw a NEW NUMBER on the scale this morning! I'm a daily weigher, so I see and know and am confortable with my fluctuations, but I haven't seen anything below 150 since august! I'm so amazed! Weighed in at 149.8 this morning! Totally made me smile I haven't lost any inches on my waist or hips since last month but I lost half an inch on my thighs and .25 inches on my upper arms, so that's exciting! I definitely see more definition in my stomach under the flub. it's PEAKING THROUGH!! So after one month of cardio kickboxing workouts I lost three pounds and a bit off my thighs and upper arms and defnitely feel stronger. I'm excited to be in the actual turbofire routine now though!
Today's my fourth day (since I counted wed as my rest day) so I'm doing fire 30 stretch 10 again. The HIIT 15 yesterday was no joke! Definitely tough. Not too tough, but harder than I expected I've determined i'm a horrible jumper! I can't get my legs up very high at all. I'll get there.
Tonight I'm going out to dinner and live music with girlfriends in downtown Seattle to celebrate my friend's birthday, i'm so excited! I'm saving calories, eating super light today. Today'll likely be my spike day though. I'm still going to try to estimate my food diary. I like to keep up the routine- if I let myself skip days it can lead to skipping more and more days for me, so it's important to keep it up even though it won't be super accurate.0 -
Wow, no one here for Sunday huh?
I didn't workout today! I had planned to- I was invited to a superbowl party but am not a football fan so I figured "go, hang out for an hour and head home, get my exercise in" but I ended up staying for 3 1/2 hours and by the time I got home it was already after 7pm! I don't workout after 7- I go to bed at 10, that's just too much activity that close to bedtime. So I decided to just skip it today, enjoy my food spike day and get back at it tomorrow! Unplanned rest day- second one this week. Oh well!0 -
I did Fire 55ez again yesterday, second time this week to see if I found it more challenging knowing the moves better, but I'm burning only about 20 calories more than fire45ez, which is my favourite of the lot. Will keep at it and see if I can up my burn though.
I'm down another 1.5lb this week, but its time of the month so I always gain a couple of lb, but I had move in to another hole on my belt this morning so I'm definitely getting smaller, even if its not showing much on the scales yet.0 -
